Pete is the best! Not only as a business owner but the food is really good too. We should be supporting more local businesses like Pete's so they stick around! My favorite is going there and letting him pick my meal BUT - if you like peanut sauce, theirs is incredible. 10/10 recommend it with basically any dish.
The food, service, and value are hard to beat. The Tom Yum Kai was generously portioned, hot, spicy, and had a great mouth feel. The "City Connection" entree is flavor explosion that will have me returning to this restaurant the next time I'm in the Newport area.
Authentic homemade Thai food, rich flavors. The Tum Yom soap and Pad Thai Noodles were delicious but it literally had 'a shrimp' and 'slithers of chicken' in them. The service was good and quick, but had to ask for cutlery and chopsticks. The interior atmosphere is quiet but very simple, too simple and old in my opinion.
Good Thai food for a very reasonable price. I think this may become my go-to lunch spot when I visit Newport.
Service is polite, personable, and quick. Prices are extraordinarily good for the quality, and low overall.
Decor is a little dated, but NOT what you are eating. Go. Eat. Enjoy.
Great little place! Went there tonight (Tuesday) for the first time. Went because they had decent reviews online. The place was pretty chill, we were the only ones there so we were a little worried we made a mistake but we were pleasantly surprised. We got Spring and Summer rolls as appetizers, they were delicious. We had Japanese beer Kiren Ichiban with blood orange, also delicious. The main entree was Kang Keow Warn. It was just the right amount of spicy and sweet. The place was clean, the food was great and the prices were fair. Definitely recommend.
Seriously the best food around for take out. I’d eat here every day if I could. The Tom Yum Soup and the Pad Prik King are my favorites. Highly recommend!
Super impressed. Prompt service, very delicious meal. I asked to add spicy and they did it perfectly. Will be a regular lunch spot
HORRIBLE SERVICE. I TRIED ORDERING ONLINE, BUT IT SAIF IT WASNT AVAILABILITY AND TO CALL THEIR NUMBER. I DID AND NO ONE WAS ANSWERING. I CALLED 10 TIMES. CLOSE THIS STORE. SERVICE IS TERIBLE. 1 STAR. BE WARNED. DONT BOTHER.
Phenomenal! Delicious Thai food at Thai street-food prices that doesn't make your wallet scream. Super friendly Thai-owners willing to speak Thai with a farang (me) that is terrible at Thai...but still learning. Highly recommend! ขอบคุณมากๆค่ะ อาหารอร่อยมาก!

Pete's Thai restaurant is our go-to place for delicious Thai food at a very reasonable price. The lunch menu is an incredible value of a soup, rice, and a curry for under $10. We usually have vegetarian curries, one with coconut milk and one with chili. You can customize your level of spiciness from "Cautious" to "Real Thai". The Thai Garden salad is also delicious with its peanut sauce. Very unassuming spot but well worth the visit and well known to the locals
Food was really good, service was amazing, overall it’s probably the best Thai restaurant in Middle town.
Had their lunch entrees 3 times now, and every time has been solid. The soup appetizer and the egg rice (part of the non-noodle dishes) are particularly awesome. Definitely recommend.
Very well priced authentic Thai food.
The menu was a bit confusing but had a lot of variety.
Great service and delicious food.
Actual value. Great food, really affordable.
Owner Pete always provides great service, nice place to get lunch and take out. Food is a good value. Great for a casual dinner
Worst Thai food in Newport (I’ve eaten at all other restaurants) and some of worst Thai food I’ve ever had. I ordered red curry and curry fried rice.
The red curry had one note of flavor, and the vegetable assortment in it was very bizarre (frozen peas, really?). I ordered it extra spicy, and it was no spicier than mayonnaise. Also, the man who took my order on the phone said they do offer curry fried rice, but the rice I received was definitely just regular fried rice. I think that was just a language barrier. The fried rice was very bland.
I was hoping this place would be a good, cheaper alternative to the other Thai joints in Newport, but I definitely wish I had spent a few extra dollars going somewhere with decent food!
Would highly recommend! Really nice staff and the food was phenomenal.
Ordered for pickup and the food was delicious! The medium spicy is definitely spicy, coming for someone that eats spicy. The noodles were great and staff was friendly. Plus prices are reasonable
The best Thai restaurant in Rhode Island. I am very particular with food. I have tried other Thai restaurants in RI, and this restaurant sells the best homemade food. It tastes fresh and delicious. A hidden gem. It is a family restaurant with warm hospitality and food. You will not regret it.
So so so SO DELICIOUS!!! Food is mouthwatering, service is so genuine and kind, prices are the best I've seen in all of Rhode Island for the quality of food. Most authentic Thai food you'll get in Newport!!!
Excellent food, excellent service, authentic flavors, reasonably priced. Recommended Thai place. Also good vegetarian options available here.
The food here is fresh and delicious. I especially love the fried rice. The owner is a very friendly guy. 💯💯
Duck curry is amazing and great value!
Awesome food, amazing service! This is my go to Thai restaurant.
the real Thai cuisine!
and great service
Excellent place to enjoy lunch. Try the Chicken Kang Dang! A wonderfully delicious coconut curry.
I'm Thai.I recommend this restaurant,for sure!!
I absolutely love this Thai restaurant. I hope this Thai restaurant lives on forever because its truly a gem. I simply cannot find any Thai restaurant in the northern part of this state that can even come close to this one. Make sure you stop by here if your ever on Aquidneck island. Especially for a tasty, filling, and cheap lunch. I highly recommend the Chicken Pad Prik King- probably my most favorite dish and food overall. The owner and his wife are nice people and I hope they continue to prosper here for eternity.
Authentic and delicious Thai food served by a small businessman and his family.
Legitimately one of the best beef pad thais I've ever had made by the nicest person. Took food to go, will return.
Food is always amazing!
Very good Thai, flavorful and fresh. Panang chicken was excellent, rice was a great consistency. Spring rolls very tasty and a nice crunch. Will be back to try more dishes.
Best Thai food on the island. Tom yum soup is perfect, pad Thai isn’t overly sweet like a lot of Thai restaurants, nam sod is spicy and tangy and perfect to pair with pad Thai, spring rolls are crispy and the filling is hearty and savory. The duck curry is amazing, perfect flavor paired with the crispy duck skin and juicy meat. Still have to try the beef curry and green curry but everything for as long as I’ve been going here is always delicious.
Good Thai food for a very reasonable price. I think this may become my go-to lunch spot when I visit Newport.
Service is polite, personable, and quick. Prices are extraordinarily good for the quality, and low overall.
Decor is a little dated, but NOT what you are eating. Go. Eat. Enjoy.
Great food, everything is excellent 👌
The owner Peter is very genuine, polite, and hospitable. He personally serves each and every customer and attends to ordering service and waiting it's quite the feat. The food is delicious and is real Thai style and taste. An all around
wonderful experience
everytime. Thanks Pete.
Good
The food was awesome, extremely flavorful! They were severely understaffed, not sure if it had anything to do with us going on a Saturday night. There was only one person serving and one person cooking. However, service was top notch, the person who served us was extremely nuce and friendly.
Fewer customers meant, we did not have to wait too long though.
Had a wonderful dinner with a group of friends. We shared entrees, every one was delicious!
Tom Yum soup was very flavorful, salty, sour and spicy. Green curry with shrimp was alright, a bit small in portion. Pineapple fried rice was on par with other Thai restaurants. There weren't a lot of people on a Saturday evening, maybe because we came a bit late at almost 9pm. The older gentlemen at the reception was friendly. Maybe due to only him on the outside taking orders and serving food, it was a little slow getting the food.
Best Thai place I’ve been to in a long while. This is a two-person operation restaurant so expect some wait times, but nothing too excessive. Food is authentic and the prices are very reasonable (to the point where the locals are saying they should increase to match inflation).
I went to give a 5 star review, and found I already had 6 years ago! Same great menu and service. Great place for take out or dine-in.
Food is consistently good, and the service is excellent!
You can't go wrong at this place, very friendly staff and delicious food.
Food was not good, and the cheap price kind of matched the pricing. Of what we tried - tom yum soup was mainly water with salt and didn't have much. The noodle soup felt like mainly water too. The curry felt like a mixture of water and curry powder that's been on a shelf for while in a grocery store.
Facility and feel looked like something from the 70s, that isn't kept up to date with the times. Menu's absence of any pictures and wording appears to be the same since at least 5 years ago, compared to other reviews. It was very dark inside, and the layout had a strange L shape. If you're looking for Thai food, the Siam square Thai restaurant is much better, just a 30 second drive south.
The food was amazing, the man who served us was so nice, and the prices are so reasonable!! I would so come here again!
The owner needs help desperately. He is a waiter, greeter, take out order guy and bus boy. Food is good but I hope he gets help, too long to wait
My favorite Thai restaurant. I always get the nam sod (Thai salad with ground pork). Make sure to ask for non-spicy if you don’t like it hot.
It’s an one-man restaurant more or less. Chef/owner is from Southeast Asia so he knows how to make authentic Thai dishes. This is a good restaurant with very reasonable prices. Try it - you’re sure to go back!
Amazing food and for really good prices too! The server is very easygoing and a joy to talk to.
Can’t beat the taste and prices are very reasonable. Love this place. I probably have it for lunch at least once a week.
Très bonne surprise que ce restaurant thaï choisi complètement par hasard à Newport : la cuisine est excellente, les portions sont copieuses et les prix sont très corrects.
The owner remembered my name and order the second time I went in! Very relaxed atmosphere, very good food, and great service!!
Great food, calm atmosphere. The scallops were perfect.
Amazing Pad Thai, this has got to be my favorite restaurant in the area!
I would’ve never thought to visit this restaurant simply because it’s not something that would appear in a Google maps search and stick out to me. But thanks to coworkers, I wish it would be more present on the Google algorithm. The price is unbeatable for what you get. Would definitely eat here again, many times over.
Awesome food for a very good price. Definitely try the dessert sticky rice and mango
Friendly. Their shrimp curry was amazing!!! Very low price but fresh ingredients. Totally recommend.
food was good and super cheap, order take a while so call to order before hand
Good food!
Great food and a great price! Loved the Thai Iced tea and the food came out quickly
Great tasting Thai food a d fantastic value. We go at least once a week.
Great food!! Great service and quiet atmosphere. Will return.
Great food and friendly staff
BEST THAI FOOD AROUD!!!
My fiancée introduced me to this restaurant, having never eaten Thai food, it was the most delicious meal. The staff is very pleasant and and is very personable, especially with their regulars customers. I will be eating here regularly!!!
The bomb
This is the spot around here
Great food, great owner, and one of the best deals on the island. Regularly get my Thai fix here, and Pete never disappoints!
Great food, cheap price, always quick service. 10/10!
Wonderful, authentic Thai food! Great service.
Look past your initial impression of the tired decor and stay for the food. Everything was fresh and made to order. The duck with curry sauce was amazing. The chicken satay was moist and perfectly cooked with a very fresh peanut sauce. The Thai jasmine tea was hot and flavorful. The owner serves and his wife is the chef…dedicated and friendly. We will be back to enjoy and support this hardworking dynamic duo.
Great food and great service! We will definitely be going back. 10/10 recommend!
The food was actually really good and the staff were friendly, I'm definitely coming back here again.
Keep in mind that if you order for pickup and once you make it to the restaurant, you're gonna be waiting for your food a bit longer.
So good! Had a GREAT ginger and pork dish, excellent fresh rolls with a delicious peanut sauce, and finished things with fresh mangoes with coconut sticky rice. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while, and for a very reasonable price!
I'm here TDY for a couple of weeks. Went to try the Pad Prig Sod Moo - spicy. Delicious! Wish this place was in Colorado near me. I would be a regular. As it is, I'll go there a few more times while here! Soooo good!
Winter rolls are fresh and thai tea is sweet - just the way i like it
A modest restaurant with very good food and prices.
Wonderful food
Great folks (mom+ pop)
Reasonable price
We always stop in whenever we swing by RI
Overall good experience. The soup was ok but main dish (fried rice with chicken and pineapple) was good . Good wine selection (Robert Mondavi) and price is also ok.
Delicious Thai food. Highly recommended!
Delicious!
This dish is disgusting. There's no other way to describe it. I don't understand how a chef could think this is good. The noodles are gluey, the dish lacks sauce and the flavor tastes like its been in the cooler for days.
I am so frustrated and disappointed that this is my experience at nearly every restaurant on this island. I don't know why I even try new places. I always waste my money.
I cannot recommend this place at all.
We love this place Our family has been coming here for years and the owner always remembers us Great food Best prices in town Always fresh and hot Yummy every time
Great food for the price and great staff
Helpful staff. I didn't see it in the menu, but I asked if they could do a vegetarian som tam (green papaya salad --- no fish sauce or shrimp). They did, and it was great! Such a treat! Vegetable coconut curry was perhaps a little salty for me, but the flavor was good. Highly recommended!
amazing food at a great price and great service.
Great sauces and service. Nice place to go to enjoy a meal by your self or with someone special.
Ordered a variety of dishes and soup. Excellent food! Service was very fast. We were seated and served right away. The soup came out immediately with the main courses following shorty after we were done. Easy to read menu. Very friendly staff. Everything was tasty!
Update 11/2021: Went back again and had the same excellent, fast service and fantastic food. Favorites are the soups and the curry dishes. I prefer variety, so I pick 1 beef dish, one chicken and one seafood. Very pleasant inside. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
Wonderful experience at Bangkok City. From someone who eats Thai food often, I must say that the food was delicious, and there were a very wide variety of dishes on the menu. The group of us who went there ordered 14 different dishes in total, and all of them were delightful. Very well balanced flavors. The sour noodle appetizer was my favorite starter. Pete, the fella who took care of us was also quite pleasant. The price of the items are also quite reasonable. I will be back next time I am in Newport.
Delicious food and friendly staff! Would highly recommend this place! We ordered spring rolls, yellow curry and saucy pineapple chicken. All were excellent.
Been going here regularly for 15 years. The food is great. Prices are reasonable, which means service can be slow at lunch, when it gets busy, so go when you have time to relax. Dinner portions are much larger than lunch, and so is the menu. I highly recommend Shrimp in the Pot, and the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. I've just made myself hungry writing this. Haha.
Owner was very nice. The food is not super authentic Thai. I liked the Bangkok duck more than Pad Puk. Pad puk was a little bland.
The dessert was great though. Sticky rice with coconut ice cream and fried bananas were delicious. The meal was super affordable as well.
Great place! Food was delicious and quick. Could easily become a regular regular spot if I lived in the area!
Very nice indoor atmosphere and delicious, highly customizable food, along with a large and versatile menu. The dessert menu was also well rounded. Overall a great experience, would 100% come again. The owner is very nice and friendly. Спасибо, друг.
I live in Middletown and Pete is the best ever. He is so kind and personable he genuinely cares about his customers. The food is outstanding, always delicious and consistent. There's just a family feel when you visit his restaurant, but also very authentic to thai culture. It is always a great experience.
$5 to $6 lunch specials! Service was fairly slow but the owner was very apologetic and incredibly friendly. Can't beat the flavor for the price! The lunch specials is a decently deep menu but curries are only on the normal/dinner menu. Will definitely be back but possibly for take-out.
Great prices and good food.
Our Family traveled from Long Island. This Restaurant was one of the more authentic at which we have eaten!!
Very simple, very affordable, the food was fine.
This place is a hidden gem. The lunch specials are super cheap and delicious. The lunch portions are decent, I think they are pretty big but the bf claims they are small.
The only downfall is the wait times. This place is always busy, and it makes sense why, so I suggest calling ahead for pick up orders or be prepared to wait a while.
Phenomenal place. Great price for equally great food.
Good, inexpensive Thai food from a friendly Thai couple, one in the front and one in the kitchen. Usually quick, always nice, fairly large menu.
Great prices..food fine.
Great place for lunch. Eat in or take out.
1. Prices are very reasonable.
2. The owner (I assume he's the owner) is one of the friendliest, happiest people ever.
3. Food is decent, some dishes better than others. I'm not going to tell you it's one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to but it's tasty enough.
Great food nice people
Probably the most honest restaurant I’ve been to. High quality ingredients, great taste, and excellent service. Can’t go wrong with any order. The Chango is served with generous 2 fresh mango slices with perfect sweetness and ripeness - better than any mangoes I’ve ever bought from any grocery stores and the coconut sweet rice is just the right amount of sweetness and stickiness.
Bangkok City was the go-to restaurant when I stayed in Newport for 2 weeks. The green curry and seafood soup were standout dishes but everything I tried on the menu was incredible!
Mr. P is the man. Delicious curries, and they're especially good with the squid dishes. On even the second visit, he remembered my name and my dish from the first time!
I went to Bangkok City 6 times during my 2 week stay in Newport. This place is awesome! Mr. Pete is the sweetest person ever. I highly recommend the duck curry and the homemade coconut icecream!!
Mr. Pete is the best! We were stationed here for training and got takeout/dine in often and always had the best experience. Mr. Pete not only knew our orders by heart but knew our names and was just the most pleasant person you could imagine. Ten out of ten, would always recommend!
Delicious worth the wait
Great food great service
Excellent, authentic, Thai food. Pete, the owner and his wife, are probably the hardest working people in the state.
Amazing food every time. Been ordering take out for months and the quality of food you get from the kitchen is the same, every time, no matter what you order. Best Thai food on the island. Pete is great and is always polite.
Outstanding food. Very Reasonably priced. Good sized portions, and very friendly service. Definitely give this place a try!! I recommend the Kang Crab, Winter Rolls, and Chicken Panang.
The best chicken larb reminds me of isaan from a child in udon
The food is always awesome.
Great Authentic Tiah cuisines
The pad thai tasted like they used barbeque sauce and the tom ka just had chicken and nothing else.
Quaint little Thai place in Middletown. Very reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Yummy food. I recommend it. Surely will go there again.
Delicious food, excellent staff, very fresh dishes with a homey vibe.
Super nice people. I lost my keys and couldn't get there in time. After I offered to pay and pick it up outside....he delivered it to me in a snow storm☺️. People like this bring me joy! Thank you.
They are the nicest staff ever and the food is amazing. I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!!!
Always great food and service.
Great food!
My husband and I went to Bangkok for the first time, for lunch after spending the morning at the DMV. The food was great! We plan to return. The lunch portions and prices were perfect.
We loved this Restaurant!
I have recently eaten at Bankok City several times and have enjoyed the meals enough to agree with my friends to return several times. Even more so because they are open until 9pm while others are not dine in or closing at 8pm... And so... my 3rd time in a month and I still enjoyed a different meal each time.
I love this place! Good food and good customer service. Chicken satee, fried rice and winter roll are my favorite. I also love the free arroz caldo soup :) If you miss asian food you gotta try this restaurant.
Amazing food and amazing service! They took the extra time to be extra friendly. Portion sizes were perfect and very affordable!
Great family restaurant everything we ordered was delicious Their desserts are a very reasonable please do not leave there without eating them The frog legs And fat noodles were great and the place was very mellow in a good way It was very Inexpensive and still worth it
Delicious, good sized portions, and reasonable price. Will eat again!
Good thai for the area.
Enjoyed my lunch. Not the best Thai food I’ve ever had, but they have good service, a large menu, good prices, and convenient location. Enjoy!
Great food and been here a long time - and great prices - cool owner too! thanks we're coming in tonight - for take out!
Yummy spicy food with flavor
I have only gotten takeout at this place but I was not super impressed with their green curry. Their chicken pad Thai was also very underwhelming. I will say they have great prices and service, but the food is nothing to praise.
One of my favorite restaurants of my life, and hands down the best Thai food on Aquidneck Island.. Pete and Dara are the nicest people in the world, and the food is amazing.. Mee Grob and Summer Rolls are only found at Bangkok City, and their fried rice and pad si ew are second to none.. You will not be disappointed with anything you have
Good food and service. Plenty of parking out front. Curry dishes are recommend.
