First I want to say WELCOME BACK!! Im so glad I get to enjoy your food again. You all are unmatched and top tier!! Service is great as always, we always feel so welcomed. Allen always makes us feel like we are eating in his home. Ambiance is cute and cozy. Let's start with the pho. I literally have not found another place that is consistent. The broth is clean and delicious. Every dish is fresh and delicious. From the appetizers to the entrees, Papaya Kitchen does not disappoint. read more

The food here was really good!! Loved the wonton noodle soup and had generous spring rolls and they came with separate peanut sauce dipping dishes for each person!!! Loved that we could double dip and more restaurants should do this!! The wonton noodle soup was incredible, however beef vermecelli was pretty fatty. Great restaurant and will be back!! read more

I came in today right before my hair appointment. Service was great and my food came out fast. I had the bun thit nuong, very delish!

We ordered the combination pho and the clay pot. $38. What a surprise! As experienced Vietnamese eaters of around the Country and the world. These 2 dishes were top notch and among the best we've ever had. The pho was delicious and we liked that there was only one price regardless of the meet choice. The clay pot was very good but became amazing when our server brought over the special hot sauce. We were blown away by this restaurant and the amazing service. While dining we overheard a lady tell the server that she had to search out this restaurant and come back due to her amazing experience on her last trip to Dallas. We hope to be back one day too! Bravo! read more

I rarely leave reviews but only upload pictures for restaurants, but I have to leave a review for this restaurant that I accidentally discovered. While going to a nearby LA Fitness, I saw this on the way because I did not eat a dinner yet. I saw a choice between this, Thai Street food next to it, but I decided to walk in here. The place was extremely small with not many tables, but I could find a seat close to the window side. What made me to give this perfect stars for this restaurant is how kind the owner was. He gave me a fresh bottle of Ozarka water, and he was really showing a fantastic service. And the food was great, too. I thought it was little expensive at $18 for a bowl of shrimp noodle, but it was enough portion. So, while I would not normally give this high ranking for a restaurant that is not super fancy, I have to make an exception because the owner's service really made a difference. read more

I looked up a healthy option for lunch and the first thing that popped up was this place, once I walked in it smelt so good!!! I was greeted by who I think was the owner, he was so nice and kind and offered me a drink while I waited which did not take long at all. I will be coming again because the ambience was very comforting!!! read more

A friend recommended this place and the reviews were good so we went. I had the beef pho and my friend had the beef vermicelli. My pho was great! It was huge, I took about half home. The broth was flavorful and it had the normal accompanying vegetables. I didn't see the meat raw, it was all cooked in the broth but there was A LOT of meat. More than I expected, it was also flavorful and tender. I think it was $18 which is on the high end for pho but I did have leftovers and really enjoyed it! My friend also enjoyed his meal and had leftovers. They offered a complimentary ice cream and we accepted. It's a small container of Blue Bell, which was thoughtful and we enjoyed it. We also shared the shrimp spring rolls, the shrimp were large and it was delightful. The restaurant is small but they seem to do a lot of take out so there was plenty of seating. Give it a try! read more

Fantastic no frills local viet restaurant with great food options and a very kind owner. I was in town on a work trip and stopped by for some asian comfort food, the pho and spring rolls were soooooo good. When I paid my bill and was about the leave, the owner offered some dessert and water for me to enjoy at my hotel! read more

The broth from my beef pho was rich and delicious. The service was outstanding 10/10. I'm visiting from LA and didn't have high hopes but this place blew me away. If you're looking for a good pho spot I'm telling you this place will exceed your expectations read more

Shrimp spring rolls were delicious with the PB sauce. We had the grilled chicken, which has lemongrass flavor but they drizzled some sweet sauce that overwhelmed the lemongrass. Then we had garlic chicken but way tooo much sweet sauce. read more

Was so disheartened to see Green Papaya close 5 years ago, followed by a string of unimpressive new venues. Then Chef Alan sprang from the ashes and created Papaya Kitchen on Lemmon Ave. my spirit is renewed! Great chef/owner has surpassed his previous location. read more

This place is unbelievably amazing. I got shrimp spring rolls and beef pho and the flavor was stellar and the perfect warm meal on a chilly day.

I am crazy about Papaya Kitchen's "Shrimp Spring Rolls" - plump, juicy shrimps, lovely amount of vermicelli, lettuce, and bean sprouts, and delicious peanut sauce. Efficient online ordering. Welcoming pickup service. So glad this once beloved 'green papaya restaurant' being back. With the now named "Papaya Kitchen" being set up for mainly takeouts! CHEERS! read more

This place is amazing. I love this food. Since I found they were open again I can't tell you how many times I have been here. However, tonight was a bit frustrating. I called in my order for pick up. I gave him my order and asked for an extra soy sauce and an extra hot sauce. Yes, I love spicy foods. The gentleman repeated my order and said 2 soy sauce and 1 chili sauce. I said no, 2 soy sauce and 2 chili sauce. He repeated it again and said the same thing. I said again what I wanted. I know it is posted that extra sauces would be an extra charge and I was definitely fine with that. I get to the restaurant and get my food. He hands me my food and walks away saying 2 soy sauces and 1 chili sauce. That upset me because for a restaurant offering food that I am paying for you definitely will not tell me what you want me to have. In the future, if you offer something and I specifically order or request it DO NOT take it upon yourself to tell me what you want to give me and I am spending my hard earned money. I do understand this is something that is so silly to post about but If a customer spend their money on something they want please then please don't take it upon yourself to not give it to them because you said so. I'll go again but I was pretty frustrated. read more

Everything is amazing! This is a Vietnamese food delight! I could eat here at least twice a week and never get tired of it! My whole family loves this place!! I'm not a hot spice kind of girl but my family likes it med & really hot spice and we are all given exactly what we want!!! I highly recommend this place!!! read more

I saw multiple 5 star reviews of this place and now I understand why. The food portions are large and the food itself was delicious. The owner was super friendly and would offer tips and recommendations. It's currently a smaller space so there aren't a ton of options for sitting down and eating, but we were told they're going to be expanding to a larger space relatively soon. Highly recommend going to get your Vietnamese food fix in the area! read more

Excellect grilled chicken and vermicelli salad. Big portions too. Service is very attentive. Will definitely be back.

The food was amazing the pork spring rolls were delicious. the pork was very tasty and had a lot of flavor as you add the peanut sauce. And the pho was very flavorful, the broth was very rich and gave the meat (I got beef) a lot of flavor. The service was great! The server was very nice and explained the menu items to us as well. The place was a little small (width size) but they need more room for the kitchen to make us delicious food! I would 100% recommend and come back. read more

I tried this cozy place for the first time and was very impressed with the flavorful entrees and awesome customer service. The ambiance is more conducive for carry-out however there are a few places to sit and enjoy your food in the establishment. I ordered the Chicken Pho and the Tofu Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce, both were delicious the peanut sauce had a spicy kick which was a surprise but nothing unbearable. The chicken was tasty and not dry (huge plus) and the veggies for the pho were all fresh. I am excited to have found a great Vietnamese restaurant and plan to return so I can try more items on the menu. Next time I will be sure to take pictures and share. read more
