Green Papaya - Mariemont

I had a terrible experience at Green Papaya. The waiter was extremely rude and openly racist, which made us feel completely unwelcome. The service was horrible from the start, no friendliness or professionalism whatsoever. To make matters worse, after we paid for our meal, they didn’t provide a proper receipt. When we asked for one, the waiter just scribbled something on a small piece of paper and handed it to us. I’ve never experienced such unwelcoming and disrespectful behavior at a restaurant before. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The food is consistently hot, fresh, flavorful and delish! A word to the wise - be patient! Their small but mighty team (sometimes 1 server who works all day, plus 2 chefs) gets the job done and they work their tails off. 🥰

For those confused about the “ginger” salad and its dressing - it’s actually a sesame dressing - super delish and I always ask for extra when I order.

My fav orders: Mango Curry, Mango Fried Rice, Pad See Ew with chicken and of course, tom kha and the green papaya salad - spicy level 2!

Had the lunch specials I ordered rice and my wife ordered sushi box. Both are good portion good combination and delicious to taste. I ordered a spice level of three which it’s a bit pushing it but it’s well worth the flavor.

I ordered the Buddha Roll and lunch box special which comes with soup, appetizer, rice or noodle, and 2 choices for your main course. I chose Pad Thai and Mango Curry and both of those with steamed tofu. I meant to order brown rice and forgot and I came with white rice, but that was on me and not them. The spring roll appetizer had to much wrapped and to little filling. The spring roll was "meh" but the rest of the food was very good. We had 4 people in our party and had multiple items ordered and shared various things. It was not crowded when we arrived and the service was fine.

Vegetarian options: You can choose tofu with many of their dishes. I felt the selection of vegetarian options was good. They also had a number of vegetarian sushi roll options.

The pineapple fried rice had a good flavor but the tofu was completely unseasoned and extremely bland. Slow service, hardly checked on, and a really weird/off-putting atmosphere. Could've been better but also could've been worse so eh. Sushi was good at least.

Excellent service and even better food. Five stars all around. The Ambience and classiness yet subtleness is present. Highly recommending this place in Mariemont (Cincinnati) to all newcomers.

First visit? not impressed, however, Crazy Noodles with no meat was delicious ?… my only complaint’s is that I ordered a ginger salad and it looked good and fresh, I was drooling getting ready to dig in when I noticed the dressing was chunky brown like peanut butter and it smelled like peanut butter!☹️??‍♀️?I told the young lady it was peanut butter and with confidence she said “no ginger”… yeah ok… I sent it back because I know what peanuts and peanut butter looks and smells like. My other issue, she tried to charge me for it, reluctantly she removed the salad charge. Mt other issues was, we told her two checks and I’m trying to figure out why my friend bill was less <$30 and my bill almost $70???after 3 times my friends food was still included in my bill… I just paid and left…. Would I return??‍♀️As said, the food was very good! Clean bathrooms!
