I dined on a cold, mid-December evening, and the food/atmosphere did not disappoint. I was instantly warmed by the friendly staff and the perfectly spiced food. A little pricey, as many restaurants in Newport tend to be, but NaPha Thai Kitchen has large portions.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at finding such a tasty, authentic Thai restaurant in Rhode Island. I would highly recommend dining here.

This has to be one of the best Thai restaurants we’ve been to outside of Thailand. The attention to detail and quality of food was outstanding. The service was even better. Highly recommend!

Our go-to Thai spot in Newport! We love the mango rolls, pad kee mao, and crispy duck curry. Staff is kind and accommodating.

Just a heads up: their parking lot is very small, but there are plenty of seats indoors. We were greeted immediately and seated. Staff members were kind and courteous. They were very flexible and understanding as we also have a toddler dining with us. The cucumber water was a refreshing surprise and a much needed pick-me-up after our long drive. I treated myself with Thai tea and very much enjoyed it, not too sweet and the visual touch of the orchid was charming.
While there is a bit of a wait for the food to be served, the quality in taste and the visual presentation makes up for it, and if not, the portion sizes are more than generous! The food took about 15 minutes for all appetizers and entrees to be served on the table.
We ordered the chive pancakes to share and it was crispy and delicious! The Tom yum soup had the perfect balance between spicy and tart, which paired nicely with white rice. My mom ordered her favorite dish, pad Thai, and devoured the whole plate. My husband ordered the NaPha Thai wrap thinking he was going to eat three wraps, but the dish was a jumbo build-your-own platter and it was definitely more than just three wraps! The ingredients were nicely chopped and plated for ease of assembly. He was a stuffed happy camper by the end of his meal. As for me, I ordered KaoSoi (chicken) because I haven’t seen that on a menu before, so I decided to try something new. My meal came with two types of noodles, one that was boiled and soaked in with the broth and the fried noodle that served as an eye-catching decor became a tasty and crunchy second meal. The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly!

I had such a wonderful experience at this Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and served in generous portions. The place itself was beautifully decorated and had such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The owner was incredibly kind and attentive, and the staff went above and beyond — they even all came out to chat with us, which made it feel so personal and friendly. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Rhode Island and craving amazing Thai food!

Authentic Thai food with interesting dishes such as fried Brussels sprouts (fried too black in my opinion). Prices are okay. Small portions. Red curry was a bit too salty. Chef dishes are larger in portions and quite good. Small parking lot. Can customize certain dishes for allergies.

Amazing food. The other Thai place around here seems too Americanized. Thai Hot spice level is great. All the food were delicious. My wife especially loved Pad Krapao. When picking up, pad kra pao moo sap version was also available (minced pork vice pork belly).

We were in town for a brief visit, and this Thai restaurant truly exceeded our expectations—we loved it so much that we went back twice in one day! Every dish was well flavored and beautifully presented. Our favorites were the Labb Gai (super refreshing chicken flavor), Pad Kee Mao (very well-seasoned with a great kick), Tom Kha Kai (so creamy!), and the Crispy Duck Curry (loved the fragrant duck paired with rich curry). The restaurant also has a beautiful interior that added to our enjoyable visits.

The restaurant has a beautiful and authentic atmosphere. This is what tricked me to pull my wife in. This was our second time within a year. This time food quality was below average. Fried rice was edible. The seafood soup (dish name Po Tak) cannot even be called Thai food. Mussles stunk very strong. I couldn’t finish it. One of our orders was dropped (forgotten). We didn’t insist on it. Won’t be coming back.
