Just finished eating at Thai papaya. Overall, very happy with the quick simple dinner.

I got the curry shrimp based on the waitresses suggestion at a three spice level. Came with a decent sized bowl of rice and quite a few large shrimp flavor is great shrimp were delicious. This is maybe a fairly Thai dish and might not be for everyone, but I loved it. Tails on the shrimp lightly breaded with onions, strong curry, taste, and eggs cooked into the sauce. I didn’t really taste much spice so if you want spice, maybe do a four or five.

The ambience is very relaxed, I was asked to pick any seat when I walked in, overall they’re trying to replicate the vibe of a chill Thai restaurant and they do it well for it being winter in Utah.

Spoke with who I think is the owner/chef and she was very energetic and happy which is always a good sign.

This is a solid Thai restaurant, which with the number in Ut County is a compliment. It is a nice blend of casual and theme. While we enjoyed the dinner, it felt more like a great lunch venue.
Prices are spot on, portions generous - next time I'll order sides and one main dish for 2.
You can select heat in curry 🔥 (a 2 was pleasantly warm) the sweet and sour chicken was a very generous portion, did not have as complex a mix of flavors many Thai have, a bit sweet (from pineapple). Loved the non-breaded choice.
We will definitely return for a lunch treat.

YOU GOTTA EAT HERE. Superior Thai food, service, and atmosphere. Our waitress, First, made us feel very welcome and gave us excellent customer service. She recommended the mango smoothie, told me it's her favorite thing to make out of the whole menu, and made it really well for me. If you go and First is working, definitely order the mango smoothie and request her to make it. Anyway the food was ELITE and please come eat here. PS ORDER THE MANGO STICKY RICE SO GOOD AHHHHH

I had hoped to really enjoy this restaurant but it was only ok. The chicken Panang curry was flavorful but a bit too spicy for me (the server didn’t ask my preferred spice level). Also, it was served with white rice, instead of jasmine rice. The Lo Mein was a huge disappointment as the noodles were like spaghetti and the sauce tasted like something you can buy in a bottle. The inside was clean and nicely decorated. Prices were as expected. The service was minimal, as I went between lunch and dinner, and the server was setting up.

This was a really good place to eat. We really like Thai food and this Thai food is spot on. We always try to find a Thai place when we are around the country. And this scores high on the chart. We had the Pad see ew with chicken and the sweet and sour chicken - non breaded. Great flavors and large portions. Plenty enough for one or to even share. They have to go supplies ready for you. Give them a shot.

Authentic Thai Food ✨ My husband lived in Thailand for 2 years - He says this is the best one yet in Utah!

Thai basil pork was my favorite! This is an authentic Thai restaurant. Food was overall really good.

The only thing I disliked was the mango on the mango sticky rice. It was waaaay overripe to the point that it tasted like a spoiled mango.. also, it was a small portion ratio to the rice I was surprised (???)

Update:
I came in another day and tried their noodle dish. The sauce was a little too salty for me to enjoy. I finished all my water while having the meal.

You had me at $10 lunch special but you’re keeping me around with exceptional food. We’ve tried a little bit of everything at this place and it has all been good. Some naturally better than others, but nothing that I was like nah, that was a miss. Their Pad Thai, Massaman and coconut sticky rice dessert will undoubtably turn you in to a repeat customer. I loved the quirky atmosphere that was exactly on point and the kindness of the staff. Go!!

Super friendly staff and food was hot and so yummy! We had two different curries and Pad Thai.

Such a delicious place. Food was great. Servers need to be more observant, but we're polite and quick with the food.

Cute place that wasn't busy at 2:45 pm in the afternoon, but doesn't have very many vegan options. Nice staff.

Delicious!!

Absolutely loved it! The food was amazing and the perfect temperature when it was served. Our server was very attentive to our needs. She was always making sure we had what we wanted. The food was a perfect blend of flavors! 15/10 would recommend

Amazing food and staff!!

Original:So authentic and delicious ! We love coming here ! Their Pad Thai is amazing and every curry is great!

Update : they now charge extra for rice ( plain rice for curry) which I think its outrageous… and when ia asked about it the server had a terrible attitude and answer : nothing is free... Food was amazing but very disappointed with your customer service. Even another server apologized for her bad attitude but it just left a terrible taste-image .

The food is okay, but the restaurant is filthy which is unappetizing. Don’t look too closely at the kitchen.

the food is the best thai i have ever had. the lady at the front desk is so sweet and brought me my keys when i forgot them. they are open late hours so my boyfriend and i can always go pick food up when we crave it. the lobby is so nice and well decorated, and there is always good music playing. love it here!!

We loved most of our dishes here. The panang curry was super good. Drunken noodles were delicious. Orange chicken is very orangey! We appreciated all the veggies in their dishes. The teriyaki chicken was not what we expected, but we had a picky eater. They have large portion sizes and good service.

Four out of the 8 people in our group had tummy troubles after eating here. Probably due to high oil content. Waitress barely came around. Yellow curry was runny and gritty, pad Thai was good.

This was honestly the most disgusting food I think I’ve ever had. Easily the worst in Provo. And incredibly expensive. $40 for two adults, and we left over half of the food just sitting there on the plate as we walked out. Really really nasty, no flavor, and I’m confused about all of these reviews. If you have experience with delicious Thai food or even any type of Asian food, you will be very much disappointed if you go here. I would just walk down a little bit and go to El Tio.

UPDATE: The owner has now responded and said that she hopes we don't come back with the "manner" we gave to them. I have no idea what this means, probably a language barrier. She probably thinks we are rude because we didn't tip. 60% of our food was left on the table, so why would we. Plus she stood over me staring at me as she requested a tip, which is ridiculous. We really did hate the food, so I don't take back what I said. But the response from the owner is further evidence, this is not the place for you to waste your money. We don't tip for niceness, we tip when for good service and good food, and this place had neither. The waitress didn't serve us well at all. Very, very, VERY bad place to eat. It was just not good in any way. No flavor, horrible service, rude waitress, and now a prideful response from the owner.

Again, El Tio is seconds away. I have never regretted them once. Plus insanely nice people work their and own it. Thai Papaya seemed angry we were even there. They really need to learn how to serve people.

Urisa was such an amazing host and the food was phenomenal!!

We love it here!! Seriously one of our favorite places in Provo! The gai yum is amazing!!!

Authentic Thai Food ✨ My husband lived in Thailand for 2 years - He says this is the best one yet in Utah!

Oh-My-Goodness! Best Thai I've had outside of Thailand. My Brother-in-law and Sister in-law (who have lived in Thailand for years) were thrilled with the quality and authenticity of the food. Tom Kha Gai is wonderful! Brigham's Landing is not as convenient to get to as some locations, but it is soooooo worth it to get here. You won't be sorry. Highly recommended!

So delicious! Haven’t eaten Thai food like this in a long time! They even sell curry paste so you can make it at home

Food was inconsistent across dishes and just okay.

Such good food! Great portion sizes! And they were so sweet and accommodated our huge group even though it was 30 minutes before closing

Loved the atmosphere and service!!! They were lovely

Great location, super nice staff, and even better food. I am a Thai food snob sometimes and I loved the food here! Will 100% go back!

This is a solid Thai restaurant, which with the number in Ut County is a compliment. It is a nice blend of casual and theme. While we enjoyed the dinner, it felt more like a great lunch venue.

Aroi mak mak

Amazing quality and flavor.

5 Stars from the moment I walked in <3

Decent: The food. (On the spicier side)

Mediocre: The atmosphere. Dirty dishes on vacated tables. (It wasn't crowded or busy, so no real excuse for messy tables.)

BAD: The service. We weren't really greeted or welcomed in, but were told, "Sit where you like!"
The young lady who did come over to us never smiled or even sounded pleased to help us. In fact, it’s as if she wished to be anywhere but there!
We observed another patron ask politely for a container for their leftovers. That same young lady only POINTED to some plastic containers on the counter. No verbal response or show of kindness to actually give the customer what they asked for.

Dining out should be a good experience of food, atmosphere and SERVICE.

This young lady is likely unaware or, just doesn't care, that there ARE other Thai restaurants to chose from. So, I would definitely plan on trying them ALL before setting foot in this establishment.

The most authentic Thai food in Utah! I know it’s hard to find genuine ingredients here, but this place has done an amazing job. As a Thai person and someone who knows how to cook, I’m very picky about Thai restaurants but this one meets the mark. The owners are incredibly kind and always make me feel at home whenever I visit. The atmosphere reminds me so much of my home country, Thailand. I’ve even talked to them and asked about their secret, and they simply said, “The secret is we cook just like we would for our family at home.” I just wish I lived closer!

So delicious! We tried many dishes, and loved the pad Thai, cashew chicken, and house and massaman curry.

Excellent Thai and Lao food. Good value for the price too, especially for lunch.

This was a really good place to eat. We really like Thai food and this Thai food is spot on. We always try to find a Thai place when we are around the country. And this scores high on the chart. We had the Pad see ew with chicken and the sweet and sour chicken - non breaded. Great flavors and large portions. Plenty enough for one or to even share. They have to go supplies ready for you. Give them a shot.

The wait staff was nice and service was fast. The atmosphere is nice too. The one star goes to what matters most in a restaurant, the food. We got pad thai, pad see ew, yellow curry, and other things. It didn’t look good and it didn’t taste good. The noodle dishes lacked that char that traditionally gives them a smoky, caramelized flavor. The sweet, tangy, salty flavors were totally off. It was more sour than tangy and also too sweet. The seasoning in general was off. I understand having to substitute some ingredients at times but big chunks of broccoli in the pad see ew just didn’t work, maybe spinach would come closer to the Kai-lan and other traditional asian veggies. We have eaten excellent Thai food all over the east and west coast (including Provo) and Thailand, and this is just not real Thai. Sadly, whatever it is, it just doesn’t take good at all.

I have some mid Thai food (from a different restaurant) and I was not excited to go here.
For a small restaurant they have a great selection of food. We went with a large group and had a great variety. Everything was good and warm.

Don’t understand how it took me so very long to make it down here when I live in Utah. I did pickup and the chicken pad Thai and mango sticky rice were both hot and delicious!!!

If you like Thai food, this is the place to go. My husband and I have been there 2 or 3 times and have always been delighted. Take a chance, you won't be sorry.

Great Thai experience.

Great lunch specials, INCREDIBLE food, very generous portions

Small place..a little dirty…but the food is worth it. Excellent flavor!

Loved the Pad Thai! Our server was so attentive and I appreciated the tropic decor. They offer lunch specials at $9.99 that are very generously portioned. I'll come here again.

The food was amazing! The service was pretty fast & it wasn’t overly crowded or loud.

Better even than I expected with a restaurant with such high reviews. Outstanding isaan food! Loved Waterfall Beef, Basil with fried egg, sticky rice, etc!

Thai basil pork was my favorite! This is an authentic Thai restaurant. Food was overall really good.

The only thing I disliked was the mango on the mango sticky rice. It was waaaay overripe to the point that it tasted like a spoiled mango.. also, it was a small portion ratio to the rice I was surprised (???)

Amazing and authentic Thai food!

Great

I’m Thai people, would love to share :) food is yummy , all is perfect but only Thai Tea is taste not like Thai Tea and too sweet.

This is the most delicious and flavorful Thai restaurant I've encountered in Utah County, and I've lived here for several years now. The prices are fair, the food is great, and the portions are generous. What more could you want? Highly recommend if you're in the mood for Thai.

love this place !!!

It was so yummy and tasty and super fast service I definitely recommend if you are looking for authentic Thai in utah

Honestly I wasn’t impressed with the food and service. I had given them a 4 star last time I came but I came back and it wasn’t the same. The fried rice wasn’t great. The tables and utensils were super sticky as if soda was dropped and never cleaned. Also, we had to get up and grab our own cups and straws because they never gave us drinks and never came back to check in on us.

This was our first time coming here and it will definitely be a regular spot for us. Everything was delicious, the service was great, restaurant clean, and the shop decorated nicely. 10/10 would recommend for a good Thai place!

This is incredible! Best Thai food I have ever had, service was incredible. I go here way to often and everything I bring someone they leave in shock because of how great it is! Strongly reccomend!

The food at Thai Papaya is some of the best Thai cuisine I have ever had. My favorite dish is the papaya salad, and I love all the curry dishes. The customer service is top-notch, and the owner and staff are always incredibly helpful, friendly, and amazing.

Delicious Thia food. Generous servings and great service.

THE best Thai food in Utah! It is authentic!

They have great curry and pad thai, and a wonderful ambiance inside!

Food was fine, but nothing special, on the flavorless side. Maybe the people who rate it highly haven’t had good Thai food? I ordered a Thai ice tea I didn’t drink (tasted like it had gone bad), but staff was kind enough to not charge me for it. The one good thing was their spice level, ordered my food spicy 8 and it was decently spicy. Probably wouldn’t come back though

This place is the best! We came in way too close to closing time and our server could not have been nicer about it. The food is also amazing, especially the Thai papaya salad. Definitely recommend!

Best Thai food in the valley!!!!! And service is on point.

I asked the server how good their Pho was!! She bragged it up. I would say it was close to the worst pho I’ve ever had. Brough was okay. Very little noodles and none of the toppings. Won’t be back. Ever. Self service on everything.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Delicious food, great service and a wonderful “homey” atmosphere!!

This place is honestly sooo good! We stayed past close and the service was still super good. Food was amazing. Ordering was a little rough buts that's cause we made it confusing ahahaha

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The massuman curry is rated the best meal for a reason. Everyone around me had to have some. The taste of the food was the highest quality I’ve had at any Thai place. The mango rice to finish up the meal is a must.

Thai papaya was honestly the best Thai food experience I've ever had! Went with my college friends and got the best curry. 10/10

The workers are so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious!! Excellent customer service and not long of a wait!

SO YUMMY!! My husband and I come here a lot and it never disappoints. The service is wonderful and food is always amazing.

Dan and his wife have created the best Thai restaurant in all of Utah. The flavor in the sauces, curries, and all dishes are so much more favorable than any Thai restaurant I have been too. The cooks are so perfect with what they cook and they are very kind and friendly to customers. The waitresses and waiters are so kind and friendly and make you feel so comfortable. I would say Thai papaya cuisine is truly the tastiest Thai restaurant in all of Utah and best Thai restaurant in any city in the USA. I can't believe that Thai papaya cuisine is not rated 5 stars or more. I am from the bay area calif and it far better than any Thai restaurant I have eaten at I'm the bay area too. Dan, his wife, and his mom and sister are incredible chefs and are so kind to customers to make sure there visit is spectacular. Next time I talk to them I am gonna offer to help wash dishes for free whenever they want me to especially on super busy days cause they have designed the ultimate Thai food restaurant and all employees are so kind and helpful.

Amazing people and service. THE FOOD IS AMAZING!! 😋

Delicious Thai food ...made just like in Thailand!!!

Great food! Try the waterfall salad

The owner Dan l, is a great guy. His work ethic is second to none. Lunch special is a steal literally can't get a better deal anywhere in Utah County.

Great food and feels healthy and fresh for how fast they are. Great people too!

This place does not cease to need and exceed expectations in terms of authentic Thai food, kind service, and a huge variety of delicious dishes. This is our go to spot for Thai food.

Last night we got some of our favorites with the chicken green curry, chicken pad Thai, and chicken Thai fried rice which are the best I’ve had in Utah County. We also branched out and got the chicken ginger noodles, and pad prik chicken, and oh my goodness, they might be our new favorite.

Thank you พี่แดน Dan and พี่ปุ๊ for your kind service always and the delicious food that just keeps getting better!

Great curry, loved it

Brigham's Landing in Provo has a gem! Need to try! My experience was phenomenal, and the food is great! They are attentive and friendly, and the service is prompt. The food is worth the wait! I had the Pinapple Fried Rice and Fried Gyoza- loved it.

I came in tonight with my friend who like this place and it was really good like my friend told me. Will be back for sure

อร่อยมาก เหมือนกินที่ไทยเลย

It was a lot of people tonight. The service is a little slow but I can see that he is trying to get stuff done. The food was great. I came here all the time. And the food is delicious as always.

I grew up eating lots of Thai food and this food was good, but not great. The massaman was above average, but everything else was just okay.
The service was no doubt the worst I've ever had. They never cleared plates, never refilled water, forgot to bring out our dessert, and never checked in with us. They weren't busy, but just sat there behind the register. Us and several other tables were refilling our own water and going to the front to ask for things that were never brought. The only good service came from the cook that was in the back. She was very nice and helped us when we weren't getting what we needed.
Overall, food was not bad but would never go back again because the service was so terrible.

Ok, so this place has really good food, but because of that, it's fairly popular, I went on a Tuesday and it nearly at full capacity, staff were pretty busy, not a whole lot of space for a big guy like me to move around. The food is also on the pricey side and since it's a smaller building it tends to be pretty loud.

Our favorite Thai food. Their Pad Thai is especially delicious, but they make great cashew chicken, masaman curry, and fried rice too. We especially love their lunch deals, which give you a lot of food for only $10 each. Dina is a wonderful server.

First the good news. The Green curry was delicious. One of the best flavours we have ever had.
And now the rest.
Service: TERRIBLE. We had to ask the waiter three times to bring us our rice order that we wanted with our soup appetizer. After 25 minutes of waiting and repeatedly asking, he literally tossed it on our table like we were bothering him. It took over 20 minutes to get our drinks. We asked for peanuts on the side as my wife is allergic to them. The Pad Thai showed up with peanuts on the plate instead of a side dish. When we tried to point this out, he avoided our table so she ate a little from the far side of the peanuts. After our main course was delivered, he never returned to ask how we were doing and never picked up the used appetizer dishes. He would just sit at the till and drink his Big Gulp and look around the room.
Food: AWEFUL. The Pad Thai noodles were under cooked and barely edible. The Ton Ka Coconut soup was watery at best and without much flavour. The potatoes in the Green curry were under cooked and could not be mashed with a fork. The beef was like leather. The rice was under cooked and also quite difficult to eat. The Pad Thai had no flavour whatsoever.
When we finished eating, we barely ate half of what we ordered and we didn’t take any home as it was simply not worth the effort of trying to get boxes from the waiter, because although he saw all the uneaten food, he didn’t offer any.
We have eaten in DOZENS of Thai restaurants and this one easily rated the worst.

You had me at $10 lunch special but you’re keeping me around with exceptional food. We’ve tried a little bit of everything at this place and it has all been good. Some naturally better than others, but nothing that I was like nah, that was a miss. Their Pad Thai, Massaman and coconut sticky rice dessert will undoubtably turn you in to a repeat customer. I loved the quirky atmosphere that was exactly on point and the kindness of the staff. Go!!

The food is absolutely delicious and full of flavor!

Best fried rice I've ever had! The massama curry and crab wontons are delicious 🤤 portions are large and food comes out hot and fresh.

Pad thai is better at Thai Evergreen in Orem in my opinion 🫣

This is the best place to get Thai food in the area. Really fresh and flavorful.

The food was incredible, and the service was great. Shout out to Dan!

Updated Review: Only on Crying Tiger and Chicken Satay

After my first experience of their crying tiger being mediocre. I decided to go back and try it again and call ahead of time. Since if you know crying tiger it takes time to prepare and make.

This time around it was a lot better and more fresh. The sauce they use is a little different than others, but still is very tasty.

On top of that we order the chicken satay and that too was pretty good.

So if you want crying tiger and you want it fresh please be patient and make sure to call ahead of time because crying tiger takes time to make correctly and you’ll have to wait for it, but it will be worth it.

Go check them out and try it for yourself 😃

Very friendly service and the food was excellent. They were able to easily accommodate my food allergy (coconut), which was very much appreciated.

Definitely recommend the pork fried rice, spicy orange chicken (not too bad), shrimp pad Thai, and dumplings.

Thai papaya offers authentic food at a great price! We went on a Saturday and it was packed! That didn’t take away from the great and fast service. We ordered different plates to share and nothing disappointed. The food was rich in flavor. Will be visiting this place again for sure!

Strip mall Thai food. It was pretty good. My husband had the Crying Tiger (steak) and I had the House Curry. The curry was yummy, and spicy and the steak passed the hubby test. Service was really slow, and the atmosphere was typical strip malls style.

Amazing authentic Thai food!

The best fried rice (Thai with chicken) I’ve had since moving to Utah 3years ago. Lucky BYU to have this awesome food so close.

The food was AMAZING!!! We went here for Valentine’s Day and we were so happy. The service was a little slow, but they seemed super rushed in the back and they said they were understaffed so it was chill. It’s probs my my favorite restaurant I’ve had here. The size, price, and taste were all amazing!!

Excellent food!! 5 stars!!

Just amazing food! Excellent job, Thai Papaya Cuisine!

One waitress on a busy Friday night, but she did a great job. My husband claims he had the best pad thai he ever tasted!

We LOVE this place. Get the orange chicken and massaman curry. You won’t regret it. The owner is so nice and the portions are big. Great price for what you get. The inside is very well decorated and ambient.

Yummy yummy

Such a lovely restaurant. The workers are so kind and sweet. The food was delicious and filling. Amazing prices for amazing quality! You have to go here!

This restaurant have real Thai food , อาหารอร่อยมากรสชาติเหมือนที่ร้านอาหารในไทย เจ้าของร้านน่ารัก

Delicious Thai food and great service, thank you Thai Papaya!

Great doscovery... will be back!!

Nice location. Friendly staff. Good food.

my favorite thai food in provo/orem

If you're looking for the most authentic Thai experience, look no further. Thai Papaya is the place for you. Take a chance and step outside of your genetic pad Thai or Orange chicken. You'll find some hidden gems. Their home made desserts are probably some of the best you'll ever have. I'll have what I'm having.

Cooked to perfection, crying tiger and curry. Homemade ice cream with fried banana is amazing. It won’t let you down!!!

My partner and I had our first date here a year ago and it has since become one of our very favorite places to eat. They have so many options and all of them are delicious! Service is always nice and the food is packed with flavor and always fresh! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

Ordered pickup online to celebrate the NEW YEAR. Ordered Chicken Pad Thai ( a standard) and Parang Curry with Chicken ( New dish for me). Both were delicious. I have leftover Parang, so it's a good thing I ordered extra rice. Restaurant was clean and good smelling. Wonderful atmosphere and food!!!

Amazing Thai, really hit the spot for my craving! So, so good!

If I was only able to eat out at one restaurant for the rest of my life, it would be this place without hesitation. They prepare the most genuine and traditional Thai food you will ever find within the states, and at times their dishes taste like they were prepared and delivered straight down from heaven. I have and will continue to recommend Thai papaya cuisine to everyone, and especially those who are looking for a unique and delicious Asian experience.

Flavorful dishes at a great price. We got the Massaman Curry and the Pad Thai and left pleased and very full. You can easily share one entree between two people.

Amazing flavors. Great service. Impressive value (large portions for low prices).

Recommended by another Foodie friend, I took my wife to Thai Papaya Cuisine. We arrived at peak 7:00 on Friday night. The place was full with nobody but us waiting for a table and 1 table being cleaned up. I think someone should have shown us to a table and brought us menus, but under the busy circumstances it was a little awkward for us for the first time visit.
Now, as we looked over the menu, my favorite "Kua Kai Rice Noodles" wasn't available but they have an otherwise full menu and some specials. We ordered the BBQ skewer sampler appetizer, Massaman Chicken Curry and Combo Pad Thai (pork, chicken & beef) and a fountain Diet Coke.
The BBQ and Curry came out in 10 minutes, the diet Coke requested and then received 10 minutes later, and the Pad Thai took longer at 20 minutes after that (after a gentle reminder).
The food is very good. The BBQ Skewers are served with a spicy pepper seed sauce that goes well with the shrimp and beef. I asked for and received an additional side of peanut sauce for the chicken that was a much better complimenting sauce.
The highlight for us was the saucey noodles of the combo Pad Thai dish. Very flavorful. I used some of the BBQ pepper seed sauce to add a little more kick to a couple bites of the noodles that I also enjoyed.
I really enjoyed the food. For me, due to service slips I think I'd prefer to order take out from here in the future.
Current lunch special menu photo added.

Went here with a friend right as they opened. We had an amazing soup served with rice. We also ordered some deep fried tofu which was phenomenal. Very friendly staff. Great food.

Everything we get here is so good! We usually start with the cream cheese crab wontons which are the best anywhere we’ve ever had. We love the pad Thai, pad see ewe, massaman curry and combo fried rice. This is honestly the best Thai food you’ll find outside of NYC. We eat Thai all over the US and have eaten everywhere in Utah… I promise you, this is the best.

Surprisingly good

great find across from hotel. nice distance to walk after being in vehicle for awhile.

impressed with menu and quality

Good food at reasonable prices.

First time trying Thai food and it was delicious! Was told about this place and they did not disappoint. I got the Massaman Curry dish and it was sweet and savory! With cashew, chicken, rice and veggies it was a great combination! And their fried dumplings and noodles were delicious. Will be visiting this place more. Highly recommend this place!

The meat sampler was underwhelming. The best was the shrimp and chicken wing. The curry was ok but overpowered by the basil.

The food is pretty good. My wife and I typically get their curries and enjoy them. However, they don't always ask for your preference on spice level. If you want the level to be something different, you're going to have to bring it up yourself. Which is a little emblematic of the service in general. There just isn't much attention to detail and seemingly little effort to make you feel welcome or special as a guest. It feels like a fast food environment that you just happen to sit down for. I would also avoid drinking their water. There is something very off with it. Order a soda or something else, the water is just bad.

Service and atmosphere are great but the food is really amazing. Pad Thai was the best I’ve ever had

i am a very picky eater but this place overrides all of my eating concerns. i only had the pad thai with the chicken and the homemade coconut ice cream. pad thai was delish, the chicken was AMAZING even though it did not look like it was going to be. it is a lot of food for a very cheap price in my opinion, one dish was enough for 2 people. they also have the cutest plates to split said dish. the service was so kind and the place is CLEAN. those floors where so shiny they were reflective, so i was not concerned about where my food was. the homemade coconut ice cream was really good too, the added mango and peanuts made it top tier. i will say it is more ice than cream but i enjoyed it. i will definitely go there again but i will be having their rice because it looked SCRUMPTIOUS.

Good place to eat. Just a warning they add an unusual service fee. Pretty funny when they usually only have one or two servers to handle the whole restaurant. So don’t expect your drinks to get refilled, etc, like in a typical restaurant. So I’m not sure what they are charging extra for. But I am a fan of the food here.

อร่อยและบริการดีมากค่ะ

👍 great !!!!

Delicious

The food isn’t not good Thai food. My pad thai had a lot of sauce and the shrimp was mushy. The curry paste, we suspect isn’t homemade. I have been to Thailand, grew up in New York City where there is amazing Thai food. I've also had really good Thai all around the country. The food here seemed more like Americanized Thai food but was edible though..

*UPDATE - I gave my review from my prespective. Unfortunately the owner doesn't care for what I think and can't take criticism. I can respect other's opinion and still present mine. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree here. I grew up in fast food restaurants, so I do know how hard the workers can work, but you gotta not attack people for their honest opinions.

Delicious food, and a menu with variety enough for culinary adventurers and those of more timid palate alike.

Busy & long wait. Noodle one is so good but the crispy chicken is not crispy as it should.

Everything we tried was wonderful

The owner Dan and his family are so kind and the food is delicious! Great customer service. Will definitely be back!

Good food but what is with the 4% service fee on top of sales tax? Total bill fees not including tip was over 12%. Service also wasn't great. Didn't check on us once or refill our drinks.

Great food and serving size is great! Ordered fresh rolls, combo pad Thai and beef curry. But the waiter has literally no customer service. As we got here menu’s were tossed on the table he never asked what we wanted for a drink. Never introduced himself. After dropping our food on the table he never came back to check for refills or anything.

One of the best in Utah, and I eat a lot of Thai food. These people moved here from Thailand to make amazing food. Not only that, but they have the best value lunch menu out of all the Thai restaurants. Because they hail from the Isan region, their presentation and construction of Isan dishes is spot on. Isan food is the best food in my opinion, so its my personal favorite and it delights me when they get it right.

Their pad Thai was also wonderful, using all authentic ingredients and no americanizing. Usually something sweet and something red makes it into this dish at other places, but not here! Their pineapple curry, perfect. Their teriyaki chicken was good too!

I highly recommend them and it was great talking with them too about their family.

Delicious Thai food with so many options! The restaurant is clean and cute, with a beautiful painting covering the back wall and a bamboo ceiling. It's not super large but has several booths as well as tables. They take reservations and walk ins. Their spring rolls and massman curry are some of my favorites! They also have a great lunch special with a great combo deal.

Great atmosphere and incredible food.
Try the house made coconut ice cream, it's delicious!

Too good Thai restaurant!

Love their crispy rice salad

so yummy

Best thai food in provo!!!

Great food

The food is delicious and filling, it's not one of those restaurants where you walk away hungry. Our server was absolutely fantastic; he was one of the most friendly and hospitable waiters I've had in a long time. One thing I like about this place is that upon request you can choose how much spice is added to your food from 1 to 10, with 1 being barely any and 10 being deathly spicy. I really love spicy food so I went with a 4, and that was just the right amount of spice for me

I'm genuinely surprised at how bland the food was. Honestly trying to calculate how this restaurant is a 4.8?

The food is great and the ambiance is fun, however, none of any of the tips go to the servers and I just can’t get behind that. If you want to tip, give it straight to the server in cash. Love Thai papaya, hope this can change!

The food is super good. The place was busy and it took a little longer to get my order. Nevertheless the food was absolutely good
