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.

Cher payer pour si peu.
La serveuse n'a pas ouvert notre bouteille de vin, au prix que sont les repas c'est un service que m'attends.
Service ordinaire
Repas à partager.... nous avons prit les ailes de poulets, il en avait 3 à partager à 2 ?!?
Musique d'ambiance pas rapport.
Prix prétentieux pour la quantité.
Nourriture bonne & fraiche

Pour un souper improvisé, mon copain & moi avons super bien mangé à Sep Lai! Le service d'Elsa était impeccable � Nous nous sommes assis dans la section terrasse, qui était vraiment trop mignon! Nous allons y retourner avec des amis prochainement 💕 (Note: SVP mettre le khao piek au menu du resto 👀)

Notre restaurant préféré! Depuis plus d'un an & demi maintenant, nous allons près de deux fois par mois au Sep Lai. Nous y avons également apportez tous nos amis. Service, nourriture & ambiance incroyable! Par ailleurs, nous y sommes allé hier en soirée... Nous prenons toujours les mêmes assiettes, fidèle à nos habitudes nous avons prit la même chose. Lorsque les assiettes sont arrivées (surtout le Kua Mee), nous avons été terriblement déçus. Il n'y avait pas de sauce, un oeuf cuit dure, quelque carotte & du chou. Ensuite, (mon copain est végétarien) le Nem Khao était au porc & lorsque l'assiette est revenu au tofu suite à l'erreur, il restait des morceaux de porc dans l'assiette... & en finale, un court cheveux brun a été retrouvé dans la salade Laap. Définitivement, une drôle d'expérience à notre restaurant préféré!
