Thai Papaya - Newport News

This cozy little restaurant may look unassuming, but it serves genuine Thai cuisine with a great variety of flavors. The dishes range from incredibly spicy to mild, sweet, and nutty. I can confidently say that they have the best pad Thai and iced tea I've ever tasted!

The red curry tofu was incredible! The flavor was outstanding! We ordered takeout, but the service felt a bit lacking compared to the food experience.

The Thai Green Curry was incredibly flavorful and one of the best I’ve ever had. It paired wonderfully with rice, and the spice level was just right. The portions were very generous, and the vegetables were expertly sliced—not too chunky, but thinly cut to enhance the dish.

Very bland Chicken Pad Thai. Honestly not good, probably the worst I had in a restaurant. Better taste in the freezer pad Thai in the grocery stores. The sibling? Chicken is only ground chicken. Not good either. Everything for $13.56 only for lunch.

Great experience, good food and quality on service. Highly recommended. We eat dumplings, coconut soup, noodles and rice.
