9 reviews for Green Papaya Pan Asian Cuisine
Yummm!!!! Ordered a chicken pad Thai to go Friday nite because I just didn't feel like cooking. Cost $10.
Prices on the menu vary from lunch special prices as well as dinner prices. Anywhere from less than $10 to greater than $20 per dish.
As you can see from the photo the Togo box was full! Portion was enough to feed two hungry people.
Couldn't see the chicken pieces at first because they were on the bottom. It was white breast meat still tender and not overcooked.
Looked great on the black laquered plates I have at home. Guten appetit!!!
I love that I can take my family, who are not familiar with thai food at all, to this place. I had the Red curry with natural brown rice with 4 stars, which had the right level of spiciness and satisfaction. The neices were impressed with the beef fried rice, which came in big portions for the lunch specials. My brother in law had the mango chicken, which he fawned endlessly over, being sweet to the taste. My sister was the best though, trying the tried and true pad thai. Since she is new to this dish, I started her off the mildest level available. She was really impressed with the presentation and the taste of the dish. You can tell this restaurant put a lot of effort into their dishes, not overpowering their pad thai with ketchup to give off the "thai flavor", but actually using fish sauce, limes, fresh peanuts, and al dente thai noodles. The thai milk tea was also excellent, not being too sweet but just enough to savor like a dessert. The prices were exceptionally reasonable for lunch @ $8.95 per entree. Definitely when I am back in Jacksonville, I will be at this place constantly :).
This was a nice find for a quick lunch near the airport. From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look like much, but inside the decor is modern, clean, and attractive. Although billed as a "pan-Asian" menu, the choices lean heavily to Thai food. My basil scallops were great - I love Thai basil, and the balance of heat, spice, and sweetness in the vegetables was just right. The white rice served with the meals is standard long grain American rice. Service was generally good, although I ended up waiting too long for a beverage refill at one point. The prices are about right.
Shout out to my J-Ville's finest "elite" Yelp friend Julie A for meeting me here for lunch! I'm sorry, I feel horrible for taking up almost 3 hours from your lunch break =-X.
Well, to respond to James M review...
"The Amazing" peanut curry lunch special is what I ordered and I got to say it was perfectly, pretty peanutty amazing. I ordered it with "4 stars" of hotness and it was hot alright, but I could have taken it hotter. I like them HAWT! I want to sweat baby and make me wet! :-D
For $7.95 I think the price is just right. The service was down right friendly. But I think that's apart of the southern charm. Is this right Miss Julie?
Decor was modern and sleek. I don't think it was bordering on the cheesy side at all. I've seen worse cheesy modern Asian theme. Well, except for the Christmas stocking that was left from well, let's just say from Christmas perhaps :).
Overall... food was darn good and I'm glad that local J-ville Yelper Julie and I got to experience it together :-)
Shout out to SF's elite Hazel Nutella for driving down to the River City to check this place out. You are hella fun!
The food was awesome here. I just ate at a different Thai place in town last night but it didn't even measure up to this spot.
I ordered the Amazing, which is indeed Amazing. It comes in a peanut curry coconut milk sauce, with broccoli and spinach, and your choice of chicken, beef, pork or tofu.
The scale goes from 1-10 in hotness. I ordered the same 4 stars of hotness like Hazel Nutella, but alas, it was on borderline too much for me. Hahah Next time I'm getting it 3 stars of hotness.
Good thing I was drinking Thai Tea (Asian tea almost always has milk in it) and attacking that delicious brown rice.
The decor is upscale and classy, so you kind of forget you are in Jacksonville. Definitely a romantic date spot. But I'd be down to come back here with anybody.
Excellent!! Had the green papaya salad which was perfect! Just the right amount of spice! Would definitely recommend and come to again!
I usually run away from any place that says "pan Asian" but we went here for a work lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good! There seems to be mostly Chinese and Thai dishes or a mixture of both. Many of their dishes seem to spell out what kind of flavors and spices are in each, from where you choose what kind of... hmmm, protein... you want. Chicken, beef, pork, tofu, etc.
I had the basil dish with chicken, after considering what they called "The Amazing". I opted not to go for The Amazing because I was afraid I would be let down by all the hype. I mean, if it's called "The Amazing" it better be freakin amazing, man. I'll save that for another day.
Decor was clean, bordering on cheesy modern Asian theme, but who cares, the food was pretty good.
Well, I finally made it out to this restaurant that I have been wishing to try and I was not disappointed! It is on the Northside at a very nice new mall development with lots of stores...The decor is very modern and upscale and the service ,presentation (white china & cloth napkins)and quality of the food was excellent! We all ordered Thai style dishes which were very spicy (three on a 1 to 5 scale) and the portion size was good- both of my friends had to have takeout boxes for their leftovers- we will definitely make sure to go there again :)
Service was friendly. Decor very nice. Reasonable and tasty portions for the price. Will visit again if in the area
