About us

Sabaidee! Welcome to Sep Lai! We serve traditional Laotian food using many local ingredients to create unique and authentic dishes. As is the norm in Laos, all our dishes are made to be shared! Although you may find similarities with other Southeast Asian dishes such as Thai or Vietnamese dishes, Lao cuisine is a distinct cuisine with its own complex and exciting flavors. Full of fresh herbs, raw vegetables, flavorful meats and always accompanied by a basket of sticky rice, we are proud to share this cuisine with everyone, including vegans, vegetarians and those sensitive to gluten! We hope that the dishes of our parents and grandparents will inspire you with the same comfort and joy as they do us, and that you will exclaim: "Sep lai! It was delicious!"

Having tried Laotian food in Toronto, I was looking forward to this place. I didn't read the 3 star reviews which often are honest reviews before booking the reservation. My mistake. Only one server for the the whole place. some dishes came out tasting uncooked, not one dish wowed, had the $55/person tasting menu. Expensive for what you get.

Petite cours vraiment mignonne (une fois la cuisine traversée), mais j'ai été déçue des plats. Nous avons pris deux soupes & trois autres plats & j'ai trouvé qu'il manquait de profondeur & d'harmonie dans les saveurs, surtout dans les bouillons ! J'ajoute toutefois une étoile pour la crème brulée, car elle était vraiment bonne.
