What Clients Say

After ordering a pick up order I showed up earlier than the order time promised. They were on the verge of closing and had no one in the dining area. A few orders came and went. I was just waiting. Without me having to check in the staff kept me updated on delays and would continually check in with me and apologize without any prompting from me. When they got me my food they surprised me with a free Thai tea for the inconvenience. I already love their food and service and this was above and beyond. So I had to speak to their customer satisfaction tonight and though I would be coming back either way this review would not have happened if it wasn’t for that above and beyond service.

I have been to this place for years since it was just a food truck. It has grown into it 2nd location and it's my first time here. Great spot and restaurant is super clean and opened. Review is solely based on this visit alone. Gotta say this was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. Everything came out quick and food was on point. Can't wait to come back.

The restaurant was nice, clean and air conditioned. Service was fantastic. Very attentive and kind staff. We ordered Pad Thai, KaoPoon, Spring Rolls, Nam Khao and Lao Sausage and everything was delicious. The Pad Thai was a little saucier than most places but I didn't mind. Thanks for the great meal!

Foods tasted delicious!!! Big and spacious insides. I should have added more spice to my food but it okay, food was still good!. Portions are just about right. Still need more sticky rice though. But still good.

I placed an order through doordash. I've been wanting to try Green Papaya for a while the food is excellent I got play Thai noodles and I got some rice that had chicken and tomato and pineapple in it and course spring rolls and a drink. I would say I will definitely be back but this time I want to go inside and see the atmosphere
