Bida Manda is a thoughtful gathering place celebrating the diverse food traditions and culture of Laos. The Sanskrit ceremonial term for father and mother, Bida Manda was created out of the deep love and appreciation of food and its power to bring people together.

Please be advised that we only seat complete parties. Reservations are highly recommended, however our bar seats are available at a first come first serve basis. Due to high volume, we have a 15 minute grace period, if you are running later than 15 minutes from your reservation time kindly give us a call and we will try our best to accomodate you.

Thank you so much for your continued support and we can’t wait to host you soon!

    The food and drinks were marginal. The only thing to write home about was the crispy rice lettuce wrap appetizer. If the food and drinks were more fairly priced I probably wouldn’t have thought anything about it, but for $27, I would’ve expected an entree salad to be amazing and for $16, I would’ve expected my cocktail to taste better than a vodka cran I would drink in college. Service was eh but that could’ve been an off night for our server. Disappointing!

    The food here is incredible. I had the Lettuce wraps and the Pork Belly Soup. I heard that was Billy Joel’s favorite when he comes to town :) My server was very helpful and gave suggestions on drinks and menu items. I met a friend for a catch-up lunch and we were given excellent service without feeling like the servers were intruding on our space. Well done!

    We were with a group of four and my meal came out a good 10 to 15 minutes after everyone else’s, with not so much as an apology. Otherwise, the appetizer we had (rice cakes of some sort) were absolutely outstanding and the meals were good.

    They have recently changed their lunch menu and are pushing more expensive items (e.g., recommending several appetizers). The food is still good, but some of the old lunch options are no longer available.
