Authentic Southeast Asian cuisine featuring crispy, salty and savoy dishes. This restaurant is unassuming from the outside. But as you enter the air lingers with homemade flavors and spices. The tables are filled with traditional dishes on large family style plates. Some stars including the tom yum soup and beef loc lac. These can tend to be water downed versions in other restaurants, but the bold and fresh flavors really come through. The spicy hot thai wings are double crunchy with a kick of spiciness. Offerings also include sweet deserts drinks along the lines of bubble tea for at the table dining or to go. The staff are very kind and patient and the food is served quickly. A great place for small meals or party gatherings.

We travel from boston all the way here just to eat here at least once a year. Casual spot. Excellent food, good pricing and generous portions! They are always busy! Crispy chicken wings: 5/5. Crispy flavorful. And my favorite the flats only! Cambodian delicate soup: 2/5 I thought it was tooo flavorful. Something to share with a bunch of other people Cambodian egg rolls: 5/5 only thing is I wished they were thicker Nine chow: wasn't a fan of the dipping sauce. I prefer Vietnamese style spring rolls Stir fried udon Shanghai style: 5/5 best udon stir fry I have ever had Stir fried lo mein: 5/5 best lo mein I ever had. Wished I knew their secret ingredient in it! Free Street parking around the restaurant. We typically have no trouble finding parking!

This was my first time at Aspara Asian Restaurant and will definitely not be my last. I came here on a Sunday afternoon around 1:00pm. The parking lot is quite small with only a few spots and there are some spots where cars block each other in which is not the best. We walked in and were seated right away. Hot tea in a kettle and ice waters were bought to us. The restaurant is quite spacious and I really like the decor. The menu had so many options (Thai, Cambodian, Vietnamese & Chinese cuisine) and we took a few minutes to figure out what we wanted. We started with the nime chow which are Cambodian spring rolls or Vietnamese summer rolls. It had Thai basils, beansprouts, lettuce, shrimps, and steamed noodle wrapped with rice paper and was served with house original special peanut sauce. All the components were fresh and it was very refreshing to eat. I ordered the stir fried drunken noodle with shrimp and my husband ordered the Vietnamese bee boong. His entree came out first and mine came out 20 minutes later. I was thinking they might have forgotten, but the restaurant was extremely busy with takeout and catering orders. When I took my first bite of the drunken noodle, I thought to myself "WOW!" Hands down this was the best drunken noodle I've had in RI and maybe in NY. The drunken noodles had really good flavoring, the wide flat rice noodle was smooth and the dish had plenty of peapods, broccoli, carrots, and onion. This was our first time having Vietnamese bee boong which is cold soft wheat noodle with fresh vegetables, Thai basil, cucumbers, beansprouts topped with onion, scallion, beef, nime fried (fried spring roll), coconut milk, and ground peanut. Apsara's peanut sauce came on the side. Both entrees were a good portion and were $9.75 each. Though my food took a while to come out, service was top notch and the food was really good. The quality and portion is definitely worth the price. There were good turnover of customers and tables. I'll also park on the street next time to avoid the parking lot. When we returned to our car, there were cars parked slanted and blocked our way out. We waited a few minutes for the drivers to move their cars. I am looking forward to the next time I go to Aspara Asian Restaurant!

The portions here are huge. We've done both take out and dine in, and the portions are generous either way. We ordered the pad Thai, steamed dumplings, bbq ribs, and some soup. We had a ton of leftovers. All of it was delicious, but I will say that the ribs were a little overdone (tough to chew, but still tasty). This place is a great choice whether you want something to go or food to dine in. It's our first choice for pad Thai. It's also BYOB, so take advantage!

Real Cambodian food, tasty and inexpensive. Simple ambience, friendly staff. About a hundred various items in the menu. Rice, eggplant, seafood-chicken-pork-beef, lots of choices. Lunch menu on w/e! Worth the 25 miles trip.

Ever since relocating to this area I've been on the hunt for a solid Thai restaurant. I decided to give Apsara a go due to the reviews, and here's my take. The location is kind of in an off the path area, but I got lucky and got a good parking spot. It seems as though there is 2 different entrances, but they're not so clearly marked. Once you enter, you are welcomed by a nicely decorated interior and the staff were all friendly and attentive. They do have an extensive menu, but to play it safe for our first visit, we got the most popular items. When we were seated, we were immediately brought some hot tea in a kettle and some ice waters. The Nime Chow was so refreshing and the sauce was very unique. A watery fish sauce mix with crumbled peanuts, it complemented the fresh rolls very nicely. 5/5 The spring rolls were also amazing! I loved how thin it was and due to that there was an extra crunch factor. My husband wished they were bigger though! Haha 5/5 Tofu Pad Thai: Wasn't the best I've had. They have non traditional ingredients in there like cabbage,mushrooms, broccoli and baby corn? I prefer my pad Thai to be a saucier fish sauce base. One plus is that the portion size was HUGE. I couldn't even eat a 1/4 of it. 3/5 Beef Mongolian Grill: It has nicely charred onion slices and the sauce/flavor was great! My husband wished there was more beef and less onions though. My only feedback is to use less oil. It felt heavy after awhile.. 4/5 One more thing. They have a single stall unisex bathroom by one of the entrances and it's FREEZING in there, even the water. My husband commented that it seemed like an after thought from the restaurant.. All in all we had a pleasant experience here and can't wait to come back and try some other dishes. I would like to try their Pho. It is a budget friendly restaurant and our total meal before tip was $34!

Today was a great meal at Apsara!! Usually I would say that the service needed some attention or a food item was just good but today the service and food proved to be awesome. The only thing that is needed is some background music. It got super quiet - more than usual but if there was background music it would have created a better atmosphere. But overall excellent today.

My wife and I were in Rhode Island for a quick trip. I didn't know there was a Cambodian community in RI but it was a pleasant suprise when I came across Aspara Restaurant in restaurant search. I ordered some takeout including their fried chicken wings and Cambodian beef soup. While I'm not Cambodian, I have several friends whom are and have experience eating Cambodian cuisine back home, and I feel like this food was pretty authentic. I liked it so much I made a second takeout order during our trip, including the Lemongrass Sweet & Sour Soup, and again I was pleased with my order.
