Lac Thai Restaurant

Lac Thai restaurant

I am not much of a Thai food fan, but my friends took me to an amazing Thai restaurant which is in a small alley in Saigon. The restaurant is not big but it is very nicely decorated. We sat on the top floor which meant I had to force my lazy feet up to the third floor on a small metal staircase. It was a big surprise, a small area with low tables and so laid back like Japanese style.

I am not a fish fan either but I did love their cat fish salad, the fried shrimp patties also. The dish I can't forget is the Thai style soup with beancurd. It was simple and delicious. The pineapple fried rice was impressive looking, served nicely in a pineapple.

Lac Thai is not a really pricey place. It deserves its small following and perhaps the owner needs to spend some income on advertising to attract more customers. Highly recommended.

The food looks good. I went to a similar Thai restaurant in Saigon a couple of years back. The roof shape was triangular as the one in your pictures. Hmmm...Maybe it is the same place?????

I've never been to a Thai restaurant, but the pictures of the food look very delicious to me and I think I would like it.

Hi all, Thai food is really good and quite popular in Viet Nam especially in Sai Gon. Fried rice in pine apple is really good and I only eat rice, not pine apple skin :)
