Solid Asian food, including some unusual and very welcome options in a somewhat touristy area. Had the "crispy rolls" to start, very well done and not too greasy Thai style spring rolls served with a sweet and sour sauce. 5 out of 5. I had the Khao Soi, a northern Thai curry noodle soup , served with thin strips of white meat chicken. Excellent. Plentiful amount of chicken, good ratio of broth to noodles, just the right serving portion. My wife had the drunken noodles, which she enjoyed but I think the noodles were a tiny bit overdone and it lacked a bit of heat that is usually in drunken noodles, but that's a small complaint. I'm soldering if they might have extra chilis , prik nam pla or some other hot sauce to add if we had requested it? We sat on the outside deck, very pleasant and service was attentive and prompt. BYOB if you want an alcoholic addition to the water and other non-alcoholic beverage options available. This is not a biased review , I'm a tough grader and call it like I see it. It's not the best pan-Asian food I've ever had but it's a solid 4 out of 5 overall and for the price, in downtown Newport, this is a very good option. read more

Best asian restaurant on the island, love the beef lemongrass on the pineapple fried rice

Stopped in here on a cold night looking for a warm bowl of sustenance. I will readily admit, that I was looking for curry and went into a ramen spot (shame on me), but the moose name, the lodgey feel, and the Asian cuisine was a mixture I had to see for myself. The chicken satay was excellent. Very juicy and flavorful. If the same chicken was in my ramen, I probably would give this place a five star review. The curry ramen was filled with a spicy flavorful broth and a healthy serving of accoutrements but the chicken was very dry. Given that was my only complaint and the woman who served me was extremely gracious, mountain moose earns my recommendation. Note, if you're looking for massamam curry, just go to a Thai restaurant. read more

I ordered takeout here after a Christmas party across the street and it was pretty good. Not the best Thai in the world, but certainly not the worst. The pad Thai was good, the wings were good, and the rolls were all good. The chicken in the pad Thai was a bit weird so I ate around it but other than that it was a good experience. read more

Ordered take out. The online ordering was very well organized and easy. Food was ready right on time. The food was excellent! We tried 3 things... The chicken satay with peanut sauce was excellent...generously sized chicken skewers with very tasty slight sweet peanut sauce. The Crab Rangoon was also excellent. My friend is more of fan of these than I am and didn't plan on eating more than one, but these were so flavorful and crispy...maybe the best crab Rangoon I've had. The Vietnamese Boon with beef lemongrass was great! I loved that the beef was cut into small pieces/shreds. The beef had so much flavor there was almost no need to add the sweet/sour sauce to the noodles. The sweet/sour sauce was excellent too. I would have liked a bit more cilantro on the boon, but that 's my personal preference. I can't comment on the decor/ambiance because my friend went in to get the take out order. The street it is located on is very small/narrow so I had to stay in the car in case I needed to move it (since I was blocking the street). The pick up was so quick I didn't need to move the car. read more

Food and service was so good! I love pho back in Jersey, so happy to have one in Rhode Island

Delicious meal, incredible service! In Newport, you have no shortage of pretentious high end eateries. Mountain Moose is the perfect remedy!! Incredible noodle and rice bowls, the best Crab Rangoon, spectacular dumplings - all with the friendly comforts of a local eatery run by very earnest hard working people. They deserve your business - it's delicious you won't regret it!! read more

We went here for evening take out. Food was good and portions/prices were more than fair. The prevailing memory though was how friendly and helpful the young lady who took our order was. Even though we were "just ordering take out" she was helpful with the menu and suggestions and treated us more like friends than customers. Service was quick. I liked that a lot. Recommended for all the positivity and smiles. read more

Fantastic food. The pad Thai and ramen were amazing. Friendly and responsive service. Nice outdoor deck seating. Highly recommend!

I like this place. A little overpriced but certainly not by Newport standards. Asian food is legit though. I had the bulgoki bowl and it was very good. Service is quick and the place is friendly. In Newport it is one of the finer food establishments I've been to and that's the overall experience. You won't be disappointed here. read more

I'm new to Newport and have been going out to eat a lot since moving here and I haven't had to spare any expense. Of all the places I've been to, this is the place I keep coming back to several times a week. I'm not eating anything I haven't had before, but I'm enjoying each dish so much. I've also been here enough times to realize what a comfortable place this is for myself and apparently everybody else I see in the place. My compliments to the staff, they're so friendly and the service is everything you could ask for. I thank them all very much. read more

Everything was delicious! Beef ramen, bibimbop, Korean chicken wings - all finger-licking good. Mango sticky rice and sesame balls for dessert - can't go wrong with that. Highly recommend! read more

This place was so unexpectedly good! We went in and the staff was really helpful and the restaurant was very clean and organized. Based on the menu and moose mascot we weren't too sure at first, but this place is amazing!! We ordered the house Moose soup, which has a curry base, beef, edamame, corn mushroom, boiled egg, and crisp dumplings. Best soup we've had in a while. Well balanced flavors. We also ordered the sesame balls which were fresh and crispy with a great sesame flavor. Lastly, we ordered crab rangoons which were the freshest and most well seasoned we've ever had. Great spot if you're ever in Newport! read more

Our first time to Mountain Moose, and honestly, I would say this is a hidden gem! Aside from the incredibly sweet server who was more than accommodating to my allergies, The food was great. The thai iced tea was great, I had two myself and my boyfriend drank the entirety of his, the crispy spring rolls were fresh and a perfect appetizer before our main course designing our own ramen bowls. We both tried the Rice Vermicelli noodles with the Pho broth, and added on hard boiled eggs, edamame, braised beef and lime. Overall the flavors worked well together. We will definitely be back for the comforting vibes and delicious food! read more

Mountain Moose - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

My wife and I were visiting Newport and looking for a place that had decent vegetarian options and we found this place. It was awesome! They have quite an extensive menu and were very accommodating for our needs. The food was bursting with flavor. My wife had the Pad Thai and I had the Yaki Soba. We were able to get both with tofu. The prices were reasonable and the portions were awesome! Service was great too! The place has a nice relaxing atmosphere and the owners were super nice too! We really enjoyed stopping here. If we lived here this would be a regular spot! read more

We stopped here on a whim and were so happy with our experience! I love the self-serve method here, we ordered at the counter and helped ourselves to condiments and water. I loved that they had gluten free options marked because that's not always common with asian cuisine. The hostess was super kind and prices were reasonable for both ramen bowls and drinks. The restaurant was very clean and quiet! Our dishes were delicious and felt like a warm hug on a cold day. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience at Mountain Moose in Newport, Rhode Island. The food was excellent--everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The service was just as great. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this place if you're in Newport. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I got the pho and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was flavorful, the ingredients were fresh, and everything was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be coming back again and will be recommending this place to my friends and family. So worth it! read more

This place is really good with even better service! We ordered the braised beef and Dan/Dan, and it tasted really good. I highly recommend this place when in Newport! read more

Delicious ramen soup and dumplings, very friendly service, perfect lunch on today's rainy day!

Food was great! We had the ramen and chicken wings--both were delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the location was perfect--just a short walk to the pier with beautiful scenery. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered pho (they made it with chicken for us) drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice. One dish was better than the other. Great little place with great food and service. They actually appreciated us as customers. We came up to Newport for a quick winter getaway. This was the perfect end to a perfect day. read more

We were walking along trying to decide what to eat, when we found this little place with a soft opening in progress. QR codes and pictures were outside the restaurant deck area, where there is space for tables, if the weather was warm. We decided to give it a try. The place looked great inside. When you walk in, there is immediately a drink cooler, and the menu board is on the wall, where you order, and your meal is brought to the table. The entrance area was pretty tight, especially if there are more than 2-4 people coming in at the same time. I'm sure management will figure that out. We ordered pad Thai and Dan Dan noodles. We both enjoyed our meals. They came out within a reasonable time, and were piping hot. While waiting for our noodle bowls to cool, we enjoyed a sample of complimentary rangoons. Delicious! The dining room isn't super large, but a decent size to accommodate a reasonable crowd. You will bus your own table when finished, and there is a station with utensils, sauces, cups, takeout containers, and even a dispenser of cold lemon water. The prices were very reasonable, we thought, for noodles. We would definitely consider coming back the next time we are in Newport! read more

I don't usually go to the same restaurant twice in one trip--but I made an exception for Mountain Moose... and it was 100% worth it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting--perfectly fitting for Newport but with a unique charm that really sets it apart. The food? Absolutely outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell there's real attention to detail in both the ingredients and presentation. It's the kind of menu where you want to come back just to try everything. What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience--not rushed, not forced, just natural and welcoming. The fact that we came back a second day says it all. If you're in Newport and looking for a place that delivers on both food and experience, Mountain Moose is an absolute must. Can't wait to come back again! read more

If you are considering this place.. just go! My wife and I were seafooded out after a week in Newport and this place was amazing. Very clean, great service. Rangoons were a solid 8.5/10 and my chicken pad Thai was a 11/10. Went with 3/5 spice and it was perfect. You won't regret going here. read more

Have now ordered takeout twice both times amazing! Highly recommend if your in the area and need a great rice and chicken bowl. Will definitely be coming back. read more

This restaurant is fantastic. It's tiny but setup really well. The food is excellent. Every single person in our group of 5 got a different dish and loved everything. The pad Thai is one of the best around. The pork bao bun is incredible. read more

Mountain Moose Review, Newport, RI 4/2/2025, guy and girl get take out: Guy: It's a sunny, cold day in Newport, RI. Me and my partner got takeout from here, and I brought it back to her work to be eaten there with her. I got Orange Chicken, which was very good! Deep fried, large pieces of chicken, in white rice with house sauce and some vegetables. Very good! My partner chose Pad Thai, no protein, Spice Level 2. This small spice addition happened to be far too much for her, and we called back and they very generously replaced her meal, no extra cost. We apologized and they did, too, adding that we could ask for the chili powder on the side next time, which we certainly will do. I like the food here, and their attitude makes me very much want to choose and support them! PS, I spent 2 months in Bangkok during college, and I can attest that the Pineapple Fried Rice with Bok Choy TRANSPORTED me back there. It is literally the closest thing since the year 2000 when I returned, that I have eaten in America. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. Girl: As a plant-based eater, I was blown away by the pineapple fried rice. It was LOADED with a delightful mix of super fresh veggies. It was bursting with flavor and wellbeing. I never walk away from Thai food disappointed, but this meal healed me on some levels. It was that good. This is a meal I will dream about until I order it again. read more

If you are looking for excellent noodles and Asian street food, you need look no further. Mountain Moose comes off as a "higher end" takeout restaurant, where there is plenty of seating, but you order at the counter and grab your own drinks from the cooler and utensils/napkins from the station. The food comes out quick, hot and delicious. No frills but great food- try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious pho and crispy duck noodles!!!! I stopped in multiple times throughout a chilly winter week and all I can say is I loved everything about this business!! Prime location on Thames Street with excellent food to match!! A modern and quaint interior! All I can say is the duck noodles blew me away!! The food comes out quickly after being ordered and offered a unique and very crispy yet succulent duck coated in a delicious thick sugary hoisin sauce!! Equally as yummy with a surprisingly deceptive kick was the pho! Warning add chilis at your own peril because the spice level will increase substantially quickly! The broth with the jalapeño seed carries plenty of heat on its own! Very friendly owners and service well worth supporting this awesome spot!! read more

As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted by the staff, they gave us menus and told us to sit and come back to the front to order. We ordered our food in a pretty seating area. There was a great mural on the wall and it was very clean! Ordered some food, and 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to give it a try! Great portions! read more

Mountain Moose - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

I heard about this spot from a friend. My boyfriend and I went as we have been awaiting the opening for a while. The food options are amazing. Ramen, rice, noodle dishes, make your own bowls, bao buns, rangoons. They have everything. We tried the crispy rolls, kung pao chicken and drunken noodles. The kung pao is nice and crispy with incredible spicy flavor. The presentation was beautiful too. The drunken noodles were sweet and flavorful I was blown away. The woman at the front was super friendly, she let us try their crab rangoons (to die for) and she walked us through the menu. She was super kind and genuinely seemed proud and that she loved the restaurant. It was awesome, 10/10 will return again. read more

This was my best food experience in Newport in a while. We ordered the food to go and the packaging of the food was the best I have seen. Everything was vented so it wouldn't get soggy. The taste of the food was amazing. We ordered bao buns, king pao chicken and drunken noodles and a couple apps. All the dishes were great and had the exact level of spice requested. I can't wait to go back! The inside of the restaurant looked fun and inviting and the service was friendly. Thai or Chinese food this is my new go to! read more

Pho and Spicy Pad Thai were amazing. Can't wait to go back. Loved what they did with the inside too!

I dream about their pad thai AND spicy pad thai. My coworkers and I were in newport for a few months for work, this place was recommended by someone else we work with as they had just opened this location. We were hooked instantly, we ended up ordering from here at least twice a week, the service is incredible, they remembered everyone's names and what our usual order was. I cannot say enough good about this place! I hope it sticks around for a long time. read more

It is quite a coincidence that the only 2 of these are in two of the locations we happen to go to just about every year (Newport and North Conway). And the first one we went to was the one in North Conway last year (and nothing to rave about). I have a wanna be asian food fan, so we end up trying asian places here and there. The one in the North Conway I think we would have given 2/3 stars as being an average place, 3 out of 4 of my family would not have bothered to return for a second meal. The one in Newport my daughter ordered online takeout from (glad I decided to refrain). One of the dishes came back so spicy neither girls would eat it, after clearly ordering non-spicy ($16 in the trash). I think there are better restaurants for asian food in Newport for the price, I'd go to them (I went to Thai on Thames and Tokyo House last year and really enjoyed them). This is more like an overpriced fast food asian place. I don't tend to be critical, but when you are on vacation looking for things to go right, it is no fun to have them go wrong, or be disappointing. And worse when you have a screw up that costs you more time and money trying to make up for it after, thank god we brought food for the fridge in our condo or we would have been scrambling. Can't recommend from my experiences, and I'm an easy/sympathetic mark usually. read more
