Seriously the best restaurant we ate since we travel through SEA. We ate here 4 nights in a row as it was so delicious that we just didn't want to try something else. It's also cheap, so best value for money. Really. Try the spring rolls with vegetables! unfortunately no one explains how to eat it so this is how it goes: you get a plate with cutted fried spring rolls, noodles, spring onion and lemongrass PLUS a huge basket of fresh lettuce and herbs (mint, Thai basil, coriander). Now you wrap your own "roll in a roll". Take a lettuce leaf, put some noodle, spring roll, lots of herbs and whatever you like in the middle and wrap it. Dunk it into the dip with peanuts and ENJOY! So delicious!!! All the other dishes we had (Phad Thai, fresh spring rolls, Lao Salad) were amazing as well. The only dish we didn't like was "drunken noodle", but that's just about the dish, so not there fault.

i do not understand the reviews. very limited menu, no LPB classics i was expecting, more fried rice and spring rolls and stuff. my LPB salad with chicken was uncomfortably warm and watery. it was so unlike what i read in advance i thought i might have walked into the wrong place and should have tried next door. i suppose it is cheap and that's what people like. ETA: i am definitely rating phonheuang. i checked my photos and other diners' photos and there's no mistake. i ate there on november 14th 2023. this is the second time a laos restaurant has responded to an honest review claiming i had made a mistake and couldn't possibly be talking about their place-- we live in an age of everyone photographing everything and having receipts, this is not the way.

This place is a little out of the way, even if you're in the old town area. Nonetheless, making the journey here is worth it. The food is affordable and delicious. I had the crispy river weed (15k). There were quite a number of pieces. I felt that it was too salty on its own. It would be good if you have this with some rice or noodles. I also had the bo bun. This is a popular Vietnamese noodle dish. There are slices of boiled beef, and a spring roll with white noodles. Peanuts are drizzled on top of this dish. Eating this dish made me think about the time I was in Hanoi. Edit: I came by on a Sunday afternoon but they were closed.

A real gem off the beaten path. We had visited this eatery on Sunday, but they were closed. So when we moved to a hotel nearby, we decided to try again. And we were glad we did. The food is fresh and amazing. We had the fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, and the vegetables were fresh and good and went great with the peanut sauce. My bo bun noodles with chicken came with a deep fried spring roll, which was also tasty. My wife ordered the basil with pork rice. She said it looked good and tasted okay. The ladies running the store were kind enough to turn on two fans for us.

We had a really delicious meal here. The fresh spring rolls were the best I've had, and our mains of stir fried eggplant and a vegetarian penang curry were very good. These each came with rice and the portions were quite large - one dish each plus the starter filled us up. For two mains with rice, a starter and two large beers it was around 90,000 kip, so very good value. We ate here before going to the Lao storytelling theatre which is just next door.

WOOOOOOOOOW the Laos steak and spring rolls were fantastic. After lots of heavy rice and noodle dishes, it was so nice to have something so herb forward and delicious on a hot hot day. Highly recommend the Laos steak and fresh spring rolls. Bury me in the peanut sauce and chili. I will be returning for dinner and my last lunch in Luang Prabang to try more!
