    Chicken Drunken Noodles
    Gladys A.

    Stumbled upon Champa Thai on my lunch break while craving drunken noodles, and I'm so glad I did! They were delicious, flavorful, and the right amount of spicy. The place is small with limited seating. The server was nice. I'll be back to try more of the menu!

    I love this restaurant. The food has always been excellent and the prices are reasonable. 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.

    Mango Sticky Rice

    Mango sticky rice was a warm, sweet & creamy, a 10/10. I would definitely return for more in the near future. I recommend this for an exotic dessert.

    The mood for dinner was light and refreshing but filling and healing . I am happy to say Champa provided just that . This restaurant is small and cozy . As soon as you step inside the restaurant you are in the small dining room . We were greeted and sat . We choose a two top near the window . We were given lemon infused water for drinks and we started our dinner with the vegetable Naim Chow . They came out quickly and were fresh and crunchy. They came with a nice sauce to top off each bite with . I choose the small tom yum chicken soup for my main with a bowl of white rice . The rice was nice and fluffy . The soup was light and refreshing with mushroom , chicken and a citrus flavored broth. My friend chose a vegetable curry soup, she gave me a bite and I want to come back to have a whole bowl to myself . The flavors are bold but not overpowering. We kept looking around at everyone food and it all looked so good . I'll be back soon if not for the Naim Chow alone .

    Had a hankering for some Thai and heard about this location and decided to give it a go. Street parking available, small dining area with 7-8 tables to accommodate couples or a small group. Service was quick, ordered chicken satay, Thai iced coffee and the spicy chicken pad thai. The satay was fresh, seasoned well and delicious. The pad thai had a great mix of veggies and chicken, but a little less spicy than I would have liked. Overall a great experience with good service and great food! Will be back to try the curry soon!

    27. Pad See U
    Raymond C.

    A nice tucked away fusion restaurant with amazing flavors. If there's one thing I recommend it is definitely the Brussels sprouts. The crispy texture with jam packed Asian soy flavor easily makes it THE best sprouts I've had. While the chicken wings were crispy, I didn't find anything unique about it. Typical wings with a sweet and sour sauce. I wished they made a dish that fused the flavors from the Brussels sprouts onto the wings. The pad see U with beef was another good dish. Sweet flavor that's nicely stirred fried. However the beef was a little bland and not tender. Overall, I would come back again because the flavors were on point. During busy times, the wait times are going to be 20+ minutes long. This is especially with the limited seating and only one server.

    26. Drunken Noodles
    John M.

    this is a great location, kind of small inside the gentleman running the place was a little rude, but he seemed to be all by himself . once we got the table and got our menus and were able to order the food came quickly. The appetizers were great and the meals were quickly. Would recommend highly .

    khao soi
    Chloe H.

    Above average asian food for RI standards. Trust other reviews- and get the brussel sprouts, we were happy we did. The glass noodle and duck noodle were good. The khao soi was good but not as authentic and no pickled mustard greens. Only complaint- we went and they were very busy and it seemed like just one guy working - food took forever.

    SMALL BUT MIGHTY
    Rosanell J.

    Hidden gem. The food was deliciously authentic. THAI FOOD LIKE IVE NEVER HAD BEFORE. The vibe was quiet but nice, it's a small location with probably 5 tables, but it feels cozy and welcoming. There is only one server, please be gentle. Our food came out fast and it was fresh. The menu was quite extensive for a small place. Def coming back as much as I can.

    Thai iced tea
    Stephanie T.

    I was very excited to try Champa. Champa serves Lao cuisine or Laotian cuisine and is the national cuisine of Laos. It was my first time having Lao food. The menu has so many different choices for salads, soups, fried rice, noodles, stir-fry, curry, and specialities. There are Thai food and Laotian food. We started with Thai Iced tea. It wasn't too sweet and was really good. For appetizers, we had the Laotian Style Crispy Rolls (4) which was crispy rice paper filled with chicken and mixed vegetables, served with sweet & sour chili sauce. The rolls were very crispy and the roll filling was very full. For entree, I had the Lion City Noodles with beef. This is thin rice noodles stir-fried with Thai spicy sauce, seasoned with curry, carrots, peas, bean sprouts, and baby corn. This dish was delicious, but unfortunately, I did not get any baby corn. I really liked the thin rice noodles and the flavors. The beef was very tender. My husband had the Khao Soi. This is the famous Northern noodles in a delicious mix of light yellow curry, check, ground peanuts, scallions, and fried shallots. He really enjoyed the flavors of his dish and said it was probably the best curry he has ever had. The restaurant is small with a few tables, but it is homey. Service was wonderful and they were very friendly. We told Peter, the owner, that it was our first time having Lao food and he welcomed us. Dishes were very filling and large. We had leftovers for the next day. Price of our meal wasn't bad at all! There is a 3% fee for paying for credit card. Also, there are signs saying the restaurant is no longer BYOB.

    Great food and wonderful service. Owners were very friendly and helpful with Americans who had little experience in Laotian cooking.

My friend originally wanted the Green Curry Ramen, but it was out of stock, so they tried the Spicy Sesame Ramen instead. It was decent, though not particularly memorable. We also shared the cabbage salad, which was crisp and tangy--a definite highlight. If you're looking for ramen that's very traditional or bold in flavor, this might not fully hit the mark, but there are some tasty options to try. Service: Our waitress was friendly and polite, though we noticed she didn't check in as often as we might have hoped. We did have to go to the bar at one point to request the bill, but overall, she was pleasant. Ambiance: The restaurant is cozy and intimate. There's a sign and curtain near the entrance that says "wait to be seated," which was a little confusing at first, but a regular customer kindly guided us around it. Inside, the seating is a mix of a long bar and smaller two-tops along the walls, so it works best for smaller groups rather than large parties.

The broth was yummy and I enjoyed the three types of meat that topped the noodles. One note, my friend and I did pay extra for an egg, I believe almost two dollars. I just wish the egg had been marinated for a longer period, in terms of it being a ramen egg, it fell short. Overall, a good place for some cool bites and friendly staff too!

We were sadly in a rush and had to be out by a certain time to catch a show, and our server understood the assignment and got us out on the tight schedule we needed. I'm just sad I had to slurp down my soup so quickly as it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Snow Mountain Ramen - the creamy tofu broth is unlike anything I've had and was so so unique and delicious. I thought about it for at least a week straight after eating it and am still dying to go back to get more. I also got the Iced Rose Matcha drink - $10 felt too pricy for this but I wanted a fun drink and a little caffeine kick - and again the flavors were unique and tasty. Both my friend and I happened to see someone we knew here - it's definitely a popular spot! It was packed on a Saturday night but it was still pretty quick for us to get a table for 2. Being a downtown city restaurant, the tables feel a bit cramped and I was a little too close to the table next to me for comfort - claustrophobics beware (honestly the soup is worth it though!!) Parking is pretty easy in the lot, although Holy crap they need to fix the potholes / harsh drop-off where it meets the street, and it still was not fully plowed many weeks after the big snowstorm (it's a shared lot so not a Y Noodle specific issue, but just saying). The only thing that was unpleasant were the bathrooms - I get it was a busy weekend night, but they reeked of a litter box the second you stepped in, the floor was dirty and very wet with unknown substances, and the Dyson hand dryer is at such a weird, too high level on the wall that it sprayed water in my face. Everything else was a dream, can't wait to go back! Hopefully the bathrooms were just a fluke.
