We visited this Thai restaurant today and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, and the quality was excellent. Service was attentive and efficient. We ordered a few starters along with a main course and Thai iced teas, and everything was flavorful and well prepared. A great overall experience. They also customise according to your spice tolerance and allergies.
I would highly recommend this place!

Cha Yen Thai Cookery is phenomenal! I live in Rhode Island and have been several times, and each visit is amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful, open, and smells incredible—it feels warm, welcoming, and like home. The food is outstanding—fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish. The fried rice, noodles, curry, and Wagyu burgers are all delicious. The service is attentive and friendly, and the bartenders make phenomenal drinks. I always have such a wonderful experience and can’t wait to come back!

Delicious, flavorful and upscale-ish Thai food. Menu has loads of options, including several small plates. Most items on the menu could be made vegetarian or be adjusted to be gluten-free, so the restaurant is able to handle first restrictions. Highly recommend the wagyu sliders and cocktails. They have a unique list of cocktails that blend coconut, pandan, and tropical fruits. Staff is very welcoming and friendly.
Entree portion size is right for one person (unlike typically large fastfood style options). We were two people and ordered two starters , two drinks, one entree, and one dessert – which was plenty of food and was ~$50/person (with tip).

This place is awesome. Went there on a Friday (friend we were meeting suggested it) and we were blown away by their awesome cocktail program! We had a party of 5 and we each ordered something different and every single drink was inventive and delicious and so different. Their food and dessert was amazing too and very reasonable price for such a high quality meal!

They can easily be one of those case studies for budding restauranteurs interested in entering the industry. Here, they can learn that it’s not only about the culinary excellence and a true dedication to the art, but also a good portion of luck, culinary creativity, being in a great location, and catering to the desired demographics for their success. Sure, they are very popular now but they had quite the journey to get here. For that, I truly applaud their grit to come to the success that they have right now.
I can easily say that Cha Yen is one of my favorite Thai spots in the area. The chef has elevated the cuisine as a fusion into a whole different level of creativity while still harnessing some of the most traditional flavors. What you find in any other Thai restaurant is now presented in a more upscale approach while preserving their original identity. The flavors here tickle the palate and beckons desire to try more.
This location is a jump from the casual eatery prior. Plates and food presentation are updated. Decor is no longer as “divey”. The overall ambiance is different and if you didn’t realize it was a Thai eatery, you wouldn’t think it actually is one. Add that to their culinary excellence, they’ve created a winning combination and hence, the heavily packed restaurant every weekend. People here know and people here want it. We all want it.
Good food, creative, friendly staff, great location, and the right demographics…stuff that case studies will remind you again and again.

Excellent food, great price, the staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. We loved the decorations and how everything was very neat. The broth of the boat noodle soup was herbal and deep. The Mee Puu dumplings were absolutely delicious!

Highly recommend this place for their food and atmosphere and service. I can smell a the Thai food 100 ft away. I was craving Thai and stopped by on a whim. It’s didn’t disappoint. The papaya salad was Greta serving for a hungry 1 person or between two people. I got the boat noodle soup
My favorite spicy and rich soup and it was great. This place also has a liquor license if you’re looking to drink. Service was great and overall nice spot for Thai!!!

Overall a great experience! I was excited to try both new offerings and old favorites after Cha Yen reopened after moving to a larger space and expanding their menu and cocktail options. Our favorite dishes tasted great as expected, in particular the Pad thai, chicken wings and lemongrass fish. The new cocktail menu offers good variety/selection and I look forward to trying more of their offerings. The green curry cocktail we tried was unique and very tasty.

I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough especially with a girlfriend who is gluten free(celiac). The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is great, whoever designed the interior did an amazing job. The food is some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The Pad Thai, spicy noodle soup and the massaman curry were a 10/10. The drinks were beautiful and were balanced perfectly. There were more than enough gluten free options!
