Every experience we have had at Nam Khong has been great. The authentic Laotian and Singaporean food is delicious, and a welcome change from the typical other Asian restaurants. Their spicy dishes are great, however they won't make them "extra spicy", but will give you extra spices on the side. This is due to bad interactions with past customers trying to get free food when the "extra spicy" food that they ordered was too spicy for them. Overall, great place to eat and extremely friendly staff. Absolutely recommended. read more

Owner and daughter are super nice, very friendly and will answer any questions on the menu. I went with five entrees for three people takeout and two were favorites. Brussel sprouts were excellent and a must do, even if you're not a huge fan you must try them grilled or fried. Nothing is really spicy hot even though I asked for explosion level. Food was good for Thai... not as good as I expected though so I can't give it 5 stars for taste reasons. Pricing was good for the portions, lasted a couple days. Tom Soup was decent. Shrimp pad Thai ok, lots of shrimp, but not a lot of sauce so ended up being all noodles with minimal taste after the shrimp was gone. Chicken was decent sized and plentiful in all my orders. I think it's a great place for starter Thai foodies... and I hope they do well cause they're so friendly and actually speak English! There are 3 other Thai places within a mile of each other in Westerly that have a little more zip in their flavoring. Give it a shot at eating in and at least you can have a conversation with the owner in English! read more

Friendly and old school. Homemade and cozy. Ordered half of the menu$$$$ :D everything was incredible. Could have never expected the quality or quantity that was given. If I didn't know better. I'd have thought I was in Taiwan. read more

Here for the first time today. I understand they opened a month ago. Family from Pawcatuck. I hope they do well, not the greatest of locations. Found it to be EXCELLENT! We had the appetizer, Roasted Brussels Sprouts which was excellent and not at all spicy. And also had the LUNCH PORTION of Pineapple Fried Rice. Also EXCELLENT! A very generous portion for $6.95 and a nice combination of ingredients and a good flavor. What is especially nice these days are generous and chunky pieces of chicken. (not shaved pieces as in some other places) That's all we had today but so glad to have a great Thai place nearby. Thai Thong near the RR station also good but very happy here. Closer. The owners were very gracious and the place is very neat. We hope they do well, not the greatest of locations. You won't be disappointed here! It only saddens me that I'm 3.5 miles from here...so I'm out of the delivery range. Oh well. read more

This has my favorite fresh Thai spring rolls in the area but I have to say the drunken noodles are not as great as corner Thai. Bam Khong is seriously good stuff. read more

Small and excellent mom and pop shop that serves delicious Thai food. We were very surprised to find khao soi in Westerly Rhode Island, and even more surprised how delicious it was. Check this place out if you're in the area - it's unfortunately only open Thursday through Sunday but it's worth it. Very friendly service and the food delicious. Looking forward to trying more dishes! read more

Came here for the second time today with my fiancé. Everything was incredible. Service was excellent. We ordered Thai teas, fried Brussel sprouts, pineapple fried rice, mango curry, and finally the Khoa Soi. Everything was absolutely delicious and served promptly after ordering. They are a small business with not many servers so they do the best they can but in my opinion everything here is on point. We have had Thai food all over both coasts of the US and this place is hands down top 5 for us! read more

Nam Khong - Khoa soi is unbelievable. I'd eat this everyday! - Laotian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Delicious food. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely go here. And super friendly staff

If you are anywhere near this place, highly recommend. Good as any great place in Queens NY or other ethnic areas. Have been to Laos and Southeast Asia multiple times, and folks, this is the real deal! read more

hands-down, the best Thai food in southern Rhode Island and southeast Connecticut. Authentic and delicious.

This restaurant is such a hidden gem!! We decided to try it last night and I'm sooo glad we did!! We ordered take out and got the fried brussel sprouts, crispy chicken wings, Laotian Style Pho, and Khao Soi. All four were AMAZING!!! It was seriously so good, we ordered the Pho and Khao Soi again for take out a second night in a row tonight. If you like Thai and Laotian food I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I saw the review about Brussel sprouts I had to try them. Amazing! Very good food and I'll definitely be back, thank you so much!

STILL the BEST! I'm back & forth creating my cozy Little dream abode and THIS IS the BOMB! Fresh, delicious, gracious owners who take pleasure in your taste experience!!! A TRUE Mom & Pop restaurant!!! He serves- she cooks! And the best food too!!!!! A tiny place that serves Big Taste! Love it! Always coming back for more and when I bring friends, they Love it as well !!!! THIS is a delight on everything that's worthy of serving food hands down! Nam Never disappoints! Always a REAL Experience on food, service, kindness, and having every inch of a perfect meal with courtesy reached to expectations above!!!! A True Feast served in a kitchen that's like visiting their home. Sorry to hear of this 1 star review by someone who clearly has no remorse for those who deal with nonsense from those who cannot put others in their shoes. They have had people wanting extra spicy and when they make those executed decisions- these people complain it's too spicy and want their money back. Completely not fair !!! That's food wasted, time, effort and money ! Why should they take that chance when they work hard to keep you happy. ~~ no spice, well okay but Spicy ~~ make it spicy yourself! They have things to give you to make it spicy.... AND if you like spicy food, go out and get your condiments, spices and other things you like. There are plenty of options out there but to blame them...... not cool. They work Hard! They are Always Polite! AND..... it doesn't hurt to give a quick peek in the window to his wife to show your thankfulness. Give compliments to make people feel better and thank them! If they please you then let them know!!!!!! Kindness goes a long way~ so does consideration! Life is about consideration and thinking of the whole picture..... They have plenty of repeat customers and new ones willing to become part of the restaurant family. Sorry that you see differently. I know I'm ready and willing!!!!! read more

I'm a regular here. I've tried quite a few different menu items and have enjoyed everything. I normally don't get the same meal too often but someone recommended the Khao Soi a while back, and I can't stop ordering it. read more

Nam Khong has become our go-to Thai place. Amazingly accurate "it'll be ready in x minutes" estimates - we do a lot of call-ahead for pickup and it is already ready right when they said. Haven't sat down and eaten in the restaurant, but their service for call-in and pickup is friendly and professional. As a vegetarian, I appreciate their range of tofu options - in my experience I've received a good amount of tofu each time. Entrees are good enough for one person to spread over two meals (most of the time - I'm occasionally so ravenous that one entry hardly seems sufficient for a single meal). Thai iced tea is on point! read more

Excellent food. I have been meaning to eat here for 3-4 months now. I was shopping nearby and decided to give Nam Khong a try for dinner. This is before I read the Yelp reviews. I had four spring rolls for an appetizer. Very well made. The ingredients were very fresh and typical of the spring rolls I have eaten in Asia. Next came the main course...I forget the name, but I believe it was a traditional Thai dish. Chicken, fresh mushrooms, green peppers and carrots in a slightly spicy sauce. This was served with steamed rice. This rice was different. Much softer...was it steamed longer? I don't know, but no complaints at all. The service was excellent and my total bill before tax was a little over $21. This included a Thai ice tea with unlimited refills. I'll eat at Nam Khong again. Very good food. Great location. Good prices. Friendly staff. read more

Fresh, delicious food expertly prepared-Specialty Laotian and Thai. Great Pho and other dishes. As good as it gets. My favorite hidden gem In Westerly. I love the Duck Noodle Pho (which is simply a giant bowl of of wonderful broth, vegetables and crispy duck served traditional style with lime,sprouts and basil. The Brussels sprout appetizer is to die for. There are 2 other Thai places in town. They are better known but Nam Khong is a cut abo read more

Best local restaurant I've eaten at. Excellent food, very friendly family run restaurant with dishes hailing from Laos and Thailand (even some hybrid dishes!), simple and very clean. Lots of dishes on the menu (rice based, noodle based) and very reasonable prices. The cook has been preparing dishes, professionally, for 30 years. Nice new restaurant and highly recommend. read more

Nam Khong - Nam Khong with beef was excellent. It's a Laotian sauce with basil and vegetables. Light and very fresh. Recommend!! - Laotian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Ordered takeout from this place. I got the pho and the crab rangoon. The pho was amazing and the crab rangoon was homemade and delicious. You could really tell the effort and work they put into the food to make it fresh and delicious. Want to try delivery next. read more

Amazing food, I always order the mango curry and a ton of appetizers! It is slightly expensive, however when we go we order lots of food. On average we usually spend about 70-100$. It is worth it! Plus they are always very nice! read more

They have Khao Soi! The soup was fantastic, would have preferred an egg noodle over rice noodles, but thats only a preference. I loved the addition of fried shallots and the portion was huge (i got two meals out of it). It brought me back to my time spent in Chiang Rai. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu! read more

Nam Khong - Laotian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Delicious! Huge portions! Try the roasted brussle sprouts, incredible!

Great Southeast Asian food. The taste is nearly Thai, but a little different. While you are there, try the best beer in SE Asia, Beerlao. If you don't know what to order the owner's suggestion in the menus. It is good and it gives you a starting point for Lao food. read more

This restaurant is simple and profound. It's next to an Allstate in the middle of a strip mall but don't let this deter you. I was the last person to eat at Khoa Soi tonight and the food was phenomenal. Every once in a while a meal is more than just a meal and it's impact is nurturing in a way that is almost hard to describe. I had taken a drive tonight to the Rhode Island coast from Boston to clear my head and find a tranquil beach to stargaze - this place popped up on yelp. When I sat down the owner had such a welcoming presence and clearly took pride in his restaurant. I was the only one there (it was close to 10pm and him and his wife were about to eat themselves). When I asked him what to order, he mentioned the khoa Soi, and said that he himself ate it almost every day. The dish was masterful, the kind of dish that makes you shake your head in disbelief even 10-15 bites in. Prepared by his wife, with a recipe brought over from their home country of Laos, it was unlike anything I've ever tasted and really divine. As I finished eating the owner thanked me multiple times for coming in, we spoke about the dish's origin, and he gave me some tips about how to garnish the dish next time. I left replenished and grateful. It was a special meal and a special moment. Stomach and heart full, I went to watch hall beach and laid out next to the waves and the stars feeling totally content. Thank you. read more

I'm disappointed to say that Nam Khong has terrible customer service. This was my second time ordering from here and was excited for the take out that I ordered the first time. When we got it home, the seafood wasn't fresh in our dishes and I got the wrong broth in my pho. I ordered the "very spicy" on all dishes; however none had spice. We called the restaurant and told them about the order and talked to Bonnie. She said that she was sorry about the order and that they would comp the order next time we were in because we live 40 minutes from Westerly. A month later, we called to put in the order and we told the owner about the situation and he told us that Bonnie doesn't work there any longer and he wasn't going to honor what she said. We asked that he at least give us a discount on the order and he said, "No." We will not go back to this place because the food is inconsistent and the customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. read more

Easily one of the best Laotian/Thai meals I've had. Great price, very friendly, quick takeout! Will be back.
