Reviews for Champa Lao & Thai Restaurant in Manchester, CT
Amazing all around customer service and food wow can?t wait to eat there again.
Amazing food. We got the orange chicken and it was super fresh, very hot as soon as it came out. Unfortunately no photos... because of how excited I was once it came out but presentation was 10/10. Also got crab Rangoon and was one of the best I'veever had. Chunks of crab and super crispy. Will be recommending to all friends and family. Read more
If you're not paying attention, you will miss this place. I love Champa Lao and have loved it since it opened. Everything I have... ever ordered over the years has been amazing. My personal fave is the pad sriracha. Read more
This isn't frozen food from a distributor. They make this food fresh in the kitchen. The dumplings, wontons and crab rangoons... all made by hand. Spoil yourself and eat a bowl of gold today. I'm never going anywhere else again. Read more
The food is fantastically delicious. I got the curry puffs and the pastry was so light and flaky. The curry I ordered was spiced... according to my preference. I ordered online just one half hour before closing. The proprietor was flexible to the late order. I received communication that the chef had many orders and they wanted to know if I would wait for them to finish it. I am soglad I did. The place is small but so much better than the larger Thai restaurants on the larger state routes. Highly recommend. Read more
Food was just okay. Pho broth was not great and it's probably because they use pho paste (store bought). Papaya salad was way to... dry. Curry puffs insidewas cold. I had four item's and they all needs to work on improving the taste. Read more
In a very unassuming plaza of Manchester, I found this restaurant. When I went to go pick up my order, I noticed the front... facade was nothing special. Even the interior was very simple. My initial impression started changing as I was greeted by theman at the front desk who seemed kind. Li (or Lee?) greeted me with a smile handed me my food. He mentioned they had only openedthe restaurant a year ago and asked me to spread the word. I left the establishment a bit more cheerful. And now for the food.My order consisted of shrimp rolls, Tom Yum soup, red curry, and crab fried rice. The shrimp rolls were very crispy, and therewas no greasy aftertaste (5/5). The soup was flavorful, but it was missing something (4/5). The crab fried rice was delicious.I could taste the crab meat in every bite (5/5). And finally, the pièce de résistance: The Red Curry. I can honestly say, thiswas the best red curry I've ever had. The curry had a burst of complex flavors. It had body. It had just the right hint ofcoconut milk. And this might be a personal preference, but the addition of eggplant in the vegetable mix sealed the deal. Thecurry was so good, it didn't even need to be paired with rice. Definitely a strong 5/5. I'm very impressed with Champa Lao. Thefood was great. The people are friendly. I am definitely looking forward to coming back to dine in. Read more
Terrific I eat alot of Thai food from all different places, and so far, none compare to Champa's food. Authentic. The Larb Gai... is delicious, I can't find another spot that makes it so well. Just my favorite example. All their food is terrific, highlyrecommended if you like real authentic Thai cuisine. Read more
