    Pad Thai w/chicken
    David Z.

    There is a small parking lot in the back of the building with access to the restaurant through a door and stairs vice front access. Quickly seated by friendly staff. Comfortable dining area and was seated at table next to fire place which was nice on a cold night. There is bar seating available as well. Gyoza was a bit greasy vice steamed and lackluster in taste . Pad thai with chicken was good, but was a little low on the flavor and punch scale for me. Good atmosphere for a quick sit down meal with family or friends!

    Just riding down the street and saw this restaurant and my family went in to check it out. The inside was super cozy, they had the fireplace going and had a nice home feel to the place. The service was OK. The lady forgot my child's ice cream. We just didn't make a big deal about it. I ordered the curry with potatoes. It was very good. The spice level was just right. Look forward to going back and trying a higher spice level next time the flavored water was a nice touch and they have a nice well stock bar with a lot of different options. Everybody's food came out good nobody had any complaints. Definitely look forward to trying this place again in the future.

    Lychee martini

    We were visiting Newport and had dinner at NaPha Thai, which was very close to our AirBNB. We started with lychee martinis - they were fine, not very strong though. We then split the Tom Yum chicken soup, stir fry chicken with cashew nuts, and pad see ew noodles. All was good, but I would say priced a bit higher than I would expect for the location and ambiance. Service was spotty - we were not checked on often. However, I appreciate this small restaurant being available and providing a decent dinner.

    Mango Sticky Rice
    Jan Ericson M.

    The service was prompt and respectful, the restaurant atmosphere felt like it brought some of Thailand's culture to Rhode Island, and the food was amazing! The Pad Thai was perfectly made, and they don't play when it comes to spice! after my mouth was doused in fire, the Mango Sticky Rice was exactly what i needed to calm it down! 10/10, will recommend again!

    Crispy duck curry

    Crispy duck curry is the best here! The sweet lady that is always here gets our food super fast and it's always delicious. Sit by the fire, it's a very cozy romantic spot.

    Green Curry

    We arrived when there were zero people at the restaurant at 2 pm and the gentleman asked just two and I said yes, do you want to do takeout and he said no okay. They only have one fryer so we could not order spring rolls as we are vegetarian. We ordered red curry and green curry and medium spicy but he made it extra spicy. He was not interested in serving us but I did see there was a DoorDash order they prepared. The portions are very small and when I inquired if they had lunch specials he said no it is all same price which is fine! The 3.5 stars are because the restaurant is clean and food is good - give a little more curry and a lot less rice and easily 4/5

    6 Pieces Gyoza

    We loved this place! Everything was delicious. Service was friendly and thoughtful. NaPha is nestled in a house and it feels like you are at someone's home. Nothing tasted like it was from a can. All freshly prepared ingredients. The red curry was absolutely amazing. So so good. Chicken satay was tender and tasty. You can't go wrong here!

    I like the full bar

    You don't get much Thai/Lao food options in Newport. I'm so glad i found NaPha! The food reminds me of meals I've have at home with my family. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Quality food, gracious staff and beautiful space. Highly recommend.

    I ordered Pad Thai and Crab Rangoons on a Sunday afternoon, to go. I placed an order via the website. It was ready on time and everything was given to me correctly. The pad Thai was delicious. I ordered no spice and would probably get mild next time. It had a lot of bean sprouts on top, not a personal favorite of time but totally normal for the dish. I'd ordered it again and ask for less bean sprouts next time. There was plenty of tofu included, which was my protein of choice. They also offered chicken, beef, etc. The crab Rangoon was phenomenal. The wontons were crispy and hot. The filling was creamy, with a good wonton to filling ratio (sometimes the filling can be skimpy elsewhere! I didn't find that here). The dipping sauce was light and complimented the dish well. The inside of the restaurant was spacious and had lots of plants. I would go back to dine in and I will definitely be back to get take out. Total price was around $35 for both dishes. I'd be very interested in trying the $12.95 lunch special (see menu in photo).

    Excellent. Panang curry with fried rice

For drinks I got a refresher ~ refresher wasn't too outstanding but it helped with my spicy ramen~ my ramen so was savory and flavorful~ tasty, wasn't fatty or too oily. It had just good flavors that weren't too heavy but definitely filling and satisfying. My partners ramen was also very flavorful and tasty without the typical fatty, oily, tastes I usually get. We asked the server for the check since we need to leave soon after to make it on time for an event, and she gave us the check, and some to-go containers in case we needed it, which was very considerate! The appetizer were solid, good, but you MUST try the ramen. Spicy ramen was worth it if you need a good hangover soup or super chilly, or just want to sweat~ the egg and corn pieces were such soothing ingredients ~ Will be back for sure, even if the drive and parking is a hassle. Street parking is the way to go, and be ready for a walk~

Service was so so, not too attentive and a little pushy to get our party out while finishing drinks even though there was plenty of other seating available by that time. Bruschetta was fresh and light, great starter to the food. The carbonara was a little underwhelming for my taste, but a decent option. I normally enjoy the bolognese here and just wanted to try something different today.

I got here around 4 pm and the parking situation wasn't honestly an issue. The music isn't over powering and the overall layout makes it seem very homey. depending on where you sit you have a nice view of the kitchen where the chefs are diligently preparing the food. The starter bread is nice and dense with good flavor, it reminds me of a sour dough. The olive oil that comes standard at the table is robust and has a very nice flavor to it. I ordered the pasta bolognese, the taste and acidity of the sauce is pretty standard, a little on the acidic side but i tend to enjoy it like that. The house made pasta (or whichever kind of pasta is used) is well picked. The pasta picks up the sauce well and the mouthfeel is hard to beat; I want to attribute that to the house made aspect of it. I also got one of their seasonal cocktails called the paper plane which was refreshing. It was a little tart, definitely tastes of grape fruit with the lemon garnish also contributing to the taste. However I'm not sure how well it paired with pasta alla bolognese. To finish I got the crème brûlée. For me it's always a toss up between that and key lime pie every time so when a place offers both I usually have to flip a coin. For those who have had crème brûlée, it's overall a pretty simple dessert. The portion size was a huge plus for me. The sugar top had just a hint of burnt taste (obviously!) but you could really tell; and that is something I honestly don't mind. As for the crème it was nice, light, smooth with a hint of lemon I think. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I'm typically a solo diner but at least from what I saw they are capable of accommodating parties of about 10 so long as you call ahead first to let them know. I have to assume given the time of year it's "less packed" than normal because outdoor dining is pretty much not an option in march. This is my first time in the state of Rhode Island and subsequently the first time in Newport. I found them out through the Resy app, and decided to give it a shot. In all honestly because of the vibes, the food and the area, if you are ever in the area I would definitely try this spot out for some pretty good Italian. P.S I want to apologize for only posting the dessert, I'm just getting back into food posting. Sorry!

The restaurant has a very calming atmosphere inside and while small, even has outdoor seating. Drinks/apps: we always start off with Thai iced teas, these are a must. They are sweet but not overly so, and go very well with any dish you order. We also love the spring rolls, mango fresh rolls, and our favorite, the curry puffs. They are flakey and filled with sweet/savory vegetable flavors. Of course we also get the edamame because it's a nice little snack. Entrees: my current favorite is the malay noodle soup, it comes out steaming hot and is so creamy and filling. There is plenty of beef and wonderful steamed broccoli that soaks up the flavor of the soup. I also love the Rad Na, which is an assortment of steamed vegetables in a gravy-like curry. This one is perfect for colder months, since it really warms you up. My bf has gotten various curries and the vermicelli trio which he has enjoyed very much as well. Dessert: we haven't tried any dessert here because we end up getting so full from the other dishes! Each time we go I anticipate that I will need to be carried out, because I will probably go into a food coma. TL;DR: For those visiting Newport, do not pass up trying this place if you're not in the mood for the overwhelming amount of seafood restaurants located here. You can't really go wrong with any dish, make sure to get Thai iced teas and you will leave really full and happy :)
