They have some parking spaces up front and on side street so its a convenient spot. I love their Thai Iced Coffee. Its strong but sweet and refreshing. Personally Im not a big fan of the Thai Iced Tea though (the bf LOVED it). It was just too sweet. The Green Papaya salad (Som-Tum) is good, not authentic but is light, spicy and refreshing. The sushi rolls are kinda small but the yellowtail tuna (I think) was the best. Pad See Ew is ok, and Siam Seafood was the best. They gave very generous seafood and if you ask for HOT spice level, they will make it HOT!!!! Highly disappointed with the crispy Pad Thai. It was way too sweet and not spicy even though I asked for it to be hot. It was all kinds of not what I expected from a Pad Thai (very sad face). But all in all service was decent and its good value for the price for most items. Theres just a lot more misses than hits I think.

Green Papaya is a top choice among Hyde Parkers. Its genuinely a rare occurrence that I dine there without spotting at least one friend or acquaintance. The restaurant has a diverse menu with standard Thai fare (Pad Thai, etc) and many other rice, noodle, and meat dishes. I generally order their Pad See You; my friends highly recommend the Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and Yellow Curry. I dont think Ive tried their sushi but Ive heard that its pretty good. I find the portions to be a bit on the smaller side (however, Im a very hungry guy) but Ive never heard anyone else complain about this.

A really good place to enjoy the Thai and Japanese cuisine with the people you love. I chose this restaurant for my first date with my sweetheart and she loved it. The food is good, the ambiance is great. The only thing that I didnt like is that the server made us wait for a long time, there was rush even on a Wednesday evening so Id recommend to reserve a table. The parking is kind of an issue so the best bet is to park down the adjacent lane near the houses. We loved the Pad Thai as well as the Bangkok Fried Rice. It is a beautiful place and a must if you want a good dinner.

Average food and overpriced for what you get. Ive had my share of Thai food and sushi to feel like I can rate it appropriately. My boyfriend had a mango curry dish served in a pineapple (nice presentation) and I had spring rolls and a roll of specialty sushi (cant remember what kind). The food quality was ok, not bad, but nothing great. I was particularly disappointed with the cost of the sushi given the quality and size. Not the worst place Ive been, but I definitely wont go back with all the other options in town.

The place was nice and the food was good. It was really helpful to have vegan & vegetarian friendly options that were real meals (as opposed to some of the appetizer-level options available at some places). Service was laid back and made sure they werent rushing people, but not in a bad way. I got the mango curry and the flavors were balanced very well and it was a good amount of food for a lunch special. Parking isnt the most convenient sometimes, but the place is worth the parking frustration.

Went with my friend and we had the steamed vegetable dumplings, tom yum soup. both were delicious. also had a green tea. good. but thats pretty much how green tea is everywhere. For the main dishes we had the tofu green thai curry (hot) was excellent. tofu hot thai spicy sauce (xtra hot) and it was perfect. I just spent a month in thailand at the end of december through january and its the best thai food ive had since i was there. Very worth going and the prices are great.

I had heard this place was worth trying from a friend and it was exactly that; worth trying. The food, while good, wasnt as good as some other Thai restaurants in the area. Also, the portion sizes are quite small for the price, which was pretty high. Ex: two fresh rolls for $6 seemed pretty steep to me. I wasnt overwhelmed by their quality of service either. Not bad but theres better options out there.

The food is wonderful but dont go in an hour before they close, lunch or dinner. Rushed. Go in 30 minutes before closing and you will be sent away. It has happened to me too many times. The manager needs to know this as it has never happened in Hyde Park. I love the closeness to my home but the main waiter is constantly pushing. He truly wants to walk out at close which is not the restaurant business.

A friend took me here about 3 weeks ago and I have returned nearly 8 times since then. The food is delicious. Its authentic, family run, great variety in the menu of thai and sushi and some chinese. Definitely worth a try, I guarentee you will be back. Some dish recommendations are the Red Curry, Shrimp Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and you must try the Thai Iced Tea. Have yet to try anything I didnt like.

Friendly wait staff, a variety of food to suit all diets, attention to detail and care over the food provided to customers. The water was always not very good (understatement), Im not sure why, but we would sometimes bring our own bottled water since we were not on pop & wanted to save a little money. Everything else, though, made up for the water fact. I have been here at least 20+ times.

Just ate here for the first time. Came very highly recommend and it did not disapoint! Pad Thai was fabulous! And so was the tuna rolls. We also had the shrimp dumplings which were very good! The service was excellent and our server was very polite. We will absolutely be going back! The prices were also well below any other quality Thai place I have been to!

The sushi was good but not outstanding. Prices were average. Had the crunchy chicken pad Thai. Was very sweet and just not very good. They have 3 levels and I got the middle one. Expected a lot more spice. The papaya salad was very spicy. Kind of unexpectedly so. But the salad was the best part of the meal. Probably would go elsewhere next time.

Had a first date there last night. The servers were very respectful, and service was very polite. They tended to our needs very promptly, prebussed the table very well too. The wine was very good, especially the prices too. Sushi quality was just as good as any other good sushi place in the Hyde Park area. I will be back!

This place is killer. I go here for lunch often and sometimes for dinner. Their lunch boxes are more than enough to fill you up. Their Pad Thai and Mango Curry are to die for. The service can be slow when I order sushi, but its understandable; its sushi.Overall, this is a great place to eat and have a great time.
