Green Papaya Cafe

So what a hidden gem. It looks terrible from the outside. And when I walked in it looks like a old Asian restaurant. But the review where so good I stayed. I had the filet it came with a amazing spinach and mushroom salad with a raspberry vinaigrette that was so good I used bread to finish it off. The steak was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes creamy and rich. Fresh crisp green beans. All homemade and amazing. My friend got chicken park that was very good. Sauce was a bit sweet but good. We all finished it off with carrot cake that was moist and delicious. Can't wait to come back. Don't let the exterior and small inside fool you. Its amazing

The best cheap place in the Rhawnhurst area. Excellent full meal and and everything is tasty! My favorite place to be. Henry the manager is the best . Kim is the greatest chef . She wants everything fresh and clean. You can also request an off menu food like pork chop and crab meat she'd of time.enjoy

It was just okay. I was hoping to have something tasty based on the rave reviews, but it was underwhelming. I ordered the mild version of Spicy Garlic Chicken and the portions were very small. The chicken had some flavor, but it seemed like the cook wasn't very familiar with American dishes. It is kind of concealed and in an obscure location which causes skepticism, but I try to give places like this a chance because sometimes these are jewels hidden in sight. This wasn't it sadly.

I've passed this little restaurant many times but never gave it a second thought. It's not very inviting to look at. However, the food is so fabulous. I got the chicken green papaya and my friend got the lamb chops. Everything was scrumptious. The salad was delicious and everything was so tasty. Highly recommend

In believable lamb here! Kim is a fabulous chef & Henry is a great front manager. Previously from Cafe Nola @ Lickety Split too!

This is such a secret gem. The owner is the super sweet and kind. It's more of a neighborhood go to place. The food is good especially the grilled steak (blackened) and love their chocolate cake! Taste like home and with love

One of my favorite restaurants in Philly! Kim is an amazing chef and its a shame that her talents go largely unnoticed in this location.

I ordered the teriyaki chicken platter thinking it was gonna be small chicken pieces with rice.. I got more like a chicken kebab with rice, wasnt really what I was expecting. It's was good but I prolly won't be back for a second visit

So sad this place closed. I went twice and both times the food was Green amazing. Thank

Excellent food quiet dining limited menu but tasty and always prepared excellently. My work is crazy being in the food industry but I try to get there at at least once a month or so if possible
