The Green Papaya Thai Restaurant Canton

Amazing food. I eat gluten-free and vegan and they made sure to cook my food separately to avoid as much cross-contamination as possible. Incredibly rare to go to a restaurant that does this. I got the pineapple fried rice with tofu. Flavor was great, everything cooked perfectly. They had cool sodas to choose from. And, they had Belgian chocolate straight from Belgium for purchase at the register. They even had vegan dark chocolate bars. Best vegan 🍫 I've ever had!!! I wish I lived closer to this place because I'd go here all the time. My friend and family all loved their food as well. Highly recommend this place.

Dirk is wonderful! Net is the chef! Thank you for your restaurant! Fresh, appetizing Thai Food. Salads were very tasty and filling. Fried Rice and duck dish were very good. Atmosphere is so pleasant. Enjoyed your desert as well! Glad we found it! Worth the trip!

Where do I begin? Looking for Thai food I promise don’t try anywhere else. The Green Papaya is the place to go! I’ve tried many great Thai spots and I would recommend this heavily. If you’re not sure what to order my go to is Pad Thai crispy chicken. This spot is seriously great with such a delicious variety of food. I’ve been eating here for years and it never gets old whether it’s summer or winter I’ll always eat here. 🤗

Do you want to have someone cooking their Thai family recipes and other authentic traditional northern Thai and fusion cuisine.. please look no further! The food literally speaks for itself and isn’t boosted by industry practices of excessive use of salt or sugar. Her Belgian husband runs (again literally) the front end and has brought the most incredible, authentic Belgian chocolate mouse to the dessert menu. He is so nice, authentic, and caring about what they do together at Green Papaya! My favorites include the chicken lettuce wrap appetizer, vegetable Tom Yum soup, Laos green papaya salad, the spicy Larb special (not the appetizer) and the seafood hot pot. Even though I always order my dishes spicy, they will adjust spice levels to your needs. I could eat here weekly if I lived i

Take a Belgian and have him open a Thai restaurant…sounds odd? Well that’s exactly what this is! Turns out this is a labor of love by a Belgian (Dirk in our story) who married into a Thai family and eventually moved to this part of Connecticut. The flavors of the Thai food are fantastic and the heat (I’m always careful not to go beyond Medium for Thai) is as per CT standards (read very mild). The twist to this is the option to indulge in some excellent Belgian chocolate mousse aaand if you prefer buy Leonidas chocolates after dinner. Quant and sweet interiors and the food - soup, entree and the dessert was excellent. Can’t go wrong if you’re in the area so definitely give Dirk’s restaurant, The Green Papaya a chance and you won’t regret it.
