Delicious food. Super fast service. Pleasant atmosphere. Usually we order takeout. Many repeat visits.

Green Papaya is my favorite restaurant of all time. The food is delicious and authentic, and their pricing is very good! Other Thai places are less quality and way more pricy.The service and Green Papaya is phenomenal. The servers are very kind and ready to help! The food arrives fresh very quickly with hardly any wait.I have also had excellent experience with Green Papaya’s takeout. The quality of the food exactly the same with little wait to pick up the food and generous portions!Whether takeout or dining in, I find myself back there once a week. Endlessly worth it. All my love to this beautiful establishment and its staff!!

The Shrimp mango was “excellent” per my wife - spicy just the way she liked it.The chicken and vegetables was not to my liking- the chicken was over cooked and stiff.The stuffed wings was weird to see how it was done - never had a stuffed chicken wing before - with the sweet sauce it was good - strange but tasted good.We like spicy food, for us it was OK. Keep in mind if you don’t like spicy this might be too much for you.They have a really nice seating area for dining in and the menu has a lot of different dishes to try.The lady that took my order was very pleasant and friendly and our order was ready in 15 mins.I plan on going again to try some of the other dishes.

I tasted Salmon red curry. The salmon was soft and moist. There was very little curry because the Plate is almost flat to hold any curry. The minced chicken dish wasn't very tasty as I expected, again plate was filled with more rice and chicken sprinkled on top. May be my choices weren't good but didn't satisfy me. The service was good and very friendly.

Disappointed. I remembered this restaurant as having great Thai food. I had an appt across the street at Mass General so made sure I stopped in. The food ( soup and appetizer) were so lacking in ingredients. The chicken soup seemed to use old chicken, and the Fresh wrap had nothing but iceberg lettuce, mint and a small amount of tofu. Compared to other Thai restaurants where I have ordered similar menu items.. Green Papaya was mediocre at best.

All 3 dished we ordered came out perfect. Everything was hot and fresh. I had the ginger chicken and the veggies where cooked perfect. Not soggy and not raw.

Excellent food and great service. We ordered the Yellow curry with shrimp as the protein which was delicious. We ordered a side of the special peanut sauce as well which was a perfect blend with the rice.

Deeeeelicious! Everything was fantastic and no one in the party had tummy issues after. We had the fried rice, beef macadamia, beef lemongrass, spring rolls, and both versions of wonton soup. Great, clean atmosphere and environment. Appeared very sanitary!!

"Hot and sour" soup was decent; but, we found our chicken entrees mediocre. Both had a pasty quality to the two types of noodle dishes we ordered. Food was plentiful, though not worthy of a doggie bag.

Though I would prefer to be more spicy Thai food, the food tasted good. Thai tea is nice.
