How to experience it
Wikivoyage places this stall at the corner of Inthasome and Sisavangvong Road, in front of the tourist information centre gate at the southwest end of the night market, and says it serves Luang Prabang-style khao soi for about 35,000 kip. It opens around 17:00.
A Commons photo shows Lao-style khao soi served with vegetables and seasonings on the side. The dish in Luang Prabang is a noodle soup, and meat is usually part of the sauce, so a vegetarian should ask whether a meat-free version exists rather than assume.
Go early in the evening before the stalls fill. Standing orders and seating are informal, so ask a staff member to point you to a table.
