    I ordered the green papaya salad and it was fresh and delicious. I loved the tangy sauce and the crunch of the papaya was perfect. I also ordered the yellowtail roll which was yummy! My friends all enjoyed their food as well, and the waitress was lovely. There's a nice ambiance and our table comfortably seated 7. I would definitely drop by again if I'm in the area! Nice walking paths nearby as well.

    Very good 'goon game on display at Green Papaya. The crab Rangoons are light and crispy. The wrappers are thin. Generous fillings. Classic sipping sawce. Must order the 'goons. For the first time I ordered the cincy salad and I will be ordering this again. Crispy thin panko breaded chicken on top of a classic sushi restaurant salad. The dressing was more of a honey mustard than a ginger sauce. Sushi was bomb. Loved the green papaya and the omega roll. Those were the two favorites. Parking is difficult but found a spot out front. Clean place. Little warm inside though.

    Chicken pad Thai

    I was slightly disappointed with this visit to Green Papaya. It has always been one of my favorite places for Pad Thai. However on this visit, the sauce tasted totally different. It felt like peanut sauce was mixed with some kind of red sauce. As a look through the pictures on Yelp, some of the Pad Thai's look more traditional, and some look more red like mine. I'm not sure if they changed their recipe recently or not. It's been a little while since I've visited. The service is always excellent and I will absolutely go back. I may just need to try a different dish.

    Came here because our group wanted some Thai food! We came just after they opened and got speedy service. The atmosphere is very serene with lots of plants and a little water fountain. It's not huge inside, there's tables and then a little bar. When ordering their spice levels are only 1-3, so I got pad Thai at a level 1 spice and it wasn't spicy at all (which I enjoyed). My mom got a level 2 spice and it "had some kick to it" as she would say. My food was yummy, not the best thing I've ever ate, but I'd definitely order it again. The menu has plenty of options so will be back to try more in the future.

    This was my first time going to this place based off recommendation. Overall, the appetizer of dumplings was super good. It came with a house sauce and they were pan sear dumpling i think they were shrimp. The service was okay she helped us determine spice levels! I opted for the bento lunch box which i don't regret! came with pad thai,salad, spring roll, sushi and miso soup! so yummy. We also got Mango curry it came with rice and let me tell you... it was SO FLAVORFUL! and felt like receiving a hug. overall i would come here again!

    So this little place is Magical to say the least. Thai food is an all time favorite of mine and this place hit the spot. The sushi and Nigiri was so fresh and delicious. They also have some exotic fish options for Nigiri that you don't usually see like the Clam that is pictured. If you've never had Vietnamese coffee, this is your sign it is the best coffee in the world in my opinion. For entrees, if you don't want sushi I 100% recommend the Mango Curry. I asked the waiter and this was his choice and it was a great one. For spice level I got a 2/3 and it was just spicy enough without being unbearable. If you're in Oakley (or not it's honestly worth the drive) stop in!

    If you like true Thai food you can find it here!!! The service is amazing. The location is always clean and has tons of seating. Get the green papaya salad!! Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in Ohio!!!!

    crab rangoons and california roll
    Ava S.

    I loved Green Papaya! The dining atmosphere is so nice, with lots of plants and seating options. The service was also great and extremely quick. We ordered crab rangoons, sushi, and pad thai which were all delivered fresh, warm, and within 15 minutes of placing our order. The food was really delicious and I will definitely be returning! Great price for good sushi too, I can see this becoming a staple for me!

    Pad See You - Beef
    Quincy C.

    Decent Thai food on the sweeter and smaller serving side. PS: don't get fried pad thai. Dinner with friends Tuesday night. Parking lot is small so carpool if you can. Most people went for curry rice but I got Pad See You and a friend got fried pad thai. My pad see you was nothing special and definitely leaned on the sweet side. I did order two as I was hungry (and beef was better than pork). The fried pad thai had all the taste of a peanut candy part and part of the consistency. They didn't even finish their meal or take it to go and after trying it I decided paying for a second plate was a better move. Hyper sweet with a thick peanut taste it was not what you enjoy for dinner. Other than that staff was quick and understanding of our bizarre bill splits. Definitely a decent spot.

    Lunch box with tofu with cashew sauce and tofu with basil sauce. Also comes with miso soup.

    I have been here a few times now and the food is always delicious! I really love some of the unique sushi combinations (they have a veggie roll with seaweed salad in it!), and their curries are far better than many of the other local restaurants (including Wild Ginger and Lemongrass). The mango curry is slightly sweet with a nice savory balance. I love the basil sauce! For any lovers of Thai basil, this sauce is a must try. It has a strong yet not overpowering basil flavor. The cashew sauce is also unique with its honey lemon spicy sauce, and the Thai spicy is great as well. Service has always been kind and they ask if you'd like extra rice when packaging your food to go. Highly recommend!

    This is a place I had been wanting to try. The service was ok, pretty average. Nothing that stood out. I had their lunch Bento box. I enjoyed some samplings of their food which were all flavorful. They have many options for the vegetarians. It's located in Hyde Park, conveniently located to many nice neighborhoods, a walking path, and more. The decor was cute and could be a cute spot for a date, gathering with friends, or dining alone.

    Great takeout pad thai! Definitely need to try the crispy version. Not the normal pad thai, but just as good if not better.

They are reservation only and it can be a challenge to get a reservation, so make sure you check their Instagram to figure out when they become available. We came here for a dinner reservation. For the vibes, they have 8 seats and sell out basically every single reservation. There were 2 people making the sushi and they were both super friendly and made great conversation. Each bite was carefully crafted and came with a thorough explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. I don't think my words will do enough to explain each bite, but check out the pictures if you are interested. They have a few beers, cocktails, sake, and whiskey if you are interested in a drink to go with your meal. Overall, worth a visit for an excellent omakase experience!

The servers had already given the other customers a warm towel to clean their hands. We only knew this because the hand towels were still on the table next to the customers. We didn't receive the towels and instead used our own hand sanitizer after they mentioned we'd be eating with our hands. The hand towels remained on the table and were never taken away. The green tea was perfect on a cold snowy day. The fatty tuna was excellent in both the nigiri and hand roll. Presentation was 10/10 and flavor was there for each piece. However, when the food was given out the chef presented the food like he was reading off a menu. There was no additional information on what went into it and what he was doing. The food was delicious and fresh! The overall experience was sub par. I would think if we're paying this much that it would be more of an experience. Especially in Cincinnati when people crave culture and are going there for a cultural experience, I would expect for knowledge given and information. Rather than having to ask for information

So, for the hellzbellz of it, I thought I'd just put in my exact notes. Here it goes: "Max is a delight. Shrimp Shumai is wonderful. Chicken Fried Rice is done properly without being over seasoned or too salty. Spicy Tuna will run you out of town!" HA! What fun notes I left for myself. I do recall their drinks being very nice and strong. Totally worth ordering a fun adult beverage. Max was an absolute delight... just a nice human being. I remember we'd had a really rough day and Max read the vibe. Without being overwhelming, Max just made dinner a wonderful experience. Thanks, Max. You're good people. The entire food scene was great that night. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Even though this was a while back, I remember we took leftovers home (which I NEVER eat)... that night, I ate them! Price was on-point, ambiance is great... sit away from the door if you are a wuss like me and hate the cold "door blast". I remember being impressed by the amount of take-out and doordash that was lined along the counter. Kanji OTR is solid. We'll look forward to visiting again!
