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!"

The food looked really good & was beautifully presented, but unfortunately it was lacking flavour. We tried several dishes & they were all quite bland, with very little spice or seasoning. The service was friendly & the atmosphere was nice, but I wouldn't come back for the food. Hopefully they can improve the flavours because the presentation was promising.

I hosted my birthday here & it was amazing. From the quick response time since it was a large group that required coordination & they were beyond helpful the entire time with all of my questions. Everyone has stayed raving about all of the food in the tasting menu of really getting to experience it all.
