Papaya Thai - Rochester

We ordered vegan dishes including the Tom Yum with tofu and the garlic veg stir fry with tofu. I'm not sure what my husband ended up with because he mistakenly ordered something with meat that had a tofu option (turned out to be in addition to the meat), so that went to another family member and he ordered off the cuff. We all loved our food very fresh, very tasty. Nothing was bland, not very spicy hot but I don't even know if that was an option. We will be returning.

This restaurant recently reopened (Feb, 2014) after renovations and with new owners. The decor is clean and newly furnished albeit with limited seating. The food was very good with many dishes listed with a choice of meat, seafood or tofu or just vegetables. Overall, the food is a cut above what the average chinese restaurant in this area serves. On a second trip, I got the fried tofu with peanut sauce appetizer which was delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Pad Thai was very good and an ample serving. By the way, dishes served with rice can be white rice or brown rice. Can be crowded on a Sat. night (I've heard), but no problem at lunch time. Updated from previous review on Monday March 10, 2014

The food was okay. I was really craving a Pho. I was expecting it to be hot since it was so cold but it wasn't hot. The Padthai is okay. It took a while to serve the food.

Friendly and quick service, delicious food, good portions, and reasonable prices. We have dined here several times and beef Pho or chicken Pho were always delicious! You can dine in, have a take-out, or get a delivery. Free parking lot across the street.

Unique environment, motivated friendly Staff, Food choices and options to satisfy even the pickiest eaters! Happy Holidays!
