The food has always been excellent and the prices are reasonable…read more Five of us went for dinner recently and we got a few items to share, here are my impressions of the experience. - Spring rolls. Crispy and light. Small but packed with flavor, an order had 5 of them. It came with a dipping sauce. - Chicken wings. Not big but well done. They came with a sweet and sour sauce. An order had 6 of them. - Garlic green beans. Delicious. Lots of flavor and nice texture and bite. The favorite of the table that night. - Brussel sprouts. Not a large portion. Lightly fried. - Pad Thai with chicken. Light and well prepared, all sauces and flavors melded together nicely. - Fried rice with pork. Light and delicious. Good portion to share among all of us. The restaurant does not take reservations and because there are less than 10 tables in the entire place, sometimes wait times can be a bit long. Many people do take out or DoorDash. Still, it's worth it. Laotian / Thai food at its best in Providence.

From being on my "must visit" list, to eight months later, finally making my way into the…read morerestaurant. I had done some research and knew it was a small space so I was praying there would be enough open tables. When we talked in, there were about 3 tables open. It took a bit to get seated since the host/ server was busy getting together online orders and bringing out food to other customers. But after a couple minutes, we were allowed to pick our own table. They have 3 two person tables to the left, on an elevated platform. To the far front of the space, there were two booths which could easily fit 4 people each. To the right there were 3 tables for 4-5 people each. We went with the bigger table, but moved after a couple minutes to another table for a more private setting. For an appetizer, we put in an order of crab rangoons. As my entrée, I ordered the Khao Soi with seafood and my friend ordered the beef salad which comes with sticky rice. The crab rangoons came out after about 10 minutes. They looked crispy, and were wrapped in a cute, round way. The filling wasn't as creamy as I wish it would be, but it did taste a bit healthier than regular Chinese take out. The entress came out after about another 10 minutes. My Khao Soi came out with a big bowl, with some lime and peanuts on the side. I asked for more lime and cilantro on the side. The broth was a very vibrant color, creamy, sweet, a little tangy from the lime, and because of the cilantro had a fresh and clean flavor. I loved the combination of all the flavors, and it reminded me of a curry. The noodles were soft, but not falling apart and there was a good amount of it. There was plenty of seafood including calamari, shrimp, and mussels. The calamari was a little tough but the other items were good. I loved the crispy shallots on top as they provided an additional sweet but savory element. I finished the entire thing. My friend's salad was good. It was simple in that it was salads and herbs with minced meat but it tasted good. The sticky rice came in a ball wrapped in aluminum foil, and then put into their authentic little basket so it was full to pull apart. They do have a dessert menu and we were offered some, but I had no space. It seemed like the server was handling a lot at once so kudos to him and the small but mighty team in the back cooking everything up. I would be interested in trying other items on their menu.

It's packed with delicious-looking items, from fancy oils to spices and meats, cheeses, condiments, produce, and so much more. The owner was there along with some staff, and everyone was so open and friendly. It was so easy to strike up a conversation and get feedback about various items in the store. I was so pleased with my first visit while waiting for my friend for dinner, that I told her about the shop while we were having dinner. We stopped in again, this time together, afterwards. She also loved the shop and made some purchases. I will definitely be back! The owner was great and even said she can special order certain items in the future if I'm looking for anything specific they don't carry. I'd happily give her my business rather than trying to source special ingredients on Amazon :)

The texture was smooth, the quality felt fresh, and you could tell they take pride in what they make. I loved adding it to my smoothies, and it gave me that little health boost I was looking for. The only downside--and the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5--is that the sea moss ended up going bad after about a month. I was hoping it would last a bit longer, especially since I was using it in moderation. It might've been on the edge of its shelf life when I bought it, so just something to keep in mind if you're not planning to use it quickly. Overall, great vibes and a solid local spot for wellness goodies. I'll definitely be back to try more of their smoothies and other health products!
