Crispy Honey Chicken is always the best! Fried rice is a bit lacking in soy sauce or seasoning & the chicken didn’t taste that great. The steak bites are pretty good also!

Absolutely horrible service. Tried to send my pho back because the beef was not cooked properly and the server got unbelievably defensive rather than simply apologizing and fixing the dish. Terrible experience, don’t waste your time by going here.

Pho was good, portion was generous. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful! She was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her great attitude and excellent service really made our dining experience enjoyable. We’d be happy to come back just to be served by her again! Highly recommend

I always order pick up here on my lunch and the food is great however whenever I go to pick my food up there’s a hostess or server up front who is extremely rude every time I come in, like I’m inconveniencing her. The only reason I go back is because of the food and convenience. Service is lousy

I had a fantastic experience lunch time at this restaurant! The lady in the front was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious, there was a Karen who tried to make a scene and almost ruin our lunch, but the staff handled it quickly. Service was prompt without feeling rushed, and our waitress checked in just the right amount. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is priority here. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and excellent service

Overall a very excellent place. We visited on a super busy Sunday evening, and could not have had a better experience. Service was great, especially our waitress. She was running the whole front end of the restaurant!! The food and drinks were really good, their Thai tea was amazing! Keep up the good work
Papaya is a well-regarded restaurant located at The Landing in Renton, known for its exquisite Vietnamese cuisine. While the customer service is generally commendable, I did experience a problem in getting a refill of water. I had asked the male waiter for more ice and water, but he didn't return until it was time to settle the bill.
Despite that minor issue, the restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere where patrons can enjoy delicious meals and then take a stroll along the strip or catch a movie next door. My favorite dishes include grilled pork belly with egg over rice in an iron pot, papaya salad with shrimp skewers, and oxtail noodle soup.
If you find yourself near The Landing in Renton, I highly recommend visiting this establishment. Additionally, they offer a 10% discount for Boeing employees, which can be claimed by showing your badge to the waiter. Just make sure you genuinely qualify for this discount.
I can't speak for the service, as I only ever get takeout or delivery from Papaya, but I love that their food is consistency good. The food tastes fresh, and I can always count on it being delicious and pretty on time. I have noticed when I've been out shopping in the area and stop in for a takeout order that everyone working there seems really tired and a bit muted emotionally, but since I never dine-in, it's not an issue for me. Restaurant workers are allowed to be tired in my opinion, but not rude like a few of the other reviews state.
Also, the person who gave a 1 star review for letting Door Dash's confusing UI trick them into a 10% tip could just complain to Door Dash about it... restaurants don't design Door Dash's UI lol.
Our favorites are the tofu avocado fresh rolls, noodle salad bowls, pho, and my husband really likes their fried rice.
Anyway, I'll definitely keep coming back for take out and delivery orders. I order like 1-2x per week. Thanks for being reliably delicious and fresh!
Honest Opinion
The Thai tea is amazing!!! Beef Pho is great although the meat is rough and hard, and the broth doesn’t have much flavor, the fried egg rolls are delicious though
Great food!! I go here often!!! Always deletable.
