| - Great food, great portions, and priced well, but the restaurant does have some quirks right now as it seems to be going through some transitions.
First the quirks, papaya itself seems to be under construction so you have to eat inside saigon pho and the menu's oddly say "jasmine thai" on them so clearly this is a restaurant in transition. I had some communication issues with the waiter, and the manager was not much more help with the language barrier, but the staff are the friendliest.
Now the good: food is great, sized to fill, and priced to please. The curry noodles were amazingly tasty! I usually enjoy pad thai, but this had me reconsider my new favorite Thai dish. The dishes are all aromatic and full of so much flavor.
Another quirk is the spice. I have pretty Americanized taste buds, but to me the food even when ordered mild, "no spice" and repeated a few times came out spicy. Nothing overpowering, but do be prepared. The good news? The Thai tea works great against the spice and its flavor rocks.
Atmosphere not the nicest, like I said I think this place is in transition, but sometimes I actually prefer a casual place to just eat and be filled with great tasting food.
