Chicken Pad Thai was great. Close to the bay. Employees were friendly and helpful. My second time there this week.

Pork Pad Thai and Beef Drunken Noodles
Stephanie L.

Best Thai food I've had in Rhode Island so far! The spicy chicken wings were absolutely delicious, smothered in sauce, just the perfect amount of spice, and somehow the coating on the chicken was crispy under the sauce. I really enjoy a zingy pad Thai and I was prepared to be disappointed when it came without a fresh lime wedge to squeeze on top. While I do think I would have enjoyed a fresh lime wedge, the pad Thai didn't actually really need it and had really good balance of flavors. My BF got the drunken noodles (** spice) and it had a good amount of heat. He cleared his plate and said it was probably the best Thai he's had in a while. They have their own small parking lot, which I was surprised about, and there's a decent amount of street parking in front of the restaurant and on the adjacent side streets.

Clean, casual dining area

I only come here when I'm in the area since I live in Providence County, but I love that it's right across the street from the water. Great location and service, casual, low-key setting. After my husband and I dropped off our daughter at a residential summer camp in Bristol just a short distance from Tong Phoon, we ordered for pickup via phone, parked our car in their parking lot to the side, and went for a walk on the pier while we waited for our food. I ordered the Drunken Noodles w/ chicken, no eggs, medium spicy and Thai iced tea, both well-made. Hubby wasn't hungry so he didn't order anything, but he also loved what I got after tasting it. I came here a few months ago with my DD and her friend. Service and quality of food has been pretty consistent.

What a cute Thai restaurant! Please support this local business! The atmosphere here is very warm and relaxing. The family that runs this business is SO incredibly sweet and friendly - they have even ran to the door to open it for me walking in. The food is extremely delicious and fresh - My favorite dishes are their fried rice, pad thai and tom yum soup. Some nice-to-knows: The restaurant is BYOB. The restaurant has a limited parking lot (less than 10 spaces), but I have never had a parking issue!

The presentation of everything was next level and truly perfect. The details on the dishes and cups and also the way the items were plated were the prettiest I have ever seen at any place. The attention to detail is very easy to see. The staff here goes above and beyond to make the experience of each customer super special. It was truly magical. We were in awe of everything that came out--- the teapot, the baskets, the little touches on plates and drinks. It was all super unique and just special. You can tell every member of the Tong D staff has pride in Thai restaurant. I have not been here before, but I will certainly be back. I loved the food, the drink, the ambiance, the people---everything! I cannot suggest this spot enough.

Perfect place for a special event. The apps, desserts, sautéed udon, duck noodle soup... so good. The choices of tea are plentiful! We tried cherry blossom, brown rice tea, and an iced peach tea. All so so good! My favorite dessert was sticky rice with a sweet sauce (coconut cream?) and chopped mango. I can't wait to come back!

Surprisingly good food for a place I thought was closed down…read more The good: Hot and sour soup- I don't think many people come to sit down to eat. There's only a few tables but I had some time to kill to charge my car next for so sat and ate a hot and sour soup. Delicious! I considered ordering another but knew I already had a to-go order. Oh, a small is not small. The nice woman brought out the bag of food to-go and when I picked it up, I noticed how heavy it was. It was probably close to 5 lbs of food. Now the rice made up a large portion of the weight but the other place I've been going to is like 1 lb total. I don't remember what it was called but essentially general tso with vegetables and shrimp. Really good too and I have leftovers too. I also like that they start cooking once you order. It's not trays of food being kept warm, the bottom of the to-go bag was hot. Not like burn you hot but not like I can go to my car and eat this. The other (nothing was bad): It's next to a Cumberland farms that has electric car charging. I needed to charge my car and needed dinner but as I drove in, it looked dark inside and I thought it was closed down. I almost went up the road to get take-out and come back to charge but saw someone walking out with takeout. The building looks dated. There's pictures on Yelp or Google from 7 years ago and it looks the same but worn down. I don't blame them though. Like I said, I don't think most people come to sit. The 20 minutes I was there, they did have a steady flow of people coming in for takeout orders. Oh, the food came out quick and was only there 20 minutes because I chose to(should be in the good section). All in all it was a good find in an area I've been looking for somewhere to eat while my car charges, I'll be coming back.

very good to eat and their sevrice is good and is really fast and it has nice music to go along…read morewith the nice environments

I've tried Mindy's many times and appreciate their later than surrounding restaurants hours (why…read moreeverything closes so early in a college town/area will never make sense to me!) Their food is always delicious - we've loved the Nime Chow appetizer, sushi, and noodle dishes. One thing that makes me take a star off is the very strong cleaning product smell - we've only ever gone later at night so assumed it was like this in the last hour or two before they close, but perhaps it's all day long. It's so strong it starts to give me a headache, and an employee started mopping right near where I was eating which made the smell even worse (isn't that a big no no in general??) They really need to dilute their products per what I'm sure are the instructions on the bottle telling them to do so, or use something else. I feel awful for the employees having to work with it or be around it for extended periods. It seems most people do takeout here, so maybe they remember the strong cleaning smell and just take it to go. Sometimes the line to pick up takeout goes through the whole restaurant and puts me on edge if I'm trying to eat in the dining room. Service is typically pretty friendly and quick, but at least once I've been here when the dining room was slammed and only one server was working. She was crushing it, but it was still a ton of juggling and making people wait that wasn't great for the experience. I tried the Vegetarian Ramen today, having never tried their ramen before. No chopsticks were provided, so I used a fork and knife, which felt a little wrong. It was pretty good but a little lacking in flavor and seasoning to be honest. There was only one piece of tofu - it was a decent size, but similarly priced ramen with tofu at other restaurants always has more like 3 pieces, so that felt a little lacking. I was a little underwhelmed today but do typically enjoy their food.

It's consistently very good, even though we often trek from our hometown to Bristol, Newport, or Providence for dining. Portsmouth has slim pickings when it comes to quality restaurants--15 Point and Fieldstone's only come to mind. Rocco's used to be on that list, but new ownership makes it a bit of a question mark right now. This place always delivers: a solid menu with a strong emphasis on seafood, a long cocktail list with prices still reasonable for the area ($12-$14), and reliably good service. Portions are generous and the food is consistently well prepared. We split the bacon-wrapped scallops to start, then had duck and a seafood pasta for entrées--both excellent. Highly recommended. And when the weather cooperates, the outdoor dining right on the water is a real bonus.
