My workplace is nearby and weve eaten from here a few times. We especially love the great lunch special deal! Today we ordered food for 1012 people and Vientiane was patience and accommodating with the order process, and the food as always was delicious!

What a wonderful place to eat. The menu was able to cater to an eclectic group of individuals with various dietary restrictions with ease. The staff was very friendly, too. We loved that they had games and puzzles for the kids to play while they waited for their food. A delicious way to spend our day.
