I was craving Pad Thai when I came to Green Papaya for a weeknight dinner with the family, so I ordered the Pad Thai.
I am still craving Pad Thai.
Green Papaya isn't a terrible restaurant, and it's clear that they're at least trying. The "Pad Thai" that I got was fairly edible, and the Tom Yum soup we had wasn't bad either. But Green Papaya, despite its name, isn't really a Thai Restaurant. It's another one of those pan-Asian restaurants specializing in sugary General Tso's chicken and half-assed renditions of other Asian specialties. They have some decently priced combos and the food isn't too bad, but I'm tired of going to these places.
Give me some real food. The kind that people eat.
I did get a small scoop of ice cream for checking in on Yelp, which was kinda cool.
As with my earlier review of Thai Island, I might actually be able to recommend Green Papaya if you really like mediocre whitewashed Asian food.
