For a while I thought I knew how to discern really great Thai food. For a while I did at least I thought I did, that was until I tried Vientiane Palace! This place is so good and just seems so authentic.
If you are looking for a fancy place with great decor and lots of personality then this is not the place for you. If you are instead looking for great food and an at home feel then I encourage you to try this place. Currently my favorite thing to get here is the squash curry. You can get this as spicy as you want; I also opt for spicier. It is served with as much rice as you can eat and is served by the nicest server you can ask for.
The have a very vast menu. I have also gotten their duck which is out of this world. The man usually opts for some type of noodle dish. We always start with the larb; beef or pork. The larb is a ground pork or beef served with Thai spices and eaten with lettuce leaves This is so good that we've actually tried our hand at making it at home, not nearly as delicious.
I love this place and always look forward to going back whenever we can.
