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!"

Free street parking. Reservations accepted. Need to specify that you want a table in the back otherwise small groups are placed at the high top near the entrance. BYOB. Interesting menu. The tam mak hoong (papaya salad) was inedible. I love fish sauce, but the shrimp paste or padaek was too strong. I think the wait staff should warn customers in advance how fishy the dish tastes. I don't like wasting food, but it was a hard no from the both of us. The kua mee noodles & sai oua meatballs were delicious. The citronella pork (1st photo, not on online menu) was dry & stiff. The waitress was friendly, but not the most attentive. We had to ask the kitchen to refill our water. They were sweet & offered us free dessert though: pandan crème brulée.View more

Been here before & had a great meal, love that it's BYOB & well located by a metro, I think the menu was a little different than last time. Came here again & did not dissapoint. SERVICE The service was slightly lackluster when it came to the waitress or host (or she was both?) Wasn't super busy & there was 1 person. I don't love the waiters come every 2 seconds to ask if everything is okay but we weren't asked once & at some point I had to get up & wait at the entrance counter to get someone's attention to get a refill on water so service was a little meh for that this time around. One of the cooks was very sweet & friendly & helped me with refilling my water. Super cute atmosphere too, in an old house, feels quite intimate. We booked a communal table for 2 several days in advance & then when we got there were told it was full (a party), it ended up being fine as the counter had plenty of space. FOOD TAM MAK HOUNG we did not like & told the waitress found it to too fishy tasting, I believe it's due to the Padaek (fermented fish). We were told that's how it is. So be warned - wish the waitress would've advised us when taking down the order if it's more of an acquired taste. Like when you order something spicy & they warn you how spicy it is. I wouldn't get this again. We barely touched it. KUA MEE noodles look unassuming but very delicious. BOULETTES SAI OUA had plenty of flavor & was juicy, tender & vibrant. ROULEAU IMPÉRIAUX was good, very similar to Vietnamese ones. MUU HENG MAO okay, a bit on the dry side, though it does specify dried pork that's fried. Glad I tried it, wouldn't be a repeat for me personally. 4 dishes is enough for 2 people with medium appetite & medium stomachs. 5 if you want to be safe or have a little snack leftover after. We also got a little free dessert at the end, some sort of pandan flan which was delicious!View more

Excellent Laotian food! They have a good mix of plates to share & individual entrées, & Mains. The staff consistently have good recommendations. I was apprehensive about the laap but it was great. The soup is amazing. I highly recommend. It's BYOW & they'll bring out an ice bucket if you have white wine.View more

We had a fantastic dining experience & really enjoyed sitting in the shared room. It was cozy, not noisy, definitely worth making the reservation. We were 3 this time but when we come back, we're looking forward to the tasting menu that is meant for parties of 4+.
