I placed an order through doordash. I've been wanting to try Green Papaya for a while the food is excellent I got play Thai noodles and I got some rice that had chicken and tomato and pineapple in it and course spring rolls and a drink. I would say I will definitely be back but this time I want to go inside and see the atmosphere
definitely a great spot for authentic Asian food! The flavors are always on point, and the dishes are consistently tasty. It’s one of those places you can visit often and always leave satisfied. Whether you're a fan of their classic dishes or exploring new ones, you’ll be in for a treat every time!
California Hip Hop artist SpenDoe is back with another restaurant review! I first discovered Green Papaya on The Food Network. I decided to hop in my car, and drive a distance to try their noodle soups in Stockton, CA. I must say, their food is bomb! The freshness, the spices, and the way the flavors blend together.. Amazing! Staff is friendly, and the place is extremely clean. If you are in Stockton, CA then check them out. They also have a food truck, btw.. Support your local businesses.
The food here is always delicious. Rich creamy curry, refreshing spring rolls, and perfectly balanced tom yum. 👌
We first had their food when they had a food truck at the Hmong new year in sac like 8 years ago I think and from that moment my wife and I were on a mission to see them again. So here we are at their physical location in Stockton and it was like we first remembered it. Amazing food and very friendly staff. You won’t be disappointed, only disappointment was they were out of the nam khao. We will be back.
Foods tasted delicious!!! Big and spacious insides. I should have added more spice to my food but it okay, food was still good!. Portions are just about right. Still need more sticky rice though. But still good.
Excellent food. Got Pad Se Eew Chicken, Red Curry Shrimp, & Lao Sausage. We ordered to go and was ready in less than 15 min. Really a 4.5 star, but google doesn’t let you do half stars. I can see why people don’t like the atmosphere. Decor is minimalist and the acoustics are awful. However, I’m a good first reviewer and have had lots of Cambodian, Lao, & Thai food where this compares highly to some of the best. Lao Der nearby is more authentically Laotian, but Green Papaya is still very good. Prices may be high for the area (don’t really know), but good compared to overpriced Bay Area.
The restaurant was nice, clean and air conditioned. Service was fantastic. Very attentive and kind staff. We ordered Pad Thai, KaoPoon, Spring Rolls, Nam Khao and Lao Sausage and everything was delicious. The Pad Thai was a little saucier than most places but I didn't mind. Thanks for the great meal!
I have been to this place for years since it was just a food truck. It has grown into it 2nd location and it's my first time here. Great spot and restaurant is super clean and opened. Review is solely based on this visit alone. Gotta say this was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. Everything came out quick and food was on point. Can't wait to come back.
After ordering a pick up order I showed up earlier than the order time promised. They were on the verge of closing and had no one in the dining area. A few orders came and went. I was just waiting. Without me having to check in the staff kept me updated on delays and would continually check in with me and apologize without any prompting from me. When they got me my food they surprised me with a free Thai tea for the inconvenience. I already love their food and service and this was above and beyond. So I had to speak to their customer satisfaction tonight and though I would be coming back either way this review would not have happened if it wasn’t for that above and beyond service.
