Book NowAbout Lao Village
Fairfield locals treat this unpretentious dining room as their personal kitchen for punchy, unapologetic Lao comfort food. Patrons pack the tables for tender grilled ox tongue, crispy rice, and herbal pork sausages paired with baskets of sticky rice. The kitchen readily dials heat levels up or down, making room for both fiery raw beef larb and gentler family-style broths. Grab a bottle to BYO and settle in over plates of green papaya salad.
- Traditional Lao staples: Specialties like raw beef larb, balut, and grilled ox tongue stay true to home-style recipes.
- Group-friendly portions: Generous share plates and flexible heat levels make large family-style feasts easy to tailor.
- BYO-friendly dining: Guests can pair hearty grilled platters with outside drinks or house-stocked Beer Lao.

Before you head over
Practical advice on timing, ordering, and transit for your visit
Arrive early for peak dinner
Peak weekend dinner hours fill up quickly and wait times can happen, so arrive early or factor in a short queue.
Request custom spice levels
Dishes can be prepared with adjusted heat levels, making bold traditional plates approachable even for those sensitive to spice.
Plan for parking and transit
Free street parking is available but gets tight during busy hours; the venue is also just a short stroll from Fairfield train station.
