    Menú (noodle soups)
    David Z.

    Had a hankering for some Thai and heard about this location and decided to give it a go. Street parking available, small dining area with 7-8 tables to accommodate couples or a small group. Service was quick, ordered chicken satay, Thai iced coffee and the spicy chicken pad thai. The satay was fresh, seasoned well and delicious. The pad thai had a great mix of veggies and chicken, but a little less spicy than I would have liked. Overall a great experience with good service and great food! Will be back to try the curry soon!

    Above average asian food for RI standards. Trust other reviews- and get the brussel sprouts, we were happy we did. The glass noodle and duck noodle were good. The khao soi was good but not as authentic and no pickled mustard greens. Only complaint- we went and they were very busy and it seemed like just one guy working - food took forever.

    this is a great location, kind of small inside the gentleman running the place was a little rude, but he seemed to be all by himself . once we got the table and got our menus and were able to order the food came quickly. The appetizers were great and the meals were quickly. Would recommend highly .

    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.

    Hidden gem. The food was deliciously authentic. THAI FOOD LIKE IVE NEVER HAD BEFORE. The vibe was quiet but nice, it's a small location with probably 5 tables, but it feels cozy and welcoming. There is only one server, please be gentle. Our food came out fast and it was fresh. The menu was quite extensive for a small place. Def coming back as much as I can.

    I was very excited to try Champa. Champa serves Lao cuisine or Laotian cuisine and is the national cuisine of Laos. It was my first time having Lao food. The menu has so many different choices for salads, soups, fried rice, noodles, stir-fry, curry, and specialities. There are Thai food and Laotian food. We started with Thai Iced tea. It wasn't too sweet and was really good. For appetizers, we had the Laotian Style Crispy Rolls (4) which was crispy rice paper filled with chicken and mixed vegetables, served with sweet & sour chili sauce. The rolls were very crispy and the roll filling was very full. For entree, I had the Lion City Noodles with beef. This is thin rice noodles stir-fried with Thai spicy sauce, seasoned with curry, carrots, peas, bean sprouts, and baby corn. This dish was delicious, but unfortunately, I did not get any baby corn. I really liked the thin rice noodles and the flavors. The beef was very tender. My husband had the Khao Soi. This is the famous Northern noodles in a delicious mix of light yellow curry, check, ground peanuts, scallions, and fried shallots. He really enjoyed the flavors of his dish and said it was probably the best curry he has ever had. The restaurant is small with a few tables, but it is homey. Service was wonderful and they were very friendly. We told Peter, the owner, that it was our first time having Lao food and he welcomed us. Dishes were very filling and large. We had leftovers for the next day. Price of our meal wasn't bad at all! There is a 3% fee for paying for credit card. Also, there are signs saying the restaurant is no longer BYOB.

    if you love a small, cozy, casual family owned spot with amazing aromas and generous portions of thai and laotian comfort foods then come here and dine in!!! you can take out of course but you'll miss out on warmth and escapism that comes with its home style decor. been a few times now and the main server running the shop is so hospitable. i've been here when it's slammed and packed with a small operation and here when it's quiet, both instances the food is still amazing and i end up with leftovers even if i order minimally. i would love to go on a rainy day and take my time eating each noodle so i'll have to go again soon this wet winter.

    Absolutely love this place! It's taken over what used to be Sawaddee on Hope Street and I gotta tell you, what a nice change. Unfortunately, they didn't update the interior which could use an upgrade but the food is what we are here for. Street parking and the place is small, maybe 6-8 tables so might not be good for larger group dinners. The place boasts as a Lao/Thai restaurant but the owners are Laotion. Truly, I feel you can taste the love they put in their food. They had only been open for a week when we ventured in, we spent a good amount of time speaking with Peter, the owner - he gave us the rundown of his old location in Westerly and how this location was a better commute and the reason for the change. He runs the front of the house while his wife concocts the deliciousness that comes out of the kitchen. You can tell how proud and humble they are and it shows in the product they put forth. We had a plethora of dishes but my favorite was the chicken laab (Laotion chicken salad). Super tasty with perfect balance of salty, sweet and sour and the toasted rice powder was crunchier than I was used to, BUT I loved it! Gave it different textures and consistencies that I wasn't used to but definitely enjoyed. We could've gotten it spicier but wanted to go mild to get a feel for the food first as we know Lao people LOVE spicy! Everything was delicious and you can tell how fresh the ingredients are. And it's silly, but I appreciate that a side of sticky rice comes with your papaya salad, a lot of places charge you extra for it. It's the little things. I've been back once since our initial visit for quick takeout which I ordered the Tom Yum soup - wow! Probably one of the best Tom Yums I've had! We haven't had one bad thing from this place yet! I do notice quite a bit of takeout - I hope the place is here to stay. Do yourself a favor and throw out those Chinese takeout menus for one night and try something new. You won't be disappointed.

Easy access just across the street from PPAC, both table and bar style seating. Very friendly and helpful service as I was quickly seated at bar and provided with some awesome recommendations with the miso salad and ragu.

Good selection of beers and drinks to wash your meal down over conversations with staff or friends. Stop on in for some great noodles in a casual and relaxed atmosphere!

The server said there was really only one option on the menu for vegetarians which is what I ordered. The food is served luke warm and for $15 I'm pretty sure I could have made this same dish at home for much cheaper and probably better. It has a spicy chili oil on the side that you mix in along with the pickled radish which was more salty than pickled tasting. One bunch of noodles wasn't properly cooked and clumped at a section. I consider myself pretty good eating with chopsticks and the slippery noodles proved to be quite difficult to eat. Not a good option if you're on a date and maybe concerned with how you will look eating this dish. Probably the saving grace of the dish was the mushrooms which allowed me to give this place 3 stars. I will not be back to this restaurant. I only ordered a hot water with a lemon for a drink. No lemon was given, only a chipped little cup (pictured), and the restaurant was freezing. I kept my coat on the entire time. The menu is really tiny. I suggest looking at the menu before going and really making sure there is something you want to try before going. Rookie mistake made on my end!

We were sadly in a rush and had to be out by a certain time to catch a show, and our server understood the assignment and got us out on the tight schedule we needed. I'm just sad I had to slurp down my soup so quickly as it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Snow Mountain Ramen - the creamy tofu broth is unlike anything I've had and was so so unique and delicious. I thought about it for at least a week straight after eating it and am still dying to go back to get more. I also got the Iced Rose Matcha drink - $10 felt too pricy for this but I wanted a fun drink and a little caffeine kick - and again the flavors were unique and tasty. Both my friend and I happened to see someone we knew here - it's definitely a popular spot! It was packed on a Saturday night but it was still pretty quick for us to get a table for 2. Being a downtown city restaurant, the tables feel a bit cramped and I was a little too close to the table next to me for comfort - claustrophobics beware (honestly the soup is worth it though!!) Parking is pretty easy in the lot, although Holy crap they need to fix the potholes / harsh drop-off where it meets the street, and it still was not fully plowed many weeks after the big snowstorm (it's a shared lot so not a Y Noodle specific issue, but just saying). The only thing that was unpleasant were the bathrooms - I get it was a busy weekend night, but they reeked of a litter box the second you stepped in, the floor was dirty and very wet with unknown substances, and the Dyson hand dryer is at such a weird, too high level on the wall that it sprayed water in my face. Everything else was a dream, can't wait to go back! Hopefully the bathrooms were just a fluke.

Not pictured was the tonkatsu meal and my pork belly buns (appetizer for meal). I drank the beer+soju pairing which was good. I never had soju before today. It tasted like apple liquor. I wish that our server had communicated that food comes out as it is ready. My meal came out 10 minutes before everyone else's which is awkward. Although this isn't fine dining, I find a sporadic placement of food to be strange because I sat with my food in front of me waiting for everyone else's. Service is not necessarily friendly, but they are attentive.
