Truly. Some of the best food I’ve ever had. I will absolutely be coming back. I didn’t realize that they were closing when we came in but we weren’t rushed at all and the service was amazing. The food is stand out, my favorite was the Thai Salad with shrimp and we all loved the Apsara Special Fried Rice. I can’t wait for this to be a regular stop for me :) Would love love love for them to consider using Too Good To Go!

I don't know what the heck to this restaurant, it used to be a staple of Cambodian and Vietnamese cuisine in Providence. I have been a long time customer since the doors opened back in the mid 2000's. I'm sorry to say this, but over the last few years, the quality of the food has been on a steep decline, they changed the business quite a bit during COVID to a more to-go oriented service and I feel like the quality of the food has just gotten disappointing. I used to order from here several times a year and up to once or twice a month in 2021. I feel like in mid-2022 they really just fell flat. I believe new owners took over and everything kind of fell apart. None of the dishes are as good as the used to be, the ingredients don't seem very fresh anymore, bland, improperly cooked, and just about everything I have received from this restaurant over the last two years has been a total let down. The service has also suffered and there is usually only one wait staff member in the dining room and they aren't as attentive (not a big deal for this style of restaurant, but I still feel it's worth mentioning and I could easily overlook it if the food was still up to par). This used to be my go-to for fast tasty food on a budget, I honestly doubt I will return. The original location is still very good and has yet to let me down, I believe the other location on the South side is still owned by the same family, but Palace just isn't the one for me anymore.

wasn't aware there was a new Menu and when I order over the phone wasn't told there was one I went by the online menu so I didn't get the right food, and wasn't offered to exchange it. Your welcome...

I was at work and someone offered me a chicken wing during lunch - it was sooo delicious! In my efforts not to be greedy, I only had one but ran to Apsara the next day to grab my own meal! I ordered the crispy Black pepper wings and scallion pancakes. Both were so great - big enough portions that I split them into two meals. I ate them too fast to even take a picture smh I definitely recommend this place for takeout.

My co-worker and I ordered luncheon specials today. Meat was dry and chewy. Fried rice was awful. Won't go back.

Bummer. One on public street way better.
No descriptions on online menu. No options to put in special requests. Ordered chicken Satay dinner special. Generally comes with peanut (satay…) sauce. Safe bet.
Asked for peanut sauce when I arrived. Was assured there was peanut sauce in the bag. There was not. Went back, got a half gallon of peanut oil instead. Didn’t have it in me to go back again. Will just drive the extra 5 minutes to Public street next time.

This is not the place you're coming to for ambience but, imo, this is where you get the best Asian cuisine in Rhode Island! BYOB. $$. Fantastic food. We come here for all our events/bdays...etc

First it was very busy and there was only 1 waiter for all the tables which really hurts the service. I used to come here all the time but I will never return after today. I had to stand in a line to tell the person at the front to get tea for my table because I could not get ahold of my server. I wait to get my tea, then it comes and when I pour it I see a ROACH in there. A roach. I let the server know and at this point I was thinking about leaving and should’ve but stayed because I had never had a bad experience in all the times I’ve eaten here. I also asked the server if she could have my food come together as in the rice wings etc. she couldn’t even satisfy that request and tells me “I’ll try” just to bring out my beef teriyaki cold and let it sit to get cold some more while I wait for the rest of my food. I asked politely if they could throw they back on the grill. She does so and it comes out somewhat hot. The rice comes and it tastes old and pasty and you can taste all the hard grains. Then best of all they only take off 1 item for having a roach in my drink. While my request of the food wasn’t taken, the roach in my tea, my beef teriyaki cold, and my rice old and hard oh and terrible service. Never Again.

Consistently amazing and authentic food. The menu is filled with so many delicious options. I love love the Cambodian spring rolls and chicken on a stick is all white meat no fat and perfectly seasoned. Waitstaff is very good and ask for the hot tea.
