About Us

For more than 20 years, Kataenoy Restaurant has been a family-run haven in Vientiane, bringing people together to enjoy fresh, honest, and flavorful Lao cuisine.

Kataenoy

Kataenoy Restaurant began as a small local kitchen, built on a simple belief: good food should make you feel at home. Today, we continue to prepare everything with the same care — using fresh ingredients, traditional recipes, and generous portions at fair prices. We’re proud that many of our customers have grown up eating here and continue to support our family through the years.

 

Where Our Name Comes From

Kataenoy began with my grandmother, who ran a small neighborhood kitchen serving simple, comforting Lao dishes. When my father took over, he continued her tradition of cooking with heart and treating every guest like family.

When I was born, he chose to rename the restaurant Kataenoy — a combination of my nickname Katae and the Lao word “noy,” meaning little.

 

You will always find

  • A friendly, welcoming atmosphere
  • Freshly made dishes cooked with heart
  • Fair prices and generous portions
  •  A mix of local favorites, snacks, drinks, and our special traditional hot pot
 

Thank you for being part of our story. We’re honored to serve our community and share the taste of authentic Lao hospitality every day.
