The papaya salad at this Pure Water never disappoints. And if you happen to need a snack or a drink, they have options.

Came in for some papaya salad.They have the best papaya salad/portion! It's $10 as of 6/2022. For those who don't want it too spicy get 2 peppers. It gives it a kick without numbing your whole mouth and killing your taste buds. It was also very fresh and had a crunch. Cash only. Wait time about 10 mins or less. I also called ahead of time to see if they were making it so I wouldn't have to waste time driving there.It's a small tiny shop with with your typical Asian food items. The stuff they sell are a little bit over priced but it's not too bad. Shop smells a bit funky but I'm assuming it's from making the foods in the back. Minus one star because of cash only for hot foods. They accept debit for other store items though.I'd recommend this place if anyone has papaya salad cravings.

It's interesting that this Pure Water sells Papaya Salad and Kapoon. Honestly I only came for the papaya salad and it was delicious. Aside from water, papaya salad, and kapoon, they also sell a variety of Asian snacks. And, they are located in the Home Depot plaza, directly across from Home Depot.

This place is a hidden gem if you are craving some Asian food. They have papaya salad and kapoon. This is my go to spot for both papaya salad and kapoon. For those who do not know what kapoon is, it is a curry base soup that is delicious. I would recommend if you want the kapoon soup noodle then call ahead of time because they don't always have it. For some reason they only make it when the mother of the business is working that day.

If you're looking for papaya salad, this is it. The local mom and pops shop for your hmong/lao style papaya fix. Call in ahead for quicker service as walk-ins may take a little longer due to everything being made to order. Party trays are mixed once you check in to maintain freshness. This is definitely my go-to spot for papaya salad.

I've been here a few times a few years ago. Last time I was here I tried to use my credit card. The lady immediately told me she only takes cash. I didn't have cash on me, so I told her I'd have to cancel my purchase then. She looked irritated and tells me that she can let it go this one time and let me use my debit card. Unfortunately for me, I didn't have my debit card either! I left with nothing. I mean, if you really don't want business then keep it up like the olden days. And to add on to that nonsense, their customer service is horrible. The guy, possibly her son, is also horrible with customer service. In the past where I did use cash, I ordered some food and it was a long wait for one item. Food was ok, but their papaya salad really stinks up the place. When they did finish it up they just came to the front, said nothing and threw it on the counter. Definitely never coming back. It looks so dirty in there too. Do better!

Put a finger down if you've come to this store multiple times and each time you have received atrocious and mediocre service. All of my fingers are down because each time I came to pick up an order of papaya salad it is either undone or in the process of being made. Are you serious? If I could rate this 0 stars I would. I get that most asian business have horrible service but this is actually absurd. I am so ashamed. I can see why us asians have a bad reputation now. Don't get me wrong, your papaya salad is delicious but it's NOT AT ALL worth being disrespected each and every time I come. Everyone stay away from this place unless you want to feel like your throat is being ripped out of your neck. Good riddance
