Bida Manda Laotian Restaurant and Bar

Everything was so good. Love the lettuce wraps for appetizers . They are so good. I got the duck larb which was fabulous, the duck had so much flavor!

The saffron crepe with shrimp & bacon is outstanding! This place gets 5 stars in every category from service to atmosphere to the quality & taste of the food. Don't forget to try dessert !

If your waiter introduces himself as "Harry", thank your luck stars. He has complete knowledge of the menu and made the perfect recommendation, Crispy Pork Belly Soup . Simply outstanding.

Beyond amazing. I recommend any of the larb dishes or the papaya salad with lemongrass chicken or fish . The pork belly soup was delicious and out of this world, but nothing compared to the other dishs

Everything is great here. Wait can be long but just eat at the bar , they have the full menu anyway and you'll get drink service faster. The curry is delicious and so is the catfish . Get the Thai toddy

The seafood curry was absolutely awesome! So was the crispy pork belly soup , the salmon .... so many good things! If I had to pick one - get the seafood curry if it's on the specials!

The food is spectacular. Seems very authentic and crafted with care. Every bite was delicious! The lettuce wraps were my favorite - different from any I've had before but so good!!

It's the kind of restaurant where I keep a lifetime memory of these perfectly balance flavors. The service is impeccable. Just get in and the smell will make you stay. Try Anaheim Pepper !

Spring rolls , tuna ceviche for apps; pork belly soup will change your world, and don't leave w/out tempura bananas - even if you think you don't like dessert . But really, it's all delicious.

The crispy pork belly soup lives up to the hype. The broth is seriously delicious. Also, try the Panang crab cakes .

The pork belly soup and filet with the green papaya salads are my two favorites main dishes. Appetizers not to miss: lettuce wraps . Favorite dessert : dessert trio

Larb was delicious - just the right amount of food. Don't skimp on dessert either, purple rice was rich and delicious!

Friend and I got the fresh spring rolls , Tom Ka Gai, papay salad with filet and the fish on special stuffed with some yummy deliciousness!

Amazing alternately deep, warm spices, and refreshing bright flavors. Great curries , cocktails , atmosphere.

The food was good and the service was top notch. Our server knew the entire menu and offered excellent suggestions. It's just overpriced. I have had better Thai food for less money.

Wow! The food was like having a culinary nirvana in your mouth, lol! Equally notable, was the exceptional service . Definitely recommend this restaurant !

Everything is great. Clean eating, perfectly seasoned. Great atmosphere and service was stellar!

Amazing food and service for our party of 15 tonight. They went over and above to help celebrate a friends birthday. Will definitely return!

The papaya salad was hands-down one of the most flavorful dishes I've ever had. The filet mignon topper is definitely a worthwhile splurge.

Papaya salad with the duck and the ribs were all fantastic!

Decently sized servings for a celebratory lunch . Make a reservation ahead of time.

Everything is so good here. If it is a special occasion let them know and you will not be disappointed.
