EDITOR'S NOTE: An updated version of this article (30 November 2023) is available as
part of the Historical section of our Substack page. Check
that out here:
After the first visit to Vientiane Restaurant in Garden Grove, the question was asked: "Is this the best restaurant in the Southland?" And by Southland, obviously that pretty much means the entire country. But more importantly, is this the best restaurant in the entire world? Every dish ordered was jaw-droppingly delicious. If there were a time for hyperbole, it is after a meal here.
The restaurant is very relaxed, as is the service. If most of the tables are full, expect a little extra time as the staff and kitchen catch up. A lot of comments online criticize this aspect of the place, but it is completely unnecessary. Grab a $2.95 beer and relax. This is not West Hollywood.
The ingredients and preparation seem perfect, simple and fresh as you find in Laos and on the whole even better. If you were the type to make lists, Vientiane would find its way to the top of them. Any patron looking to get an introduction to Lao cuisine should start out with the Lao-style papaya salad (above) and the larb minced beef salad (below).
Thank you!
