Vientiane Grocery - Asian grocery store in Seattle - 3828 S Graham St Unit C, USA

Lao grocery and restaurant! Nice family running the establishment, visited a number of times and always felt welcomed! Today we order papaya salad, sausage and larb. Sausage. Good, definitely worth it but I prefer a little chunkier and less filling, however the flavor is good especially with sticky rice. Papaya salad with crab, I not sure if I like this method of preparation using dried chilies. I’m used to fresh chili and anchovies. Have not tried the larb enough to provide feedback.

Update: I ordered Red curry and a drink/snack. Red curry came with rice. Curry had good amount of vegetables ( egg plant, bamboo shoot, basil, red pepper), not skimpy at all. I was pretty impressed. Lao/ Thai grocery store with takeout food. They had many items on their menu. Price was reasonable and cheaper than restaurants. Food was good. I ordered Pad see ew with chicken and Green bean salad. Pad see ew had a lots of vegetables which I like. Green bean salad was a bit spicy ( medium) for me, I will order less spicy level next time. I would like to try different dishes! So excited to find this place. Parking available. There is a paved path to get this store. The door is not big, wheelchairs may be tight.

My partner loves to eat the balut from this grocery store, and often times we end up sitting down (3-4 tables) to order more from their menu. My favorites are the pork noodle bowl, papaya salad with pickled crab, and beef jerky with sticky rice. From the fridge we get pre packed larb (unless you can read Lao, check with the staff which meat it is), and from the freezer Esan sausage. Yum! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. They take catering/party tray orders too, as long as you order several days ahead, and pick up on time. Note: PAPAYA SALAD IS VERY SPICY!!! 1 star spicy here is equivalent to maybe a 3 star spicy out of 5 in other SE Asian restaurants. You can politely ask them to keep the chili on the side if you want to be cautious.

Missing the PNW post. This was my go to spot when I lived there. Everytime I'm in the area and I'm craving Lao food I stop by here for my fix! I hope they continue to thrive and serve great food and sell the ingredients for others to try to make it at home. My go to order is spicy Lao style papaya salad "thum ma hung" combo plate, sticky rice, lao sausage, and chicken wings and yes all by myself most of the time. #fatboyproblems

Best food we’ve had in the whole Seattle! No joke, the food was so good. I recommended everything there (lol). You can feel the warm vibe and care they put into the place, everyone was so nice and kind there. They’re family-owned too. Love it!

If you want a quick thai/loas food vientine grocery got it . Food are great and affordable they have premake ready or you could order to go. I pick me up some beef larb for lunch

Stopped in to grab some to go items for our trip home. All I can say is YUM! Authentic LAO FOOD. Lots of premade, frozen & ready to eat food in their coolers. Our food order was made quickly. Never had corn in Nam van before but it was also really good & a must try.

Went up in this spot on a fluke just to get some change and didn’t know it was a restaurant. I thought it was just a store ordered #28 it was fire 🔥 (not meaning hot & spicy, fire in urban slang for meaning very good 😊). I’ll be back it was so good flavorful and tasty. Can’t wait to try some of there other dishes plenty of parking friendly staff can’t believe I’ve been missing this spot around the corner all this time.
