There's nothing like Thai Papaya, and now I have figured it out....its like my Thai home really! Whenever I wanna just sit back, relax, and enjoy the BEST Thai food ever, I "just" stop on by "Thai Papaya"! The only problem is, it's "just"over an hour away from our home in NC! From the moment we walked in (I had 3 sons and 1 daughter with me this time), we felt welcome and made to feel right at home! The owners are truly fabulous, and so friendly as well! I was able to meet their son this time, and it's just so great to see a family working together as one happy team! The eatery is clean, inviting, and everything you could want from a great Thai place. Don't be thrown off by the strip mall attire, the interior is much larger than it appears, and I promise you won't leave disappointed! Every bite of every meal we ordered was such a beautiful balance of flavors inside my mouth, and can't wait to back to come back....I miss you already Thai Papaya!!!!

I stopped by Thai Lisu in Hampton, VA on a whim for lunch. It's tucked inside the Walmart near the…read moreHampton Convention Center, super convenient and within walking distance if you're at the convention hall/coliseum. The prices are very reasonable (most dishes are around $11-$15), and while seating is limited, the food is packed to-go and worth it. You can tell it's the real deal when you see the whole family working together behind the counter on a busy Saturday afternoon, it gives the place a genuine, homey vibe. I ordered the Fried Rice with Pork and the Pad See Ew with Chicken. They let you choose your spice level from 1 to 5; I went with a 4 for the fried rice and a 2 for the Pad See Ew, perfect for my palate. Both dishes were flavorful, well-balanced, and comforting. The portions are generous, definitely enough for leftovers. They also have grocery-style sushi available, though I didn't try it this time. Definitely a pleasant surprise for a quick food option in a Wal-Mart.

I didn't really take pictures of the food or the restaurant as we were in a bit of a time crunch. We took the meal to the hotel we stayed at and ate it in the main lobby as they had tables and chairs, which was just fine for us. The food was delicious and we finished everything. The reasons why I docked 1 star was because for one the food a little too expensive I felt for what we ordered. On top of that I requested some disposable plates and utensils, and the lady (I believe she was a manager or maybe the owner) only mustered 2 plates and no utensils claiming that was all she had. Now admittedly I can't prove that she was withholding more plates, but I have never been to a Thai or Asian restaurant in general that didn't have a ton of those laying around. It didn't sit well with me, and I could tell asking her felt like I was an inconvenience.

I stumbled on to Ruyi because I was looking for coconut shrimp - I'd recently visited my sister,…read moreand when we ordered from the Chinese place near her, I had these delicious shrimp fried sweet and sour style but they came with a creamy coconut sauce. I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I tried to see if I could find something comparable in the area. Enter Ruyi! They have the coconut shrimp and it's AWESOME. Their crab rangoon is also very good. So I decided to expand and try some other menu options - I got the sweet and sour chicken, but it comes with the standard red sauce rather than the orange one I prefer. Egg drop soup was filling and flavorful. I then tried a couple more branch outs with the Pad Thai and Orange Chicken. Those two - I wasn't crazy about. Neither had much depth of flavor and didn't reheat well. This will definitely be my go-to for that coconut shrimp craving, but for my other favs, I'll dial into other Chinese/Asian fusion places.

The texture was undercooked and the sauce was complete liquid. The eggroll wasn't great either and the inside of the wrapper was soggy.

You choose your own seating but it seems like the whole staff is there to wait on you. Everyone made sure we had all that we needed and enjoyed our food. We started off with the egg rolls and spring rolls, both were flavorful, light and delicious. For entrees I had the pho number 6 with brisket, rare beef and tendon (could've done without the tendon but I wanted to try something new). I asked for them to substitute the regular pho broth for the Bun Bo Hue broth. It was lighter than I expected but the flavor was still very good. My wife had the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl but she substituted the noodles for rice; she liked that the vermicelli bowl had more vegetables than the rice bowls. This was also phenomenal. Great char on the chicken and huge portions. Spent a total of $57 before tip, that did include one fountain drink and a Thai tea. We will be back for sure!

Chicken Lo Mein noodles and Singapore Mei Fun is where it's at in here - aaaand I have no photos to show because of how hungry we were... my bad! The noodles were darn tasty! I asked for the Singapore noodles not to be too spicy, but to still have a kick to it, and they got it spot on. So what did it look like? Think of really thin noodles, with prawns, chicken, veg, pork, with a curry taste. Yeah - that's what the Singapore Mei Fun looked like - and a VERY generous portion it was too. The small Chicken Lo Mein (there's two sizes) was delicious and filling. Thick noodles bathed in a sweet garlic/ginger/soy sauce with chicken strips and veg. They prepare food very quickly, so no need to call ahead to order, just swing by and take home. Oh, and the pork rolls are banging!! Too good to wait til I got home to eat them.
