Was my first time there, food was very yummy and servers where nice. I just found there was not much selection for mind options. But a good place if you like spicy food.

Haven’t been to the Green Papaya since they moved from downtown. The quality and service were still outstanding although the mains, like with many other places, seem to have experienced some “shrinkflation” (from what I remember). Nothing fancy but consistently quite delicious and impeccable service.

My friend had the pad thai, but hadn't seen the reviews. She had a bite or 2 and couldn't finish it because it was so ketchupy. I enjoyed my Pad Ki Mow. Staff could have comped my friends largely untouched meal, but the server asked no questions when told she could take it away. We will probably go back due to its proximity to the Gladstone theatre but will avoid the ketchupy pad thai.

Great Pad Thai in the middle of Little Italy. A lot of effort in maintaining an authentic experience. Lots of baubles to admire. They give free shrimp crackers to whet your appetite.

Green Papaya - quality issues - food doesn't taste like Thai Food
We ordered 2 Chicken Pad Thai, 1 Shrimpt Pad Thai, 1 Chicken Curry.
Pad Thai had just a little bit of chicken and noodles and sauce and nothing else. It was bland, and no other items like bean sprouts, eggs etc that is part of normal Pad Thai. There was no flavour, no peanuts or peanut sauce provided. This is like non Thai people making Pad Thai or complete cost cutting for a $17 plate. Pictures on the website show a different version of what wa sent home. The Curry was a joke, it was basically boiled chicken and a sprinkle of carrots and peppers. no coconut milk in the curry at all. There was no flavour and it was simply boiled food.

Bland food, simply cost cutting to not add other ingredients that are paf of Pad Thai.
HORRIBLE.
Don't waste your money.

Green Papaya franchise is need of help to get its value and quality of food back to par as this is not going to keep them in business.
I also remember the other Green Papaya on Baseline to be the same and have not eaten there since our last experience.

Very few Thai places use real basil and Thai spice. These guys literally have a mini garden for basil they pick from.

I eat a lot of Thai. Most places pass as good but they over cook their veges a lot and it’s still good because Thai food.

Green Papaya is the legend tier of Thai in Ottawa. Never been done bad here with over 100 visits under my belts. Always phenomenal. Best Thai in Ottawa, from portions to flavor to consistency, to the sit down, to the peanut sauce, to the heat of the food that actually makes you sweat.

Pas kra pao for heat is my go to but their curries are great. Always get a steamed rice on the side

The presentation of the food is art, not to mention delicious. Very impressed with this place. The atmosphere is great too. I will be back for sure.
