Green Papaya Thai Restaurant

What a great suprise in a city full of ho-hum restaurants. The food is simply amazing. It is spacious enough for a large group and great for a business lunch also. I've recommended to friends and coworkers who have all thanked me for it. It's a must if you're in the are and worth the trip if you're not. Pros: Incredible Food, Great Service, Plenty of parking more

heres a thai reataurant that gets it right. the menu selection is great, with all of my favorites on it, like fried catfish with basil chili sauce, which other places dont always serve. they serve super-tall thai iced teas that go the whole meal, which is a really nice touch. the decor inside is simple but quite stylish, fitting most any occaision that might bring you there Pros: friendly atmosphere, huge menu, good prices more

What a pleasant surprise to find such a great restaurant in Alhambra, and it's less than a mile from our home! They serve some of the best Thai food we've had anywhere, and because it's one of our favorite foods, we've been to a lot of Thai restaurants over the years. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the service is very good, and dinners are very reasonable. The food is just as good as anything we've had in Bangkok. The owners are Thai and want to serve Thai food that is as authentic as possible. I highly recommend the Green Papaya. Pros: Good parking, Excellent food, Excellent service more

The best authentic Thai food I've had! Try their leek cakes, drunken noodles, and green curry. The soju martinis are awesome too. Great service, even better food. Ideal for small and large groups. I live in Hollywood, but prefer Green Papaya to any place in Thai Town! Pros: Excellent food!!, Inexpensive, Good parking more

This place is awsome. Excellent Thai Food with fast friendly service. Apparently it used to be a McDonalds. Turn them all into Thai restaurants as far as I'm concerned. EAT HERE. It's great! Pros: Great food, inexpensive, friendly waitstaff more

I recently had a fantastic meal at Green Papaya and will definitely be dining there regularly. The food really is as good, if not better than, anything you'll find in Thai Town. This place uses the freshest ingredients without skimping on anything (ex: only white meat chicken is used). Dishes are full of flavor and can be tailored to any degree of heat, as well as accomodate even the pickiest or diet-restricted diners. I asked if I could substitute chicken in a beef dish and it was done, no problem. Everything is of exceptional value--better quality, flavor, and pricing than anywhere in Pasadena or on the westside. The friendly and helpful service also distinguishes it from most restaurants in the area. Must-try dishes: green papaya salad, tom yum goong, penang curry, spicy basil stir fry, pineapple fried rice, pad thai, drunken noodles, and of course, mango with sticky rice. Pros: Great Food, Friendly Service, Exceptional Value more
