Japanese Restaurants in Vientiane


Vientiane has quite an important Japanese community with many NGO’s and private companies operating here. There is also an ever increasing number of visitors from the land of the rising sun. Despite this, you’ll find only a handful of Japanese restaurants in Vientiane, but all of them have their special charm.

Don’t expect to find the Sushi Bar type of Japanese restaurant here. There are also none of the “show” restaurants like you often find them in Western cities where you sit around a hot plate and a Samurai like cook fiddles around with big knives. But what you’ll find here is the real Japanese cuisine, a little bit like “at home” and from the fact that Vientiane’s Japanese restaurants are very popular with Japanese people you can guess that the food served there is genuine.


Osaka Hac Chao Japanese Restaurant

Nokeokumane Rd.
Tel:

If you look for this small Japanese restaurant, don't search a sign with it's name, as there isn't any yet! The owner has just recently found a name...  But the food served here is very nice and genuine, well worth to go and look for this nameless place.


Fujiwara Japanese Restaurant

Luangpabang Rd. / Sihom
Tel:
The Fujiwara is certainly Vientiane's first Japanese restaurant. Elegant interior, genuine food. Not cheap.

Koto Restaurant

Nongbone Rd.
Tel. (021) 412 649
Koto is Vientiane's best known Japanese restaurant. Situated on the road from Dongpalane to That Luang and thus close to the Japanese Embassy, this rather elegantly, but all Japanese styled place is well worth a try.

Yulala Café

Heng Boun Rd.
Tel. (021) 215 214
Yulala (lao for "nothing to do") is a tiny piece of Japan in the heart of downtown Vientiane. Take off your shoes and sit on the elevated wooden floor. Aya and Saya, the Japanese owner couple will serve genuine Japanese goodies, just the kind of food that you would get if you'd be invited to a Japanese home. There are only a few, but always freshly prepared items on the menu and the prices are more than reasonable.

Kitchen Tokyo

Chao Anou

Another very small restaurant with "at home" like kitchen.
