Lao-Lane Xang - Restaurant Laotien Paris
Lao Lane Xang 

Just a warning: the restaurant places a great importance in customers turnover.

To begin with, if you make a reservation, you'd better come with the exact number of people you have reserved for.

I don't know if the restaurant will be more accommodating in case of bigger number of people. But in case of less people, which is the case of my experience there, I can assure you, it means collective punishment.

Even if your companies are just late, the restaurant will not allow you to have your table and wait while sitting. Neither even while eating.

The best is that everybody comes on time. The worse is in case of late comers. No show ups is the worst. It results in the group having to give up the reserved table.

If you are determined, you join the long queue for those without reservations (while waiting for the late comers).

Finally, once you have your table, the service is rushed. They are not discreet in monitoring if and when you have done with each dish. This restaurant is obviously not for taking all your time to enjoy the experience.

You are there to empty the plate and get out. The faster you do it, the better!

But to be fair, I have to report that despite the strongly-non-customer-oriented, there has never been a lack of customers. The queue is long and perhaps that's why the customers are at the full mercy of the restaurant.

Just as they put it: "If you don't like, just leave. There are many waiting."
