They’ve been quite good for the past 10 years. And aside from the northeastern music, with the occasional American or Japanese song thrown in, there are also Thai dancers.
In addition to the food, they have a lively show every night consisting of a northeastern Thai band with a very talented lead singer. Vientiane Kitchen is one of the exceptions: the food is quite good nearly all of the time. We have often been disappointed by restaurants that the popular English guidebooks recommend – often the food disappoints.
We plan on returning occasionally even now that she is retired. Before she retired, it was the “go-to” restaurant for the farewell feasts for Kasma’s small-group-trips to Thailand: we went for the food and for the entertainment.
Vientiane Kitchen is a popular Laotian restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 36 in Bangkok.
