Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went here for our last meal in Luang Prabang and only regret not finding it sooner. The food was flavorful and fresh and vegetarian friendly. Don’t miss out.

Amazing food at very affordable prices. It’s an unassuming spot from the street, but it’s comfortable and cozy once you sit down. It almost feels like you’re having a home-cooked meal in the best possible way

Wonderful people, great food and a quiet location one street off the Mekong river, this little place can easily be overlooked but shouldn’t be. We had a delicious tofu Laab and river weed as well as vegetables on rice. Certainly a place to revisit.

My favorite dish in Luang Prabang is the Bo Bun with Chicken. Not to be missed. The river weed crisps are a delight also. Wash it all down with a delicious mango shake! Such a lovely little outta the way cafe with lovely staff also

If you want a really well cooked local meal that is suitable for Western tastes, this is the place. I had the fresh egg rolls and they were absolutely perfect. It was six big egg rolls for $1.70. Add the ginger tea for $0.60.

We went for a few beers down by the river and then strolled up to phonheuang cafe. Traditional place to eat. Can't recommend enough. Staff greeted us with a smile, took our order, food was with us within 10 mins. The food is freshly made...and one of the best meals I have eaten in Luang Prabang. Highly recommend to anyone that want traditional Laos food in authentic surroundings.More

I eat here twice with two friends. The food is very fresh. The prices are very low. The restaurant is very popular. The nems and spring rolls are extremely good. That being said; the restaurant is fine for those not wishing to spend much money,...and for vegetarians. But for those who enjoy good food whilst on holiday, you can eat much more interesting food elsewhere in Luang Prabang.More

Hello Pandansari, It would be very unusual for any restaurant in Laos not to have pork on the menu.I did not recall so I checked their Facebook page and there is a photo that does show pork options. Cheers and happy travels
