Like really good, so good, I guess the yelpers are right, I should have never doubted the opinion of the many. The Lao sausage is not very salty, it has a slight hint of sweet, and it's perfectly seasoned. Each bite is as good as the first. It's delicious with or without rice. Definitely a dish we'll be ordering next time we go to Pho Zap Zap!

Always been a fan of Phô but had only tried one restaurant here in PVD. At the recommendation of…read moresome friends, I had Pho Zap Zap's Seafood Phô to go and my partner had the beef Phô. Though the meal was incredibly delicious and the ingredients seemed rather fresh, I was a bit disappointed by the small amount of seafood that was on the soup. Perhaps the small size was because it was regular later than large, but I still expected a bit more. Other than that, the service was great and the owners were efficient but equally polite. Will come back for a seat down dinner sometime to try the larger portion. Of note: they only have seafood or beef options, so they don't have a vegetarian or vegan option on the menu!

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.

I love this restaurant. 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.

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!!

As per usual we order (intentionally) too much food so that we can have another meal at home the next day. An advantage here is that one can bring one's own bottle, which keeps the costs down.

Reasonably priced ($65) with another meal to take home. Lunch without having to cook! A welcome idea.

The dining room can accommodate larger parties. It's nicely decorated and comfortable, but tends to be a bit chilly in winter so ask for a refill of the complementary tea. We like most of the menu, but our particular favorites are the hot & sour soup (so nice and spicy!), coconut chicken appetizer, satay noodles (again, can be spicy), and the Cambodian noodles dry (served in a delicious sauce, don't worry). Other items frequently in rotation for us are the fried lort, general tsao's tofu, numya curry, and tom yum soup (tofu, chicken, beef or just veggies can be added). Service is friendly and quick - either eating here or getting take out.

We got the Mango Red Curry (red curry paste, coconut milk, red and green bell pepper, mango) with vegetables (zucchini, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, string bean) and lunch special Green Curry (green curry paste, coconut milk, eggplant, red and green bell pepper, bamboo, and basil ) with tofu. Both were savory and creamy deliciousness, green was sweeter than red. Tbh the mango was intriguing but unnecessary. The rice was well-cooked. I also always get Thai Iced Tea, which was classic here with good amount of tea flavor and sweetness (although we did wish there was less ice). The ambiance is casual: lots of seating and bright light. Service was fast and friendly. If you pay with cash, the final bill is a little lower (~$1.50). There's street parking around. 9/10 would recommend!
