Read moreOverall, I give them a 3.5. The service was okay, and the kitchen was a little slow. I certainly did not walk away empty handed, though. No pun intended. The portions are huge.
Appetizers: We had the Steamed Thai Dumplings (5 pcs; chicken, pork, water chestnut, and pepper, wrapped in a rice flour sheet), the Vegetarian Spring Rolls (6 pcs; lightly fried spring rolls stuffed with mixed vegetables and glass noodles served with sweet dipping sauce), and the Steamed black Mussels (with basil, lemon grass, and white wine served with homemade dipping sauce). All of the appetizers were great. They were what I would expect from a Thai restaurant. I loved that the spring rolls were not greasy. They had a light crispy exterior, exactly like the description on the menu. The best appetizer that I tasted was the mussels. This didn’t necessarily taste like a Thai dish, but it is an original Thai flavor. It was made with all fresh veggies and fresh basil! I would love to try this with Thai basil leaves instead and see an added option to have it with noodles. This dish was amazing. It was too good.
Entrées: Drunken Noodles (Flat rice noodles sautéed with peppers, onion, tomatoes, carrots, scallions, and basil leaves topped with a mild chili paste) and Pad Gra Prow (spicy basil sauce, sautéed with onion, pepper, scallion, carrots, mushroom, string beans, chill sauce, and basil leaves). This is where I had to get off the train. Fortunately/Unfortunately, I enjoyed these dishes better the next day. I am not a food expert nor a restaurant expert; I am just a Thai Foodie! I promise you, I have eaten these authentic dishes many times. It could be preference, but I really didn’t care too much for the sauce in either dish. Traditionally, these dishes aren’t made with a sauce, but rather a paste, despite what I was served. They were both sweet and a tad bit too syrupy. This could be the chef compensating for the American pallet. The dishes were also supposed to be a little spicy. I had to add chili flakes to each bite. The food was good, but I appreciate authenticity better.
Sides/Extras: Spicy Fried Rice. I had a moment with every bite. This dish is their money maker. It does have a tiny kick. You can get it with any meat, fish, shellfish, tofu, or plain. This was great at dinner and great the next day as well. I HIGHLY recommend getting this dish. There is enough on this plate for six people.
I recommend this restaurant and will come back when I visit again....

I'm a Warwick native
I have given this place so many chances.
It's sad because I like Thai and I really like this place when it opened initially. The owners clearly spent money and made a very nice restaurant.
I am a restaurateur myself
My friend group is close to the owner without naming who they are.
I feel compelled to write this in hopes that things change so that it does not go out of business.
I'm tired of every dish getting cheaped out and different continually and I'm going to give this restaurant one more chance after this
Tonight not only was peanut sauce for the chicken pad Thai forgotten which is a main piece to the dish for the love of my life and she orders it all the time and she's the friend of the owner and she requested it as usual.
But I ordered drunken noodles with beef. Five small pieces of beef. Such a small amount of vegetable. Noodles. Overcooked and mushy. I'm tired of ordering it when it's my favorite dish from Thai restaurants because they not only have cheaped out on this but every time it gets worse.
I'll give this place one more shot because I love having the restaurants succeed in town. It's just a sad situation.
My first daughter was born the night of me trying Warwick Thai out for the first time with my ex-wife. It was her request before labor. It was an amazing experience. 2015
Completely different now and it's slowly gone downhill. I've had to call several times each order.
I would be careful if you're looking for quality Thai without holding them accountable to ensure that they are either successful and can stay in business for our small village or have somebody new in the business that can get it back to what it was.
I'm sorry for writing this review but it's too...
