We went here for lunch and it was fantastic! Much quieter than the sometimes noisy evening atmosphere right in the heart of revitalized downtown Pascoag RI. They have a lunch special that feature 3 great food choices for a very reasonable price. Parking is easy to get! Our server was terrific and offered good advice on menu choices. Food arrived super hot and was delicious. The nice clean atmosphere made for a great lunch treat! A Beautiful waterfall and the Clear river flow behind the deck area

What a hidden gem. Restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is amazing! I'll admit, being out in the middle of very rural suburbia I was wondering how good the food could be. Although I grew up in a small town that had amazing Vietnamese food and a McDonald's. Although a Thai restaurant one of my all time favorite dishes is Pho. I've had amazing Pho and Pho that was on the menu but not authentic. Looking at the menu the two that jumped out were the Pho Dac Biet (basically everything) and the Short-Rib Pho. I saw a picture of the Short-Rib Pho on a review and had to try it. When I judge Pho, I start with the broth. Is it homemade or commercial. Their's was homemade and made with love. The second thing I judge is do they cut the meat properly, almost paper thin. Their's was perfect. The Short-Rib was huge, meaty, tender and delicious. I've had the pleasure of eating at a Michelin Star Vietnamese restaurant in Miami and have had amazing Pho in the Boston area, Worcester MA, Springfield MA, Lowell as well as in Texas. This Pho is definitely legit. Up there with the best. I have my favorites just outside of Providence and I think that this might be the best in Rhode Island. It is just as good as the rest that I have had. I am excited to try their other dishes. This is worth the drive.

I love coming here!!! I wish I took pictures of other dishes I had here. I’ve brought multiple people here and not one of them had any complaints. Food is DELICIOUS, the staff there are SOOOOO WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY, and the owner is HEAVILY INVOLVED in this restaurant. My son enjoys the chicken wings from here. I’ve had their spicy fried rice, chicken wings, dumpling pho, pad thai, sticky rice, boneless spare ribs and their drinks….. DELICIOUS AND STRONG! Shout out to their bartender!!! Great place to come and get a bite to eat either by yourself or with friends/family!!! Update: 04/17/25 I got their lunch special shrimp lo mein with 2 egg rolls and the egg drop soup for $13.99. What a great deal!!

Good atmosphere, bar seating is quite busy. I ordered beef pho it was a large bowl lots of meat, I personally don’t eat the meat I just like the flavor of the beef broth. Noodles were perfect. Sticky rice & the sweet chili sauce was yummy. My boyfriend had the tempora shrimp he enjoyed it, as well as the calamari. Good service, sweet waitress. we’ll visit again.

Thai Wok Street Food in Pascoag, RI is a hidden gem. I don't think you'd expect to find such good Thai cuisine in a small town like Pascoag. The food is always excellent, the service is perfect, and it's one of our favorite restaurants. The ambience of the sound of the waterfall which you can hear out on the deck is second to none.

Absolutely awesome food here with excellent service. The owner is about as nice a guy as they come, and very involved with checking in on everyone from staff to patrons. I can't recommend this place enough, and look forward to many more future visits.
