Lao Table

The way food was presented at this eatery reminded me of Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine. I tried the S & P crispy pork belly, and that dish, served prettily on blue plates had lots of eye appeal. A perfect mound of rice sat beautifully with chunky cubes of fatty pork. The matcha lava cake was noteworthy, it was nutty, earthy, and sweet. The service was quick and efficient. The eatery is designed tastefully too.

I came here as part of a team dinner, it was a great experience. The staff was very sweet and helpful, and accommodated a last-min request to move the reservation up earlier. The appetizers and main course were really good but what nailed the meal for us were the desserts!!! Just too good. I especially loved the one with coconut icecream and red bean and sticky rice. Must try! There were ample options for vegetarians. Ambiance and vibe was great too. If you are near SF Downtown, highly recommend going here for some good Asian food.

In one word, amazing. Loved everything about this place. Yes it is on the bit expensive side but the tasty food and amazing ambience definitely makes it worth the buck. The only small issue that I can think of is the slow waiter response ( although that can also be forgiven because the food came a few minutes after we gave the order) and probably that was because they were almost working at capacity. Now to the food that I ordered: ❤️ Vegetarian red curry was super and I just loved the tofu they put in it, I rarely like the tofu but the tofu they used was just the perfect amount of firm and soft. ❤️ Vegan pad mee lao was better than I expected. I generally don't order pad Thai in Thai places because I find it a little too dry for my likeness but there was something special about lao pad mee noodles and they were just perfect for me.

It was my first time visiting Lao Table with a bunch of work friends and I was amazed by what this place has to offer. Its just a few mins walk from Salesforce tower in a tiny unassuming hole in the wall. But inside, its a colorful world with beautiful lamps and some mouth-watering Laotian food. I was highly impressed by the decor and the staff was helpful too - letting us know that certain dishes had peanuts incase someone had allergies or fish oil incase we had Vegans among us. Coming to the Food - right from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course, everything was sooo flavorful and colorful. We had Oysters - that were absolutely fresh, Watermelon Salad was huge but yum and Thai basil chicken fried rice was bursting with flavors. Also the garlic chicken Wings were a nice twist. All the drinks we ordered were delicious. I highly recommend Sticky Rice with Mango - it felt like I was back in Southeast Asia, also the mango shaved ice was tasty. Overall I highly recommend Lao Table and can't wait to go back!!!

Been wanting to try Lao Table for the longest time. Parking is horrible! Because of this, I've only had their food delivered by DD. It's not the same. It's like ordering a salt and pepper crab to be delivered! Does not do the food justice! One of the few places in SF that offers the steak a la " cry"! The meat used for this dish was high quality. Another standout dish was the seabass clay pot. Wonderful taste and is filled with aroma. Oh, don't forget the matcha Lava cake. Beautiful presentation and simply delicious and brought along by U Dessert Story.

Stumbled upon Lao Table while staying at the Clancy for the Sickick concert. Super clean, very friendly staff, and the food was delicious! Everything was presented in a stunning arrangement (literally just like the menu photos). We had chicken satay and wrapping vegetables crispy rolls as apps, then followed with Spicy Thai basil chicken and Khaw Kai noodles. Side note: Their "medium" spicy had my husband CRYING. Be careful :) Absolutely recommend this place, can't wait to be back!

Best restaurant ever! I was in San Francisco on business for a few weeks. I went to this restaurant for dinner several times during my stay. I ate a different meal each time. I didn’t know it was possible for a restaurant to have perfect consistency across all dishes when it comes to freshness, presentation, and such potent flavor ( unique to each dish of course ). Despite the normal ( sadly ) trashy upkeep of the CITY of SF, this little treasure not only exists but is THRIVING. If the owners read this review, I hope they seriously consider my suggestion of opening another location in Dallas where I’m from. I’m really going to miss this place. Such great food.
