" I’ve traveled to Vietnam a number of times, and Papaya Kitchen is the closest I’ve found to the real deal here in the States. The flavors are outstanding and the ingredients are fresh. Kudos to Alan for running such a fine establishment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent dining experience at Papaya Kitchen! The decor is unpretentious and cozy - suitable for a quiet dinner. The food is fresh and delicious. I couldn’t stop eating the pork vermicelli bowl; it was so hearty and flavorful! Just a heads-up, seating can be quite limited, but the food is worth the wait. Great for takeout as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had pretty high expectations after hearing so much about Papaya Kitchen—and I can confidently say it lived up to the hype!

" (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how amazing Papaya Kitchen truly is! The pho here tastes just like what I'd had in Vietnam, with flavorful broth and plenty of fresh herbs to add on top.
