Reviews of Apsara Asian Restaurant (Restaurant)

Joanna Lee

Awesome food. One of the bests for sure. Prices aren't bad and the wait isn't too long. I definitely recommend trying it out! You might be impressed

Pao Yang

Great food. Low prices. Gets crowded though..good sign of great food! Staff is super friendly. Time to expand. One of the best place to eat. Where can you dine out for a family of four...great food...byob..for less than $60. ENOUGH said..

Andrew Muttiah

Loved the food here. Have come here several times because of the great Cambodian food. It is always very busy. Food is perfect but the wait for it can be a bit long because of the crowd. It is worth the wait though because of the flavors. Staff can be very rushed sometimes because of the crowd. Would recommend this place as the best restaurant for Cambodian food in RI.

Dan Soley

Excellent prices and serving sizes. Great food. The soups are especially great deals, especially the to go.

summer J

Nice place , nodels are excellent. I think it’s the best thi restaurant in RI that I have tried

viviana Albizu

Great food. On a busy weekend is better to get takeouts if you really hungry. If not wait in the line the great thing about this restaurant is that you could bring your own liquor and beer which is amazing and the service is amazing also they treat you like family

Elizabeth Xavier

This is the only restaurant that I know that doesn't bring everyone's food out at the same time. My parents got their food 20min ago but I'm still waiting. The food is good but not the service

Christa Bohan

I got take out from here and everything came out perfectly, it survived the long ride home. It was fast and the employees were super helpful and friendly

Knud Hellested

Megan Stein

The food is pretty good here. not the best but ok

Best Casual spot in Providence, BYOB is an obvious plus. Don’t go without getting the crispy garlic wings!

West Saiede Hanover

Definitely go here. Won't disappoint. BYOB

Barry J O'Connor

The food is good, but the outside of the restaurant needs some TLC.Trash on the sidewalk, hire someone to pick it up. PRESENTATION GOES A LONG WAY ,YOUR CUSTOMER'S DESERVE BETTER

Lisa Gallant

30 years later and it's still one of my favorite restaurants in Providence. A+

Rayhan Reyes

One of the best places to get Cambodian, Thai Vietnamese, and Chinese food! Highly recommend to try everything on the menu for each dish has all unique depth of flavors that are just mouth watering and simply exquisite

Geena H

Very pleasant, great food..Waiter very nice and friendly playful.

Arnold Dominguez

one of the Waiters was very funny , very good food

Jeanne Maggiacomo

As always the food and service were exceptional!

Halona Mauricio

One of my family's favorite places to eat. Food is consistently good. Menu is extensive and there is plenty to choose from if you're a meat eater or not. This place can get real busy at times and it may take a little longer to get seated and get your order, but be patient because it will be worth the wait. I like the chicken nime chow, garlic ginger pea pod leaves, ginger beef and the crispy thai chicken wings, just to name a few.

Carlos Buttaci

Excellent price-quality, the personal are very friendly. I reccomend it!!!

Benjamin Potrykus

Apsara on Public is consistently great! Big portions for short money, nice staff, pretty quick service. Plan ahead on holidays, as they can get pretty busy with pickup orders. Try the crispy shrimp rolls + get a bubble tea!

Aina Montano

I've passed here so many times I can't even count and boy do I regret not enjoying this place sooner. I had Singapore noodles which were cooked to perfection. The pancake was crispy yet moist inside and the beef teriyaki was bomb

Azenace

If you want some good Cambodian food, you have to try this place. It has been around for years. They do not serve alchohol but you are allowed to bring in your own. It is a okay size which means it can get packed and busy at times. The portions are big and the prices are not that expensive.

Matt Hull

This place has been around for a long time. It’s always something that people know about or frequent. It’s not the fanciest place in the world, nor is it the most easily accessible, as parking can be a hassle if they are very busy. But the food is always consistent, and the prices are very good. Most of the dishes are very filling, almost too much for any one person to finish. The best way to eat here, would be to share your food. Of course, if you don’t like to share, that’s fine, but expect some left overs to take home. They have a good mix of different Asian cuisines available. Some pretty standard fare that you’ll most likely recognize, as well as some things you may not, I’ve traveled all over Asia, and there have been a few dishes that I’ve not found anywhere else, other than their country of origin, at this restaurant. The set menus they have for lunch specials are huge. They are priced very well for the amount of food you receive. On of my favorites here is their mango chicken. I’ve not seen it anywhere else in the area, and it’s delicious.

Margo Belisle

Absolutely amazing! I got the crispy chicken and eggplant satay (and I don’t even like egg plant) and this dish was AMAZING!! So much flavor and not greasy! Chicken were small and easy to eat. The fried rice was

Shanelle Fernandez

The food is amazing as are the prices. Paul is such a great waiter. This is a busy place so wait times can be long on the weekends and lunch time. It is BYOB which is a plus. I too a star off because the lady at the front desk can be a bit rude sometimes.

Brittany Dorrance

Amazing food, definitely my favorite restaurant. The prices are great, the small wait is always worth it. I recommend Singapore noodles with shrimp and the sweet and sour soup (ask for fresh chili peppers on the side for some heat... An awesome recommendation from a server).

Yonatan Novario Ady

It's cheap, but tasty. Service also really good. Worth every penny

Danielle A

The food is very good. But there is a usual wait. Food is always hot and fresh never been disappointed here.

Erika B.

DON"T expect 5 star service or a Manhattan atmosphere. EXPECT phenomenal food at a great price. This place never fails. I LOVE Apsaras. I highly recommend you pay a visit. You can bring your own wine :)

Jean-Pierre M.

Food was pretty good, service was okay. They handed me my bill before I got my food, I think they thought I was loitering and wanted me to leave. A few minutes later they brought my food and someone else took the bill back.

Thomas Smyth

Don't let the neighborhood distract you from this destination restaurant. Parking is easy and the food is worth it. Even those of us inexperienced in Cambodian cuisine can tell this is the real deal.

Rock Jocelyn

Favorite Asian place to eat in all of RI. Public street place has bigger portions, lower prices, and better quality than the Hope St version Exceptional menu choices with a variety of dishes from various parts of Asia. Food consistency is always outstanding. I Love their BeBong as well as their Eggplant Satay adding fried tofu. We have yet to have a bad meal or exceptional service!

Wenyjim valerio

The price is very good. I don't like that cups and mugs were dirty the day I went there.

Beverly Mills

Food freshly cooked and amazing as always!

Nancy Worthen

I always love Apsara. I had ginger chicken combo, which was delicious! Next time, something with lemon grass!

Thomas Silvia

Great food and great prices. Never disappointed.

Kerri-Jo Patterson

The food is delicious!! I always get take out

Norberto Echevarria

Really good food you should try it

Andrew Heinemann

Very busy and the place was kind of small but it was worth the wait! We had a party of seven, with no reservations, and we only had to wait about 30 minutes. The menu is massive, the food was outstanding, and the portions are huge! Service was prompt and the appetizers came out very quickly, followed by the entrees shortly thereafter. Hot and delicious! By the way, it's a BYOB restaurant, so if you want beer or wine with your meal, bring it with you. I'll definitely eat here again!

Eric Veien

Love this place! Hadn't been there since my son was born 9 years ago and it's the same. Hugh amount of delicious food for very reasonable prices. I like the ambience too, especially given the neighborhood.

Mark M.

The place was pretty small inside and fairly noisey during lunch time. The service was okay. But, the food was great!! I got the Mongolian Beef with an egg roll. The beef was soft and mildly spicy which was nice.

Nathan Marshall

Good food, fast moving pace

sokunroath tan

Great foods and okay pricing

Bruce Bouchard

We went at lunch on a Thursday and was busy. They sat us in 15 min. 6 people. Food came out and quickly. I love this place. I need one in Florida.

S Cast

The best nim chow!

Debra Dziekiewicz

Best spicy chicken wings ever! Great flavorful dishes, reasonable prices, and nice servers!

Nikki Larkin

Best of everything. Nime Chow, Crab Rangoons, Wings, Curry Rice Noodle Soup...They give you so much food. Servers are always friendly, prices are great. Better to dine in than take out. My only gripes are that I've had a few incorrect orders via takeout and the contaiers for takeout are super wasteful. Apsara is a staple!

Kristen Dexter

Fabulous Pad Thai, Thai pineapple fried rice, and natang :)

tolulope ademoye

My family favorite Asian restaurant. Apsara food is amazing, inexpensive and tasty.

Charles R

Awesome food. Love the soups!

Jay

Love this place!!! Damn it’s good! Just gets really crowded on weekends!! And it’s BYOB! Bring your own boos!!!

M Fofana

Love this place but had to give 4 stars because 1 time I got fried chicken take out for my mom and it was so dry and just not edible. It made me look like a liar when all I do is say how awesome the food is. That was my only bad experience.

Howard Schaffer

Good food very reasonable prices

Nateisha Gordon

I had a pineapple fried rice delicious. I love the fresh pineapple with the fresh peppers and onions sliced so nice and neat And the flavoring is awesome not salty just rights.

Michael Ellis

My first time here so I am only giving it 4 stars but it really is very good. If the next visit goes as well then I will add the last star. Great selection of dishes; fish, seafood, pork, ,beef, chicken and vegetarian. Huge portions so you will have tomorrow's lunch! Very reasonable prices and open, friendly atmosphere.

Tim Tietze

The food is always delicious. nice quantity inexpensive the wait staff is very helpful they seem to want to make you happy

Mark

A diamond in the rough. Awesome, fresh Asian foods. Love the lady who takes the to go orders!

Timothy Killilea

Coming here on New Year's Eve was amazing, because it was one of the only places open, and it was voted best of Rhode Island in 2018. The take out was crowded and the tables were full. The staff, though, were a finely tuned machine, cranking out delicious plates full of food The concept was interesting, built around the traditional eating style of the restaurant's owners. Each table had a plate of food for each seat that was occupied at the table. The food is then shared. The menu had options that included some gluten free items, so be aware that their allergen awareness is on point. Feel free to ask away, though, the staff is awesome at customer service!

endro yono

If you are from Indonesia, better order one for two people. Taste like your home

Rachael Peden

A bit noisy, but the food was really good, ESPECIALLY for the price (two apps, two entrees and two Thai teas came to about $27 including tax). The staff was super friendly and helpful in recommending something new (the satay stir-fried noodles are a new fave). Also the best basic pad thai I've found in RI so far; the sauce wasn't thick or too peanut-heavy. Writing about it is making me hungry... Excuse me, I need to go order some to pick up.

Kathleen Wilson

Excellent food, nice variety of Asian dishes, really good deal on lunch specials. Especially like the chicken & shrimp w pineapple, tomatoes & onion. Tofu and veggies is great also.

Rana Prathap

Absolutely amazing food. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the lemongrass chicken.

deborah leong

Visited half a dozen times. Ordered different things each time. Never had an average dish. Everything very flavorful. Very consistent portion sizes and quality of food. Equally consist is the customer service - exceptional! Best Asian restaurant! Only drawback - not enough parking and the open restroom door near the restaurant entrance.

Laura Rijo

Awesome food, affordable prices, good portion size and great atmosphere. Every time I visit the place is packed and with reason. One of the best spots Providence has to offer, and definitely a locals favorite.

justina fermin

The food is delicious!!! The portions are phenomenal. Staff is courteous. Fantastic place!!!

Pat Bradford

This place was packed, and great, and REALLY PACKED. But it was a very good time. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food portions were large and delicious. And BYOB to a dinner place, that serves family style... That's just an excellent combination.

Jasmine Mendez

excellent Cambodian and Pan Asian food jam packed with flavor. Any choice of wings are good and my personal favorite is the fried rice with crispy shrimp black pepper.

Kelvin V

Wanda Metts

Had my Birthday Day Party/Dinner.

Pearl Hanson

Best VEGGIE rice in Providence RI. Great Nime Chow. The Staff is professional courteous and most are significantly respectful. The owner showed me personal consideration by reiterating that he appreciates all his customers. And I …

Carmen Santana

Grat food but very long waits as the restaurand is allways full. Thats how good tbat place is.

Dashira Torres

Food is delicious I would give them a five with no hesitation but the fact that the customer service sucks makes me give them a three. The lady that answer the phone is super RUDE and never can understand anything (I have a perfect English) she even hang up on me. I love their food and always tell all my friends to go there but if I keep getting this kind of experience every time I call imma stop going there and recommending them. APSARA you can do better you guys have excellent FOOD.

Rochelle Lee

Unbelievable menu selections, excellent service and the best SE Asian dishes in RI. Very attentive staff. If you're a foodie, you will enjoy!

CurioCity Shop

NoWay Mindy T.v

Great place! Food is fresh and amazing! If you are ordering take out it's best to call before you go in. Takeout wait is like 20-30min wait time. Very busy restaurant. Very clean and in order.

Chloe Marshall

Great place to eat! Super cheap and huge portion sizes. Always busy, with limited parking. Our food took a little long to come out, but was totally worth it. Huge variety of options that can suit everyone’s needs.

Alaina Bart

Food was good. Place is a bit run down. Service a little slow.

Melissa M

I love Aspara’s so the fact that the following happened to me is very disappointing: I recently ordered take out and found a long, crunchy and disgusting piece of hair cooked into my veggie fried rice. They need to be more careful, ensure that employees are wearing hair nets and following health and safety regulations... needless to say, I will most likely never be returning. Sorry not so sorry.

Jorge Mejia

Always love to go there.

Jim A

Dare I say the best nime chow in the state..probably further. I have been INFATUATED for 23 years with every offering they serve. You will be too!

A. S. Silvia

Always great food.
