A wonderful local Thai food spot with excellent flavors and a warm atmosphere. We enjoyed the halal crispy chicken, vegan red Thai curry, and Pad Thai,each dish was fresh, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. The aroma and authentic taste made the meal memorable. We will go back again soon.

The food here is amazing. It’s flavorful, hot, and just the right amount of spice. The staff takes great care of you. It is definitely not fancy but it is the perfect spot for some comfort Thai food.

From early college year to adulthood this place has been a staple in my life, the food has always been delicious,affordable, and fast! The staff has always been friend and attentive. You can taste the years of tradition,experience,and culture in every sip or bite from the food the cooks create they look like women who have fed families with love in their work. 10/10 if youre looking for the best Thai food in Providence this is my recommendation.

We almost missed this place again — tucked away on the mezzanine level, it is easy to overlook unless the auto rickshaw outside catches your eye or you are specifically looking for it. The windowless, dimly lit setting can feel a little claustrophobic at first, but once the food arrives, that quickly fades into the background.
We had tried Heng Thai about four years ago and had nearly forgotten about it until we spotted it again during graduation weekend. Despite being extremely busy for lunch, the service was excellent — quick, attentive, and friendly throughout.
One thing we really appreciated was the dedicated vegan menu, which makes ordering much easier for vegetarians and vegans. We ordered the Pad Kee Mao with chicken and tofu, Basil Fried Rice with tofu, and Green Curry with chicken. Every dish was flavorful, well-balanced, and properly seasoned. The menu clearly marks spicy dishes — and they genuinely mean it. There is absolutely no need to increase the spice level unless you truly enjoy heat.
Portions were generous, prices were very reasonable, and the food felt like excellent value overall.
The only drawback, if any, is the lack of waiting space when the restaurant gets busy. You may find yourself waiting on the staircase leading up to the entrance or out on the sidewalk along Angell Street.
Overall, this is easily one of the better Thai restaurants we have visited. The next time we are back around Thayer or College Hill, we will definitely be returning to explore more of the menu.

Just as good as street side in Thailand! Got the glass noodle salad and boat noodles- both phenomenal flavour.
The place is nice, quiet, and the lighting was pleasantly dim. The service was great for takeout. I had the rotisserie meal with papaya salad. While the food was sort of delicious, the cook on the chicken was not great. I wonder if the chicken was cooked earlier in the week due to the rubbery texture of it. The chicken was tough and discolored but not dry which is what indicated to me that the cook on it was probably lovely when it was first made but that wasn't when I received it. Unfortunately I paid about $21 for a small portion of steamed rice, papaya salad, and days old roast chicken. I had also mentioned that I don't eat nuts when I ordered (food intolerance not a severe allergy). Had I been severely allergic, I'd have gone into anaphalactic shock on opening the papaya salad. I don't think I'll come back. I wanted to give less stars but I averaged them out based on food, service, and atmosphere. The sister restaurant Jarit Thai Thai is much better.

Tried Heng Thai recently and I’m SO impressed, especially as a vegan. They have a dedicated vegan menu with tons of options, and it made ordering so easy (no stress, no guessing). Everything we tried was super flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Portions were great and the food felt comforting but still really high quality. Service was friendly and quick too.
If you’re vegan (or even just love Thai food), this place is a must-try. Can’t wait to go back and try more from the vegan menu!

Food was okay for most part, but I ordered crispy pad Thai. It had no pad Thai noodles. Just bean sprouts and chow menu noodles(to make it “crispy”?). We had one drink delivered before the appetizers, and the following three drinks sporadically during the apps. The place was not busy at all. Dinners came out while we were just into our appetizers. So not very organized

This is hands down awesome! If you’re in the RISD or Brown university area on Thayer, hunt down this place as it won’t fail you!
Delicious food, great drinks and fast service! We’ve been here a couple of times and it’s absolutely a favorite by my daughter and her friends … and now ours!
Casual and you can bring another group too. But prepare to wait during peak hours.
