Fast service, authentic recipes, and great flavors! The food came out at the perfect temperature and perfect exotically herbal heat level. Good food and great prices.

I had the egg/broccoli/carrot Pad Thai with shrimp and unfortunately it was pretty awful. It had no flavor and the shrimp were tiny and a little overcooked. Granted you get a ton of food but because it was so bland, I just stopped eating once I was somewhat full and threw the rest away.

I dined at Thai Papaya Restaurant on Tuesday, January, 26, 2021 at 1 pm. Their impressive menu offers a variety of dishes ranging from Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Lao. I've yet to see an Asian fusion restaurant that is able to pull off such an expansive menu, and I'm sorry to say that this one was way off the mark. I'd love to revisit to try their other dishes to write a more comprehensive review covering their other dishes, but my first experience was enough to avoid this place in the future. The pho tasted very cheap like something that I would expect at an Asian buffet. The meat tasted old and not fresh and meatballs were very small and tasted like I was being cheaped out. The Thai spicy seafood salad was average and needed a lot of refinement and finesse. The rice plate (V26 Dac biet Tau Huky Rice plate) was a mess. The meatloaf looked like someone had already taken a bite out of it and tasted OLD. The grilled pork lacked any flavor or seasoning. The egg was overcooked and fried to hell at the bottom. This Vietnamese dish is supposed to be a very classic comfort food, but I left dissatisfied. Service could use improvement. The server took a while to give us menus after being seated. She didn't write down any of our orders and ended up forgetting a dish (not surprised). However, all was forgiven after she sat down at a table behind us for her lunch break and started talking obnoxiously on the phone. Overall, the food tasted like quick half-assed food. This restaurant needs to work on refining their dishes and reevaluate their capabilities in cooking such a big menu. I rather eat at a restaurant with a small menu that has above average food than a restaurant with a large menu with poor quality food. Less is more.

We stopped here after a long day of travel and had an excellent meal. The pho was generous in portion and tasty. My son had the teriyaki beef, and it was cooked just right and came with a lot of delicious veggies and a big side of ride. Great Thai milk tea as well, and excellent service.

This place use to be one of my favorite Thai places in Nashville, but has since become an after thought. The quality of the food has gone down significantly and service can be slow if they're busy. I have now moved on to other Thai places in the area.

We found this place conveniently close to our hotel and we wanted Vietnamese. It's in a strip mall - east to get to and plenty of parking. Walking in - very clean and nicely decorated. We were greeted and seated right away. It wasn't too busy. Our waitress brought over waters and we were ready to order so we let her know. I got the meatball pho. I asked for no onions or cilantro. My mom got one of the rice and pork chop meals. My step dad also got pho. We were giving the typical extras for the pho of bean sprouts, limes, and jalapeños but no other common things like Thai basil or mint. The pho came out and the broth was very dark compared to what I've seen before. It tasted standard to me - not so bad. My mom was not impressed with her meal. She mentioned there was no dipping sauce for her pork (I guess standard) and the amount of meat they give you for the price of the dish is comical. They also gave her a butter knife to cut it and it would cut. It looked dry and she was unsatisfied. The service was not great either. We got checked on in the very beginning when our food was served but never again after. The two girls working just hung out at the counter talking. My mom kept mentioning the next day that we needed to find "REAL" Vietnamese food - did i mention we are Vietnamese? I guess it's our fault for going to a restaurant that has 3 different types of Asian foods (they have Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese). I'm assuming the person who runs it isn't Vietnamese. Food was not great and overpriced.

Not my favorite Thai restaurant. I was so excited to see a Thai menu, a Lao menu, a Japanese Menu, etc. but after tasting a number of items from the menu, it left me wishing I had gone somewhere else at least to a better Asian restaurant.I will say that the food was presented beautifully, the ambience was nice, and the service was very good. It was just the flavors that were lacking. I'm assuming that maybe it was just a bad day? But if I'm honest, I'm not sure I'd venture in again to give them another try myself in less I had a gift certificate or something.Anyway, I hate giving bad reviews of a place, but I wouldn't want someone to steer me in the wrong direction, and that's what YELP is all about anyway. Helping people to make better choices on their dining experiences!

Our regular thai place was closed due to the snow so we figured we would give thai papaya a try and it will definitely be our last time going. I hate leaving bad reviews but i feel like i have to. The service was okay. It really just felt like we weren't wanted there and the food tasted fine. We ordered a to go fried rice and found a bug in it when we got home. They did apologize and give us a refund on the food we ordered to go but not on the rest of the check.
