★★★★★ 5.0 Anushka Jain · Feb 2026

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 nikki s · Mar 2026

loved the food. loved the atmosphere. loved the service. we got asked every 10 min or so if we were taken care of and that’s hard to come across these days in restaurants in my opinion. love the portion size since we were able to try 6 dishes without getting too full. loved the corn cake, papaya salad, kee mao (was a slight bit salty for my liking) and the mango sticky rice. i don’t recommend the oyster since it was just egg and oyster with sauce, but it wasn’t bad by any means, just not anything special. overall 9.5/10 experience! the server with the long bleached hair was full of smiles and made the experience even better!

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Rohini Singh · Jan 2026

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).

★★★★★ 5.0 Katerina Agretelis · Feb 2026

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!
