Crispy homemade tofu is so good!!!! Drunken noodle and shrimp wanton with spicy peanut sauce but winner is the tofu!!!
We went for the lunch special and had a great experience. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We ordered Tom Yum noodle soup, Pad See Ew, and Green Curry. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food.
Do you want Asian food, but want something different from typical corner-Chinese food or sushi? Green Papaya won't let you down! Visit for Asian fusion (primarily Thai and Malaysian) and a refreshing fruit smoothie or milk tea. We ordered Homemade Crispy Tofu to start, Malaysian Curry (mild curry with your choice of protein, veggies and coconut milk), and Pad Thai. Everything was delicious and recommendable. The service was quick and friendly. The dining area is comfortable and with homey decor. Some might think that the tables are a bit too close. However, personally, I felt ok. I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. Don't hesitate to come by Green Papaya for a change of pace!
The food was good and very affordable compared to most Thai places. The staff was attentive and friendly. However maybe we went for our first visit on a day their heater broke or maybe it's normally cold but I had to eat with my winter coat on and in the bathroom I could see my breath it was so cold. The overall experience wasn't good because I was freezing. I will try again in the spring or order takeout.
Takeout is not good. We ordered: -Crispy tofu - a little dry. I also didn't care for the sauce it came with. It was too sweet -Pad Thai - looked different from when we dined in. It was lighter in color for takeout. Also, the noodles were in pieces -Pad Kee Mao - this was pretty good. It wasn't overly spicy and the noodles held up -Pad See Ew - this was probably the worst pad see ew I've ever tasted. It was WAY too salty and sweet to the point where my mouth felt numb after eating it. I would highly recommend dining in, which stinks because I love getting takeout. But this just isn't one of the places to do it at. *UPDATED FEB 2025* Came in for dinner on a rainy Friday just before 6, and it wasn't too crowded - but it seemed like a lot of people were coming in to pick up some takeout.
