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!

    Amazing food and service, as usual! I’ll try something new someday, but for now, I’m stuck on the Pork Belly Soup and macaron dessert. As someone with food allergies, it’s so nice to be able to order a full meal of delicious and healthy food.

    Food is always fantastic. We had the crepe and the cashew chicken. Both were amazing. The crepe is not something you'll find in a lot of places and is highly recommended. Service was friendly and prompt from the time we walked in. It's pretty obvious why Bida Manda remains popular.

    Our server was excellent; making great recommendations and even gifting the table with an app for the table to try, keeping in mind our food allergies and preferences. Everyone raved about their personal dishes, including the pork belly soup, chicken curry, and a papaya salad with trout. Prices are fair and there is something on the menu for everyone, even if you think you’re not a fan of Asian food. Lovely atmosphere as well. Will definitely go again!

    Bida Manda has become one of our favorite spots to dine. Exemplary service and fresh high quality food. The Pad Thai and Salmon Ceviche are 2 of our favorites
