yummy food and lovely staff - Edit
I’ve been there twice so far since I arrived in Vientiane, and both times have been happy with the food and the service. They have a menu with English descriptions and some pictures with noodles, Vietnamese soup, fried rice, mock meats, plenty of vegetables and a range of choices. They also have chocolate coconut water.. so good and simple ingredients. As well as vege friendly instant noodles for sale and some snack foods. Prices range from 15K to 30K kip. Servings are medium sized.

All vegan restaurant, very tasty cheap food - Edit
Lots of options to choose from and you can get a good-sized dish for as cheap as 15000kip. So far I have tried the pineapple fried rice (it comes with a mixture of other veggies and some mock meat) and the fresh rice noodle soup, both very tasty!
Location is perhaps not the best,the place is hidden away on a small alley, a 2 minute walk away from the main road (I didn't dare to walk there alone on my first night in Vientiane as it looked too dark, but it actually looks perfectly nice and safe during the day)
Pros: Cheap, lots of options, all vegan, yummy
Cons: Location not in the tourist area (though very clos

Great little shabby eatery! - Edit
The shabby surroundings in a back-street belies the fact that the South-East Asian cuisine served here is awesome! Super friendly staff and quick service with a wide variety of options. They do use a lot of mock meat, which I'm not a big fan of, and it would have been nice to have more local Lao-style dishes to choose from. But overall it's fantastic food at a good price.
Pros: extensive menu, delicious food, fantastic staff
Cons: shabby, not many Lao dishes, too much mock-meat

Simply Sensational - Edit
Hands down some of the best vegan food I’ve ever tasted!
Order many dishes to share to get a real feel for the place. I would recommend the fake duck with peanut sauce, stir fry vegetables in black bean sauce, fake lamb salad and a big helping of rice! All freshly and wonderfully prepared and served with a smile.
Pros: Food variety and taste , Value , Service
Cons: Tricky to find without maps

Everything is delicious! - Edit
We ate here three times in two days - everything we had was well cooked and flavoured, and absolutely delicious.
The space itself is basic but welcoming.
The grilled chicken is amazing, as was the roast duck and mixed fried rice. They also have ingredients to buy and take away. My favourite was something similar to pork scratchings.
Five dishes from the menu came to just 90,000 Kip (around 8GBP or 6.5USD).
Pros: Loads of choice, Everything is delicious, Great value for money

Lovely - Edit
A really simple but cute and cheap place serving local cuisine. The papaya salad and is fantastic and a steal at only 10000 kip, that's less than a pound.

Good for an evening meal - Edit
Directly opposite Phounsub restaurant and directions on Happy Cow are accurate.
Quite reasonable, simple food at low to moderate prices (85,000 for three people). Stays open later than Phounsub so maybe better to go in the evening to this one.
Pros: Reasonable, simple food, Cheap, open in evening and easy to find

Our favourite place in Vientiane - Edit
We really enjoyed the food here- lots of fake meat but very tasty, we especially liked the peanut sauce roast duck. The staff were really friendly and helpful and there are some vegan snacks you can buy to take away. The food seemed fresh and in the evenings they make noodle soup in as big pot out the front. We ended up back in Vientiane a second time and couldn’t help but go here again.
Afterwards you can pop across the road for a coffee and cake at the new vegan coffee shop!

Yummy and cheap - Edit
Food is very cheap and tasty! Was a little bit disturbed by some of the choices on the menu (fish womb soup) but was reassured it was all vegan, all fake meat and fish. I had the pineapple fried rice which was delicious and also tried the fried chicken which was very yummy and 100% vegan!
Pros: lots of vegan options
Cons: slightly disturbing menu

Good food for good price - Edit
Felt kinda uncomfortable with the menu (as the duck and chicken dishes are veganized but still named as such). Ordered 5 dishes which came to $10 total and filled two hungry stomachs. Will come back when I'm in town again.
Pros: vegan, tasteful, variety

Not tasty - Edit
I found the good reviews so I tried here, very disappointed with the taste. I tried many kind of food but only Phoe Lao and papaya salad are good, the rest I couldn't eat them.

Really Disappointing - Edit
I wanted to check this place out based on mostly good reviews but I have to say I was very disappointed. The food was bland (I had the tofu and basil - it was literally just that, no other veg like in the pictures) and the atmosphere was non-existent. I wasn't served any green tea whilst waiting, as suggested in pictures, and instead was sat in silence bar the clock ticking whilst the 3 members of staff just played on their phones. Some of my tofu was cooked some of it was just fresh slopped out of the packet. There also wasnt really much for me to chose from as even some dishes on the vegan menu arent vegan and there are a lot more meat options! Really disappointed with this one :(

Over Rated - Edit
I was so excited to find a vegan buffet in overpriced Vientiane. But, sorry, I was very disappointed with this place. The food was average to say the least and everything but the rice and soup were cold (was there at 11.30am). The dishes are served in Bain Marie's but with no heating elements.
I ended up eating a rather large handful of the fake pork crackling and a few of the rice paper rolls as they were the only thing with any taste. Disappointed.
Pros: in a back street so I enjoyed the adventure to fin, vegan, so cruelty free
Cons: if you don't have a map you will get lost!

Amazing Vegan food - Edit
Lovely little restaurant in the middle of Vientiane, although hard to find it's worth it!
The faux meat is great, along with all the salads (papaya very spicy)
Pros: Amazing value for money, Staff are super cute
Cons: Hard to find, Lack of English

Adorable, Cheap and Tasty - Edit
The food was good, so cheap and totally vegan. So nice to be able to eat local food that's also vegan ( so much of the time my vegan finds are western focused). Will be coming back here for lunch for the entire duration of my stay in Vientiane :)
Pros: pad thai

vegan restaurant with very nice food - Edit
the extensive menu is in both English and Lao and the majority of the menu prices range from 15,000 to 30,000 kip ... the quality and quantity of food are both good ... staff are very friendly but have limited English but ordering is not a problem as you can just point to menu items ... Happy Cow map and directions are accurate
Pros: cheap food and extensive menu
Cons: none

Yummy - Edit
I ate here shortly after my 80km bike ride into Laos. The menu is vast with many styles of food to choose from. I chose the papaya salad and a yellow noodle dish. Both had fast turnaround and exploded with freshness! In total it cost 30k kip for two meals; not bad.
Pros: Polite patient staff, Tastes fresh

Wonderful food! - Edit
I'd ate a delicious "duck something" and mixed rice with tofu.
The staff are really friendly, so they'll help you to order, also they didn't speak a good English, but it's just a detail, because I can not speak Lao.
Everything is made by vegetables, the name of the dishes "duck, chicken, pork" is just about texture and taste of the food.
Vegan food!
