In all truth Thai Papaya isn't much to look at, but the food and people are fabulous. Ordering online is super easy and everything was ready at the promised time. I've eaten inside in the past and service is great, Well worth a stop for a delicious, casual lunch or dinner.

Had the mango curry and pineapple rice. Fantastic meal, friendly service, beautiful and well managed interior! Would definitely recommend ?

Parking: There is a large parking lot with ample parking in front of the building.
