About

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!"

Review Summary

Sep Lai is widely appreciated as a cozy, welcoming gem in the neighborhood, celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Laotian cuisine. Many guests enjoy the intimate atmosphere and the beautiful backyard terrace, which provides a perfect setting for sharing a variety of fresh, well-presented dishes. The tasting menu is frequently highlighted as a fantastic way to explore the diverse textures and bold, aromatic spices of the food, with popular items including the Khao Poon soup, crispy Nem Khao, and the pandan crème brûlée. While experiences with service speeds and dish seasoning can vary, many diners value the thoughtful, friendly staff and the convenience of the bring-your-own-wine policy, making it a popular destination for casual gatherings and group events.

Please stop telling people how great this restaurant is - we won't be able to get a last minute reservation in the charming garden for some of the best food I've eaten in months!

Très agréablement surprise ! Ça faisait longtemps que je n'ai pas découvert un restaurant aussi bien. Le service est très agréable & chaleureux à la hauteur de la magnifique petite terrasse. On a pu prendre le Menu dégustation & goûter plusieurs plats à la carte, un délice ! Tout est excellent !! & vous pouvez apportez votre vin

Food was okay ! Not enough authentic flavor. Overprice for the food & the quantity.

This became one of my favourite restaurants last night. The tasting menu was fantastic. The staff was really nice, accommodating us with vegetarian options, & explaining the menu thoroughly. It's a beautifully decorated place where you can bring a big party, yet it felt intimate & private.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a real gem! Food was insanely delicious. Everything, & I mean everything, we tried was amazing. Service was friendly & helpful. BYOB as well! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Don't get the Thai tea. It's just mainly condensed milk & it doesn't taste Thai tea. I'm not certain the tasting menu for 47$ each is worth it. We were 4 & the portion does't seem right. I feel like ordering individual dishes might be better. Really cute place, good service. Food is ok, worth to try, but needs work.
