cute silverware holder
Since Udon Thani is the biggest Thai city close to Vientiane, we find ourselves there pretty often. Sometimes we go to Udon for its airport and sometimes for it’s hospital. Whenever we’re there, we love to eat at Good Everything. It’s a cute little restaurant across the street from Nong Prajak Park where everything really is good (everything we’ve tried at least). The atmosphere is airy, fresh, quiet, and quaint. It reminds me of an old flower shop and it’s surrounded by a small, carefully maintained garden.
The menu includes both Thai and foreign dishes. It can be hard to find good western food in Southeast Asia. Sometimes it’s too bland, too ketchup-y, or not very healthy. I don’t know how, but Good Everything has figured out what western food should actually taste like!
The last time we ate there, I got the corn cream soup and a mango shake:
corn cream soup with garlic bread
Mango Shake - so pretty!
James ordered a Vietnamese style wrap set (sorry for the out of focus lettuce):
In the past we’ve had the salad nicoise, bread basket with spreads (one of our favorites), Thai latna, and many of the fruit drinks. All the fruit drinks are presently beautifully and made of real fruit. They also have a good selection of teas and desserts.

Yum! I’d love to eat there.
It is interesting how the mango is cut. Haitians do this the same way. Yet on the same island, I haven’t seen a Dominican eat a mango like this. Differences also exist in how pineapples are peeled and cut by Haitians and by Dominicans. It has to do with how you deal with the “eyes”. Interesting cultural traditions.
This looks and sounds like a restaurant I would love!! Enjoy!
