I had lunch and was seated upon arrival. The server was on top of if and we had our menus right away. She was knowledgable about what foods were gluten free. So that was helpful. We didn’t have to wait long to order and receive our food. We tried the massamam curry, pad Thai and lettuce wraps. Everything had good flavor and was cooked well. The price was fair.

The food looks great. The flavors were a little off from what I would expect. The sticky rice was made fresh the day. If you like spicy, order a level above normal to make sure you’re not disappointed.

Cute little restaurant and the lunch special is a really great deal. Its not the best Thai food I’ve ever had but it’s solid and the price is unreal. The massaman curry is amazing!!!! The pad thai and cashew chicken is okay. The orange chicken has a good sauce but the chicken itself is very bland. Egg roll was really good
Overall a really good lunch spot!

I DO NOT PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PLACE. The inside is lovely and spacious. This has been my go to Thai place for years! I recommend any of the curry, the pad Thai, Thai fried rice if you’re a picky eater, all the desserts are delicious.

Wow. Just, wow. This was BY FAR the best Thai food I’ve ever had. My man and I had the combo sampler, the gai yum and the crying tiger. Everything was amazing, right down to the fried tofu. The sauce they included with the crying tiger dish was AMAZING. I could straight up drink a cup of it. I cannot wait to try everything on their menu

This is a solid Thai restaurant, which with the number in Ut County is a compliment. It is a nice blend of casual and theme. While we enjoyed the dinner, it felt more like a great lunch venue.
Prices are spot on, portions generous – next time I’ll order sides and one main dish for 2.
You can select heat in curry (a 2 was pleasantly warm) the sweet and sour chicken was a very generous portion, did not have as complex a mix of flavors many Thai have, a bit sweet (from pineapple). Loved the non-breaded choice.
We will definitely return for a lunch treat.

YOU GOTTA EAT HERE. Superior Thai food, service, and atmosphere. Our waitress, First, made us feel very welcome and gave us excellent customer service. She recommended the mango smoothie, told me it’s her favorite thing to make out of the whole menu, and made it really well for me. If you go and First is working, definitely order the mango smoothie and request her to make it. Anyway the food was ELITE and please come eat here. PS ORDER THE MANGO STICKY RICE SO GOOD AHHHHH

Just finished eating at Thai papaya. Overall, very happy with the quick simple dinner.
I got the curry shrimp based on the waitresses suggestion at a three spice level. Came with a decent sized bowl of rice and quite a few large shrimp flavor is great shrimp were delicious. This is maybe a fairly Thai dish and might not be for everyone, but I loved it. Tails on the shrimp lightly breaded with onions, strong curry, taste, and eggs cooked into the sauce. I didn’t really taste much spice so if you want spice, maybe do a four or five.
The ambience is very relaxed, I was asked to pick any seat when I walked in, overall they’re trying to replicate the vibe of a chill Thai restaurant and they do it well for it being winter in Utah.
Spoke with who I think is the owner/chef and she was very energetic and happy which is always a good sign.

The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the flavors are authentically Thai. The portion sizes are just right for the price. It’s so good that I’ll definitely be coming back again!
Highly recommend the Beef Pad See Ew and the Lao-style Papaya Salad — super delicious!
