Nam Khong - Khao Soi with chicken - Laotian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

The food was really good. The service was excellent. There is only indoor seating and not a very lot of it. It wasn't packed while I was there but there was some pick up orders. I enjoyed everything I tried. There were some cute decorations. It was a good experience and I would go back for some of that delicious food! read more

Went around 6 PM on a Tuesday -- super empty, which made it a very chill experience. Plenty of parking in the plaza, and the vibe inside seemed fine from what I could tell. I ordered takeout, and the food was ready within 20 minutes. The woman who handed me the food was really nice and welcoming. Great service all around. Here's what we ordered: crab rangoons, vegetable summer rolls, chicken satay, beef drunken noodles, duck pad Thai, duck lion city noodles, and a Thai tea. The crab rangoons were definitely the highlight of the meal. These were genuinely great -- crispy, creamy, flavorful, and just really satisfying. My family loved them, and I would go back just for these alone. I'm guessing they're even better fresh out of the kitchen. The vegetable summer rolls were okay. Fresh and decent, but I wish they came with more dipping sauce -- we barely had enough for three people. Would've liked some protein in them too, but they were still a solid starter. The chicken satay just wasn't it for me. It was on the dry side and didn't have much flavor, even with the peanut sauce. My sister and mom liked it, so I think this one comes down to personal preference, but I wouldn't order it again. As for the noodle dishes -- they were all just mid. The beef drunken noodles, duck pad Thai, and duck lion city noodles were fine, but none of them stood out. They weren't bland, but they also weren't memorable. I was hoping for bold flavors, especially in the lion city noodles, but that one especially fell flat. I expected a dry curry noodle dish and instead got something that tasted like a basic stir fry. Not bad, just not exciting. The duck in both dishes was cooked fine, but again -- nothing wow-worthy. The Thai tea was a miss. I could tell just by looking at it that it had too much milk, and once I tasted it, it was basically sweet cream with barely any tea flavor. Wouldn't get again. Overall, the service was lovely and the crab rangoons made it worth the trip, but everything else was kind of forgettable. I wouldn't say no if someone wanted to come back here, but I also wouldn't be the one suggesting it. Still, for the area, it's nice to have a Thai spot that's fast and friendly -- I just wish the flavors packed a bit more punch. read more

This is the best Thai food. I am obsessed with the beef drunken noodles and the pineapple chicken fried rice! The basil wraps were also delicious!! read more

Nam Khong - Pineapple Fried Rice - Laotian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

We're so back. I would like to preface that originally, I agreed with the other reviewers that Nam Khong hasn't been the same since the new owners took over. The first time I got my usual here after the switch, it really was not as good as usual. Ordered in with some Nam Khong last night with my friends, EVERYONE loved their dish. I keep thinking about the Lao Khao Soi. PERFECT amount of spice, but still sweet and had an amazing texture. I loved being able to assemble the soup myself, so nothing was soggy! My vegan friend loved the Veggie tofu pad thai. I cannot speak for the service since I didn't pick up, but the quality of the food said everything for me. I am definitely going to start opting for Nam Khong again effective immediately! read more

The food and service was excellent. The portion served was more than I could eat. The Fiery Pad Thai is spicy hot and delicious.

i moved from los angeles, where you can get the best thai food in the country, to southeast connecticut back in 2022. i came here at least once a month or every two months since i found this restaurant on yelp. the crab rangoons and khao soi (tofu and duck were my faves) were my go tos, and the chili oil really amped it the deep flavors! i also enjoyed speaking with the owner peter-- he ran such a great restaurant. i was (and still am!) so sad to move away in summer 2023, because i still can't find a khao soi as flavorful and heart warming as the one i've had here. i can only hope the new owners can soon replicate what peter had left behind. i hope to dine here again in the future read more

Not friendly borderline rude. Why are you in the service business? Food was ok/good ambiance meh $20 for one entree lunch including tip. Too many other choices will never go back. read more

We come here very frequently for a variety of food on the menu, including their curry dishes. stir-fries and the noodle dishes. They're so good and come with big portion . This place is owned by two sisters and they are super nice. read more

The absolute best. All of their soups cure everything. Super authentic and my absolute favorite Thai food in all the area.

Service was fine but not very friendly. The food was average with good size portions however the salmon dish was very rich with too much sauce and the meat dish was chewy. The restaurant was very cold and lacking any atmosphere. Was hoping for a better experience:-(. read more

Nam Khong is an unassuming Laosian restaurant in a shopping plaza anchored by a hardware store. The food is served fresh and hot. This is one of our favorite spots for a healthy, quick, and delicious meal!! Heads up, it gets busy when the summer residents arrive. The restaurant is on Rte 1 in Westerly. Wonderful family run operation. This makes all of the difference! read more

After many many months of not eating here- hubby and I were greeted by the owner- by name! That's always very impressive. He chit chatted with us even before we could look at the menu but not in a bad way- we totally enjoyed the conversation and it made us feel like catching up with family. For starters we ordered the fried spring rolls with chicken and the fried Brussels sprouts. They make it so good here. It was perfect. Had to keep myself from licking the plates! Hubby opted for the Lao style Seafood Pho. The selling point was that it's made with real chicken broth- not msg filled bouillon. It had lots of scallops, a few shrimp and some tender squid. I chose the ginger duck. It had a nice gingery sauce with ginger matchsticks, snow pea pods, baby corn, peppers, and onions. The duck was nice and crispy. I also had a pot of Thai green tea. I've never had it before but it was very floral almost like a jasmine tea but I couldn't put my finger on it. Also smelled sweet like dulce de leche or something. The only thing was -- it's seriously green! Like spirulina kombucha lol. I really enjoyed it and I am a huge tea drinker. Peter, the owner, seems to like it a lot too! He says that since he's discovered the tea, he's been drinking it daily. While eating - there were about 3 take out orders, another couple eating, and a group of 7 who seemed to be on their lunch break and they called in their orders. All the apps were ready upon arrival and they only had to wait 5 min max for the rest of their food. They seem to make a trip to Nam Khong quite often. They offer beer and wine now. There are also 2 small tables for outdoor dining. Please give this place a shot! The food here is delicious! read more

Nam Khong - 52. Chicken Crispy Gai Kao & coconut rice - Laotian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

great service, no long wait time, good food, very nice thoughtful waitress; entree portions could be a little bigger for the price, I was surprised it's more expensive than Boston prices read more

Get. The. Brussels. Sprouts. Super friendly staff, place is clean and cozy, food was truly excellent and came out quickly. Good for kids. Had nam khong (very good), khao soi (very very good), pad Thai for the kids (good), soft spring rolls (good) and the Brussels sprouts. I'm not a religious person, but I saw the face of God in those sprouts. read more

It seems like they had a change of ownership in the summer of 2023 but the food is still very good. I've tried a few of the Thai restaurants in the area and for my taste this is the best. Their dishes are better balanced and fresher than the others I have tried. They also are more Lao/Thai and less Americanized than the others. The Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Curries and the fresh spring rolls are very good. I would not hesitate to go further into their menu. Everything has been fresh and delicious. read more

This is an authentic location. The dumplings are the best, most authentic, delicious dumplings you'll get. It's an absolute must try. read more

Up until a year two years ago this was one of our favorite restaurants locally. Great food, blending of flavors, and small quiet atmosphere. Greeted by the owner, a gentleman in his 50's, always with a smile and good conversation. fabulous food!! The greeting hasn't changed but it's a new owner now. The previous owner is now in Providence at a new restaurant. About a year ago we stopped in and something just wasn't the same. The food lacked but we thought okay, every business has a bad day. Today we went in and confirmed it. The food definitely had changed. Up until a year ago there was never a need for a take home box. Today not even half of the food at the table was finished and it all got packed up. We left feeling we had eaten very heavy. We definitely will not be back and this place is destined to go under. They won't get many return customers in our opinion. read more

Food was fair. I ordered the pad Thai and it was very heavy - almost oily. To me pad Thai is a staple and if that isn't made properly that it reflects poorly on the restaurant. read more

This restaurant is a gift to the community. Delicious food, ginormous portions, incredibly kind service. read more

I used to dine here at least once a week and loved it. Its small and simple inside. When Peter owned it the food was amazing. Unfortunately he sold it. The food and service went way downhill. I thought maybe it was an off day. Unfortunately after another try it was the same. The food was just not what it once was nor was the service. It wasn't just me. My daughter and her family came back up to RI for a visit. They were also regulars here. She asked me what happened. Unfortunately it was sold. I don't see this place lasting. There's a few Thai places in Wakefield. read more

Delicious comfort food! Ambiance is cozy and service was speedy, stop scrolling and go!

Best Thai food around. Always cooked to perfection, the staff is friendly and the surrounding and pleasant and clean.

Good Seafood Pho, Friendly, clean, efficient, tasty. Will come back to try more dishes.

First meal review! Delicious. We went with takeaway since this place is super tiny and not aesthetically a "dine in" joint. The food was awesome. For whatever reason we have a lot of Thai options in South County and we've been to quite a few. This lovel family restaurant is Laotian and I felt the extra spice in our meals and loved it! We ordered the Naim Chao which I have to say isn't as good as Jacky's Galaxy or Dragon Palace. We also tried the Laotian Chicken Lab Salad, Pad Woonsen, and Nam Kong Special . These were all Fantastic ! So flavorful and the exact spice and basil combo. New favorite Thai/Laotian gem! read more

Disappointed with the food. The pad Thai was just okay - not great, the crab ragoons were burnt, the wings weren't crispy, the khao soi wasn't my cup of tea but wasn't bad for someone who really likes it. Overall, wouldn't order again. read more

So good. LOVE this place! The Khao Soi with duck is to die for. Ask for spicy if you like heat. The owners are Lao and in my view their Laotian dishes are the best. They make some outstanding pho and wonton soup as well. Five stars all the way. read more

This is a hidden gem in a strip mall in Westerly. It's a mom and pop restaurant, with food actually cooked to order. We had great spring rolls followed by chicken curries, one green, one red. Both superb and more than ample in flavor and quantity. Lots of crunchy broccoli and other vegetables. Owner is an affable fellow who takes good care of his guests. We're already planning our next visit. read more

Best meal that we had during our short vacation to Mystic. Khao soi was on point. Highly recommend the stuffed chicken wings and fried Brussel sprouts. Belly full, happy :) read more

Very good Thai cuisine, the Tom Yum Soup was excellent as was the Fiery Pad Thai, the noodles were cooked perfectly; the over all flavor was well above average. Papaya salad was slightly disappointing as the papaya was piled high on lettuce wedges giving the appearance of more papaya still the dish was very good but on the nuclear hot side, so beware. This is a very small resto with no AC, so take that into consideration when dediciding to dine there during the hotter months. I certainly would return to try more of their menu items as these folks do and outstanding job in the kitchen. read more

Really pleasantly surprised by the food here. My family and I spent the weekend in Weekapaug and were craving Asian food so we gave this place a shot. Really recommend the duck pho and my husband had the Nam Khong, which I believe is the signature dish (similar to curry with rice). The broth for my pho was flavorful, clean-tasting, and the duck seemed pretty fresh too. I opted for egg noodles instead of rice noodles, and was heartily satisfied. Probably 6-8 tables, friendly service, accommodating menu. I'm glad we stopped by! read more

Amazing food! Absolutely delicious! My dad and stepmom live nearby, and we always go to dinner here when I visit. I've been 4 times, and I'm excited to go back this week! Fyi, the link to "explore the menu" on yelp isn't correct. I hope yelp fixes it because the menu is Thai/Laotian, nit donuts/baked goods. I have to find a way to let Yelp know. read more

This is a great place for a quick, easy meal. I go there often and always love getting their curry dishes. Recently, I needed something cozy for these corona times. I was happy to see how they had the take out area set up. The restaurant is blocked off by floor to ceiling plastic, and there's a small plastic flap that you pay through and get your food through. No contact at all! Easy in and out. Don't hesitate to go and support them during this time. read more

Fantastic little spot and my go-to takeout place. Anything with yellow curry is the bomb, I've tried them all. Khao Soi, Lion City Noodles, and Yellow Curry entrees are my three favs. read more

Every experience we have had at Nam Khong has been great. The authentic Laotian and Singaporean food is delicious, and a welcome change from the typical other Asian restaurants. Their spicy dishes are great, however they won't make them "extra spicy", but will give you extra spices on the side. This is due to bad interactions with past customers trying to get free food when the "extra spicy" food that they ordered was too spicy for them. Overall, great place to eat and extremely friendly staff. Absolutely recommended. read more

Owner and daughter are super nice, very friendly and will answer any questions on the menu. I went with five entrees for three people takeout and two were favorites. Brussel sprouts were excellent and a must do, even if you're not a huge fan you must try them grilled or fried. Nothing is really spicy hot even though I asked for explosion level. Food was good for Thai... not as good as I expected though so I can't give it 5 stars for taste reasons. Pricing was good for the portions, lasted a couple days. Tom Soup was decent. Shrimp pad Thai ok, lots of shrimp, but not a lot of sauce so ended up being all noodles with minimal taste after the shrimp was gone. Chicken was decent sized and plentiful in all my orders. I think it's a great place for starter Thai foodies... and I hope they do well cause they're so friendly and actually speak English! There are 3 other Thai places within a mile of each other in Westerly that have a little more zip in their flavoring. Give it a shot at eating in and at least you can have a conversation with the owner in English! read more

Friendly and old school. Homemade and cozy. Ordered half of the menu$$$$ :D everything was incredible. Could have never expected the quality or quantity that was given. If I didn't know better. I'd have thought I was in Taiwan. read more
