Vientiane - West Sacramento

The service automatically added an 18% tip charge without informing us, which was separate from the tip we planned to leave. Additionally, the parking spaces are quite small.

The food at this restaurant is quite good, but it comes with a hefty price tag. What really shocked me, however, was when I received my bill for over $150 and was charged an additional $4.50 for using their credit card machine. Most businesses typically cover this fee from Visa or Mastercard, but this restaurant does not. I want to raise a flag about this policy; it's frustrating that they won't absorb this cost as a business expense. As a result, I won't be dining here again.

Delicious food and great service. Finding Vientiane on the way home from Tahoe was a treat. We ordered a tofu pad se ew and their sampler tower. Everything was absolutely delicious. The only mistake we made was asking for their medium spice level. I guess we have very different definitions of medium .? I will definitely stop by again when in the area.

Pros: Ambience of the restaurant was nice. Restaurant is clean. We ordered the Vientiane food tower and it was delicious. Cons: We got there and no one was there. Not even the workers. We stood around for a good 5-10 minutes until we decided to yell in the kitchen “Hello” before someone came out to sit us. Then another party arrived after us and they were sat at the table right away. They gave them waters and they took their order first. We were shocked that they ignored us. This kind of upset me but I wanted to give them a chance. Overall: Food was good but service is questionable. Might eat there again, but probably won’t tip them well since they serve people out of order. Side note: we are Asians and the ones that were served first are white.

I love Vientiane. Started eating here 6 years ago when I moved here. However, everything there has almost doubled in price. They used to be my everyday spot for lunch back when they had lunch specials for $7/8/9. Now everything is just as pricey as anywhere else, so I've kinda stopped going. I guess good for them if the price increases bring more money in, but it definitely meant for me that I stopped eating there mostly. No hate, just the reality for me. Seeing such drastic price increases and going from an affordable option for eating out to pricey makes it hard for me to frequent now. They used to be one of the few places with reasonably priced food. Not anymore. Oh well
