    Where have you been all my life?! I've known about Papaya Tree for a while. They are usually at Cynosure brewing on Sundays. But, we are usually trying to get back into Anchorage on Sunday, and...early brewery closing times being what they are...have been unable to try Papaya Tree. To know where they are on a given day, you have to check their Facebook page! Anyway, Cynosure was going to be closed for Easter, and I got my 2nd COVID shot the day before Easter...so the stars aligned and we went to Cyno to celebrate...and Papaya was there! First: the folks that run this are tired with IHOHD (International House of Hot Dogs) for being the friendliest business owners in all of Anchorage. They are incredible! Second: I love their slogan "unmessed with Asian street food". I'm not at all an expert but the food seems to be largely Thai-focused with some Lao and Vietnam influences. The food is incredible! Their take on some of these classics (Pad Thai) is the best I've had in Anchorage. And their skewers are...also the best I've had in Anchorage! I will definitely be back, I'll make it a point to head to Cyno on Sundays now, if I can!

    Found this place by accident when we were checking out a business nextdoor. Small menu of items - IMMEDIATELY settled on the Pad Thai since so many places in town dont make it properly I was hoping it would be good. Aslo got garlic chicken for my honey and a Thai Tea. I ordered and since it was super cold out the gentleman who waited on me took my number so I could wait in my car. He texted me a short time later. The pad thai was excellent, and the portion was enormous. I would not order the Thai Tea again, there was something just not quite right about it. It wasn't bad, just not how I like it. My husband liked his garlic chicken, but he did note that Ray's is better (but he is also very much a creature of habit.) I noticed a sign that indicated Door Dash is an option, so that's cool for a food truck.

    Okay guys, stop wasting time and just order. The pad Thai? The best I've ever had. The chicken skewers? PHENOMENAL. The papaya salad? Immaculate (but make sure you get mild if you want to enjoy without chugging water every 30 seconds LOL). I've also tried their cold noodle salad special and it was to die for. This food truck provides QUALITY meals at an amazing price and has some of the best costumer service in the industry. I really can't say enough good things about them. We eat here multiple times a month. Do yourself a favor and just order.

    Delicious! Pad Thai and Fresh Rolls.

    Very tasty and good prices. Modified order to shrimp only fresh rolls and pad thai. They also have a daily special.

    New Asian food truck is delicious. Their motto is "unmessed with Asian Street Food.". Was everything I hoped for, Pork skewers were tender and flavorful. Dipping sauce was a perfect compliment. Spring rolls Crispy and Hot not greasy at all.Stuffed full of goodness. Will have to try the papaya salad next as it looked really good. Give them a try I was very happy with what I received and the prices were good for amount of food.

    Fresh rolls

    I love this food truck! The food is delicious - best pad Thai in town. The fresh rolls were also great! I love the sauce that they come with. What sets this place apart from the rest is the staff. Every time I have picked up food there they are incredibly kind. This energy is what brings people back... and also the great food. This place is my go to for pad Thai. One day I'll start trying their other options.

    Pad Thai, fried rolls, and chicken skewers.

    Amazing food. Definitely eat here. The pad thai is phenomenal. We also tried the cheese spring rolls, and they were great too.

    Excellent food, especially the chicken noodle salad dish. It was like a pad tai vibe. And the owner was very nice & helpful.
