Really bad experience — we came for sit in and ordered food. We waited for 50 minutes and nothing had come out, the waiter said “almost done”. After another 10 minutes I asked very politely what the time estimate for the food was - he went in the back, came out and told us we should leave. He was extremely rude, waved his hands away at us and then left. I stayed and asked what was going on, and he said he asked the check how much longer it would take, the chef said another 45 minutes and so he cancelled the order. Extremely unprofessional and rude. At no point were we loud, rude or unreasonable.

A nice tucked away fusion restaurant with amazing flavors. If there’s one thing I recommend it is definitely the Brussels sprouts. The crispy texture with jam packed Asian soy flavor easily makes it THE best sprouts I’ve had. While the chicken wings were crispy, I didn’t find anything unique about it. Typical wings with a sweet and sour sauce. I wished they made a dish that fused the flavors from the Brussels sprouts onto the wings. The pad see U with beef was another good dish. Sweet flavor that’s nicely stirred fried. However the beef was a little bland and not tender.Overall, I would come back again because the flavors were on point. During busy times, the wait times are going to be 20+ minutes long. This is especially with the limited seating and only one server

The food was delicious. I had the crab Rangoon, and Khao soi. This was my first time having Laotian food and I am impressed.

If you go to Champa, you're going for the food. The space is tiny, they take no reservations, they don't have a liquor license, and they don't allow BYOB. Having said that, the dishes we had were outstanding. We had the Khao Soi and Lad nar. Absolutely delicious. I would go back, but I would definitely go early. By 630, there were several people standing in the middle of the restaurant waiting for tables to open up.

So delicious--if you like spicy food, try the papaya salad. I thought about this meal for weeks after my trip to Providence. I can't wait till I get to go back. Waiter (and maybe owner?) was so sweet--you can tell he enjoys sharing his culture through food. Try it out--you won't be disappointed.

Our new favorite little place to eat! We came here for dinner on New Year’s Eve before heading over to the pedestrian bridge for the festivities. It’s obviously a popular spot but we were fortunate to be seated right away. The staff were super friendly and the food delicious.

Great Cambodian food (not Americanized). The green papaya salad is one of the best I've had on either side of the Pacific. The orange tea is a must and the house special area on the menu are all worth trying. The owner is always there making sure everyone is enjoying themselves.

Without a doubt the best Thai restaurant in Rhode Island, and maybe the best in New England. And the owner Peter, who is also the server, is the nicest guy you will ever meet. This place is phenomenal, all the food is fresh made to order (Peter's wife is the cook), and the prices are insanely reasonable. Make sure you get the Khao Soi, it is a coconut curry pho that must weigh 3 lbs. Tiny restaurant, There are maybe only 20 seats inside, but believe me this is the best Thai restaurant you will ever visit.

Amazing homemade food. Professional yet friendly service. Feels very homey. Try the mango sticky rice, it’s truly amazing. Highly recommend. We’re lucky to have such traditional cuisine from Laos in the Fox Point neighborhood.

Probably the best restaurant in town with relationship to price and quality. The staff is friendly and engages actively in conversation, which makes you feel at home, and they have a bunch of loyal customers. They recommended me some dishes they had and they did not fail. The Khao Soi soup is the best one I tried ever since I went to northern Thailand and it tastes nearly the same as there. Prices are also very affordable and the place is cozy and smells of good food. I also went to the toilet once (which is at the kitchen) and their kitchen is very clean. Would recommend 10/10.
