    Pad Thai (9.2025)
    Lindsy H.

    Our second visit to Thai Papaya was much better in terms of portion size. This time, my husband and I both ordered takeout -- I went with the Chicken Pad Thai, and he tried the Chicken Pad See Eew. The service was just as quick and friendly as before. My husband said the woman at the front was smiling and kind, and the food was hot and ready when he arrived. We noticed the portions were more generous this time (see photos), with more chicken and vegetables in both dishes. Not sure if this will be consistent going forward, but we'll definitely be ordering again. I chose a spice level 4, and wow -- it was a big jump from level 3! It had a great kick. The Pad Thai had excellent flavor and texture; I'd definitely order it again. My husband enjoyed the Pad See Eew overall, especially the portion size and flavor. His only comment was that it could have used a bit more sauce, as the noodles were a little dry -- but still tasty. Looking forward to our next meal from here!

    Thai Papaya came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The food was great and service was friendly. It was in a location with other restaurants and businesses, but on the end so it is slightly hidden. Don't blink or you may miss it. It is a welcoming, clean, cozy, family friendly restaurant. Thai Papaya has all of the classic favorite Thai dishes and then some. The dishes were hot, fresh and savory. The dishes also contain the right balance of favor and spice. The food was beautifully presented when it came out. The servers were very attentive, amiable and warm. Thai Papaya definitely delivered on experience and especially taste. It is a hidden gem that will satisfy your Thai tastebuds.

    Pad see ew

    We've been looking for a close by Thai restaurant to frequent and we are so glad to find Thai Papaya!! Thai green tea was so good, wish I could have more!! Pad see ew was DELICIOUS. Got it with chicken and the chicken wasn't dry (which is always my biggest concern). The biggest plus too, is that portions are large. Service was also amazing and attentive. We will definitely be back to try the other specialities!!

    Trying to find a decent " daily go to" Thai restaurant for take out,I came across Thai Papaya. Based on the reviews and closeness,I did an online pick up order . I was frustrated that check out automatically added 18% tip. I was trying to do zero and leave a cash tip at pick up My order was ready about five minutes after I arrived. The restaurant is clean and modern. The staff were pleasant and offered me a drink while waiting. The food was still nice and hot when I returned home. Opening the containers,both entrees seemed to be less than the size serving I expected. One of the entrees just looked haphazardly put together. Overall the flavors were just ok. I wouldn't go of my way to return. I rate them average overall.

    FOOD Pad See Ew - The food here is delicious! I got the Pad See Ew at spice level 3. It comes out fresh and super hot. The spice is pretty spicy -- towards the end of finishing the dish, my lips felt slightly numb. The flavors are great. There's the nice pan-fried char flavor. Broccoli is crispy and delicious and the flat noodles also have good texture. Mango Sticky Rice - very delicious. The presentation is great and the mangoes are super fresh. There was the perfect amount of coconut milk/sauce(?) drizzled on top. The sticky rice portion was great consistency too! VIBES The place has a decent amount of seating. There's a super long booth with multiple tables and chairs on the outside seating. A pretty cute little place to get Thai food from. SERVICE The service is great overall! They are quick to take our orders and are friendly. No complaints here.

    Cream cheese wonton
    Joe D.

    I had been wanting to give this place a shot. Not too busy on a Saturday afternoon. Quick service. Friendly. Ordered Pad See Ew beef, level 2 spicy. Cream cheese and crab wonton. The shape of the wonton was perfect. Looked like a lot of effort. Upon biting into the wonton the cream cheese was warm but not hot. The cream was still partially frozen. Need a minute or two more in the fryer. This was quickly remedied by the team. Pad See Ew was solid. Great taste. Beef sliced thin and tender. More expensive than needed, but food was a good experience.

    Curry Fried Rice

    New place, opened less than a month or two ago? Went for a weekend lunch with family. Ordered Red curry with tofu, Curry fried rice with chicken and Pad ke mow for kids Thai iced tea was very good. Food was served quick and tasted great. I could have used little bit of spice on level 4.

    Nice small diner, big menu, nice settings, authentic recipes. Good parking near front.

    A humble Thai diner with authentic recipes on a big menu. In a good spot for parking in a big shopping plaza along Stacy Road. 7 tables for 4, and 3 for couples. Staff is warm & welcoming, with a mellow overhead music system making a relaxed, friendly ambiance. Small kitchen works fast, but with all tables full, do not be in a rush to eat. And the tables do fill up with regulars, and a newbie, Me! One waitress, very polite as she covers all the tables doing an excellent job. What you get is homestyle Thai flavor, and fresh ingredients. There are teriyaki dishes, Loatian, and Pad noodle dishes. A selection of Fried Rice plates, also. Curries, Salads, Noodle Soups. Dietary needs & spice levels options. Teas, desserts, ice cream macaron. I had the salmon panang curry, and enjoyed every bite! The coconut ice cream was good dessert, but I had filled up already. Those big macaron looked awesome!

We dropped by on a weekend during lunch and browsed the menus of all the food stalls located inside and came across LJ Kitchen. After looking at the pictured menus and viewing the menu we decided to purchase some pan seared steamed pork and scallion buns along with a char su biscuit. Ordering was simple by placing an order on the kisok provided and typing in your phone number and name. The kiosk had pictures along with the food item and price. We found a table and sat down and within 10 minutes our food was ready. We started snapping pictures instantly before we dug in admiring this beautiful creation. The char su biscuit was hot and flaky releasing steam into the air. The char su was tender and flavorful with hints of 5 spice seasoning of cinnamon, star anise, cloves, fennel, and peppercorns bursting into your mouth when sinking your teeth into it. the pan seared buns were the star of the show with the top side being seared and the bottom part steamed filled with moist pork and scallion meatball inside. The dipping sauce was a soy base with vinegar and paired perfectly with the dish. Altogether we enjoyed coming here eating the delicious food and are excited for our next visit!

It was good though it was lacking a little flavor and had a little burnt taste. The 'tofu brains', basically a savory silken tofu, was pretty delicious. Had a strong black vinegar flavor and complimented the jianbing well. Great place to get some unique Chinese foods.
