This was the worst place I've been to in a long time. Let's start with the waiter. When I go to a place called Thai excursion, I don't expect to a have a sixty year old affeminate Italian biker with neck tattoos serving me. But looks aside, I asked him if the coconut juice had meat in it and he gasped and insisted that they would never put meat in coconut juice. Apparently he thought I meant beef, not the substance inside the coconut that is referred to as coconut meat. Okay, fine. We order dumplings and when they came out, the dough was soooo thick on them they clearly had just been pulled out of a freezer and deep fried. Sadly, this was the best thing that was served to us. I ordered a beef salad. When it came out and the server put it in front of me, the smell wafting up from it made me gag. This was the worst looking/smelling meal I have seen in years. I asked the server to just take it because there was no way I was going to be able to sit there and stomach the smell and look of it. He insisted that I didn't know Thai food. Okay....well, I've frequented many Asian restaurants, not just Thai, and for two years I lived in a house full of Cambodian refugees who lived in Thailand for several years and made the food everyday, but I guess that Italian guy's right. Maybe I just don't know that Thai food should smell rancid. I ate my kids' food because they wouldn't. My husband wouldn't eat his either. Also the chairs are ridiculously uncomfortable. I suggest that if you are considering going here, DON'T. read more

I currently live in Boston but I have been to Thai Excursion several times when visiting my friends in the Providence/Warwick area. I love the FOOD... being vegetarian .. I'm tough to please!! I think its simply delicious... everything I've tried! I'll even admit I've tried some things that werent my favorite but I will still say the food is fanatastic! AND the staff is always more then accomodating to alter dishes to my preference. I love Thai Excursion! The food, the cocktails and the staff!!! My Applauds to Thai Excursion! I have to agree with Brian Q the new location is absolutely gorgeous and congratulations on the successful move! Having said that I feel Tiffany's opinion is pretty ridiculous. Say what you will about the food... maybe your taste buds are different from mine and all the others that speak so fondly of the restaurant... But to sit there and speak ill of the Waiter because of his ethnicity and personality just goes to show that Tiffany S is IGNORANT and ARROGANT. What in this day and age... Do you expect to see only Africian Americans at a Soul Food Restaurant or only Jewish people at a Bank or a Gay Man at a Clothing Boutique? Theres nothing better then a Narrow Minded person to make ridiculous statements ... Think before you speak or keep your opinion to yourself. Personally I think that their employing a wide variety personalities and ethnicity shows that the owners are open minded and down to earth and we should all take notes on how to be a better person from them. read more

Hands down the best Thai food in the area! I get takeout from here at least once a month and have yet to have a bad meal. My go to's are the drunken noodles and Thai basil chicken. I am sure the other dishes are just as amazing. The prices are reasonable and the staff has always been nice. If you are looking for some great Thai food, I highly recommend Thai Excursion!! read more

I live around the corner and finally got out to try this place on Saturday night. It was oddly quiet, with two servers and only one table other than us the entire time. We started with the Bangkok rolls and Calamari. The rolls were great, but the Calamari was cut quite thick and as a result was a bit chewy. I didn't mind, but my boyfriend didn't care at all for it. The server's English wasn't the best, but he gave us several of "his favorites" and their "famous dishes" as suggestions. Our meals were great! Just keep in mind that they LOVE spice. My boyfriend ordered his mean 3 out of 5 spicy, and was having a hard time eating it by the end of the meal, it was so hot. My Chili fish was great, and the flavor was so good that even though the burn was building, I couldn't stop eating. :-) Our friend got a seafood dish that had the same creeping heat but that he just couldn't stop eating. Dessert was amazing. We each tried some of everyone elses so I tried the custard (to die for!), coconut ice cream (eh, it was ok), and fried ice cream sundae (brain freeze but yummy). I highly recommend this place, and we will definitely be back. My Chili Fish was just one of the server's recommendations, I've got to try the others! read more

They close earlier than what it says online in Saturday's (9pm not 10 pm). That would be fine if they weren't extremely rude in the way they informed us even though we arrived at 9:05 and the door was not lock/nor was there a sign at the door. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAI EXCURSION!!!! The owners are super awesome and the food is Incredible. I would highly recommend the Pik King Gau or Country Pad Thai! A+++ read more

Even though I didn't Love what I had (Red Curry with duck) I ate it all. Very good! Try the fried rice! My wife ordered it and I had a few bites from her plate, delicious!!! read more

This is a hidden gem in a small area! The martini selection is awesome and delicious!!! The bartender Toni is a doll and makes a killer drink! My bf and I went here all the time. Small and cozy but great place!! read more

If you want good thai come to thai excursion. We order the same things every time we are here. We tend to grab take out over dining in because of our schedule. The drunken noodle is omg delicious, pad Thai with chicken is fresh and tasty. the t's wings are unlike any other wings they are sweet with a hint of citrus and shrimp excursion. Toni is great and always remembers your face. The only downfall for us is that we live so far away. But we will still drive the 30 mins to pick it up. read more

I wasn't very impressed with the authentic flavor. The papaya salad was very sweet and not spicy, even after requesting it to be "Asian style". It seemed very thrown together in a bowl. Also the nam chow was poorly presented and wrapped. The romaine lettuce was a full leaf with the vein still in tact which was very difficult to digest/chew. I would have preferred the lettuce to be green leaf or have the vein cut out. Also the peanut dip wasn't very flavorful. Just disappointed with the flavor all together. Didn't remind me of authentic Thai food. read more

This place is a Gem. One of the Best Thai food around. This was my second time here and every dish is simply Thai. I highly recommend it if you are looking for authentic exotic Thai food. read more

Giving it the benefit of the doubt. I went there last night with a vegetarian friend who often enjoys the food there. The place itself has is cute, chic and dim-lit cozy. Based on my experience with the food, in the future I might bear going there for a drink or two. My pad thai arrived with rather unappetizing gray beef and overcooked tofu. My friend enjoyed his mango curry and two helpings of brown rice. Was not pleased with the food but at least the service was pleasant enough and I always compensate good service with an excellent tip. Although charging for chili sauce in a thai restaurant is little petty. Was not inclined to stay for a possible sub-par dessert so made a quick getaway. Based on the one-time experience : an unfortunate excursion FROM flavor. read more

I love this place. Most authentic Thai around. Lemongrass is good but it's not authentic. It's American Thai/Asian. If you want real then you go here. The Cashew chicken is nothing short of amazing. Their sticky rice and coconut rice are done perfect ALWAYS. And there Basil Shrimp Fried Rice is out of this world. I gave it 5 stars because there good is so good. The only thing that I ever tasted here that was good not amazing (left something to be desired) is there Tom Yum soup (shrimp). The shrimp were huge but the rest of the broth didn't have a lot in it other then mushrooms. Shaun read more

My mom was visiting and we actually discovered this place while looking for anther Thai restaurant in the area. We were so glad we changed our minds! The menu has all the traditional Thai offerings but also some very creative dishes. If you order nothing else, order the Lava mussels from the appetizer menu. The sweet, chili, ginger sauce is so good you will want to drink it and pour it over any other dish you order. Seriously, it is one of the best sauces we had ever had! And the mussels are yummy too. We actually went one more time before my mom left. Again, very yummy! They also have some kitchy, tiki style fruity drinks that are fun. read more

Have had food from here twice and enjoyed both times. I've had the Thai iced tea, scallion pancake, chicken satay, and vegetable fried rice. Would definitely go back again. read more

Closest to an authentic Thai meal around here. Really good! My server was oversolicitous, though, and could use a little calming down.

Dined here the other night and had a few dishes. The massaman curry was pretty good, but I've had better in the area. We started with fresh rolls with shrimp which were fair. They were lacking a zesty quality that really good fresh rolls have, and the shrimp was hard to discern. We also got some fried noodle dish, the name of which escapes me. It was good, but nothing more. The waitress was good and very pleasant. I had a beer and others had tea. Not bad, but there are better choices in my opinion. read more

Don't let the fact that this Thai restaurant is in a strip mall sway your choice to eat here. It's delicious! I ordered the Pad Thai Country (same as their Pad Thai with a hint of exotic chili sauce added in) and it was DELICIOUS! My mom ordered the same dish loved it as well. The Thai Curry & Sticky Rice was also good. They have a great drink list which I can't wait to try on my next visit! Very clean. Excellent service. read more

I've only recently gotten into Thai food but every time I've had Thai Excursion, it's been delicious. I'm a sucker for the drunken noodles & the steamed dumplings. The beef satay is tastier to me than the chicken satay and the prices are reasonable. I've only ever gotten takeout so I can't speak of service aside from the fact that everything comes out fast, fresh and with a smile! Also looking forward to trying the Tamarind Pork. read more

The owner/cook "T" is a phenomenal chef. If you never had duck, THIS is the place to eat it b/c T knows what he's doing. I had the Tamirand Duck w/ a side of sticky rice this week and it was outstanding. Also, the Excursion Calamari was fantastic. I am a frequent customer and every dish T makes is outstanding. read more

Great service. Great food. Atmosphere is a little lacking but the food is always good and makes up for it.

Worst Thai food I've ever had.....fresh roll is suppose to be nimchow.....the worst nimchow ever....looked like a 5 year old made it.....

Toni at the bar was very sweet...at first. Worst Pad Thai I've ever had! It had a very "off" smell to it, which is probably why she recommended I order the one with the Sriracha sauce in it. When I told her I was ready for the check, she asked me if there was something wrong with my meal. I told her that it wasn't very good and smelled a little "off"...she then started challenging me and making comments out loud about how I have no taste. In front of other patrons. She didn't even take it off my bill. So I paid, left her a $5.00 tip and went on my way. Not good...but I guess it was my fault for going to a Thai place in Warwick, RI. read more

Cute restaurant, very clean, and friendly service. The food I ordered was okay, definitely not bad, but not the best. It was a bit oily for my taste and veggies a bit overcooked. It is suited more toward the American palate. The sticky rice is really good though. I'd try it again, requesting a bit more heat next visit for main course. In all fairness, I went just before they closed last week, so as mentioned, will try it again. read more

Some Excursion! It was a price to pay as we were lazy to travel further from our airport hotel to find better food. We did takeout(only 5 min away from hotel, so the take out time length had no effect on food!) Chicken Pad Thai - horrendous, the noodles were watery and bland. The chicken was at least a week old. Although a large portion for $8.95, it was just disgusting. Spicy Fish - fish was already pre-cut pieces from a local supermarket, doused with spicy sauce and some vegetables. Disgusting. Coconut Rice - BARF - white rice pasted with a swab of overdue coconut milk. That's what u call 'coconut' rice! Instant stomach ache after i finished. Friendly service, and a very nice setting/bar. Went around 8pm at night, there was no one eating, a few people at the bar only. Get booze, but i suggest avoid the food! I have better ghetto chinese take out food around tha' hood! (yes i know this place is thai) read more

Fairly good food. Nice ambience. Excellent Margarita. The garlic pork was full of garlic, laid on a bed of lettuce. Would have preferred some vegetables to balance the meat. Not bad. My dinner partner enjoyed the seafood pik pow. It was full of tasty seafood and vegetables tossed in a slightly sweet light sauce. It was really good! We split a ginger ice cream. Fantastic, with real chunks of ginger. All in all an enjoyable meal. read more

Location is a strip mall next to a charming check cashing business. Ate here after a long day and was really hungry... Left really hungry. Drinks were the weakest I've ever had, and that's saying a lot. For what they charge for drinks they should have some kick, not taste like they were watered down. Ordered an appetizer of some fried foods. Everything was bland, tasteless, and extremely overcooked. Couldn't eat it. Told the waitress and she didn't really care. She was nice enough, but after weak drinks and a second problem, it's time to start comping. Had pad Thai and curry. The curry was passable, although nothing to write home about. The pad Thai was borderline overcooked. I get it, it's 'Thai' food in Warwick, what should I expect? The answer is I don't care where I am, if you he food and experience sucks, you're getting a review. read more

Very very good Thai food! I had the pad Thai country which is just the perfect amount of spicy. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be dining here again! read more

Thai Excursion - Awesome saki at Thai excursions! - Thai Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

What a gem! The service, atmosphere and food are all "spot on". The Thai dishes are authentic and superbly spiced. I highly recommend the Basil Fish with jasmine rice. Also the Singapore noodles were delicately seasoned and thin rice noodles perfect texture. Curries r great too. Tempura calamari is tender and light with n amazing dipping sauce. Tate is an excellent server which totally makes for a perfect dining experience. Hidden jewel ... go find it. read more

I really enjoy this location the only ask i have is they join grub hub, so I can enjoy it more often. The tum yum soup is incredible and perfect prescription for the common cold; always clears it up for me. I always get the drunken noodles as well; typically perfect balance of hot/spicy and you can even have them spice it up even more! If your in the mood for some Thai this is a must for me! read more

The food is really good, the prices are really good, only bad mark I have for it is it's service - the people are nice but the servers are awkward and timid. Overall still a very good place to eat! read more

This place is close to home - so we really wanted to like it, but after find long black hairs in both our dishes we weren't able to finish our food. I'm hopeful that it was an anomaly of an experience for others who eat there but we will not be back to try again. read more

Whenever we travel through Providence, we always make it a point to stop at Thai Excursion! The food is amazing and the service is outstanding. It's a hidden gem along the highway close to the airport hotels. If the Chive Cakes appetizer is on the special menu, get them! They are fantastic. We've had the Basil Chicken, the Som Tom soup, Pad See-U, Pik King Gai to name a few...all wonderful. And don't miss the warm Thai Custard with sticky rice for dessert!! I've read the negative reviews, but I've never had a bad meal there. And the service is always friendly. We look forward to going back! read more

I have been to Thai Excursion twice. It has been very good both times. I was hesitant to go after some of the reviews I had read on Yelp. Honesty, I am not sure why the experiences have been so different. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. The server was extremely attentive and made sure we had all we needed. I will definitely be back and plan on making it a regular good stop. read more

I had the spicy chicken and Asian Pear Sake, OMG!!! I love this place, great wait staff too!!

Just had dinner here - it was great! We loved the fresh rolls, spicy tofu and drunken noodle. Staff is wonderful!

I was just eating at this Thai restaurant and it has been by far the first place in years that I have been to that ignores customer service. At first sitting and trying to place the order we were constantly questioned on if we were sure we were ordering our food correctly. Were we sure we wanted the rice under our good, are we sure we wanted our food spicier and last are we sure we wanted the fish we ordered. I ask why do you keep questioning the way we are ordering our food ?? We already explained why we wanted it??? The waiter said he had to repeatedly question out orders because it was different then the way the chef likes to cook and plate things. Then we were told that the chef wouldn't put the rice under the food like we asked because he didn't think it was right. I asked the waiter to bring it back and please put the rice under the food and again there was refusals to do what we asked. After standing my ground the waiter brought the food back to fix it. I work in good industry for a living and this in your face ignorant attitude towards what the REPEATED customer ask for took my appatite away. I found my self not being able to eat the food. Sending it back saying I can't eat the food my experience thier was to negative. Then I was scolded by the waiter saying he wasn't taking it off the bill. Staying that the food has nothing wrong with it and I had to pay for something I didn't eat. We repeatadly asked to speak to the owner by the third time the waiter left. Finally talking to the wife of the chef that owns this place. She again was trying to say that us asking for things the way we did was wrong. That the chef is right in everything he does. I told her that they needed to learn about customer service. We finally got her to take my dish off the bill by just informing her if I didn't eat it in not paying for it. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE. VERY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE! read more

Was look for places to have lunch today and this restaurant came up in the suggestions. Did not leave disappointed, we were created promptly and had one of the best Pad Thai dishes ever. Will return soon! read more

Between the 4 or 5 Thai restaurants I've eaten at in RI, I have to say I think the food quality here is the best. Ate at Thai Excursion for about the 5th time last night and our food was perfect as usual. We always start with the fresh tofu rolls, and usually always stick to the Massamen Curry, which is a hot red curry with onions, sweet potatoes and peanuts. Goes great over coconut rice. A level-two is usually hot enough for both me and my gf and we both like our food SPICY. The hot curries balance out well with a Chang Thai-beer or the Green Tea Martini. Service here is usually spot on, as it's never too busy. Our first time eating here was a bit awkward due to a very "odd" server, but since then we haven't seen him there and have had nothing but great experiences. Food is always fresh which makes a big difference to me. Sometimes at other Thai places the veggies tend to take on a rubbery texture- but not here. I am pretty bummed that they are phasing out the restaurant.com certificates as I purchased several last month. They specified that you call and make a reservation before dining, so that is what we tried to do, to which we were told "they had already taken a couple" that day and weren't taking anymore. Something I've never had happen with a restaurant.com certificate. Oh well, will continue to dine here regardless. read more
