Apsara Palace Restaurant 783 Hope Street, Providence, RI 02906

"Idk why I thought I would be getting tea when I ordered the Thai bubble TEA. But this was like a frozen slush and I asked for less sweet because sometimes these things are sickeningly sweet. Yep so was this one. Idk if he thought I said extra sweet or if this is their normal sweetness level but couldn't take more than a sip. Also I saw this one kid putting on chapstick from his personal backpack and he dipped his finger in it and rubbed his lips then wiped it on a napkin and continues bagging up orders....ummmm. ew."

"Amazing food. 5 stars not enough... The beef noodle soup was delicious (like a special twist of pho but with coriander and larger beef pieces). The chicken nime chow was so good we had to order some more. The red curry chicken was heavenly... Found a new favorite spot"

"This is probably some of the worst food I've ever eaten and I only ate it because I was hungry and don't like wasting food. I composted the leftovers. I honestly can't even believe that there are so many good reviews on here because after the waste of $100 that I spent last night, I'm ready to question friendships with people who say that this place is great. Here's what we got: Pad Thai: Pink(?), almost tasteless (see attached photo), fine amount of meat in the dish, noodles were short and choppy. Scallion Pancakes: greasy, tasteless Beef and Chinese Broccoli: menu says it comes in a thick brown sauce. It does not. The sauce was basically brown water. Broccoli was okay. Peking Ravioli: slimy, dry filling, tasteless, even with the dipping sauce which was also a little off and again, not as flavorful as I've had at other establishments. General Tso Chicken: cooked fine but the sauce was again, off a little. Lacked flavor, and most definitely was not in the least spicy. Didn't get a single chili in the bowl. Overall, I'm really disappointed in what a waste of good real estate this place is taking up on such a great part of Hope Street."

"Really great food. It came out quickly and they were great portions. We got the shrimp with vegetables and crispy noodles and chicken pad Thai too. Everything was amazing."

"I haven’t been here in years. That’s about to change! The shrimp nimchow was fresh and light. Loved the mint in it, delicate and delicious. The peanut sauce was perfect. I had the shrimp lemongrass so so good! My bf had the shrimp lemongrass with jalapeños and added broccoli/ it had a totally different taste- ginger, it was also very good. My son had chicken fried rice- yummy and garlic wings which he gave a thumbs up to. The price for these dishes were great (under $10, the broccoli added a couple extra bucks). The food all looked, smelled and was DELICIOUS! I have a friend who says she comes here all the time, now I know why. The place was also busy for dinner on a Tuesday- lots of people in and out for take out."
