I've enjoyed their dishes and always go for the Fried Fish dish, which is fried fish with a kind of curry sauce with onions and pepper on rice. When I order this dish to-go, they always package the curry sauce and the fried fish separately, so the fish doesn't get soggy! I always thought this was very thoughtful of them. Although the menu can be a little overwhelming, it's a great variety of options, from curries, to noodle dishes, to thai salads, to a variety of fried rice, and appetizers. A lot of the customers around lunch time are likely people who work on the AFB or NASA Langley. But I never found this place to be too crowded even during dinner. But it seems like they have extra space in another room for additional seating if it does. The place is modest, service is fast, and I personally think the food is great.

There's nothing like Thai Papaya, and now I have figured it out....its like my Thai home really! Whenever I wanna just sit back, relax, and enjoy the BEST Thai food ever, I "just" stop on by "Thai Papaya"! The only problem is, it's "just"over an hour away from our home in NC! From the moment we walked in (I had 3 sons and 1 daughter with me this time), we felt welcome and made to feel right at home! The owners are truly fabulous, and so friendly as well! I was able to meet their son this time, and it's just so great to see a family working together as one happy team! The eatery is clean, inviting, and everything you could want from a great Thai place. Don't be thrown off by the strip mall attire, the interior is much larger than it appears, and I promise you won't leave disappointed! Every bite of every meal we ordered was such a beautiful balance of flavors inside my mouth, and can't wait to back to come back....I miss you already Thai Papaya!!!!

The prices are very reasonable (most dishes are around $11-$15), and while seating is limited, the food is packed to-go and worth it. You can tell it's the real deal when you see the whole family working together behind the counter on a busy Saturday afternoon, it gives the place a genuine, homey vibe. I ordered the Fried Rice with Pork and the Pad See Ew with Chicken. They let you choose your spice level from 1 to 5; I went with a 4 for the fried rice and a 2 for the Pad See Ew, perfect for my palate. Both dishes were flavorful, well-balanced, and comforting. The portions are generous, definitely enough for leftovers. They also have grocery-style sushi available, though I didn't try it this time. Definitely a pleasant surprise for a quick food option in a Wal-Mart.

You choose your own seating but it seems like the whole staff is there to wait on you. Everyone made sure we had all that we needed and enjoyed our food. We started off with the egg rolls and spring rolls, both were flavorful, light and delicious. For entrees I had the pho number 6 with brisket, rare beef and tendon (could've done without the tendon but I wanted to try something new). I asked for them to substitute the regular pho broth for the Bun Bo Hue broth. It was lighter than I expected but the flavor was still very good. My wife had the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl but she substituted the noodles for rice; she liked that the vermicelli bowl had more vegetables than the rice bowls. This was also phenomenal. Great char on the chicken and huge portions. Spent a total of $57 before tip, that did include one fountain drink and a Thai tea. We will be back for sure!

I stumbled on to Ruyi because I was looking for coconut shrimp - I'd recently visited my sister,…read moreand when we ordered from the Chinese place near her, I had these delicious shrimp fried sweet and sour style but they came with a creamy coconut sauce. I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I tried to see if I could find something comparable in the area. Enter Ruyi! They have the coconut shrimp and it's AWESOME. Their crab rangoon is also very good. So I decided to expand and try some other menu options - I got the sweet and sour chicken, but it comes with the standard red sauce rather than the orange one I prefer. Egg drop soup was filling and flavorful. I then tried a couple more branch outs with the Pad Thai and Orange Chicken. Those two - I wasn't crazy about. Neither had much depth of flavor and didn't reheat well. This will definitely be my go-to for that coconut shrimp craving, but for my other favs, I'll dial into other Chinese/Asian fusion places.
