One of the best waiters ive ever had!! he checked on my table several times and made small talks often—super nice. Food was great and seemed very authentic. Highly recommend the popcorn chicken for kids, very similar to chicken tenders but crispier and better.

While visiting my hometown of Cincinnati, my brother and sister-in-law took me to the green papaya on Wasson Road. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, the service and the food! We visited on a Sunday night so the parking was plentiful. I had the miso soup, ginger salad, and the tempura shrimp and vegetable combo all fried perfectly. I had a taste of my sister-in-law‘s Choo Chee curry. I didn’t think I liked curry, but that was delicious. It had sweet undertones. I didn’t get a photo of my brothers coconut soup, but I can tell you I wished I had gotten that instead of the miso soup. Rich, flavorful and mild coconut with tofu. I have to say the Ta Ta roll was the star of the show! It’s a must have and slightly fried for a crunchy rice outer texture. I highly recommend the green papaya restaurant for anyone who loves really good Thai food and sushi.

Good food and good service. The portions of food and price for lunch are reasonable and great tasting. I only wish the crispy pad thai dish that I had for lunch still had the egg in it and the parking was a little better. Other than that the server was really good and the menu is good.

Cozy little place with modest decor. Calm enough to enjoy conversations and catching up with friends. The food is so delicious! Culturally expected dishes, but executed flawlessly. The food was devoured before I remembered to take pictures.

The server was short, not very friendly. The veggie dumplings could have been fried longer. Whatever seasoning they used, it taste like sassafras. I didn't like it at all. I got the crazy fried rice. Parking is awful, the menu was stapled together lol. It looks like a s*** hole on the outside.

Went here for an impromptu early dinner as we needed to fuel up before a night concert nearby so we decided to order some appetizers of fried tofu and crab rangoon and both came with sweet and sour sauces along with a set of sushi rolls of Hyde Park Roll (tuna, salmon, avocado, and cream cheese? And they were fried if I'm not mistaken). Oh, I also wanted something sweet so I got the signature Thai Iced Tea which was so good and not too sweet to my palate. For the food, every dish we ordered was okay – personal note was the crab Rangoon's filling was not as flavorful as expected but the sauce saved it so I hope the cream cheese or other ingredients of the filling could be more flavored and enhanced in some ways? Just a thought.

The service was good although I could see the waiter was really wondering when we would leave as we stayed for almost an hour just by ordering two appetizers, one roll, and a glass of Thai iced tea, however, we did not mean that way as we really needed a place to settle down before the event. I used the toilet to clean up and changed my clothes, the toilet was super clean, smelled good, and was very proper in my opinion. The vibe of the place was very authentic Thai and as time went by, a lot of people were coming in for dinner. I would say the neighborhood area was pretty nice as we saw a lot of people doing evening runs or walking in proper exercise outfits which seemed nice! They also have a few parking spots in front of the restaurant, maybe 4-5 cars will fit?

After checking out, there was a bowl of lollipops and we took one for each other, I got the grape and my bf took the rootbeer one which he really loved, and talked about it for the night. Recommended if you are around in the neighborhood and want to try Thai dishes with some fusion sushi rolls!

Great tasting Curry Chicken and Sushi 🍣 Also, the Green Tea was refreshing! Update: The Mango Curry Beef is my new favorite dish 😋

A nice little thai restaurant with a good amount of options to try. Almost everything on the menu could be vegetarian. I had the lemonade which was refreshing. I ordered mango curry which came in a pineapple husk. It was a very pretty picture. My friend ordered red curry. We both liked our food. The prices are very reasonable for the quantity. The service is excellent. Our waitress was attentive but not disturbing at the same time. Kudos to her. I will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu.
