The food is always delicious and the owners are always very welcoming and friendly - excellent customer service, Thank you

Oh wow - we bought some food from the truck. It was delicious. We had the fresh rolls, fried rolls and sticky rice. All of this was so good - I wasn't expecting it. The fried rolls had a little bit of spice, which I appreciated. The service was quick and the lady at the window was really nice. read more

The chicken skewers are my favorite!! Amazing flavor, good value, will buy again. If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend, their food is delicious. read more

Papaya Tree - Chicken Skewers and Sticky Rice - Food Trucks Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Had the pork fried rice special and it was so amazing! Ate it all gone before I even thought about taking a photo of it. Hope they keep it on the rotation, cause the only thing that comes close is the Pad Thai (which is very good) but this is in a league all on its own!!!! read more

Went to Delaney Park today with my family to check out all of the amazing cars they had at car show. The gentleman was very polite and patient as I was fighting the urge to order the entire menu . I ordered the shrimp fried rice, Thai tea, fresh rolls, & fried rolls. Everything was delicious, fresh, piping hot, and didn't lack any flavor. I'll definitely be on a first name basis with this business. I can't wait to go back again. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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

We tried them at the Gold Nugget Triathlon today, and they had excellent food. We had the basil shrimp, fresh rolls, and chicken skewers. The basil shrimp was very flavorful, a little spicy, but perfect for our palates. The rolls were good, and similar to others we've had with fresh basil. There is a small sliver of fried spam rolled inside, which was a little surprising , but it was still good. The highlight however, was the chicken skewers. Excellent, with a little crispy skin on the outside. We almost went back for seconds, but decided to try again another time. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

If you are unsure on where to eat and want to support a local food truck Papaya Tree is where to order! The portion sizes are very well! The flavor on the different foods they serve is amazing. Probably one of the best Pad Thai I've had in Alaska! The chicken skewers and fried rolls have a lot of flavor and the sauce that comes with them adds a little bit of spice to it! It's hard not to drive to Papaya Tree and order the whole menu! I suggest going early so you can taste their Daily Special! read more

Ordered the pad thai and the fried spring rolls as well as the thai iced tea. The portions were huge for what you were getting. They also made the food after their hours were considered to be closed which was extremely and very nice of them to do. read more

I order the pad Thai from here while they were set up at King Street Brewing on a Friday evening. They served up a heathy portion, and it hit the spot. The staff were friendly and it didn't take forever to prepare the food. Is like to try more dishes from here. Prices were very reasonable for a food truck. read more

We track down the bright green truck anytime my H wants pad Thai. I'm reducing carbs so I love their chicken skewers and we share an order of yummy spring rolls. Love their flavors! These guys know how to cook! Go find them, Anchorage! read more

Awesome food, man working the truck went out of his way to help us find the food truck location and call us back. Chicken skewers were very good read more

Absolutely delicious and the man working the food truck was so nice and welcoming. We got the chicken skewers and they were amazing.

Hit up their food truck at Truckin Tuesday for some chicken skewers. Now I wished my whole family would have ordered from that truck versus some of the other underwhelming options. That chicken was one of if not the best chicken skewer I've had. I will definitely be following them for future food options. read more

I just moved here a few months ago and have been seriously missing a good spicy Thai curry. I didn't think I'd be able to get it up here. However, this food truck hit the damn spot. Excellent excellent curry. Thanks guys! read more

Went today for the opening. Did a large order for Mother's Day. Be patient with them as it's the first time out, you might have to wait awhile for your food. I waited an hour and 10 mins for 8 food items and 3 Thai teas. The Thai tea was a little salty, I asked a few people and they agreed. I did mentioned it to the man who took my order just so they knew. The spring rolls were good but I thought they had shrimp in them but none of the 3 I ordered had any shrimp and the sauce for it was a little too spicy for me and my family. The papaya salad was too spicy for me. It had potential and I did ask for a smaller chili but I couldn't continue after the first bite my mouth and tongue were on fire. The kao piaek sen, my whole family loved it. I've always wanted to try it but I think it lacked flavored a little but I still enjoyed it because the noodles were very bouncy and soft. My mom loved her pork skewers and sticky rice! I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again especially since it was the grand opening. Kind people and did very well for how many people came around 11am. We need more asian food trucks so this experience was about a 60/100 for me. I'll probably try again after a few weeks to compare. read more

If there were 10 stars for customer service Papaya Tree would get 100. We sat outside in the glorious sun at Cynosure Brewery (shout out to their Helles beer!) and ordered Pad Thai; the special, which was mussels with basil and sticky rice; and fresh rolls. The food was mouthwateringly delectable! The service excellent! Noi and Dao (sorry for spelling?!?) were stellar, remembering customer names -- some loyal customers came just for the food truck and not for Cynosure, and Noi greeted them by name. They are currently at Cynosure on Saturdays and on Friday's at King Street Brewery. You can't go wrong. read more

Our family of 7 visited the Papaya Tree food truck and ate upstairs at Ravens Ring. The owners were sooo friendly and the food was awesome! I had a (spicy!) Papaya salad with sticky rice, which was delicious. Others enjoyed their chicken skewers and we got a few orders of shrimp fresh rolls, and they threw in an extra :) the Thai tea was amazing. I'll come find this truck again soon! read more

Highly recommended! I have been looking high and low for a great Thai spot in Anchorage and have finally found one! The flavors are spot on! I am very picky about my food and can tell you that this is as authentic as it comes! Definitely get out there and give them a try! read more

Papaya tree is fantastic! Huge fan of their pad Thai. SO pumped they are still operating through the winter. :)

Incredible food, some of the best in Anchorage, food truck or otherwise. Easy takeout texting your order and a pickup time. Have enjoyed everything on the menu: usually get the pad thai, pork skewers, fresh rolls, and fried rolls. The specials are always super good too! Overall relatively cheap, good portions, and yummy food read more

Best Thai food in Anchorage. No question. My husband and I normally get the pad thai (extra spicy, haha). It never disappoints. We were incredibly bummed--devastated--when we heard they would shut the food truck down for the winter. My heart sank. It felt like Christmas morning when we found out about their new location. Great stuff! read more

Delicious! We ordered the pad Thai, spring rolls and chicken skewers. The sweet and sour sauce they use is very tasty. We'll definitely keep an eye out for this truck, especially next time we are at King Street! read more

WE love to EAT!!!! Especially Asian and Caribbean cuisine. We sampled a few places and this place was a hit! We were so glad we found it after visiting one of the neighboring places that served up jerk. Thank you guys for serving up great food, authentic flavor and, great service. We will be back. read more

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