Price
The current official reservations and FAQ pages publish a tasting-menu price of $145 per person, with optional wine and nonalcoholic pairings and a 20% automatic gratuity. Older first-party pages still contain conflicting lower prices and booking-platform language.
Dietary
At least two days notice is required for restrictions. The current FAQ states that vegan, vegetarian, fish-free, coconut-free, capsaicin-free, and allium-free requests cannot be accommodated. The menu states that many dishes contain seafood, fermented fish, nuts, cilantro, and other ingredients even when not listed.
Access
Detailed physical-access route and restroom information were not stated in the reviewed first-party pages.
Parking / transit
The restaurant warns that neighborhood parking can be limited and recommends allowing an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Ride-share users should verify the current northwest Portland address.
Dress
No formal dress code was stated on the reviewed first-party pages.
Group
Intimate 24-seat tasting room best suited to small, fixed-size parties. Party-size changes can invalidate a reservation because of the tightly planned seating model. Seating evidence from the restaurant's own pages: The name Langbaan comes from the Thai word for the area in a Thai home where the kitchen and dining room are located, the area where meals are both prepared and lovingly eaten with family and friends.
Meal length
Plan for a fixed-seating multi-course experience rather than a flexible drop-in meal.
