However, the Pad Kra pao - every single piece was extremely chewy, and it was NOT Pad Kra Pao. I'd estimate 75% ended up in the folded napkin, chewed with decent flavor but unconsumed. Don't feel like this place is run by a 'Thai' or anyone with extensive experience in Thai cooking....almost as if Frank & Estelle relocated to Nice from the south side of New Jersey and opened a Thai restaurant for something to do. Won't return, but wish them good luck going forward.

The service was awful; it was as if the waitress had a personal vendetta against me. She begrudgingly took my order and took 20 mins just to give me wine and water. The food (I ordered the beef pho special) can adequately be summed up with a "meh." There was too much noodle and not enough soup, which was lukewarm at best. The small patio ambiance also sucked big time. Twice one of the waiters lit his cig, trailing disgusting smoke on my food before stepping out.

The husband has always spoken to me in French. Even if the restaurant is empty when you walk in, it doesn't mean the restaurant doesn't have reservations for later. Restaurants in Nice usually just do one seating per table. I always get the Crab Salad and Bo Bun. The Crab in the salad is REAL and not imitation. The dressing is a refreshing lemon dressing. I've had Pho here as well. I'm a regular here. I'm Japanese American and the owners are NOT racist.

What a pleasant surprise! We found authentic Vietnamese food in Nice. Everything we ordered was…read morefull of flavor; my favorite was the roast pork. The bánh xèo wasn't crispy, but considering we're in France, where the dish shares some roots with the crêpe, it might be a cultural twist. If you do order it, just ask for it crispy and it should be spot on. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any dish here. The service was excellent, and the owner, originally from the mountain city of Da Lat, brings a warm touch to the place. The ambience even reminded me of a small Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas. Cheers!

The service was very friendly, relatively quick, and reasonably priced. We each ordered a different variation of the Bo Bun, which was delicious. I loved the sliced up egg roll mixed in with the rest of the veggies and noodles. Large fans made the dining area comfortable as well as a large opening to the street. It was extremely hot outside but felt comfortable during dinner. Their drinks were ice cold which is a huge positive in Europe. Overall, we'd definitely come back.

This review is strictly based upon our dining experiences (6 of us) at Lao Vientiane Restaurant…read more First of all...the name is deceiving to advertised as a Laotian restaurant. It IS NOT! It's a Vietnamese / something else and definitely NOT Lao or Thai. I asked our kind server if this was a Lao restaurant (hence the restaurant name) she looked at me like I was crazy for asking such question. Then she replied (No...its Vietnamese) The restaurant is very very very very small...if one blink, one will missed the restaurant. They have a total of 10 tables (2 people per table) and A server (ONE-server-probably the owner's daughter) was working the entire 10 tables. We were so hungry after traveling from Florence,Italy to Nice France on such a long drive. One would think the food would be outstanding considering how hungry we were. Oh la la...I have never had such awful Asian food in my life. The papaya salad had no flavor (it lacked all the ingredients of a tradition Lao or Thai papaya salad) the beef satay is beyond salty, the lemon grass beef smells like it was spoiled, the chicken curry is horrific and the pad Thai was made with fat noodle instead of the regular pho noodle. Speaking of pho, one of us ordered pho and she couldn't even stomach it. The flavor for all of our items were off and could NOT stomach the food. I am so sorry to give such a review...when it comes to food, we have high expectations and standards. we eat out around the would and love Asian food. What we had tonight was anything but. We will NOT be coming back to this restaurant.
