Mr Papaya Kitchen

Service is very slow and poor. Waited quite awhile to get our order taken and had to wait an additional 30-35 minutes to get our food. Had to ask for our water twice which we didn’t get until we were eating. Was also waiting for my smoothie which I wasn’t served until I was already almost done eating. Pho was not hot and was tasteless you can barely taste the beef flavor. The noodles were also breaking apart. Didn’t get our papaya until we were almost finish eating already to. I order the papaya mix with a little kapoon noodle inside but it was literally all kapoon noodles only barely any papaya. Was a very long and disappointing visit will probably be my last time eating there. Prices on the menu are also not updated. Bathroom is dirty and place was very unsanitary and stuffy. ALSO! If you do plan to eat here, call ahead of time to cause they close and open whenever they want to.

My fiancé and I can’t stop talking about the Lao style papaya here. The spice was perfect— makes you sweat but you can still taste all the flavor. 🤤 Their fried pork chop rice plate was also so good. We were very happy. I love sticky rice, but extra points for their sticky rice being purple when we went. (Purple sticky rice is more fun.) Service wasn’t as slow as some of these reviews are saying when we went (mid March 2022.) Important to point out the labor shortages and how restaurants are trying their best. If you want fast food, go to McDonald’s. 😘 Bring cash.

How can you be an owner of a restaurant in 2022 and only take cash lmao they don’t take debit or credit cards either. Their pho is tasteless and their steam rolls had no meat in it. The only decent thing there was the pork belly which was way too oily the Thai tea tasted like melted ice cream totally never going back here
