I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE GREEN BASIL!!! Everything from the service, the staff, the quality of food,…read moreand just overall the home/family feeling. We come here quite frequently, for date night, family dinners and celebrations. I think I tried pretty much everything under the sun. My TOP favorites are: the chicken wings with cucumber salad, and sticky rice. (Staple Lao meal!) the Chicken Noodle Soup (Kow piek sen) The Lad Narr and lastly, the Khao Soi! If you are a first timer I would recommend the Lad Narr it's similar to Pad se Ew but not as sweet and has a little more sauce to it. The chicken noodle soup is also a lao staple and at Green Basil- they make it THE BEST! The noodles are hand pressed/knead and sliced. It is so comforting like a hug in a bowl.

Heng Thai has great service and an amazing variety to choose from. Noodles, curries, sushi, soups and plenty of drinks they will not disappoint! I enjoyed a winter cocktail that packed a punch! Snacked on some garlic green beans which were fresh and cooked to perfection, very flavorful. I had the salmon curry which I could not get enough of! Amazing combination of flavors with fresh veggies and salmon prepared well! This is a smaller place that carries a quiet vibe to enjoy by yourself or with a group. Come satisfy your Thai cravings at Heng Thai! I will be back for more!!

We returned to Heng (basement) after about a year after going to a movie nearby on a very cold…read morewinter day. It was busy and noisy as usual with groups of young people. Our server, Jaokhun, was the most cheerful and bouncy and efficient person we have ever had! We ordered a large Mai Thai bowl to share - more than we would normally do. For food we had their signature roasted chicken dish with sticky rice and garlic string beans, which was excellent. Then we added another crispy chicken dish- overkill and took most of it home. It came to $60, to which we added a generous tip. We like the vibe here and resolved to return with a shorter absence.

The portion was generous, so we had some leftovers that we're saving for dinner later. The yellow chicken curry was the star of the meal. We've tried many yellow curries before, and this one really stood out--my husband kept saying how so, so good it was and even joked that he wants to learn how to make it himself. The papaya salad was fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and we will come back.

Have tried the pad Thai, tom young noodles and a few more things. All have been very fresh, good portions.

I love this restaurant. The food has always been excellent and the prices are reasonable…read more Five of us went for dinner recently and we got a few items to share, here are my impressions of the experience. - Spring rolls. Crispy and light. Small but packed with flavor, an order had 5 of them. It came with a dipping sauce. - Chicken wings. Not big but well done. They came with a sweet and sour sauce. An order had 6 of them. - Garlic green beans. Delicious. Lots of flavor and nice texture and bite. The favorite of the table that night. - Brussel sprouts. Not a large portion. Lightly fried. - Pad Thai with chicken. Light and well prepared, all sauces and flavors melded together nicely. - Fried rice with pork. Light and delicious. Good portion to share among all of us. The restaurant does not take reservations and because there are less than 10 tables in the entire place, sometimes wait times can be a bit long. Many people do take out or DoorDash. Still, it's worth it. Laotian / Thai food at its best in Providence.

From being on my "must visit" list, to eight months later, finally making my way into the…read morerestaurant. I had done some research and knew it was a small space so I was praying there would be enough open tables. When we talked in, there were about 3 tables open. It took a bit to get seated since the host/ server was busy getting together online orders and bringing out food to other customers. But after a couple minutes, we were allowed to pick our own table. They have 3 two person tables to the left, on an elevated platform. To the far front of the space, there were two booths which could easily fit 4 people each. To the right there were 3 tables for 4-5 people each. We went with the bigger table, but moved after a couple minutes to another table for a more private setting. For an appetizer, we put in an order of crab rangoons. As my entrée, I ordered the Khao Soi with seafood and my friend ordered the beef salad which comes with sticky rice. The crab rangoons came out after about 10 minutes. They looked crispy, and were wrapped in a cute, round way. The filling wasn't as creamy as I wish it would be, but it did taste a bit healthier than regular Chinese take out. The entress came out after about another 10 minutes. My Khao Soi came out with a big bowl, with some lime and peanuts on the side. I asked for more lime and cilantro on the side. The broth was a very vibrant color, creamy, sweet, a little tangy from the lime, and because of the cilantro had a fresh and clean flavor. I loved the combination of all the flavors, and it reminded me of a curry. The noodles were soft, but not falling apart and there was a good amount of it. There was plenty of seafood including calamari, shrimp, and mussels. The calamari was a little tough but the other items were good. I loved the crispy shallots on top as they provided an additional sweet but savory element. I finished the entire thing. My friend's salad was good. It was simple in that it was salads and herbs with minced meat but it tasted good. The sticky rice came in a ball wrapped in aluminum foil, and then put into their authentic little basket so it was full to pull apart. They do have a dessert menu and we were offered some, but I had no space. It seemed like the server was handling a lot at once so kudos to him and the small but mighty team in the back cooking everything up. I would be interested in trying other items on their menu.

Added some of the soy but could have been elevated with a little chicken stock. Service was excellent. I'll be back.
