Our name means “little by little,” and for us it captures the feeling of stretching one drink into three hours, ordering one more snack, and staying longer than planned.We’re a family story at heart: built from the crew behind Pho Dau Bo and Mot To, and shaped by Hannah’s memories of growing up around broth, schoolwork, and the rhythm of feeding the city. A trip back to Vietnam sparked Lai Rai, and we bring that energy home through phở, street snacks, cà phê sữa đá, dine-in, takeout, and online ordering in Calgary.","urls":{"menu":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/hs5qz73PdACe","about":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/hs5qz73PdACe/about","reservations":null,"website":"https://lairai.ca/","knowledge":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/hs5qz73PdACe/knowledge.json","llms_txt":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/hs5qz73PdACe/llms.txt"},"cuisines":["vietnamese","pho","street food","coffee","drinks"],"priceLevel":null,"location":{"address":"201 10 Ave SE #110, Calgary, AB T2G 2G5, Canada","city":"Calgary","country":"Canada","geo":null},"contact":{"phone":null,"whatsapp":null,"website":"https://lairai.ca/"},"hours":{"mon":"closed","tue":{"open":"11:00","close":"20:00"},"wed":{"open":"11:00","close":"20:00"},"thu":{"open":"11:00","close":"20:00"},"fri":{"open":"11:00","close":"21:00"},"sat":{"open":"11:00","close":"21:00"},"sun":"closed"},"rating":{"average":4.3,"count":133,"source":"google"},"menu":{"url":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/hs5qz73PdACe","currency":"CAD","categories":[{"name":"Small Plates","items":[{"name":"Goi Cuon | Fresh Salad Rolls (2)","description":"Choice of Shrimp // Tofu, served with spicy peanut sauce.","priceCents":1000,"currency":"CAD","vegan":false,"available":true,"ingredients":["rice paper","shrimp","tofu","rice vermicelli","lettuce","mint","basil","bean sprout","peanut sauce"],"imageUrl":null},{"name":"Cha Gio | Crispy Spring Rolls (2)","description":"Choice of Pork // Veg, served with chili fish sauce.","priceCents":800,"currency":"CAD","vegan":false,"available":true,"ingredients":["rice paper","pork","carrot","cabbage","glass noodle","mushroom","fish sauce","chili"],"imageUrl":null},{"name":"Banh Khot | Crispy Prawn Cakes (5)","description":"Crispy turmeric cakes filled with prawns, coconut milk, green onions.
