I have been a regular customer of Green Papaya since 2011. Living in the neighborhood, we visit this place for "lazy" lunches/ dinners quite often. Food is reasonable priced. Menu is simple but attractive enough. What else do we really need?
Last night I was there with my friend. We both ordered traditional beef dishes (oyster and blackbean). When we got them, dishes looked absolutely identical. The only difference was a disproportion of broccoli and meat ( lots of broccoli!) in the blackbean dish.
There was actually no sauce at all. In combination with steamed rice, it was very dry. When we mentioned it to our server, he said they remove sauce because we care about our customers. Actually this waiter (seems to be new and related to the owner) was arguing with any comments/suggestions we tried to express. At the end of our diner he did not like our decision regarding tips, threw receipt on a table and demonstratively walked away. Never before had I seen such disrespectful behavior.
Our evening was destroyed and after more than 3 years our relationship with this restaurant we decided not to come back there again.
