Vientian Cafe

Google this place on our way home. Service was fast and friendly. We enjoyed the Thai tea the most from our order, it was decent and herbal enough. The large papaya was sadly too salty and small for $11. The $3 sausage was good. The pad Thai was more wet than my liking and wasn't as flavorful. This place is decent and ok for Thai food. Not the best but also not the worst. No dine in only takeout.

Lots of people eat here but no one really knows about this spot. The staff is super friendly and fast. (They’re mostly northern Thai peeps hence the Laos menu items) Some of the best Thai/Laos food in Oakland, I ordered the Sai Oooa which is traditional sausage usually served with Som Tom (papaya salad) and sticky rice yassss delicious pork, lemongrass, garlicky yumminess (giving me life) -Go Get you some. The RadNa (beef n broccoli stir fry with wide rice noodles in a black sweet soy gravy) was just like ordering from a street vendor minus the broccoli n carrots. If you haven’t had Thai beef jerky, you’re missing out. This hidden gem is 2-3 min drive from high street.

Really great neighborhood spot for authentic Thai, Laotian, and Vietnamese dishes. Everything from the spring rolls to the soup to the drunken noodles, the sausage, the sticky rice... All delicious, and very fairly priced for the quality and quantity. Was recommended by my relative who lives nearby, and we will definitely be back!
