Doi Ka Noi
Welcome to Doi Ka Noi, a unique restaurant in Vientiane, Laos, with the focus on fresh, seasonal, and foraged ingredients.
At Doi Ka Noi, chef-owner, Noi, offers a small weekly changing menu of just nine or ten dishes. Recipes used were inherited from her grandmother, or in the case of less well-known regional dishes, collected during food-focused travels in rural Laos in an effort to document and safeguard the country’s disappearing culinary heritage.
Noi asserts that the best Lao food is found in home kitchens. Doi Ka Noi is just that – a home kitchen, but one that opened its doors so that others could enjoy her food.
Restaurant HOURS: FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY
11 A.M. – 9 P.M.
last table 8 p.m.
Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment.
Please note, Doi Ka Noi does not accommodate special dietary requirements or vegans.

Noi’s Book
A CHILD OF THE RICE FIELDS: RECIPES FROM NOI’S LAO KITCHEN
Noi is delighted to announce the publication of her first book, A Child of the Rice Fields: Recipes from Noi’s Lao Kitchen. It stands as the most important and comprehensive book on Lao cuisine – a treasure trove of flavours that remain little known, even within Southeast Asia.

OUR SAUCES
Doi Ka Noi produces a small range of jaew, a family of dips, sauces and pastes used in Laos to enliven foods, often with an assertive punch of chilli heat.
Made with the best ingredients bought direct from local farmers, and organic whenever possible, our handmade sauces allow you to experience a true taste of Laos. Doi Ka Noi’s jaew are handmade in small batches and do not contain MSG, artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives.
