Update: I ordered Red curry and a drink/snack. Red curry came with rice. Curry had good amount of vegetables ( egg plant, bamboo shoot, basil, red pepper), not skimpy at all. I was pretty impressed.Lao/ Thai grocery store with takeout food.They had many items on their menu. Price was reasonable and cheaper than restaurants. Food was good. I ordered Pad see ew with chicken and Green bean salad. Pad see ew had a lots of vegetables which I like. Green bean salad was a bit spicy ( medium) for me, I will order less spicy level next time. I would like to try different dishes! So excited to find this place. Parking available. There is a paved path to get this store. The door is not big, wheelchairs may be tight.
Great place to get loa food. The cashier there was very nice and helpful they do catering also
Had a 4 hour layover at Seatac and stopped here for some food. Turned out to be amazing!!! Definitely worth leaving the airport. Please note that they dont have seating at the grocery store to eat the food. But definitely worth it!
Wonderful place nice and clean. Can order food and cook from the original chef from Laos too. The food was awesome and taste authentic.
While its technically a grocery store, go here for prepared food. The papaya salad is legit and for real spicy. You can get frozen sausage from the freezer section to take home and make yourself. Definitely will come back!
Only best Lao/Thai food + grocery store I know of & been to so far during my 5yr stay in WA, Especially when missing homemade style cooking!
My partner loves to eat the balut from this grocery store, and often times we end up sitting down (3-4 tables) to order more from their menu. My favorites are the pork noodle bowl, papaya salad with pickled crab, and beef jerky with sticky rice. From the fridge we get pre packed larb (unless you can read Lao, check with the staff which meat it is), and from the freezer Esan sausage. Yum! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. They take catering/party tray orders too, as long as you order several days ahead, and pick up on time.Note: PAPAYA SALAD IS VERY SPICY!!!1 star spicy here is equivalent to maybe a 3 star spicy out of 5 in other SE Asian restaurants. You can politely ask them to keep the chili on the side if you want to be cautious.
Just delicious! Great sausage and jerky!
Missing the PNW post. This was my go to spot when I lived there. Everytime Im in the area and Im craving Lao food I stop by here for my fix! I hope they continue to thrive and serve great food and sell the ingredients for others to try to make it at home. My go to order is spicy Lao style papaya salad thum ma hung combo plate, sticky rice, lao sausage, and chicken wings and yes all by myself most of the time. #fatboyproblems
Ive lived around lao people most of my life in texas. This place is the best and closest thing to home cooked laos food Ive had since living in the area. I recommend it
I love this place and the move was good for them. Such nice folks with the freshest street Thai food in the city. But they don’t mess with spice so order a 1 or 2 on the spice. This come from someone who surly orders a 3 or four. 🥬🥒🍛🍚🧆
Really good food with tons to choose from on menu 😋👍
The best food available
Small grocery and deli that serves up lao and Thai dishes. Kway chup was awesome and my usual. Plenty of options to go.
Very nice and clean. Very friendly, delicious food. Love this place!!!🙏❤
Hole in the wall & Delicious! Looks rundown, but food is very good! I usually would get the stuff tapioca balls & Nam-kow to go. I always buy their homemade Lao sausage & Marinated dried beef in the freezer section, for sale. The workers are always very nice to me.
Best and Most authentic regional Thai food I know of in Seattle. I always keep a stock of their home made spicy sausage (sai ua) in my freezer.Their prepared dishes are a slightly better value than other Thai restaurants, and their catering portions are rediculously good value.
Brought my family here to introduce them to Lao cuisine. The people were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the portions were huge. Will definitely be coming back. For those who are afraid that they would not know what to order, dont worry they have pictures on the window and the cashier will make recommendations.
I went to Abdul Ghafoors and hands down he has the BEST fried chicken up north. I dont get there very often because I live down south but, when I do get the chance, thats one of my go to places! If I could give more than 5 stars I would without any hesitation! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Good food. When we travel we always seek out Asian stores and restaurants to our accustomed ways. This is a nice little store that sells items that is needed for cooking Thai/Loas style and a small kitchen that cooks up deliciously authentic Thai/Laos dishes. They cater too
Some wonderfully specific food.
Papaya salad & short ribs were amazing
Great variety of selections of food here. Of many come here to order food for party or dine in. Some selections arent that great. But others selections are pretty darn good. raw beef lab, nam kao, crab papaya, kapoon are just the few selections i like most
Excellent Lao food. Quick service and reasonably priced. You can also do your grocery shopping in the same place.
A good place to buy food
The store hours are clearly stated, but when I arrived at 4:30pm on a Saturday, its closed. I was hoping to try their papaya salad that I heard my friends said that it tasted great. *Disappointed on a clear, blue sky day* UPDATE 05/2019: So this place finally opens and it turns out to be a restaurant/grocery store. There seems to be a full kitchen in the back to order Laotian food. Im here for the crab papaya salad...at last. at long last since a year ago!! Upping the star rating to 3.
Great Loas/Thai Isan Market. We love the mini restaurant here.The food is always delicious! Also they have a Great Selection of Medicine and region-specific grocery items.
Authentic Thai/Issan food. Even the look of the wall menu is authentic. Prices are decent for Thai food this good. The grocery store is small but has some hard to find items.
I really like this place, food is always freshly made, i fell very welcomed because the guy at the register remembers me.
I have no complaints about Vientiane Grocer. Whenever Im looking for Lao ingredients or even when Im craving authentic Lao Jao, which they make all the favorites, or Gang Nor Mai stew, made two different ways, I know the food will be made right and is always delicious.
Laos-Isaan Thai market. Homemade foods. In store restaurant.
Best for authentic lao food. I always make a stop here everytime Im in Seattle. Ive never been disappointed. The owners are really nice and they always make your food fresh on the spot.
Best Thai/Lao food Ive ever eaten!
Really cool place really friendly staff Ill be back
Order pho and beef salad taste ok, the kitchen lady keeps on staring customers trying to get food in the fridge. She afraid customers try to open her food.
Great variety of selections of food here.
