Lunch with Lao family!

Feb 2020 • none

American expat with Lao wife and family for lunch. Shared fresh spring rolls and beef with herbs & vegetables and I had bo bun, nice bowl of rice noodles, beef, onion, lemon and herbs Vietnamese style. Served fast and four ate for $16US. Recommend highly!

Value. Local. Real.

Feb 2020 • solo

If you want a really well cooked local meal that is suitable for Western tastes, this is the place. I had the fresh egg rolls and they were absolutely perfect. It was six big egg rolls for $1.70. Add the ginger tea for $0.60.

A great place to get plenty, delicious, super fresh and cheap food

Jan 2020 • none

In a remote little street on the backside of the main road, you'll find this place always fully packed of customers. It's a well known place for amazing spring roll plates with a lot of fresh salad and herbs that allow you to make yourself your home made spring roll. If you choose the Bo-Bun it's also a very nice option to have your apetite fully satisfied with yummy food. Quick service so you can wait for a table to sit. Friendly service.

Tou can do better elsewhere

Jan 2020 • none

I eat here twice with two friends. The food is very fresh. The prices are very low. The restaurant is very popular. The nems and spring rolls are extremely good. That being said; the restaurant is fine for those not wishing to spend much money, and for vegetarians. But for those who enjoy good food whilst on holiday, you can eat much more interesting food elsewhere in Luang Prabang.

My favorite dish in Luang Prabang

Feb 2020 • friends

My favorite dish in Luang Prabang is the Bo Bun with Chicken. Not to be missed. The river weed crisps are a delight also. Wash it all down with a delicious mango shake! Such a lovely little outta the way cafe with lovely staff also

Modest but lovely and wonderful food

Mar 2020 • none

Wonderful people, great food and a quiet location one street off the Mekong river, this little place can easily be overlooked but shouldn’t be. We had a delicious tofu Laab and river weed as well as vegetables on rice. Certainly a place to revisit.

Lovely evening

Feb 2020 • couples

We went for a few beers down by the river and then strolled up to phonheuang cafe. Traditional place to eat. Can't recommend enough. Staff greeted us with a smile, took our order, food was with us within 10 mins. The food is freshly made and one of the best meals I have eaten in Luang Prabang. Highly recommend to anyone that want traditional Laos food in authentic surroundings.

Still THE spot for good affordable meals in Luang Prabang!

Jan 2024 • family

After nearly six years, we made a return visit to Luang Prabang and were very happy to find that Phonheuang Cafe was still operating. Same great food and good value. Everything was just as good as we remembered and we enjoyed eating there twice during our visit. Four of us ate for around 200,000 kip, including noodles, spring rolls, and beer.

Must try!

Amazing food at very affordable prices. It’s an unassuming spot from the street, but it’s comfortable and cozy once you sit down. It almost feels like you’re having a home-cooked meal in the best possible way

Only our personal opinion

Jan 2020 • couples

Understand every patron is different but all we can say is that when we are on holiday we don’t mind what we spend. Looked at the reviews for this place all we can say food was mediocre atmosphere horrific, people whispering because it was so quiet, dirty bins full of rubbish and empty bottles under tables and the place full of mosquitos. Can’t say anymore couldn’t wait to pay the bill and get out. You can tell a lot by the management of a place. Behind the bar was a disgrace and the bathroom say no more.

Our favorite place in LP

Dec 2019 • none

We went here 3 times in 3 days and loved every meal. The food is very cheap especially given the prime location. The service was fast and the food came out quick even when the place was packed. The spring rolls, both fresh and fried, were great.

good but not great

Jan 2020 • none

Fresh spring rolls were very good. The Thai basil with chicken(krapaw guy), not so much. Lots of oil and salty. I read a lot of good reviews. Was expecting more, I guess. Very fast friendly service and very inexpensive.

Very good, small restaurant. Authentic, inexpensive and fresh food. Best vegetarian spring roll ever. Went back the next day. Owner speaks English. Highly recommended if you like Laotian food.

We went here for our last meal in Luang Prabang and only regret not finding it sooner. The food was flavorful and fresh and vegetarian friendly. Don’t miss out.
