    Apsara will always be my go-to spot for authentic Cambodian food. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting from out of town. The food is consistently on point, and they offer a great selection of lunch and dinner specials at a reasonable price. The staff are always patient and friendly, which makes the experience even better. From the outside to the inside, the restaurant beautifully represents Cambodian culture with its paintings and statues , it truly feels like you've stepped into Southeast Asia. It's also BYOB, so you can bring your own drinks to enjoy with your meal. Overall, this small, family owned gem in Providence is definitely worth a visit.

    Literally, my favorite Cambodian restaurant. Their lunch specials are so good. You literally can't beat it. The portion is literally like two meals and it's 10 bucks literally cheaper than eating at home.

    Chicken Curry Soup Specialty

    Stopped in the other night. It was a Saturday and O was surprised we didn't have a wait. It was busy but they had a table for two. The first thing I noticed was the menu - so many choices! I started with the spicy wings Thai style. Very good! A bit of heat but the chunks of pineapple were a pleasant surprise. I then had the Chicken curry soup. It was very good with plenty of chicken and veggies. I really liked that it had green beans in it. Very hearty! The other thing I noticed was everything was reasonable priced. My friend and I had an app and entree each, with soft drinks and it was only $50. The service was good and we did not wait long for the food to arrive. The atmosphere was welcoming. It was a nice experience.

    Garlic green beans

    I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to Apsara! First off, parking is easy--there's a small lot behind the restaurant, and plenty of nearby street parking too. The decor is beautiful, detailed yet homey, and walking in, you immediately get the sense that you're in for authentic, home-cooked food. The menu is huge--it took us a while to go through it, but the servers were super helpful with recommendations. We ended up trying the crispy Thai garlic wings, Singaporean noodles, beef loc lac, and garlic string beans. The wings had great flavor (though I wish they were a bit crispier), and the Singaporean noodles were delicious with that nice curry flavor. My girlfriend loved the beef loc lac--the sauce and gravy were rich and flavorful. The garlic string beans threw me off at first since the sauce was more sweet than garlicky, but they were still tasty. Overall, I really enjoyed everything we had and would definitely come back. The menu is so extensive that you could eat here many times and still keep discovering new dishes. On top of that, the pricing is amazing--the value you get here is hard to beat. I'm already planning to come back often for casual meals when I'm craving authentic, home-style Asian food that's both delicious and affordable.

    Absolutely loved this place. Great, massive menu with plenty of options, nice atmosphere and stellar staff, very attentive, friendly and speedy... The food was excellent. Started with a hit and sour soup. Super taste and plenty of substance. Then the Singapore noodles, plentiful and super tasty. Couldn't finish it all, how plentiful it was. Definitely not my last time there!!

    Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice

    Apsara has long been one of my favorite Asian restaurants, and the fact that they open daily at 10AM makes it a great place to order take out lunch from on days when my lunch block at work falls early. We placed a large order from work this week and Apsara got everything right. Our order was also ready at the specified pick up time, which was awesome as well, given our tight lunch schedule. Some members of our group ordered lunch specials, which are priced around $10, give or take, and Apsara's servings fill the container. The fried rice was literally mounded in the take out container - it was a bigger quantity than I've seen in any other place. My colleague and I split the Pad THai with chicken, the Pineapple Fried Rice, and the Vegetable Nime Chow and it was all perfect. We ordered everything spicy, and Apsara is able to do a great job of keeping their food mild, but also flavorful. Love, love, love the Nime Chow - It's the best!!! We did take out, but the dining room at Apsara is very pleasant with a good number of seats, and every staff member I've encountered there has been pleasant and helpful. There is street parking easily available. Definitely check out this Providence gem!

    Not all Asian food is created equal, and this spot stands out with its Cambodian-influenced flavors. The dishes aren't overly spicy unless you want them to be, which makes it great for all palates. The takeout staff is sweet and attentive. The lo mein, made with crispy egg noodles, is a standout. The crab rangoons are delicious--crispy and full of flavor. Honestly, I'd feel confident trying anything on the menu. Parking is available in the rear lot or on the street. For your first visit, it's best to dine in and enjoy the food fresh--it really makes a difference.

    Large fried rice

    Came here with a group of 10 on a Thursday. Made reservations in advance and seated promptly. The biggest party they will do is 10 people. Important to know beforehand that this place is BYOB! The restaurant was super busy and service was definitely on the slower side. Thankfully we ordered things all at once and the food came out together and pretty quickly. It was hard to get glassware for our BYOB so we drank wine from the tea cups given to us. This is probably the best Asian food I've had in this area!! Everything we ordered was a 10/10 from the whole group. My dad loves pad Thai and he said this is probably the best one he has had in the state of Rhode Island! Will definitely get takeout or come with a small group to get this food again.

    Soup were fresh and shrimp rolls were good! Having the taste buds of a cambodian, taste authentic for sure! Parking can be challenging but will definitely be back if were close.

    Looking for Khmer food in Rhode Island? Ambiance is only missing Khmer music. This is a highly recommended place, great food with service speaking our native language. Looking for an amazing place for authentic khmer food; family style or friends? Welcome to Apsara, where ambiance makes you feel closer to home and service makes you feel welcome.

They made me khao soi with veggies and tofu. It was so so so good! I love that they package the soup with the noodles separately. I can't wait to come back to try the egg noodle soup!

I got my 'usual' order from when it was the prior ownership/management and have to say I was less than impressed. I ordered spring rolls which have a large portion size (6 large rolls) which are much larger than the prior owners but the taste is just mainly of cabbage and oil. Not much flavor and they seemed to be a little dense/soggy with oil. The crab rangoons were made with imitation crab meat and had curry, not really any crab flavor. They seemed to use a thin premade wrapper. I also got pad thai which was okay. It was a bit on the mushy side. Flavor was okay but it just didn't seem to have the same fresh, clean quality as prior recipe. Tasted similar to a lot of other thai restaurants, which may not be a bad thing I guess. Finally I ordered drunken noodles for lunch the next day. These did not come spicy at all but instead came with a chili sauce on the side. The noodles themselves were really thick and gummy and bunched up (kind of a squareish size) rather than long ribbons. There was just almost no flavor to this dish and the flavor was just fish sauce or something similar. No complexity or layers of flavor. Very one dimensional. Overall, for the higher price it was relatively disappointing.

    If you want Thai food, I would easily recommend this place…read more We sat down to eat once and ordered takeout once. Both in-person and to-go/takeout services were good: friendly and pleasant. Ordered the papaya salad, drunken noodles, pad thai, and thai tea (with jelly) for two people. Everything tasted really good. We got the papaya salad spicy, and it was appropriately spicy for a Thai restaurant! The thai tea was sweet (as this drink often is), but had that tinge of bitterness that I like from good thai teas. Everything tasted great: well-seasoned, not too sweet/salty/oily. I would recommend everything we ordered. We had some leftovers to take home. On our takeout order, we got the pad thai, pad see eiw, and Thai fried rice. Everything was packaged nicely and was still hot when we got home. I thought the quality of the pad thai was the same quality as when we sat down to eat. I also like the flavors of it and appreciate that they didn't have a side cup of fish sauce to add. Good! You're the chef, you tell me how it should taste and I can judge afterwards. My judgement: It's really yummy pad thai, probably my favorite. Parking is easy if it's not too crowded; there are spots immediately behind the restaurant. 4 stars because I am very happy to be a repeat customer. This might be an unfair opinion, but I wished the portion size was a bit bigger (although, I would not want the quality to go down as a result).

The scallion pancakes weee perfectly crispy and flaky, and were really quite good. The papaya salad also had all the fine flavors. Everyone also enjoyed the dumplings. I think the pineapple fried rice could have been more fragrant and I was disappointed that the yellow curry wasn't as sweet, or as fragrant as I'm used to, but it was still really good stuff. But I'm glad the curry came with rice and that we didn't have to place extra orders there. Overall I'm really glad we settled on this Thai place - it was really quite good and the prices were very reasonable. They also made it very easy for us to pay by keeping separate tabs for each family. And it was nice they have a private parking lot as well so you don't have to park your car in the street. I definitely recommend this place. The place is well decorated, clean, and has a good amount of tables for various customers.

We checked in with the host on the first floor, but she escorted us to the second floor to be seated. I always liked that this restaurant seems to be a small house converted into a restaurant since it literally makes me feel at [someone's] home. We were given QR codes to scan for the menu; not my favorite. I overheard another table ask for paper menus, so it appears there is that option. For a starter, we ordered handmade lamb dumplings and for entrees, original meefen and lamb on dry land with a side of white rice. It all ended up coming out around the same time and the tables are a little small so it felt like an overwhelming amount of food, but it was actually the perfect amount for two people. The lamb dumplings were flavorful, albeit, the wrappers were a tad too soft. The original meefen was very tasty, especially the minced meat. However, the uden noodles don't do a great job of absorbing sauces, so it felt like a lot of the oils and flavor were left behind. The lamb on dry land was good, but it was difficult to eat especially two people. We didn't realize it would be meat on a stick, similar to a turkey leg but less meaty. We ended up eating the easy parts, but took the bone home to finish out of the public eye. The crispy potatoes on top were my friend's favorite. The total was about $50 which was fair. Our waiter and other staff members did an excellent job of getting us all we needed and clearing plates as we finished. Their official website is one of the coolest I have seen since it includes audio and images, but I wish it had a description of what each item is, just like their in restaurant menu QR code.
