About the Business

Specialties

Vegetarian Naam salad lettuce wrap is truly one of our best dishes, along side with a big bowl of King Soup, made with red coconut curry broth. How about crispy half a duck with our many sauces? We specialize in making our food cater to many different diets and allergies, for example gluten free and diary free. Vientiane cafe is also proud of our many vegetarian and vegan friendly options, so we always have something for everyone.

History

Established in 2002.

Vientiane Café is a small family run business established in 2002. Chef Daovy Phanthavong, along with her husband Phoxay Sidara and their two daughters Manorack and Sunny Phanthavong have been serving the community over 13 years. Vientiane Café started out as the "Blue Tarp" and also known as the "Blue Tent" or the "Backyard Spot", known to serve food outside of Chef Daovy's home. By word of the mouth, her home business grew and community-goers and travelers lined outside the backyard waiting to taste the $3 plates of Pad Thai and various curries. In translation Daovy means "star", and that she is. Daovy has been cooking for the community for more than over 20 years, giving them a taste of Laos by cooking home-style meals. Daovy immigrated to America in the early 80's and what she brought along with her is the knowledge of traditional Lao hospitality, culture and cuisine.
