This place was exceptional hands down one of the best restaurants In Savannah. First of all the menu had so many options I ordered soup , sushi, and a noodle Entrée, it was so good I ordered a Togo meal for my husband. Not only was the food a 10 the service was impeccable, Ashley is a super star! Ashley ran the entire place alone but was very attentive she is very knowledgeable about the menu and made us feel so welcomed. Sidebar the water is the best water I have ever tasted at a restaurant Everrr it was so crisp and fresh. Papaya you have gained a forever customer, thank you for being amazing!

Food is excellent!!!

Diner Review №5

Way too pricey $17 plus tax and tip would be like $21 for a bowl of pho which is outrageous. Stopped by to try this place a photo of the menu online shows the price last year was just over $12. Same dish is $12.95 at umami half a mile down the road.

Excellent service. The food is fresh, flavorful, and many great options.

Diner Review №15

My wife and I went there for lunch on Friday. She ordered Tofu Pad Thai and I got the Fried Rice. She got food poisoning and I did not. She spent Friday evening and all day Saturday (minus Urgent Care) in bed.

Not a bad little Thai place

Diner Review №21

I’ll start this with… I’ve eaten a lot of Thai, it’s probably my favorite. With that being said, this was prob the worst I’ve had. The restaurant is cute, service for my take out wasn’t bad. The pad see ew, was the most bland. I’m not sure if this is Americanized or what, the noodles were overcooked and white, they usually have a brownish tint. The broccoli was just bland and seemed it wasn’t cooked in any of the sauce they may have used. The ginger dressing kind of tastes like pine sol. If you’re use to authentic Thai I’d consider PJ Thai in downtown.

Diner Review №22

I’m new to Thai food I saw the sign walking in the door advertising the special so when I ordered I could’ve sworn I said the whole red snapper special.
food comes and it’s on the money I crush it. Very happy with the food but that bill came and it’s not at all what I was expecting I didn’t say the edamame part so I got whole red snapper.
if you go and see a special I would just like to point out make sure y’all on the page.

Diner Review №23

Our food was delicious, our server paid little attention to us. She brought the bill and made no mention of ordering desserts. We were by then disgusted with watching her sip a gut buster drink while talking to a man at the bar. We paid and left.

Diner Review №24

Very good place, the indoor is beautifull. Its no the cheapest but it worth it. The combinations of favor are exquisite.

Diner Review №29

Very nice decor, calm and relaxing atmosphere and fantastic pho

Diner Review №30

Not bad. Pretty middle of the road in terms of food. I had the pad Thai with chicken. The service was very good. I would come back but not my first choice for Thai

Diner Review №31

Poor sizes of food . This is a phili roll 🥺 I won’t be returning.not sad to say

Diner Review №32

Nam Sod was fantastic, light but filling. Wide range for the taste buds to enjoy. Most definitely recommended for lunch or a lite dinner.

Diner Review №33

Excellent service family resturant. Everything was perfect. Thank you

Diner Review №34

A really relaxed laid back atmosphere, the service was very friendly and the food was top notch. I had a sushi roll as I was not very hungry, it hit the spot. Very highly recommended.

Diner Review №35

Pad se ew was white and flavorless and took a minute to come out when restaurant wasn’t busy. Sashimi tuna was also not fresh.

My daughter ordered pad see ew with chicken, which is her favorite Thai dish, and she said it did not disappoint! I ordered the pad kee mao with seafood and it was so delicious! I loved the flavors and the traditional flat rice noodles. The only thing that could have made it better was adding more seafood. It came with 2 shrimp, 3 calamari rings, and 4 mussels.

Diner Review №41

Great food and great service

Diner Review №42

They appeared to be short staffed the day we visited. We were seconds from leaving. Once the food and wine arrived, we were glad we stayed because the flavors were outstanding.

Diner Review №43

We were traveling through & just happened upon this place from a Google search of something close by our current location. SO, So glad we did!! We tried several dishes so we could have a snack later also & not only was each thing we tried exceptional but there was enough for a full meal later instead of a snack. Good portions, great tastes & decent prices. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №44

Food was absolutely TERRIBLE, We used to love it here but the food just sucked. We got pad Thai take out and there was NO sauce on it and no flavor or toppings. Noodles were soggy and overcooked. Extremely disappointing. As a long time customer we will not be coming back here anymore. Such a waste of $50. I could have had better food at chic fila.

Diner Review №45

The food was delicious

Diner Review №46

Even though it's right off Pooler Parkway, it's so easy to miss. Thankful for the bright LED smoke shop next door, it's easy to come across. The veg spring rolls hit the spot. The ambiance is almost always soothing, which I love.

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

My boyfriend and I both had the Teriyaki entrée with tofu as our choice of protein. The tofu was LITERAL perfection. So good. Very satisfied!

Diner Review №49

Just off of I 95 in Pooler. This place is a must stop for Thai food lovers..The large appetizer plate was delicious and plentiful. The papaya salad was spicy and very tasty. They even have homemade cheese cake
.It's a winner. Give them a try

My Husband and I love this place, we first went here on my birthday it was fantastic. We have gone here 3 times since then, our third time eating here I was very disappointed. We placed a pick up order and when my Husband went in to pay the man kept our change, (without my husband offering) my sushi roll was all cream cheese and a small piece of asparagus, and we didn't get the sauce we had asked for.

Overall such an amazing restaurant. Service, food, drinks and environment were well above my expectations. Will visit again soon.

Diner Review №58

Excellent all the way around! Very relaxing atmosphere and service was phenomenal. We had Nagiri and spring rolls to start. I had the Sweet Basil Chicken which was delicious and very fresh. My son had a couple sushi rolls and said they were awesome.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

This is my 3rd time coming to this resturant. I have to admit I was that person that when you said 'Thai food', I would think that these homegrown Arkansas tastebuds can't deal with that. But some friends brought us here and we have now taken two groups of people here to eat including the 'kids'. The food is very good, the atmosphere is bright but not glaring but in a warm and welcoming way. Portion size and price are good. O, my oldest daughter makes a joke that we (hubby and I) were calling it 'Papa- Ya'. (smile).

Diner Review №62

Five stars ⭐️! Highly recommend this place . The food is delicious! Very delicious and authentic tasting . We love Thai food and this is better than expected.
papaya Thai food is just what I needed , I’m eating as I type this review 😊. Yellow curry yum!! We only ordered 2 dishes , yellow curry and basil Stir fry , take out , and both taste delicious , perfectly seasoned and very flavorful! Love it !
We did take out tonight but we might try to dine in tomorrow if we have the time as we are traveling .
If you like Thai food then I recommend you give this place a try
I usually eat a light dinner but as you can see from the pic I’ve almost finished the curry !

Diner Review №63

This place is a hidden gem. The best sushi in Pooler hands down. I totally recommend this if you are in the area. They also have great Thai food as well.

Diner Review №64

Great food best I've had in a long time

Diner Review №65

Came here for lunch today with some coworkers. Great service, restroom was clean, and great atmosphere! It was a little pricey, but worth it! First time I've tried duck and it did not disappoint! It was soooooo delicious! 🤤

Diner Review №66

Beautiful restaurant. We got there just before the rush thankfully for dinner! Phenomenal food! Sushi, curry, appetizers, duck, was all amazing! We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №67

Best in Pooler. Fresh, beautiful dishes.

Diner Review №68

Listen. Service is everything to me. You can not, not come back. I finished my margarita, that you said you didn't like. Before my apatizer came out. I loved it. I just sat, no more to drink. The whole meal. You asked of our neighbor table was ok, they gave you the thumbs up. Never asked if we were OK, half way through the meal, with our app plates and dishes still on the table. No more to drink, never asked if my husband ever wanted a drink??? Which is so weird?? You left him thinking until we left! I just can't. He didn't want to tip anything. I made him, for what he did. The pregnant girl, I wish we would of had her. She was smiling and attentive. Toni, Tori, something. You need a new job. 3//1/24

Thanks for my 15th anniversary ❤️. You definitely didn't nail it. Or ask. Or come close. Jeez. I think they should have a third sever, or more pregnant women. She Killed my night. Went and bowled, played pool. Had some drinks. Just DO NOT GO HERE FIRST.

And reservations mean nada. Just show up.

Diner Review №69

My favorite place to eat! Never disappoints!

My favorite is Papaya Stir Fry.

Diner Review №70

Looking romantic,nice place! Food delicious, but some dishes were very small but prisy.
The point that make disappointing of this plase" service "! I have to wait quite long to get my check, and given back my card! :(

Diner Review №71

Pad Thai did not taste authentic. Killer atmosphere though. I was spoiled with a Thai exchange student who cooked for us. So it’s a dealbreaker but I’d come back to have drinks with friends.

Diner Review №72

Adorable vibes inside, excellent customer service and the food is amazing!

Diner Review №73

Been here a few times. Food always comes out perfectly delicious. Sushi seems to be cut tiny. Overall a nice place

Diner Review №74

Diner Review №75

Always great food and atmosphere. Wait staff always have great tableside manners. The lambchops, salmon and thia porkchop is tender yet flavorful. Also must try the fish filet. It tender yet a little crispy. Never HD a bad meal here. Would give 100 stars if I could.

Diner Review №76

The food and service at Papaya is always top notch. I love the quaint ambiance in this establishment. It feels like fine dining without the high cost, and not too far from home. The Pad Thai Chicken and the Ahi Tuna salad are two of my favorite dishes. The sushi is always delish and fresh!

Diner Review №77

Great food and atmosphere. Services very fast. I eat here often and have never been disappointed.

Diner Review №78

Good food, very attentive to my food allergies. 👍🏾we managed to get our appetizers & meal after to tables who arrived after we did. So they lost a star for service. Food was hot the spice heat was perfect.

Diner Review №79

This was my first time having Thai food and it was amazing. I loved the sushi and the wine wasn’t bad either! And the restaurant decor was adorable as well!

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

Amazing experience. Did not expect that from a strip mall. This beats many fine Thai dining establishments I have partaken of. Prime Fillet Red Curry was lights out.

Diner Review №82

Great lunch spot

Diner Review №83

Food was super tasty.
Had the mango roll and it was delicious.

Diner Review №84

Sooo Good ! The food here is excellent. We had the Duck & Pad WoonSen & it has to be the best we ever had. Highly recommend Papaya Thai !

Diner Review №85

Visited 10/14/23 for a birthday dinner. Made reservations for a party of 10 ahead of time, called and confirmed before arrival. When we arrived they seemed clueless as to the reservation after not greeting members the party for about 10 minutes. They also failed to arrange appropriate seating together for the party. Once we were finally seated the server asked us the customers if they should have 2 servers or 1…weird question. Then she preceded to ask who all would be on what checks as she needed to know before we ordered anything even water. We later heard her tell another party it was only her and one other server working so it further wouldn’t make sense to have two servers on 1 party. Once we were able to give drink orders I asked for one of my favorites a Thai tea to be told they were out. About 15 minutes later a party seated after we were by the other server has a Thai tea brought to their table. I asked that server did they have Thai tea she said yes and brought one over. Our food took a while but understandable with a large party. Once it arrived we were missing items. The server mentioned the missing items but didn’t return to check in. So I approached her at the bar asking for the missing items. When the checks were distributed we were disappointed to see that despite her early request to know how to divide the checks they were still wrong. We also noticed her checking her watch each time a party came in after 8:30, they closed at 9:30. I will say the food was good everyone enjoyed what they had but the service was subpar. It’s probably worth taking the drive to Richmond Hill, same food, but with better and more competent staff and service.

Diner Review №87

It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Pooler. We had shrimp pad kee mao, pork chop, papaya salad and Thai iced coffee. They all came in fresh. Their chilly sauce was spicy and a little salty it was really good though. It made me put it on every dish we ordered. I will visit again

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Very nice ambiance. Pho… very nice taste but i missed that long simmer beef bone broth taste. No added tendons, beef balls, bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños. Very good though. Papaya… is the best I’ve tasted at a restaurant but still not as good as moms.
Summer rolls were good but needed mint.
All the food was very good. Left feeling happy and full.

Diner Review №90

Hidden gem in pooler. Recommend!

Diner Review №91

The sushi was good but they charge you $2 for a shrimp. Only gave me 3 boiled unseasoned shrimp with a small amount of unseasoned chicken with raw cabbage …. Highly disappointed. Red curry looks nothing like the pic and is very watered down.Waitress was sweet and kind

Diner Review №92

Excellent food, super quick service. I love this spot. ♡

Diner Review №93

The worst food I have every had at a Thai place and the server has not friendly either, please avoid thei place….

Diner Review №94

Pad Thai was tasty with choices of protein. Worth dining. Service is helpful.

Diner Review №95

Very good food. Good food portions. Waitress Ashley very friendly and courteous.Well satisfied!

Diner Review №96

The duck, lamb chops and sweat tea are amazing. The fried rice is the best i have ever had!

Diner Review №97

I stand corrected. I then ordered the wrong thing and got mad at the wrong people. Thank you guys for helping me figure it out and willing to fix the problem!

Diner Review №98

I actually ordered his Uber Eats, and had my allergy marked. They took great care in ensuring my meal remained allergen free! Whoever worked on my order tonight was the real MVP.

Diner Review №99

First time here and it will definitely not be our last. The T-Rex roll and Philly roll were very fresh and had a great flavor. The drunken noodles and sweet basil Thia were on point as well.

Diner Review №100

The food is so good!!! Definitely go!!

Diner Review №101

Delicious food excellent service and moderate prices.

Diner Review №102

This restaurant has superb customer service, good presentation and quality are great, and atmosphere is light and warm. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to try something new and if you enjoy curry and sushi dishes.

Diner Review №103

Been here before. I will
Give you an update Saturday

Diner Review №104

Kids size meal for avg $16 dinner. Salty soup. Too sweet noodles

Diner Review №105

The Pad Thai was excellent and the service was great.

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

Food is good, nice atmosphere and we had a really attentive waitress who was super sweet to our little one.

Diner Review №108

Very good always

Diner Review №109

Would definitely eat here again. One of the better places I’ve tried sushi albeit comparing it to some other disappointing experiences. Also ordered the Thai fried rice with chicken at $15.95. Was a little disappointed about the extremely minimal amount of chicken in the dish but it did taste good. For that price I wouldn’t order it again with the small portion and lack of protein I received. At first I thought it was missing the chicken altogether there was that little. Luckily I had a coupon to use on ubereats or I’d have been extremely underwhelmed at the quantity for what I should have paid. The soy sauce container was also so small it was impossible to dip the sushi into. I’m giving it a 4* because it satisfied my craving and was tasty but room for improvement. Looking forward to try other dishes.

Diner Review №110

We ordered the papaya sampler(appetizers), soup, pad Thai, chicken teriyaki, and 6 rolls. Everything was stunning and bursting with fresh flavor! Everything is made in house down to the sauces and you can definitely tell. Service was great also. Very clean, quiet little place. The variety of spice levels and protein options were also very nice. Definitely a place we will come back to!

Diner Review №111

This establishment was recommended to me as a really good place to get sushi. So dropped in for a Sunday lunch.

I started with some Miso Soup which was very flavorful. Then went with a Sashimi Platter for the entree. They allowed me to do a substitution from the variety on the menu. The fish was so tender and literally melted in the mouth.

My daughter had a Sashimi appetizer followed by two sushi rolls. All was delicious.

Well worth visiting for a very reasonably priced lunch.

Diner Review №112

We have tried many Thai places in the area and our first experience did not disappoint! The atmosphere is cozy and clean- great for date night! The service is great and the food was fresh and authentic. We had the fried rice and the pad kee mow- both excellent! We will be back for sure!

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №114

The PHO and sushi is freaking awesome

Diner Review №115

Best in the area.

Diner Review №116

The menu had a great variety and the food was awesome. Downside is the lesbian waitress kept hitting on my girlfriend multiple times. She made us feel very uncomfortable. Her name was Emma I think. This was on February 26th 2023. Definitely won’t be returning as long as Emma is there.

Diner Review №117

The service was good but the food is not as good as the price , they serve you the chicken with bones and skin, the rise is not as good either. Please go somewhere else.

Diner Review №118

Food was really good, service was fast, loved the ambiance of the restaurant

Diner Review №119

Really good sushi & Thai dishes and the restaurant was very clean

Diner Review №120

First time here, food and service were great. Will go back to try some more.

Diner Review №121

This place has some of my favorite sushi of all time. The Tom Kha soup is my favorite, especially when I have a sore throat. I only visit Pooler occasionally but am sure to stop by every time I am in town.

Diner Review №122

Very Good. Fun Date nite with my hubby 💖

Diner Review №123

12/19/22: A gem in an unexpected location. Yummy food and great service! Quaint location with an elevated menu. My favorites: The Papaya Tasting and Thai Fried Rice

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

Waitress was very attentive and food was delicious 😋 I will be back whenever I visit.

Diner Review №126

I called in my order expecting to get a dinner portion, but was shocked to receive this. It was $27 for these two VERY small portions. I called back to confirm my order with them, saying that “I’m pretty sure I paid for dinner portions but got a lunch portion.” The young lady who answered said that I got the “lunch” portion of green chicken for $11. 95 and shrimp massaman for $13.95. It’s clearly not worth it, and I will never be ordering from them again, it is a rip off. Anyone reading this needs to go to Sawaddee Ka Thai Cuisine & Pho at 111 Canal Street where they have literally DOUBLE the amount of food for a much more reasonable price, and if that didn’t help you make a better choice today than consider the fact that their food genuinely taste better. The only reason we ended up ordering from Papaya was the fact that Sawaddee Ka’s phones were too busy at the time and I really wanted curry. My fault for not waiting for good food and this is what I get, never again. Papaya’s saving grace would definitely be the young lady who answered my call, she was nice and accommodating, so that’s why I’m not bringing back the food for a refund and why this review isn’t a one star. I hope you can better Papaya and maybe one day you’ll get happy clients again.

Also why is the chicken green? This is the first time I’ve experienced a restaurant that dyes their protein…

Diner Review №127

Delicious, utterly unexpected as we wanted to dine near the airport lovely decor. Clean and neat restaurant . The service was excellent. Great bar and choice of cocktails and beverages. The fresh cod and vegetables were cooked to perfection, the soup was so light and fresh my husband ate it all and then had a large plate of Thai Terriyaki that he polished off. We will return and share it with everyone we know.

Diner Review №128

Waited 15 minutes and they never took our drink order. Understand being short staffed but we were sat and ignored.

Diner Review №129

love stopping by here when i want a good bowl of pho and don’t have to drive far. all of the waiters are awesome and seem to always be working hard, usually it’s only one person waiting on the whole restaurant. highly recommend :)

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Wasn't terrible, but not real Thai. Small portions for the price with no side, like a salad or soup included. Curry, although with some flavor, nowhere near traditional and way too sweet.

Diner Review №132

Very clean, good food and good service. I had the red curry with beef and it was delicious. I've only been there once, but I'll definitely return.

Diner Review №133

I'm always looking for some GOOD Thai cuisine and Finally. I stopped at the Papaya Thai cuisine here in Pooler, Ga. I had the Thai Curry green with chicken and (Spicy Green Papaya salad which was superb). The other did was salmon over vegetables it was ok but I Love spicy it was mild. So if you're ever in Pooler or even near give them a try. You won't regret it. Oh almost forgot the drinks were on point as well. Apple martini and the Savannah Mule

Diner Review №134

I was so disappointed when I saw that the Jungle Curry was soup texture.. it was so bland and tasteless. The only saving grace was the chicken satay and the pad thai were pretty good. $15 for a disappointing meal but there is potential here

Diner Review №135

John is great, the food and drinks are impeccable. Great place

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

we came here today and the waitress was extremely discriminating against us , we have 12 peoples , the waitress didn't care about us , we had to wait more longer than 20 minutes ..wow she didn't come out to take my order or even give us water to drink 🫣, so we went to the cashier and said to her, can we order food? she just looked at us with disliking attitude . I think maybe she has a lot of money so she doesn't need our money anymore 😅, it's so sad for such irresponsible and rude service ever.

Diner Review №138

Best Pad Thai around!

Diner Review №139

So this spot is Dope! Great food we love the sweet basil chicken and curry salmon. The sauces are top tier and flavorful. Nice decor and cute for a lunch or dinner date. Service is cool to, good energy. Definitely visit!

Diner Review №140

Walked in the door at 1:05pm on 06/30/2022 after leaving slapfish next door because of lack of service, stood and waited to be seated. There were 7 total people dining in at that time, we saw two of the people who worked there. One was moderately busy assisting another customer, and one literally stood and stared at us. After 10ish min, we finally left without ever being seated, spoken to, or anything outside of looked at then ignored. 0/10 would not recommend.

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

My wife and I really enjoyed our first visit today. She had the Pad Thai, which was tasty (although mild). I had the fried fish over vegetables with fried rice. The fish was lightly battered and seasoned well. The fried rice was outstanding. We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №143

First time in last night. Great food and interesting menu. The loud country music and ESPN on the tv clashed a little with rest of the place, but we had a nice meal.

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

1st time dining here, will definitely be back! Great food and staff...wish we had them in Statesboro. The Thai Curry with seafood was excellent and their sushi was the best.

Diner Review №146

Loved this place! We got the Dragon fruit Sangria, Thai Tea, Sizzling Duck, Chicken Pad Thai, Calamari, the Stuffed Avocado and Mango Sticky Rice. Everything was flavorful and affordable. Our server was knowledgeable and efficient. Wish I would have gotten her name. Dark hair with glasses. She answered all of our questions and gave good recommendations. Will eat here again and definitely recommend.

Diner Review №147

My new favorite place. I want to try something other than the Pad See Mao (?), but it's so good I just can't. 🤦

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

I have been twice to Papaya and also ordered take out. I am never disappointed. The food quality is great, the price are fair. Also, the service is fabulous. John provide an amazing service, always so nice to talk to and super efficient. Thank you so much! 💓

Diner Review №150

The noodles, the flavors, the decor, the experience. All 5 star. The duck......you must try the duck. Will be back and will recommend to everyone.

Diner Review №151

Great dinners

Diner Review №152

Great date night spot!! The Pho was very flavorful. 👍🏽

Diner Review №153

We got the softshell crab and the avocado and shrimp salad. Fabulous!

Diner Review №154

Wasn’t greeted by anyone! No one asked if I needed help! Nothing!

Diner Review №155

My wife and I tried this place because we drive by it all the time and got curious. We looked at the reviews and thought it was worth a try. I’m so glad we did. We’ve since been back several times because of the consistently delicious food, great cocktails, and impeccable service! The owner looks to be a veteran (bonus points) and we like like to support local business. We had dinner there again for date night last night and it was busier than I’ve ever seen it! That made us happy because we love to see a business thriving that truly deserves it. Our waitress, who we’ve had before and is so great, explained how busy it was and that food may take just a little longer. It didn’t. The kitchen was as efficient as always and staff was as friendly as always with the owner waiting tables, working the bar, and servers bussing tables. Everything was FLAWLESS! It’s a quiet and romantic atmosphere with incredible food and first class service, what’s not to love! To the owner, I wish you continued success. Your business deserves it! To our waitress, thank you again for the flawless service!

Diner Review №156

Worst pad se eu I've ever tasted!!! My 5 shrimp was like rockes. Very little flavor and the snow peas was substituted with green beans that also also altered the flavor. This is my second bad experience.

Diner Review №157

Fantastic place. The food was fresh and excellent. The service was fabulous and fast. I ordered Thai food and was very impressed by the quality.

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

Food was excellent, authentic and freshly made. Try the spring rolls , they are hand made.

Diner Review №160

Food is delicious. Restaurant is new and clean and has a nice vibe.

Diner Review №161

We eat a lot if Thai and sushi all over and this place was one of the best! Their Tom Kha soup was so flavorful!!

Diner Review №162

The handsome gentleman that works there always remembers us and what we like to eat. Chill atmosphere!

Diner Review №163

First and last time here!
I ordered the Pad Thai to-go. When I got there customer service was TERRIBLE! The bartender continued his conversation at the bar (I won’t disclose what they were talking about) instead of greeting me or letting me know anything. I ordered take out because I couldn’t afford to sit in and eat and tip. I got the bill and a tip was already added on! If that was the case I definitely would’ve sat inside.
Now on to the food. DISGUSTING! I didn’t finish my food because it was so bad I just had to toss it. There were more bean sprouts than noodles, it was very dry…no sauce at all and no peanuts, I asked for extra limes and only received 1, my veggies weren’t green they were grey because they weren’t fresh, I ordered chicken Pad Thai… why were there pieces of beef in my food. I cannot eat beef so that was another reason why I didn’t finish the food. Food definitely wasn’t fresh and I will not go back. Hopefully they make improvements.

Diner Review №164

Another great Thai dish at papaya

Diner Review №165

Great food and atmosphere. Sangria specials are amazing and fresh! Will definitely be coming back.

Diner Review №166

Had a great meal with Devin as our server. Plenty of food, prepared perfectly and friendly banter all evening. We will definitely be back. Excellent appetizer platter.

Diner Review №167

Devon and Brook were awesome! Loved the mixed drink, seared tuna & sushi!

Diner Review №168

It was ok. Wanted to take out initially but decided to eat in, therefore we were treated as such. I ordered a mai tai for a cocktail which I regret because it’s nothing but a mixture of artificial sweeteners and coloring.
Have gone back for take out only, if they are even open anyway.

Diner Review №169

Great food Great time. Comfortable atmosphere.

Let me start with saying it would be a 4.5 stars but I'm going to round up instead of down...

Food was great with the exception of the Unakyo (eel) roll. My favorite sushi to get is the eel wasn't a fan of theirs. The sauce on the top of the roll tasted like French dressing. The reason behind 4.5

Back to the review... We ordered a full spread ordered spring rolls and the tuna stuffed fried avocado (monkey brains) both were really good.. I ordered the Unakyo as stated above wasn't impressed very thin piece of eel usually prefer a hot eel roll. House salad and Miso soup ginger dressing was pretty good had a nice little spice kick to it. Miso one of the best Misos we've had. Ordered the Green Curry (w/chicken) that was amazing some of the best curry I've had from a restaurant nothing beats home cooked Vietnamese and Indian curry love having friends from other countries!! Also ordered the Thai Fried Rice (w/chicken) it was pretty good. Overall would still rate you a 5 was pretty impressed by the food. Service was good they were quick to keep the empty plates cleared and drinks full.

Went on a date night with my husband last week and I'm still dreaming about the yellow curry. A simple dish, but it was so good. The first I've ever had it. We also ordered the sampler appetizer which was recommended by our waitress--it was amazing. My husband ordered the lamp chops and said they were wonderful (I did not get to try any, he ate it too fast). I also had a sangria for $10 that I sucked down, not too strong and they had a ton of flavors. It's a good place for someone interested in thai/fusion but isn't sure where to start. There menu was safe enough for anybody! I can't wait to go back and will be spreading the word about this awesome place!

Wish I could give zero stars. John has horrible customer service, I cannot believe he’s a manger. Was double charged on Saturday June 12th because of a simple misunderstanding with spring rolls on a Togo order. I ordered 2 spring rolls, not two sets of spring rolls. Let me mention, me and my friend did a take out order and this was our first time here. Because of the misunderstanding with the spring rolls, everything had to be re-rung up and charged. Later we called on Thursday June 17th letting them know the refunds didn’t come. Unfortunately John picked up the phone, and was yet again having an attitude and said that the refund should be back by Saturday. So i was patient and waited until Saturday came. This is, June 19th. I waited until 7pm to call to see if the refund would come since it’s been a whole week and my card was still double charged. John picked up AGAIN and was arguing, yet again over the phone, that it was my banks fault and not the restaurants. Keep in mind, me and my friend both were charged twice. So how can it be both of our banks, when we have different banks? So I asked to speak with the owner of the restaurant, who he said “wouldn’t be there until Sunday”. I asked if he could leave my number for the restaurant owner he said “she’s too busy”. Then hung up after saying “whatever”. I’m sure every restaurant owner is busy, but they should MAKE time to right their wrongs. I called back again, this time he was really getting an attitude, he heard my friend in the back say “call the BBB because they clearly don’t want to help you. ” John didn’t like that and said “tell your friend in the back to stop talk talking s____ (cuss word), because we don’t have to help you with anything”. This was when the line was DEFINITELY crossed. John was rude from the beginning but this was extremely disrespectful. Horrible customer service, I can’t believe this guy is a manger. All I wanted was my money back, since I was double charged. I will NEVER come here again!

Good food

Diner Review №182

Absolutely amazing each and every time we come through. From the check in to the bar to the food. Everything is fantastic. The servers and bartender are very attentive and the drinks are excellently made. Service is also quick despite not having a lot of employees.

The food comes out piping hot every time and the presentation is excellent! The portions are just enough and never too much. The food is delicious and always tastes fresh. The servers and bartenders are extremely friendly as well. Overall, we make a note to come here at least once a month just because the bartender is awesome.

If you would like to have an exhilarating dining experience, this the perfect place for you! My family and I will not only add Papaya to our favorite restaurants' list but it is on the very top 3. What an amazing experience. The food... Oh the food... We had a crispy rolls which was one of the best Vietnamese style egg rolls we have ever had in Georgia. Our 10 year old daughter ordered pho. Her words were "momma this was the best pho since we left California". I ordered a spicy tuna roll. Great choice. It had a little Tai chili twist. We also tryed the Pad Se Eu, a stir-fried flat rice noodles with veggies, pork, tossed in a delicious black bean sauce. John, the manager is wonderful and made sure we had VIP service. Last but not least, the salted caramel cheese cake is to die for!

I had a huge craving for Thai food, and my Pad Thai was on point! But we also got the sizzling duck, we just didn’t know there was a sauce choice, so when we hesitated to decide, our server (who I think was in training) offered the sauce on the side for us. We agreed confusedly, even though there was no need for it, we were just surprised we had a choice between two styles and maybe took to long to answer? I don’t know for sure.

A bit later, a manager came out and let us know the chef wanted us to be aware if the sauce is on the side that the duck wouldn’t be “sizzling”. We both immediately said “oh that’s totally fine!” considering we didn’t really come up with the idea for it to be on the side in the first place. She looked concerned and asked us if we were sure. We said “absolutely”.

The food came out and like I mentioned earlier, the Pad Thai was on POINT, and a great portion size too! Absolutely fantastic. Oh, the Avocado Rolls were amazing as well, we had them as an appetizer. Highly recommend them.

Unfortunately, the duck came out with the sauce on the side. We kicked ourselves for confusedly agreeing at first with the server in training who suggested it. We didn’t mention that the duck was over cooked because we felt it to be partially our faults, even though we assured the manager that the duck could certainly be cooked within the sauce and we’d be perfectly happy for it. Instead of causing a problem we enjoyed our meals - mine being perfect - and took our leave.

Keep in mind if you go, hospitality is suffering right now due to understaffing. So I don’t want to be too hard on this place especially since they seemed to try and get it right for us but missed the mark a little bit.

Aside from the strange miscommunications and overcooked duck, it had a lovely atmosphere, seemingly full bar, & was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it for anyone who is craving Thai!!

My Family and I were traveling around town looking around for Thai food and saw Papaya Thai Cuisine and Sushi and decided to get take out from there.
We tried the papaya tasting, shrimp pad Thai, and pork pineapple fried rice. Everything was delicious!!! Very flavorful which is always a plus for me.. Husband really enjoyed it too! 👌👌👌

Shrimp over cooked. Other than that good

Great drinks and the bartender (possible owner?) is pretty knowledgeable, not to mention easy on the eyes. However, he's not much of a talker 🙃
