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!

    Great service. We went for lunch in the last hour. Cocktails were refreshing. Had hoped to try some of their main dishes but they operate on a limited menu for lunch. We will be back for dinner to try the full menu. We had the pork belly and curry soup which were fresh and flavorful. Give this place a try but recommend dinner for your first time.

    What a fabulous experience. We've dined there several times and had out-of-town guests with us! They couldn't stop raving about the meal, the service, the wait-staff and the ambiance. We were very happy to "show off" your restaurant! Thank you for an enjoyable evening! Susan McGuire

    Spring rolls were burnt. Pad thai was so so. Not worth what they charge.

    It's fine. Not how it was back in the day (6+ years ago). The level of service just isn't there anymore. People are polite, but if you need anything, expect a solid 5-10 minute wait for a fork or a lime.
