Generous portions of authentic Thai food served in a traditionally-decorated locale. Plenty of vegetarian options (indicated with a green heart on the menu) that can be made vegan simply by removing egg, as dairy is not traditionally a part of Thai cuisine. Standard prices. Very quick service, even on busy evenings. Nice location in Little Italy with plenty of street parking nearby (free evenings after 5:30pm and weekends).

Nice decor and music, calm atmosphere for comfortable dining. Shrimp chips were served with tasty peanut sauce, but those chips never did grab me. The food was well presented and very tasty - Tom Ka soup, chicken curry with Jasmin rice. There is a selection of domestic and imported beers. We arrived at 8pm and the food was served within minutes. Staff seemed a bit rushed as it approached 9pm, wanting to clean up and go home.

The Green Papaya turned out to be a great Thai restaurant. I was expecting a regular Thai restaurant with the same old dishes. However, the food wasn't average: it was significantly better. The Pad Thai was different from the regular Pad Thai. None of us could stop eating it. The other dishes were flavourful, too.The seating area is a little on the small side, but we didn't mind as the food compensated for it. For those who like beer, you'll be pleased to know that they have a decent selection of Asian beers (Thai, Singapore, Japanese, and others) as well as European.The price of the food isn't excessive. For the 4 of us with 3 beers, a couple of starters, 5 entree dishes, and 2 deserts, it came to $185.The service was good too.I will return again for the food.The guy in the picture isn't me.....he's a guy who loves his food, but couldn't figure out how best to showcase the food, resulting in a funny smile & pose.It was a pleasant dining experience.

If you're looking for traditional Thai curries with great strong flavor - do NOT eat here.This restaurant actually used to be good, but their quality has went downhill. The flavors are sooo bland and they focus more on to trying to make their dishes look appealing instead of making them taste appealing...I had the daily curry special (2.7/5) which came with a bit of everything. Everything was edible but nothing tasted great. Everything was lacking flavor or just had the wrong flavor completely.My friend ordered pad Thai and it looked repulsive and tasted super off, nothing like it should, and based off other reviews of the pad Thai I am not the only one that had this problem.

Loved the seafood curry, good value for the price and very tasty, did feel a bit cramped sitting inside for dinner when it got busy.

A quaint restaurant with cute decor ! We came here on a Sunday evening and it was quiet. Our server was very attentive and we loved every dish we ordered. Definitely going to be one of our new go to Thai restaurants.

The ambiance was quiet, peaceful and intimate so my friends and I really enjoyed meeting here for a departure meal! Everything was so tasty and nicely presented. It is a basic choice but my vegetarian pad Thai was done so well, it didn’t need anything else. I’ve been on the hunt for a good pad Thai and have always left somewhat satisfied but that really filled my craving and myexpectations. Very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant ❤️

I forgot how great it is to dine in and experience the ambiance of the Green Papaya restaurant. The delicious aroma greets you at the door and the attentive service and amazing food make you want to return.The food is amazing. Hands down, the best Panang - chicken, beef or tofu - we ordered all three!

Ended up here because the other two Thai places were take out only. Service was great, nice atmosphere. Ordered To Kha soup and Tom Yum soups. Both were quite good. Coconut milk could have been blended better into the Tom Kha. The Pad Thai and Beef with Basil were both very good. Glad the other places were unavailable for dine in.

Great ambiance, service and food. It’s so hard to find good Thai food in the Ottawa area but Green Papaya has it down. Highly recommended.
