Cheap food

I had the spicy soup with vegetables which was very nice and had alot of vegetables. However the person i was with ordered fresh spring rolls which were very small and bland. It was dissapointing.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Inconsistent with portion size and quality

so so

The best thing about this place is the view :-)

Other than that the food was nothing special, the place wasn't clean enough, and the service was poor.

Oh and it's very inexpensive, a case of getting what you pay for.

Good and cheap

Tons of vegan options, level of yum was kind of hit or miss though. Had green fresh spring rolls which were kind of blah, just noodles and some lettuce and bean sprouts inside with a watery peanut dipping sauce. The papaya salad was pretty good, not the best ever but I was just happy to find a vegan version. The stir fried morning glory with tofu was very tasty - nice and garlicky.

Good food

Food was good and a big Vegetarian menu. Only the last vegetable fried rice for take away was little disappointing with just morning glory. But it was tasty.
The owner are not friendly, deinterested and bored and just do their job.

Pros: A lot of vegetarian options can make e vegan. , Very cheap. Nice view on the Mekong.

Cons: Not friendly owners/staff.

Good enough

Good River view, though the river isn't much to look at itself. Green curry had decent flavor. Cheap place.

Best curry in Luang Prabang.

Although this restaurant is not fully vegetarian or vegan, don't let that dissuade you. I tried most happy cow options in Luang Prabang but found myself always returning here. When ordering, make sure to point clearly on the menu to what you want. My absolute favorites that I went back for time and time again were the green, yellow & red curry soups. #244, #246 & #248 on the menu.
Don't let the staff put you off - In Laos, the people don't naturally smile at you always but I came to realise that this is just cultural and beneath the surface, they are beautiful natured people. Definitely try the curry soups!

Pros: Very cheap, Very delicious, Beautiful location

Cons: Serves meat

Magic in Luang Prabang ~

I happened upon this place at random and very grateful for this. The curry soup with tofu (green yellow and red) are particularly magic ~
We came here almost every day of our travels through Luang Prabang. Very much recommend a visit for the food, atmosphere & characters!

They do serve meat options which is a shame, however if more vegetarians and vegans flow through I'm sure that could change one day!

Pros: The Curry, The conversation , The Mekong Magic

Cons: Meat options
