It is one of the few places I will actually willingly call to place a take out order. Everyone who works here is so friendly. I always opt for take out and the food travels well. They have a small area for dining in and it is always packed! I have never had anything bad here, I recommend anything and everything. I have tried tons of the seafood and veggie appetizers, basically all of the noodles, curries, and mixed veggie dishes. Recently I was sick and decided I needed spicy soup! 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 enjoyed my takeout with my Yelp chopsticks too!

Stopped by for some appetizers and dessert with my partner. We got the calamari, angel wings, and…read moreshrimp things. The calamari was our favorite and the sauces were really good.

We got the Mango Red Curry (red curry paste, coconut milk, red and green bell pepper, mango) with vegetables (zucchini, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, string bean) and lunch special Green Curry (green curry paste, coconut milk, eggplant, red and green bell pepper, bamboo, and basil ) with tofu. Both were savory and creamy deliciousness, green was sweeter than red. Tbh the mango was intriguing but unnecessary. The rice was well-cooked. I also always get Thai Iced Tea, which was classic here with good amount of tea flavor and sweetness (although we did wish there was less ice). The ambiance is casual: lots of seating and bright light. Service was fast and friendly. If you pay with cash, the final bill is a little lower (~$1.50). There's street parking around. 9/10 would recommend!

Let me start with: my kid has a peanut allergy. We didn't…read moreorder anything that had peanuts, but they made sure nothing did. The simple sushi (spicy salmon roll and mango roll) were, as stated, simple. But they were very pleasant. The Holy Basil Chicken was very tasty. On medium heat we had to add extra chili sauce, but was very flavorful. I was most impressed with the Tuna Pizza "maki". That term is used in a rather loose sense, but in a good way. It was basically rice flattened into a disc, fried into mochi texture then cut into triangular slices that were each topped with spicy tuna and sauce with a thin slice of jalapeño. It was glory in every bite! I can't describe how much I liked this. The combination of flavors and textures. Recommend

I hate the new placemat style laminated menu... the print is small, it's hard to read, and not every dish lists a price or what comes with. The service is spotty. There was one server and one person handling takeaway orders. There were few occupied tables when we arrived yet our server was distracted. We had to ask for a pot of tea twice. We ordered vegetable pad thai and were brought chicken pad thai. Granted, we were offered the opportunity to take the chicken pad thai home at no charge, which we accepted. We did not receive fortune cookies at the end of our meal. I still think their wonton soup is the best in town. We ordered the small ($3.50) with extra veggies, which was delicious. The Chinese egg rolls were meh; nothing special. And the pad thai, both the chicken and vegetable, were adequate. Unfortunately, their bathroom could use a thorough cleaning. Yuck. The total cost for 2 soups, 2 egg rolls (1 order) and one pad thai was $25.15, so the price point is reasonable. There is a 3% upcharge for using a credit card. In the future, I believe I would only visit Apsara for takeaway.

I ordered General Tso's ($13) for pickup and the portion size was big. The quality of the chicken…read morewas decent, there weren't too many bites that were chewy. The amount of sauce was okay.

Like really good, so good, I guess the yelpers are right, I should have never doubted the opinion of the many. The Lao sausage is not very salty, it has a slight hint of sweet, and it's perfectly seasoned. Each bite is as good as the first. It's delicious with or without rice. Definitely a dish we'll be ordering next time we go to Pho Zap Zap!

Always been a fan of Phô but had only tried one restaurant here in PVD. At the recommendation of…read moresome friends, I had Pho Zap Zap's Seafood Phô to go and my partner had the beef Phô. Though the meal was incredibly delicious and the ingredients seemed rather fresh, I was a bit disappointed by the small amount of seafood that was on the soup. Perhaps the small size was because it was regular later than large, but I still expected a bit more. Other than that, the service was great and the owners were efficient but equally polite. Will come back for a seat down dinner sometime to try the larger portion. Of note: they only have seafood or beef options, so they don't have a vegetarian or vegan option on the menu!

We ordered an appetizer of scallion pancakes- delicious - string beans in oyster sauce - also tasty - and a good chicken noodle dish. We could not eat it all as the helpings were very generous and took something of each back home. As usually, we brought our own drinks which made for a very reasonably priced meal. It came to $40 - cheap if one considers that it would do for yet another meal. Our server was efficient and pleasant. We like the pleasant Cambodian decor. We will return which we do periodically.

The dining room can accommodate larger parties. It's nicely decorated and comfortable, but tends to be a bit chilly in winter so ask for a refill of the complementary tea. We like most of the menu, but our particular favorites are the hot & sour soup (so nice and spicy!), coconut chicken appetizer, satay noodles (again, can be spicy), and the Cambodian noodles dry (served in a delicious sauce, don't worry). Other items frequently in rotation for us are the fried lort, general tsao's tofu, numya curry, and tom yum soup (tofu, chicken, beef or just veggies can be added). Service is friendly and quick - either eating here or getting take out.

Hidden in a very very small strip mall is this amazing restaurant. Of all the places I've been, I…read morewould've never thought to find one of the best Thai restaurants to be in Providence Rhode Island. Yet, here we are. This cozy restaurant really delivers some authentic Thai magic. Chicken Satay - Best chicken satay I've had ever. The chicken appears to be marinated because there's flavor throughout the entire piece of meat. Appetizer comes with 4x large pieces. Nothing small about them and the accompanying peanut sauce and pickled vegetables are on point. Meat is "moist" and "tender". Yes... those quotes were necessary. Thai Iced Tea - The drink is a regular order for me at a lot of Thai restaurants. To my surprise, I really enjoyed this one the most because it was not atypically as overly sweet as other restaurants I've been too. Green Curry with Seafood - All ingredients in this dish were on point and fresh. Nothing tasted frozen or out of a can. Seafood was not over cooked and everything tasted clean. Flavors and quantity were all present. The curry had spice and did not disappoint. Kra Pow with Minced Chicken - Again, all the added veggies were fresh and not overly cooked. Vegetables really spoke for themselves. Flavor in the kra pow were solid and had a reasonable level of heat/spice, but not overwhelming. Again, very good portions. Overall, this place was amazing. I was a bit thrown off when they didn't ask how spicy our party wanted our food as with most other Thai restaurants we've been to, but they hit it out of the park. In my honest opinion, it's not the typical American levels of spice, so be forewarned. The level is probably a bit more on the mild side of Thai level heat. Service is very friendly here and prompt. I have to say whoever the cook, grandma, or magic elf they have hidden away in the kitchen... don't ever let them go.

The place was surprisingly not busy so we were seated right away. The waitress was super attentive and patient with us. Many of their beverages are served with and without liquor so ensure when ordering you specify which is your preference. The place can hold a decent amount of people but for a Saturday night, other than our party, there was 2 other couples and a family there. The menu can definitely be overwhelming with all the various options. We ordered the crispy pork pik pow and crispy pad thai with crispy chicken for our food. We also had the spicy pineapple margarita and lychee mojito with liquor. Over all the lychee mojito was our favorite. Both entrees were delicious, crunchy, and hot upon arrival. If ordering the crispy pad thai, I'd recommend to not get it with the crispy chicken. It felt like I was eating potato chips and I had wayyyy too much crunch. The taste of all the dishes though were delicious and I would definitely recommend stopping by this spot. We will be back to try the other dishes available!

The side items, which are a la carte, that we decided to order were the bok choy, watercress, oyster mushroom, mushroom fish ball, pork belly. There are a good selection of a la carte items, and everything came fresh and prepared beautifully. The service was fast and friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I am looking forward to coming back and trying their other options!

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.
