The Providence location has a market as well with chips, sodas, spices, and frozen items for purchase. You can also buy fresh seafood like crabs or fish in the market. They have several menu items. I always get the half chicken with fries. It's topped with a delicious hot sauce, garlic, cilantro, and banana peppers. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. There is nothing like it around! The fries are seasoned perfectly. I tried the fried tilapia fish for the first time tonight and it was perfectly cooked and came with a white sauce, cabbage, cilantro, and banana peppers but the chicken is still my favorite. They did a great job on the renovation in Providence and the place looks brand new. You can tell the layout was thoughtfully designed. A great family fun restaurant. Love seeing the business grow!

Despite the seafood-focused name, this spot serves exceptional soufflé pancakes. Securing a brunch…read morereservation can take some effort and timing, but the generous portion sizes and food quality make the visit worthwhile. And OH MY FLUFFY - The soufflé pancakes are massive, fluffy, and a clear menu standout. While the crème brûlée soufflé pancakes are good, they lean a bit on the sweet side. Surprisingly, the savory breakfast plate with eggs and hashbrowns was my favorite. Pro tip - skip the cube toast and save room for the pancakes! The drinks are very instagrammable though the flavor profiles are relatively standard. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the outdoor seating setup adds a pleasant, relaxed vacation vibe to the brunch experience.

Puffcake by Capri was a mixed experience. The puffcakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, but the…read morereal star was the cube French toast especially the Nutella flavor. It blew the puffcakes out of the water. They should consider a name change! Unfortunately, the service didn't live up to the food. We waited 15 minutes for a server, another 20 for our lattes, and nearly an hour after ordering for our food. Our server even came over with the check because she thought we had already eaten and our table cleared but was shocked to learn our food hadn't even arrived yet. The outdoor seating could also use some updating, with awkwardly placed table legs that didn't lend to a four top and peeling tabletops. Overall, I'm glad I tried this viral spot, but I don't think the food was worth the long wait.

This was our first time at this restaurant based on a review by the Providence Journal's food…read morecritic. We had booked a table for two. The place was pretty full of dinners many of which were going to go some show in one of nearby theaters. The dining area divided into tables and the bar area is very well designed in a modernist vein. The formally dressed waiters reminded me of Paris restaurants. The one drawback for me was the noise which made me knock a star off the score. To have to shout at your dining companion is a downer. We went on to order the food. We started by ordering six excellent oysters to share. Then onto the main dishes. My wife had the crispy fish tacos where the fish was crispy and the tacos were not. The fish was delicious. I stuck with an appetizer: sesame tuna. It was served on a unique platter which had a burning hot metal plate on which to cook the tuna to taste. I enjoyed the presentation and the taste. I also asked for crispy fries which were done right (which most restaurants don't achieve) and were hot and delicious. This was accompanied by glasses of a white wine - Aragosta Vermentino - and a Laetitia Pinot. Although satiated we could not resist ordering a crème brûlée dessert (highly recommended by people at the next table) which was excellent.. We would recommend this place highly even though it is quite expensive - around $60-90 per head. Our server, John B, was the consummate professional who was attentive and knowledgeable. He is to be commended. A fine dining experience (except for the aforementioned noise factor) worth a visit.

Providence has its fair share of Asian markets, but let's face it, they usually have a similar…read morevariety of products. There will be kawaii asian snacks, specialty groceries, food mixes and the like. It's fun but begins to get old after a while. Lao Thai is noticeably smaller than other stores and is almost inconspicuous on Chalkstone Ave. It has the same stuff as other Asian places, but compensates for its small size with a tremendous amount of variety including brands and packages that aren't available at other places. I went in looking for Tom Yum soup mix and saw at least 4 varieties of it. Was also excited to see a pho mix. They also had single serve and large tubs of varieties of curry mixes, bbq sauce and the like. Although sparse, their snack section was also something to behold as I marveled at stuff like duck flavored and spicy seafood ramen, which I had never seen before. Also picked out some chili preserved mango. Checking out their exotic tea section is also an adventure. I'm surprised I haven't been to this place more because small as it may be, it has a ton of good stuff.

However, my husband is a huge nerd and anime happens to be one of his afflictions and there was a mural on the side of a wall that he wanted to take a picture at. After the photo, we noticed some fun Japanese items in the windows of the store by the mural, so we decided to just come on in and take a look. Wow! This shop was fantastic!!! I fell in love with Japanese stuff when I was a child and this place is a wonderland of food and items. I was actually kind of jealous because I haven't even been able to find some of the fun stuff that I wanted to try from social media in Las Vegas (and we have a lot of Japanese stores in Las Vegas). The shelves are lined quite nicely and the person working was pretty nice. Overall, I'd come in quite a bit if I lived in this neighborhood.
