Vientiane Café

I got sick from eating here, even though they claimed things were cooked separately. I ordered the pad Thai, and I think it might have been the tofu? Would not go back here again.

I have eaten here many times both takeout and in-restaurant. Never gotten sick and the food is insanely good. Bf is vegetarian and it’s very easy to find gf and veg options. The king soup is our favorite. The flavor just hits the spot. They are very accommodating and kind. Byob also!

One of the best restaurants in West Philly for gluten and non-gluten eaters alike. They can make most of the menu GF and clearly mark which items are already GF. I’ve never gotten sick here. I’ve also visited with someone with a soy allergy, and he was able to find something GF, soy-free and vegetarian.

The cafe has listed GF items and can make much of the rest GF as well. We had the GF pad Thai in addition to the best Laotian food ever. I felt safe eating here and did not experience any cross contamination.

Delicious and very good about accommodating GF. Haven’t gotten sick in the many times I’ve eaten here.
