Right in the heart of downtown Raleigh, Bida Manda is a thoughtful and sharp gathering place celebrating the diverse food and culture of Laos. Bida Manda is one of the very first Laotian restaurants in the US. Sanskrit for father and mother, we name the restaurant Bida Manda as our way of honoring our parents in Laos who taught us everything we know about food, hospitality, and the power it has in bringing people together. Our parents' recipes are the inspiration for our menu. Every dish on our menu is exactly what we grew up eating. They are the kind of dishes you might find on the street corners of Luang Prabang and at a Laotian home. Come in and go away with us on sensational culinary journey to Laos. ------ Whether it is a birthday dinner for 10 guests or a corporate event for 100+, we will work with you to craft your memorable dining experience. Please contact Vansana Nolintha at [email protected] for more information.

Amazing food! There is nothing on the menu that I didnâ€™t like. I came here for a staff dinner and were all got to try a little bit of everything - and everything was DELICIOUS. Waitress was fantastic and very helpful on any food allergies at the table. Iâ€™ll definitely be back!

Seriously, the food, the service is amazing! I've been here only twice but that's because I don't live in Raleigh. This place has one of the best Asian dishes I have ever tasted and the atmosphere is very romantic. I recommend getting the crispy pork belly soup. It soothes me soul.

Incredible experience beginning to end. Each course was beautifully crafted and very hard to share with my wife. Ross is at least half the reason we loved this spot so much, helping us through the menu and making us feel very welcomed. Itâ€™s easy to see why the crispy pork belly soup is a third of the sales made as each bite made me more and more open to the idea of finding a studio apartment in downtown Raleigh. We will definitely be back here whenever in Raleigh and are absolutely obsessed with Bida Manda!!!

Mai, I would imagine they wouldn't mind if you brought your own birthday cake, but I would confirm that with the restaurant. Happy Birthday!

There is some parking on the street near the restaurant, but your best bet would be a parking garage. Wilmington street Station parking garage is about a block north and usually has spots available.

An incredible Laotian restaurant with delicious cocktails
