Lonely Planet review for Vientiane Kitchen

Night after night, this open-air barn is alive with Isan (northeastern Thailand) music, dancing and the chatter of families sitting at low tables. But the vibe comes second to the authentic Isan specialities, like frog lâap (minced frog salad), kài yâang (grilled marinated chicken) and the ubiquitous sticky rice. Be sure to tip the band on your way out.

    Touristy and underwhelming

    diarmuidr does not recommend this,

    Recommended as some of the best Thai food in the city, we came away disappointed. Kitsch entertainment (pseudo sword fighting + Isan dancing and singing) to an audience of foreign tourists (many Asians, but few Thais it seemed) did not an entertaining evening make. Food was "ok" but nothing special for us. We had a far better experience at the food stalls of the Chiang Rai night market a week later - more authentic in every respect.
