Lao Table

Opens Monday at 11:00 AM

Transbay, San Francisco

"You just wouldn't expect this place in the middle of all these office buildings... vibrant uplighting, flowers with your entrée, cocktails in woven baskets" (Check, Please! Bay Area)
"don't skip the watermelon salad — now on my must-have list"
Try the Tom Yum Beer, brewed specially for the restaurant

Step through an unassuming office building facade into a jungle of palm fronds, temple bells, and cocktails woven into baskets. Chef Lalita's Laotian and Northeastern Thai dishes arrive as edible art: whole fish on banana leaves, papaya salad with watermelon, and Lao sausage with chiles. The Friday all-day happy hour keeps $7 cocktails flowing for groups who gather around shareable Tod Tod platters.
