THAI PAPAYA

One of the nice Thai restaurants in Allen. Their pad thai dish are pretty good. Their is popular dish. They do serve various popular Thai foods. Come by and supper the family small business. They have good service and good food for a good price. We came in a big group. Tried their chicken and shrimp pad thai with sharable Thai papaya salad (Lao Style). Highly recommend for Thai food lovers in Allen. 🍝

I think we found our go-to Thai restaurant! I want to start off by saying the owner is such a kind soul and kept checking in on us! There wasn’t a moment where we were waiting for assistance! Such great service run by a wonderful family! And the food was beyond our expectations. Heavily authentic and very flavorful! I also recommend exploring the drink options, I thoroughly enjoyed the green Thai tea!

The beef Pad Thai here is absolutely delicious, with tender beef that's cooked just right—not dry or chewy at all. The Thai fried rice combination is equally amazing, with perfect flavors and very generous portions. It's no surprise this place gets crowded in the evenings; the food is simply that good. With its welcoming atmosphere, it's a perfect spot for a family lunch or dinner.

We were looking for a place to go after church Wednesday night. If you live in Allen you know, as you approach 9pm the choices get more and more limited. We love Crystal Pho, but good luck catching them open! Even when they're open, sometimes they're closed, so we were looking for a new place that may want to have customers. We found Thai Papaya on Google with 4.9 review, open until 9pm!! So, we decided to give them a try and we were so glad we did. Unlike other places, when we walked in they seemed happy we were there. They didn't look up at the clock, or their watch, or tell us they had to check the kitchen, they looked for a table and walked us to our table and took our drink order. We were already impressed. The restaurant seems brand new, very clean, with a contemporary style combined with nature, bamboo and greenery, and a sign I loved that simply reads, "family." What a perfect fit for Allen. We ordered chicken satay as an appetizer. I'll be honest, I didn't expect to love it. Very often chicken satay is like chicken jerkey and I wonder why we order it. I have to say Thai Papaya was the best chicken satay I've ever had. It was moist, flavorful, and I would highly recommend. What a great protein appetizer, not fried, but juicy and delicious. My husband and I each ordered curry, he got the red curry and I got the pineapple curry, both chicken. I got a level 1 spicy and he got level 2. They were perfect. So much flavor! The food was so hot and fresh we couldn't quite eat it until it cooled down. What a great problem to have! When we arrived there were 4 other tables dining. By the time we got our food they were gone, not that the food took a long time, but it was late, they were done, and so they left. We asked for togo boxes. The staff reassured us we did not have to leave, but we were fine to take it to go and put our feet up at home to finish. We appreciated that their response wasn't, "Thank God! Get out," like we sometimes get elsewhere as they mop around your feet while you eat. Lol I did want to mention I used the restroom while there. It was so clean. Everything was so clean. So, Thai Papaya is friendly, clean, fast, delicious and open during scheduled open hours. What more could you want? We will definitely be back. I look forward to going back and trying something else, although the pineapple curry was so delicious I'll probably have to order that, too. Welcome to Allen Thai Papaya! We're glad you are here.

The girl who served us was so sweet and amazing!! The place is very clean and everything was phenomenal- the food, drinks, and dessert were all so delicious. It was also my boyfriend’s first time trying Thai food and he loved it!

The best most authentic Thai restaurants you can find around. The pad Thai dish is beyond what you expect with all the right flavors. The homemade panang curry is very rich and creamy. It is a top favorite dish of mine here. Everything also came out hot. Very friendly and met with smiles being served. Been here multiple times and it’s always been a hit! Love this place! Worth the drive!

Was looking for our go-to Thai spot in the area and happy we found Thai Papaya. The food and portions are great. The restaurant is clean and taken care of. I especially appreciated the service! The server, chef, and others came by to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Will be back!

The food is absolutely phenomenal! Living in Plano for 5 years, we have been on a constant hunt for the most authentic Thai food, and this place serves it. The minute we entered cute wooden and miniature elephants greeted us, and the service was quick and efficient. I ordered the basil fried rice with tofu, and my father ordered panang pineapple curry with tofu. I got a spice level 4, and he got spice level 2, and they were pretty spicy. They added more chili to mine to increase the spiciness. The basil rice was extremely tasty and the tofu was fried to perfection. The panang pineapple curry was so creamy and sweet. I'm definitely coming back to try their pad thai and pad see ow!
