this is a great place to come downtown with coworkers or a large party. all the plates are sharable for the table and there are a ton of vegetarian options to choose from. our lovely server was very attentive and even made sure to substitute the oyster sauce when we forgot. we were able to get a table right away towards the end of the night and the service was amazing! everything we ordered came out so quick. the food is flavorful, portions are large, and presentation is nice. the cocktails were fun but all were a bit too sweet for me.

Came here for Happy Hour to try their Taste of Laos happy hour platter - a delicious and affordable deal (especially for the area!). For $38 it comes with ten oysters + Garlic Wings + Crispy Calamari + Lao Sausage. Split between two people, with an added $4 side of sticky rice, this was a satisfying light dinner. We were seated right away just after they opened at 5pm on a Tuesday. Service was good, 4/5, not the friendliest but they worked fast and food was delivered quickly. I got the mango mania mocktail ($10), which was just okay with too much ice. Ironically the mocktails and zero proof drinks are more expensive than the selection of $7 happy hour cocktails. Please add a mocktail to the happy hour menu! We were happy with the Taste of Laos platter- surprisingly the Lao sausage was the highlight! I also liked the calamari. Oysters were a 4/5, mostly for being so affordable ($1.50 each even when ordering outside of the platter!), but taking off a star because I had a bad stomach after. I will stick with the cooked foods and try the Tod Tod Happy Tray next time.But the true highlight of our meal was dessert! The Khao Tom Mudd (5/5) was one of the best and tastiest desserts I've had in ages! And I definitely have a sweet tooth. Sweet coconut sticky rice & red bean in banana leaf with coconut ice cream in a young coconut shell. This is a must try!! Lovely ambiance with plenty of seating. Short walk to Montgomery Bart.

LaoTable is where you should be for happy hour. We got their platter, which consisted of a variety of dishes + oysters for about $38. The rest of our items were great too! This place would be great for a larger party. It's easy to eat family style. Service was quick, the staff was great.

Stumbled upon Lao Table on one of the Downtown First Thursday nights and was pleasantly surprised. The food and drink menu is expansive. The atmosphere was bustling and vibrant. For mains we had the "S&P crispy pork belly" rice dish and the "pad mee lao prawns" noodle dish. Both portions were a generous size, cooked well, and packed with flavor. For dessert, we had the "khao tom mudd" which was all-things coconut in a young coconut shell. A must-try for coconut lovers. Overall a solid spot for Thai food if you're in the SOMA area.

My team and I wanted to take our colleague (one of my besties) out for lunch since she recently got promoted/transferred to another department within our company. It's a bittersweet moment since my old team and I onboarded and welcomed her by taking her to Osha Thai. Now, she's ending with the sister restaurant LaoTable.She didn't initially know where to eat, so we actually flipped a gift card for one of two choices. This ended up being the spot and it was such a great choice!My team and I ended up sharing an appetizer and ordering our own main dishes.We ended up getting:-Garlic Chicken Wings $17.95 (shareable)-"Gai Tod" Fried Chicken $25.95 (manager ordered this for herself)-S&P Crispy Pork Belly $27.95 (I ordered this)-Garlic Pepper Pork $27.95 (bestie ordered this)-Spicy Thai Basil Chicken $26.95 (other colleague ordered this)-3 Coke Zeros **my manager graciously paid for all of us to eat, so I'm unsure of the total**REVIEW OF EVERYTHING I TRIED:-Garlic Chicken Wings: These were good! The chicken was fried perfectly, although I do wished there was more of a garlic taste. There was fried garlic paired with this, but not much of a garlic taste to it. Otherwise, the chicken itself was juicy and it was a great starter 3.5/5.-S&P Crispy Pork Belly: This was really good!! I thought it might have been TOO heavy of a dish, but it was filling and did not make me sleepy at all. The pork belly was lightly crisp, and it paired nicely with the hot sauce that has a nice kick. I will say the rice ratio to pork belly was a bit off, but it was still a great portion nonetheless. The fried egg was cooked PERFECTLY and I do appreciate the slices of cucumbers and soup to cut down on the fat. Definitely a dish I would eat again!! 4.5/5.-Garlic Pepper Pork: I got to try a small bite of this dish and it was good! The pork itself is mixed in a slightly thick sauce that is both sweet and savory, Definitely a great balance and pairing with the egg and rice. 4/5I'll definitely eat here again! The food was delicious although some of the prices are a bit steep. The place was decorated beautifully, as well as the food was plated so well! Definitely a great place to have lunch or dinner at with friends, family, or colleagues since it can accommodate larger and smaller parties.

Food was delicious and so flavorful! So much variety! We decided to go for the Lao Table platter which features some of their fried appetizers (calamari, tom yum fries, garlic chicken wings, pork belly, beef jerky, and three different kinds of sauces) and the Original Lao Platter which included a sampler of their mains. The food was delicious,but there were definitely some spicy items (larb duck and hot and spicy beef soup) that are not for the faint of heart. While the presentation was beautiful, it wasn't a practical setup being placed on an elevated platter and some of the samples were not easy to split, despite it being a shareable dish (soup, lettuce wrap, fried cumin chicken, sticky rice which came in a bag). We also had to ask for bowls for the soup (unless the soup was meant to be more of a sauce?). There were moments where I wondered if we were eating things the way they were meant to be. Overall though, the two platters were a good amount of food that could be split amongst four to five persons and the food was delicious and flavorful! The restaurant itself was spacious, well-decorated, and able to accommodate for our group of eleven persons. Drinks-wise, I quite liked their cocktail selection from their happy hour Jim Julep and one of my friends ordered their Lao old-fashioned, which they lit on fire and gave the old-fashioned a unique smoky flavor. Their happy hour also looks enticing! They apparently have happy hour Monday thru Saturday 5-7PM and all day Friday which includes a varied selection of their appetizers, platters, and drinks, including some of the items we tried. Would love to come back another time!

Ordered the spicy eggplant. Was good and I didn't even mind the basil (which I don't usually like), but would be nice if they had more typical Thai food on the menu, like pad Thai, etc. most things did not seem like traditional Thai take out, so I struggled to find something I wanted to order.

Visited LaoTable during happy hour and had a good experience. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The cocktails were beautifully presented and tasted great. Overall, it's a solid spot for a well-priced happy hour. Looking forward to returning to try more from their regular menu!

Huge thank you to the staff for accommodating my large party! A bunch of my coworkers flew in as they were from out of town (and state!) and I appreciated that LaoTable's menu was extensive and could accommodate a vegetarian preference. The menu may seem fusion based on the descriptions, but I found the flavors and spice level pretty spot on for some of the dishes I ordered.My coworkers really enjoyed their drinks, while I really enjoyed my Thai Tea that was served in a carafe. The Thai tea was not too sweet (best compliment ever, tbh) and had a strong Ceylon black tea taste, which I appreciate. I had the "Tum Marg Hoong" Papaya Salad and wow it was spicy! 10/10 would order again, as it was great to share with my immediate neighboring coworkers. We also tried the Khaw Kai noodles, fresh spring rolls, spicy eggplant, and spicy Thai basil chicken. Although I liked all of them, I'm partial to Chinese eggplant, so the spicy eggplant was a favorite and I'd reorder that one again. Our server was very attentive, and although my party over ordered (as expected since our eyes are larger than our stomachs!) the staff tried their best to help clear the plates or rearrange some of them.

I can't believe how lucky I was to stumble upon Lao Table--it was absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded expectations. The food was so fresh, and the presentation was stunning. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, and honestly, there's not a single thing I could complain about. Everything was just that good!We were celebrating a birthday, and to our surprise, the staff rang a bell, sang happy birthday, and even gifted us complimentary sticky rice. That thoughtful gesture made the experience so much more special.the ambience was so serene that I felt like I had been transported to another country. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and indulgence.I wouldn't even say I have a favorite dish because every bite was perfection. If you're looking for a place that delivers on taste, presentation, and unforgettable moments, Lao Table is it. Highly, highly recommend!
