In search of warm comfort food after the storm, we went to Papaya. Fortunately they were open and had very delicious food. Many Sammamish and Issaquah residents visited with the same purpose.

Ordered the beef short rib pho, beef luc lac, and shrimp spring rolls. Everything was very good. The luc lac was very comforting and to me, a fusion - fries, gravy, fried egg, rice, very succulent tender beef. Yum!

Customer service was good and made the experience pleasant.

Pho was warm and perfect on a cold rainy day. Broth was decent and met my needs.

Egg rolls are good but the additional sauce, salad and noodles didn't add too much to the flavor of the dish.

A touch expensive but quality is worth it. Great vegetarian options and the Thai tea is the best in the whole world. I’ll fight about it.

Absolutely impressed- we were a bit apprehensive about the price for takeout ($66 total for two beverages and two entrees)- but I must say we were so impressed. We ordered the beef tenderloin luc lac and the garlic tofu noodles, and a mango slushie with boba, and one strawberry lemonade. The mango slushie was absolute perfection- not too sweet not too tart, and the boba is incredibly delicious. The strawberry lemonade was probably the best I’ve ever had- perfection! Exactly what strawberry lemonade should be like. The tenderloin was melt in your mouth delectable and the fries… the best fries we’ve ever tried, just wow. Lastly the garlic noodles were amazing- for a simple dish it was done with care and perfect flavor, so impressed. So delicious! Definitely a bit more pricey but worth it!

Nice place. Good food. The waitress memorized our order. Three different kinds of Vietnamese coffee with special lids. Cool (but private) windows in the bathroom. Self order kiosk that I didn't notice until later.

This restaurant clearly makes better Vietnamese sandwiches than most of the other Vietnamese restaurants. The crust of the bread is just excellent. Pho broth is also amazing. Overall a little more expensive than other pho places but definitely worth the dollars.

My favorite is Honey Garlic Wing! It's so good! Also recommend grilled pork chop with fried egg.

Got the Classic Beef Pho and it was flavorful with nice portions and good broth. The restaurant was modern and clean. Went on a hot day so the a/c was a nice relief while eating.

Parking: Parking out front, but it is a shared parking lot with other business. So if it does get busy there are more parking spots that are close but not in front of the restaurant.
