Green Papaya

My wife and I come to Green Papaya often, and it never disappoints. I always get Drunken Noodle, level 4 spice, and I devour it every time. My wife gets the yellow curry, level 3, and she loves the flavor. My son got the California roll which he ate with no complaints so that must mean it is tasty. We've had Gyoza on previous visits and it is so good. Definitely will be coming back to eat here again. 5/5

First time coming here and got to say the interior were amazing. Everything in there fit a great theme giving a great date night spot. Presentation of the food were excellent but I wish the taste would match the how the presentation were. Service was okay, decent to say.

Here’s what we tried :

Tom yum soup - 3/10 didn’t really like the taste honestly it tastes more of Cajun seasoning with water than anything honestly.
Gyoza - 10/10 think it was the best thing that was on the menu.
Roti canai - 7/10 it was okay I thought there would be some sort of filling in them than just being like a pancake.
Philadelphia roll - 7/10 wasn’t really my cup of tea honestly, never really had Philadelphia roll like here.
Crunch roll - 7/10 I thought this roll would be like something crunchy but nope ! Kinda misleading on that….
Thai special fried rice - 9/10 was good wished the beef was chopped better than being a gigantic piece.
Red curry w/ chicken, shrimp and beef - 7/10 wasn’t a fun really, the broccoli had a weird taste and I’ve never really had curry so watery before so caught me off guard a bit with it.
Peanut butter explosion- 8/10 it was great, but it was so much peanut butter that you can’t really taste the brownie that it was mush with.
Thai tea - 6/10 It wasnt bad to say but it just taste straight up tea with a dash of milk.

Overall it was okay, but I’ll definitely stay away from the sushi and just maybe stick with a fry rice and appetizers instead.

It started out nice, but after a couple of year I am afraid I need to find a different place to get my sushi which would be a pity since we live right next to Green Papaya. The quality of their fish went down, salmon in particular. You can see thick white lines of fat on the picture. Quality sushi is not supposed to be like that, and this is what we got after specifically asking “no fatty fish” when we submitted the order (that is what manager told us to do). Also, they don’t make sushi rice. Sushi rice is supposed to be made in a very particular order with a use of special vinegar/wine. It would give a very particular taste to the sushi rice and would help rice to keep the shape. Rice here does not have that taste and does not hold the shape. They also barely put any rice into sushi and are proud of it, but there is a reason for a balance like with anything. Anyway, unfortunately we will be looking for another place to get our sushi from.

The best restaurant in Jacksonville for sushi, fresh seafood, and an overall amazing dining experience. My favorite dish is the whole Red Snapper served with a red curry sauce. It is the best dish on the menu in my opinion. The drunken noodles is also an excellent dish that my wife and daughter like a lot.

I ordered for takeout and the food was ready extremely fast (less than 10 minutes). I had the drunken noodles which had great flavor and I thought the portion size was fair. The addition of bean sprouts was a welcome surprise as it added a different texture to the dish. I would have given it 5 stars but halfway through my meal I found a hair in my food. I get it, it happens but nonetheless it’s unappetizing when this happens.

After seeing the huge billboard for years of this restaurant, finally had the opportunity to give it a try.
It didn’t met our expectations as it’s surely not authentic Thai food as the name claims it is or even close. I don’t even think the cook or people working here are Thai. I would call it a fusion Asian restaurant.
The basil fried rice had no flavor of basil except for the few basil leaves that were tossed in the rice. The Pad Se-Ew was lacking the sweet soy sauce flavor that is the main sauce for making this dish which you can clearly see from the picture. A true Pad Se-Ew dish will have a darker brown looking color of the noodle. The noodle was also still hard.

Ordered to go. When I came in to pick up there were two ladies at the counter talking. They glanced at me, but kept talking to each other, so I stood at the counter and waited.. They glanced at me again but kept talking (about what they were going to do over the weekend)… So finally I interrupted to say I had a pickup order. They looked annoyed but got my food that was right behind them. I said “Thanks, have a nice night”, put a tip in the tip jar, and walked away. They said NOTHING. Oh, and I asked for utensils over the phone as I just moved and hadn’t unwrapped my silverware yet.. they gave me a fork and knife to eat my curry with, which I didn’t see until I got home. So cool. Cool cool cool cool. I’ll stick with Thai Orchid across the street. Thanks.

I’ve always enjoyed dining here because of the excellent food, service, and atmosphere, but my most recent experience left me disappointed. After spending over $200 on a meal with my wife and children, I expected the same high level of service I’m accustomed to.

Unfortunately, when we asked for a simple brown bag instead of a plastic carry-out bag, the server gave us a hard time. This may seem like a small request, but it’s the little things that make or break the customer experience. Spending that kind of money at a restaurant should come with courtesy and respect, not unnecessary pushback over something so trivial.

I hope management addresses this with the staff because loyal customers like us deserve better. Please ensure your servers understand the importance of maintaining excellent customer service at all times. I’d love to return, but experiences like this make me think twice.

I visited the restaurant at 8:20 PM after confirming over the phone that we could place our order by 9:00 PM. Unfortunately, our experience with the service was very disappointing. The server was not welcoming from the start and seemed impatient throughout our visit. She even misinformed us that we had to place our order by 8:35 PM, which contradicted the information given earlier.
This added unnecessary pressure, and we felt rushed during our meal.

Additionally, when we asked questions about whether certain items were vegetarian, the waitress responded with an arrogant attitude and gave us worried looks, making the interaction uncomfortable.

We hope this feedback helps improve your customer service standards. A more accommodating and polite approach would make the dining experience much better.

No complaints but nothing extraordinary. Good spot for date night but a little loud. Took a star off for service because I asked for no mushrooms twice and my dish still came out with mushrooms. No big deal as it was remade quickly. 1 Star off for food because the papaya salad had a very funky smell. I know it's made with fish sauce but it was especially funky. So much so that my date could smell from his side of table. I've ordered sushi via delivery service in the past and it was excellent.

I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp and some steamed veggies via delivery. The Pad Thai was delicious!! I couldn't eat my food straight away but my meal was still warm once I began to dive in. The flavors of everything was also well done with there being enough sauce and a good amount of shrimp. I also liked how much egg I got. Sometimes restaurants can skimp on the egg in these kinds of dishes but that wasn't the case with Green Papaya and any bite with a bit of egg was again, super flavorful. So overall would definitely recommend this restaurant and definitely try the Pad Thai if you like those types of dishes.

Green Papaya, we were all very happy to try the food and savor the dishes. We arrived and the Host Stand lady was very kind and we had a table quickly. Here the adventure begins, our waiter arrived and very hurriedly took our order, the starters began to arrive by the food runners, then other people picked up our empty plates, then I was trying to add another order to my order.. I looked and looked around and our waiter was not there, he was definitely nowhere to be found, we asked a young man who scared asked me if I needed something and I said to him ?? where is my waiter?? well to my surprise he was not there. Another waitress arrived to take the dessert order, well after half an hour already at the end... pluff our waiter appeared... just to give us the check!!!! hahahahaha incredible. Being a waiter is very easy like that, he never came to the table to see if we were okay or ask if we wanted something else. Well Green Papaya, know how to hire your waiters. The food tasted fresh.

If you have ever gone to a real Thai restaurant, you would know that this restaurant is not a real Thai restaurant.
I ordered red curry, medium spicy, it was more than medium, but it tasted like it has lots of red Chilli powder. The sauce was too much, runny liquid. I was very disappointed in the food.
Others in my group were also disappointed in the same way I was. It seems to me that this restaurant places a lot of emphasis on Ambiance, and not enough on real ,authentic Thai food taste.

This location is very behind compared to the other ones, this one is way smaller and less clean than the one in Orange Park. The service is also terrible, our waitress was inattentive the whole night, had to flag her down for a refill. Everything was also opposite of what we asked for, asked for spicy fried rice (level 5) somehow I got the plain one and saw the man behind us turning red, so I assumed the plates were swapped by mistakes I tired to ask the lady whom brought our food out was she sure this was the Spicy one she said yes not even stopping our checking. Asked us if we wanted separate checks somehow they still ended up being rung up together, oh it took them 15 mins to fix that had to flag her down again. Will not be back the food is ok but the service here is terrible. Not sure how this one has so many good reviews.

The atmosphere was typical for this type of restaurant. The food was good. We had a party of 10 and they conveniently left the itemized receipt out of receipt tray. I’m glad that I asked for it, when they brought it I saw they added the customary 18% gratuity for large parties. I feel like they did that so that I would tip the usual 20%, which would be them receiving ap 38% tip! Just dishonest and for me, if they’ll steal from you (or try to get one over on you) they are willing to do more! I won’t go back.

My recent visit to Green Papaya Thai & Sushi Cuisine on Beach Blvd was a delightful culinary adventure. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable meal.

To start, I ordered the Tom Yum Soup, and it was an absolute flavor explosion. The spicy and sour broth, combined with fresh shrimp, mushrooms, and fragrant lemongrass, was the perfect way to awaken my taste buds.

As a sushi enthusiast, I couldn't resist trying the Dragon Roll, and it did not disappoint. The tempura shrimp and cucumber inside were complemented perfectly by the creamy avocado and savory eel on top, all finished with a delicious eel sauce. It was a visual and gastronomic delight.

For the main course, I went with the classic Pad Thai. It struck the ideal balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, with tender chicken, crunchy peanuts, and fresh bean sprouts. Each bite was a joy, and the squeeze of lime added just the right amount of zest.

To cap off the meal, I indulged in the Mango Sticky Rice. The combination of ripe, juicy mango slices with warm coconut sticky rice was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal.

The service was ok and highly crowded during evenings. They want us to leave the table asap we receive our order. Although the food is tasty, make sure to look for cooked and raw meat places in the same menu. Overall, it was not as good service as I expected and table sizes are small to place dishes.

Two of us came in at 5:30 on a Saturday and were promptly seated; it was very busy! We were met by our server quickly and ordered a beer and a wine and the Green Papaya Sampler. Really recommend that! Crab rangoons, spring rolls, egg rolls, chicken satay and coconut shrimp were delish in a beautiful presentation! We had the Pad Seew with shrimp and Thai Basil beef (you can select your desired heat level) Everything came out quickly, as busy as they were, and was plentiful and very tasty. The prices are reasonable for the quality and amount you get.
It is such a fun place visually, with the screened wall with sharks or fish going by. Even the hall floor into the bathroom has a screen. (sorry for blurred pic). Would recommend reservations for more than two as they are very busy. It does move fast though. Fairly loud sound level, so no one will be bothered if you have noisy guests. They do a robust take out and bar as well. Definitely worth coming in!

One of the best spicy tuna rolls I've ever had. And I've eaten a lot of sushi and sushimi in my life. And the red curry with chicken and Jasmine rice,
Is Divine!

This was the first time I have dined here and I was happy with my visit. Pleasant, clean and friendly staff. The food was good. We had a party of 8, which 4 of our party were kids. We were all able to select items from the menu we enjoyed and the prices were reasonable. It's close to home and have more items I need to try. I plan to dine here again!

If you enjoy quiet dinners with your loved ones to have meaningful conversations in cozy, warm, and intimate environments, then this is NOT the place for you. If you're looking for a place to practice your sign language, then this IS the place for you. This place is LOUD. It was probably around 3/4 full when we went, and the noise level was comparable to a middle school cafeteria at lunchtime. We literally had to shout (for real) to the waitress to give our orders, and even with that she still misheard some of our orders. It was an immense relief to finally step outside, and even with one of those little cars with the obnoxious mufflers going by it still seemed deathly quiet by comparison. That said, the food was quite good, although the Thai Fresh Garlic stir fry with the seafood combination that I had seemed to be missing something, so I tried to add salt but there are no salt shakers on the tables so I just made do. Both the stir fry and the Tom Kha soup that I got also seemed to contain a little too much green pepper, especially the soup since I don't remember having had Tom Kha with bell peppers in it so it took a little getting used to. Other than that the food was good, and once we got outside where we could hear each other talk my companions said they liked what they got.

Anyway, overall, the food and service are good, but just remember to bring ear protection if you decide to eat here.

The ambiance is beautiful
However, the food and drinks were lackluster
I had 2 lamb chops that were very very small and lacked flavor but the overall presentation was beautiful
I ordered a dessert for them to sing happy bday to a friend but they never did
The dessert tasted like it came out of the box because it was still frozen
There's no music and tables are very close

Food was good with good portions just not quite what we remember from Thailand. Has more of an American twist to it, which isn't bad just not for us. The atmosphere however was really cool! We went with kids and they were mesmerized by the giant sharks swimming on the walls!

I recently came here for dinner with my fiancee and friends, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was very good. We also get take out here regularly, and it's always great. I highly recommend the pad see ew, the pineapple fried rice, and the fried goyza!

It seems unusual to me that the restaurant's hours say 10:30 pm and I, along with my family, arrive at 10:05 pm and the lady at the reception tells me that there is no longer service, only take-out. I come from orange park.

Green Papaya Thai & Sushi Cuisine on Beach Blvd is a fantastic find! The food is consistently delicious, with a wide variety of Thai dishes. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every dining experience enjoyable. Whether you're in the mood for Pad Thai or fresh sushi, Green Papaya delivers on taste and quality. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! I've visited other Green Papaya locations, but this one stands out, and I'll be returning mostly to this location ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also, the amazing views they offer for the kids with the sea creatures from the monitor add to the delightful dining experience.

We went for lunch and had the sushi 2-roll special. There was an excellent presentation. There are several members of the wait staff and they use tablets for efficient and quick orders. The staff could have been friendlier, but we were there for a busy lunch.

I would have given five stars, but the staff don't practice Osha food safety! One of the waitresses serves the food with a pair of black plastic gloves. I watched, and she served multiple tables with the same pair of gloves. You can't do that. The thing to do would be wash and sanitize your hands. I also witnessed a noodle hanging from a plate. The server, which was male casually, used his finger to throw the noddle up on the plate. Know one saw, but I did! I started to tell the table he was serving what I witnessed, but I didn't want to cause a scene. Maybe I should have rocked the boat!
