Hadn't been here in a little bit. Always enjoy it so much when I come. Tonight, my kids and I enjoyed the beef salad, which is so fresh and delicious. Tender meat. Chicken sauté. The chicken was such a flavorful bite. The marinade was delicious and I love their peanut sauce. We shared a vegetable pad, Thai and fried rice. Both prepared beautifully and very tasty. The service is good. Tonight they got very busy and I think the waiter was a little overwhelmed, but all good. Still very gracious and took care of our needs. Definitely returning soon to get some other dishes that I have missed. read more

Pho was good, nothing spectacular. Ordered for pick-up, they charge .50 for to-go orders which is silly. 15.50 for the pho, .50 surcharge for to-go, and tax 1.44, so total of 17.44 for a small bowl of pho. Not worth it. Can go other places for bigger portions, better, and no charge for pick-up orders. read more

We haven't been to Green Papaya for a couple years as we moved away. Decided to stop in and see if it was still as good as it was back then. To our delight we were happy to see that they have maintained their great reputation. We both ordered beef phõ and it was delicious. Everything was cooked well and the meat was nice and tender. I had the Crimson Peach Tea with peach pieces and my spouse had an iced Thai tea with tapioca boba. Both drinks were made well. The service was fantastic, attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and quick service. The restaurant was inviting, well decorated, and clean.I would definitely recommend giving Pho Green Papaya a try as you won't regret it! read more

This is seriously the OG of great food in Vancouver!!! This is probably the 4th or 5th review I've written for them and the service and quality are undefeated!!!! It is always a welcoming environment! You simply cannot beat the 5 star everything of this business!!!! This is one of the absolute few restaurants I will go out to because it is worth EVERY penny!!! Between the quality, flavor, service, and portion size, you get more than what you pay for! They do not shrink sizes and gouge you like many restaurants have started doing!!! read more

Been a big fan for many years and have enjoyed the menu, ambiance, and staff each and every time we visit. The new remodel plays up on the coziness and all decorations pleasing to the eyes. Like many restaurants, short staffing continues to be an issue, but the owners are doing their best with this...oftentimes working beyond overtime to maintain the customer experience. Our lunch today was not only flavorful, but the presentation was top notch. Wife had the dry soup and I had the shaking beef, which is tenderloin. Both were excellent! read more

Just go to Thai Orchid or something. The pad Thai noodles were stiff, not pleasant to eat. The taro boba was flavorless. Just blended ice with bland boba. Server couldn't explain what the special of the day was. Just would not recommend eating here at all, sorry. read more

Pho Green Papaya - Remolded. The New Green - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Clean ambiance, didn't feel like a hole in the wall at all. Waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, was able to answer detailed questions about the dishes offered. I was particularly impressed that he was willing to give us extra condensed milk for the avocado smoothie, which by the way is not made with creamer or powder but rather real avocado. Yay for businesses actually using real food instead of fake stuff to cut corners! Small staff. Mainly 2 cooks, and a front cashier. Felt very welcoming. The food was so good. Extremely authentic, and my husband is Vietnamese and I am Chinese. The wonton noodles were not over cooked (extremely important with that kind of noodles), and though the wontons were a bit skimpy on the filling, the portion size of bokchoy and thin-sliced bbq pork (cha-soy) made up for it. Absolutely coming back to support when I'm in the area. read more

Ordered special vermicelli (with pork and shrimp). The bowl is HUGE! The pork and shrimp are slightly charred - delicious! I would come back and get this again, though there were other items on the menu that looked good. Big space, not too many people when we came in Memorial Day. Service was great, server was very accommodating to the three kids we had in our group. read more

Pho Green Papaya - Special vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I go in here quite a bit, and I really like a lot of the dishes. The interior is nice, with a beautiful mural on the wall. The servers are friendly and they are generally really quick with seating. In regards to food, their pho is pretty good. The broth is decent and the toppings are plentiful. Generally I find that their rice noodles tend to be a bit on the overcooked side, but other than that I'm a big fan. The thing that prevents me from giving them a five star is that they generally struggle to get take out orders correct if you ask for anything additional (like chili oil) or ask for a substitution (no mayo on a Bánh mì, for example). I'm not sure why this is, but I've had to go back more than five times because they didn't leave off mayo on the bánh mì or because they forgot something like chili oil, ect. I just started checking the things and opening them if I was getting it to go. Still a regular place and really good food, just doesn't have that five stars due to feeling like I need to inspect everything to make sure we got what we ordered. read more

Requested (nicely) noodle swap for one of the dishes and answered with a firm "NO". Terrible customer service; young man needs to take a seminar. Dining companion who has supported them for years says the food has been going downhill since its renovation. She tasted butter on her broccoli. Strange for an Asian Cuisine. Salad rolls fell apart; for "finger food" needed a fork to eat it. We will NOT be back. read more

If you support this place, you are supporting a business that is breaking the law when it comes to paying their workers on time and withholding tips at their discretion. There is currently at least one complaint to Labor and Industry about them and soon to be more. And for sure don't support a restaurant that treats their employees like trash. In a world where it's very tough to find reliable help, it's AMAZING that an employer would treat an employee as a peasant. SHAME ON YOU, Rotten Papaya! Kahn, let's make this very simple. You just post your employee wage and tip policy (according to Washington State law) on your website, and Facebook. You do that and I won't call one of my best friend's that is a producer at a local news station. Seems pretty easy to me, no? Don't make your employment policy so vague that only a magician could figure it out. Let me know! read more

Pho Green Papaya - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We had lunch at Pho Green Papaya earlier this week. We have eaten here many times. It is one of our favorite places for Asian food in Vancouver. This was our first visit there since they remodeled the dining room earlier this month. The new tables, booths, light fixtures, and art work vastly improved the atmosphere and ambiance. The food and service were great as usual and we were very pleased with our lunch. Try the lemongrass stir fry! It is one of our favorite entrees on their menu! read more

I came here for dinner to meet some friends after work on a Friday night. There were about 6 tables being occupied with family / friends. I noticed there was only one server doing all the duties of a waitress. She did an amazing job keeping everyone happy and I will definitely be back to enjoy more delicious food! read more

The food is delicious, but the staff leave when they feel like it, making the posted hours on the door a bald-faced lie. Save yourself the aggravation and the disrespect for your time. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that don't treat customers like an inconvenience. To further clarify after receiving a response: This is not a reaction to a single bad night. This is a reaction to a pattern over the last year of showing up during business hours, and it being bloody random whether or not I'm going to leave with food. If there is going to be some period where the doors aren't locked but customers cannot transact business, put it on the door and stick to it. Because that's not "Open". read more

I am so sad to have to write this but I am hoping the business pays attention. The food is fresh and wonderful, the problem is the service. There were two people in the kitchen and one wait staff. The person waiting on the tables was slow and disorganized. We waited for 10 minutes to order, another 20 minutes for food and even more time getting water and to go containers. They were busy (it was lunch time on a Wednesday). They really need to hire more people that are not family (it is obvious). Unfortunately this has happened the last several times we have been in. We will take our business elsewhere. read more

2021 Update: They have a sign warning you about their lack of staff causing poor service. But honestly, 3 servers for 7 tables is a pretty good ratio of servers to customers. We sat and waited today for so long. It's crazy they didn't even seat us and get us water. Once we ordered we waited for the drinks we got for a long time. We basically got our drinks and appetizers at the same time. The pho here really has gone down hill. The broth was so bland and the portions of meat were lacking. They were out of tendon and happily doubled a meat of my choosing. Ultimately, this is probably the last visit in a while as this service today as well as the past 3 visits have been consistently awful. The servers who are "understaffed" are literally leaning and holding up the cash register desk from falling over I guess? read more

Well the last 2 times we have ordered with Door Dash the order has been wrong. We order extra noodles each time and the and they can't seem to get it right. On top of that they used to used to put the soup inside of bags and use stronger sacks, but this time it ripped and the Doordasher brought up piece out of his car!!! This USED to our favorite place for Pho, but we are done. Each time we call they say they will talk to the kitchen, really. read more

Let's just say, I come here VERY often. the food is fantastic. I'm always enjoying the E1 pho and the shrimp and pork rolls. so fresh and soooo good. the service is good. everyone is nice and friendly. they just remodeled the restaurant a few months back and it looks amazing!! would recommend if you're looking for a new pho place. read more

Stopped by at 7:20pm on a Sunday. They took us in. Pho and salt and pepper shrimp was incredible. We have been coming here on and off for the last decade, haven't been disappointed by the food. The staff were all friendly and brought food out promptly. I would work on cleanliness, but it also was almost closing time. read more

First their chicken satay is the BEST I've ever had. Not only is their chicken cooked to perfection, the SAUCE it comes with is the best. Slightly spicy, but it's literally the ONLY reason I keep going back to that place. WHY A 2. The pho itself is just decent. But my main complaint is that their regular peanut sauce that comes with the salad rolls is literally the worst ever. Its flavor is terrible and it is ice cold. I can't believe they serve it that way. Also they had employees smoking outside the door. I literally watched them smoke as I ate. read more

This place is clean, has amazing food, and fast service when they aren't packed. Prices are pretty average (not expensive, but not cheap either). Entree portions definitely fill you up. They have really good business every day they're open. Atmosphere is casual - a good place to brings friends and family. During COVID they offer take-out and dine-in (currently). They have plastic boards between tables/booths and every worker wore a mask. Highly recommend! read more

Back home in hawaii, pho was served to me in a little shack on a farm with dirt as the flooring. The smell of delicious beef broth simmering in a huge pot and only a light bulb to light your way. That's how I remember pho. Homemade. Finding a pho restaurant is hard, especially when you've had it homemade. So I'll try to be as lenient in this review. Food: we've tried more than just pho and let me tell you. YUM!!! My favorite would have to be the pad Thai and fish sauce chicken wings. Such a perfect combo. The pho broth is flavorful. This place really met my standards when it came to pho and Thai food. Service: PANDEMIC UPDATE: staff wears masks and properly practices hand hygiene. The restaurant is well kept and abides by social distancing and government regulations. Take our services are also available. read more

When we first walked into the restaurant, we were highly disappointed by the service and ambiance. We found a server slapping the tables with a towel all over the place, and it very much disturbed our appetite. The food was sub-par, and had much to improve on in the scope of broth. However, their spring rolls were decent, and I quite enjoyed them. I think most dishes at this place are solid for the area, but this unsatisfactory encounter with a server left us with a bad taste in our mouth. May reconsider coming here again. read more

Ordered a Bun Bo Hue with extra tendons for $4 extra but unfortunately did not receive it. I understand that mistakes do happen but when I called the restaurant, the person who answered the phone talked to the chef and he claimed that he gave me extra which was an outright lie. I rarely ever give out 1 star reviews and I'm known for giving good and positive reviews but this did not sit right with me. If whoever prepared the dish had said that it was a mistake on his end, I would have absolutely understood and dismissed the issue. Aside from that, the bun Bo hue this time around was lacking in flavor and a bit bland. Also something to note is that they charge extra if you are taking to-go. Not sure if the chef was new and was potentially afraid of getting in trouble for making a mistake, but for future reference, honesty is always the best policy. Would not come back. read more

The worse service that we have ever experienced. We saw the sign that stated they were short staffed when we walked in. The waitress took our order and did not write anything down. We were a party of four and one meal came out before our salad rolls which were supposed to be a stater. We watched as take out orders went out the door and we waited for another one and half hours before two of our dinners came out. The waitress explained a few times and thanked us for being patient. The last order was no where to be seen. The waitress was actually arguing with the kitchen and the third meal appeared which was completely wrong. The waitress then said they ran out of white rice!!! Gee could it be that the orders that were door dash got all the white rice. Someone then came to our table with the manager on the phone. My husband spoke to the manager on the phone who kept repeating that he would try and fix whatever went wrong. We stated that we were not going to pay for any of our meals. We did however tipped the waitress because she tried to explain what was going on. And we left not finishing any of our meals as we lost our appetite. We have been going to Green Papaya for close to 20 years and we will not return. read more
