Flavors were new and unique but not overbearing. A delicate balance of savory and spicy while not overly spicy. The textures in the salad were insane. Chewy and crunchy and just a delight to enjoy. The rainbow noodles came with a sipping broth which truly elevated the dish. A handwritten note saying to enjoy a sip every two bites was just a lovely personal touch. 5/5 - cannot wait to enjoy in person!

I also enjoyed the tea salad, which included a lot of unique and delicious ingredient. It tasted very fresh and yummy! I will say that the garlic chicken dish was a bit bland compared the other dishes. We also got some fried onion cakes which were very good!! The coconut rice was great, super fragrant and moist! It was long grain rice I believe so it didn't have the usual stickiness that I typically expect. Still wonderful tho!!

What makes me want to say that starts by the welcome from the warmth and kindness from the staff. Tate made me feel at home. He did not make me feel rushed. I work at Amazon and for those of you who have worked for Amazon, rushing is crawling while sprinting is walking. Tate did not rush me at all. So, I felt right at home. I was tired and I was thankful for not being rushed. I ordered my drink and sauted clams. The drink only took less than 4 mins to make. The clams came out quickly. Then my Drunken Noodle dish came out and it was spicy to my liking ... Thai Hot #10. I also asked for additional hot pepper. I recommend Thai Excursion for anyone to try. You will not be disappointed.

I'd say three people can split it! The broth is very rich and hearty! I wanted to sample everything since we never been here before and everything was delicious.

Now that says a lot! I was pretty full from all the apps so I ordered two small soups as my entree bc again, wanted to sample everything. I got shrimp tom yum soup (best I've had so far) and clear soup. Very very light and soothing with clear noodz. We'll definitely be back. Our server was very very nice and accommodating.

I have been on the hunt for the best crab rangoons in Rhode Island and this place came highly…read morerecommended. So I stopped in the other day in between some errands. At first glance, you don't see much from Elmwood Ave, but veer to the right and everything opens up on the left, with a parking lot in the back. Ornate statues lead you to the entrance, and once inside you are instantly greeted with bold colors and beautiful art everywhere. I wanted to take the opportunity to try some Cambodian food, so after some quick research, I opted for Beef Lok Lak, which happened to be one of the lunch combos. I chose fried rice and nime chow for my lunch options and settled back to wait for my feast. They bring you a complementary pot of hot tea, which I enjoyed. I believe it was a straightforward unsweetened black tea. Perfect for me. Before long the rangoons arrived. I literally said "wow" when the runner set my plate down. Beautiful golden brown, small bubbles visible all over the outside, promising crispy goodness. And it delivered. What I didn't expect what the slight chewiness to the wrapper that enhanced the experience. The filling was super creamy and delicious, but I prefer my rangoons with scallions as well. However, that didn't stop me from enjoying every bite. Then my lunch came. The beef was perfectly cooked, the dressing tangy and peppery. The nime chow was herby and super fresh as it should be. And the rice had this extra depth of flavor that made me think of tomato paste? A lovely addition the dish. I had a great meal here and the rangoons are definitely worth having! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu!!

If you want fast food (especially on a weekend), don't come here. But if you want fresh, tasty, and…read morewell-priced food, do yourself the favor of taking a trip here. For the longest, I thought Apsara on Hope St and this Apsara were the same owners, different locations but I was fooled. They are different, so I came on a Saturday evening with my friend to give this one a try. They have a parking lot but it is small. However, there is lots of street parking around. When we walked in, every table was full and we had to wait about 20-30 minutes to be seated. Since we had time to look at the menu while we waited, we ordered right away: BBQ beef, stir fried thin egg noddle with seafood, and thai garlic chicken wings. While waiting for the food, I had ample time to take in my surroundings, including all the elegant décor around the restaurant including a lot of red and gold colors. Our food came out all together after about 20-30 minutes. The portion sizes were excellent, and all the food was still hot. The beef was cooked perfectly (for me) and cut into manageable strips. It was tender, a hint of sweet, and savory. It came with some sweet pickled shaved radish, cabbage, and carrots with cucumber. This with the meat created a contrast in texture and amplified the sweetness. There was also a clear sauce and that was also really.good. The fried noodles were delicious. They were thin so it seemed like the flavor penetrated inside the noodle. It had a good amount of seafood including big chunks of imitation crab meat, shrimp, and something else I was unfamiliar with. It also had mustard leaves; they weren't bitter, they just had a neutral green leaf flavor (maybe spinach but stronger). The chicken wing order came with about 8 wings, sitting on a bed of cabbage and topped with jalapeno and chili peppers. They were still very hot and crispy, and had a savory and a subtle umelike flavor. I wish the garlic flavor were stronger. I am excited to come back again and try something new on the menu.

The menu had a little bit of everything ranging from Thai to sushi to Vietnamese, a very fusion type feel to it. The service was friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. Three items were ordered and tried. They consisted of the sushi nachos ($14.95), bao buns with chicken katsu ($12.95) and the Mystic River roll ($19.95). The nachos had diced tuna, sliced avocado, Pico de Gallo, topped with spicy avocado sauce and tobiko and served over fried wonton skins. There was a nice portion here. I thought they were going to be small wontons, but this was a pleasant surprise. There was a great ratio of flavors, and I really enjoyed the small dicing of everything. The bao buns were topped with sliced cucumbers, spring onions, carrots, and some type of sweet hoisin sauce it appeared. The chicken was very crispy and tasty. The bun was okay. It was a little tough. I did enjoy the sweet factor from the sauce to pair with the hot and crunchy chicken. The Mystic River roll had tuna, salmon, mango, as well as avocado topped with spicy mayo and was wrapped in a rice wrapper. This was alright. There was a lot of mayo present, which took away from the fish flavor, but it still was not bad. The rice wrapper was an interesting choice, but overall, okay. Will I go back? Probably.

The mango curry was sweet and creamy and a yummy take on the traditional curry dishes. We also had the chicken gra paow, which is uniquely served over wide noodles here. I loved this combo, the dish was saucey, savory, and SPICY (beware). This was probably my favorite dish. Service was very friendly and attentive

Visited this affordable Thai restaurant again!…read more Pad Thai: It looked harmless, but the first bite was so sour it caught me off guard and made me choke... I've never had such a strong-flavored Pad Thai before. But after a few more bites, I realized it was at least better than those bland American style Thai dishes; you just need to drink more water. The rice noodles were soft but not mushy, the bean sprouts were crisp and refreshing, the crushed peanuts were especially fragrant, the chicken breast was reasonably tender, and the portion was as generous as always. Pad Pa Spicy Eggplant: First time trying it. To me, it reminded me of Hakka-style salted fish and eggplant casserole, which felt familiar. However, the eggplant probably needs more cooking time; it was too firm and not flavorful enough. But my friend, a Thai food expert, thought it was very authentic!
