What User doesn't like about Papaya King:
I had the chili combo. the order was fast and convenient, and I received my food relatiw fast. the hot dogs tasted quite standard, and the chili was a good note. expected a little more for the price that the combo cost, but overall was quite decent. I also enjoyed the Papaya potion! View all feedback. What User likes about Papaya King:
I usually went to gray’s papaya, but the king papaya is essentially the same. they happen to have more options like pommes and various toppings. hot dogs were beautiful and juicy with this light crunch, while rolls slightly to the right. View all feedback.

I have to pick Gray’s Papaya over this. The food was great, but there is an x-factor of the atmosphere that’s missing. That and it’s more expensive. It is a goo...

King Papaya offers a tantalizing array of hot dogs, praised for their juicy flavors and fresh toppings. The standout choices include the classic home run dog topped with sauerkraut and New York onions, alongside refreshing tropical juices like mango and papaya. While the service is quick and friendly, some diners report inconsistencies, particularly with the fries, which can be undercooked or reheated. Despite a cozy atmosphere and decent pricing, fans of Gray's Papaya may find the experience lacking that extra appeal. King Papaya remains a solid choice for a quick bite in the neighborhood.

The hotdogs were tasty but my order was incorrect. I tried the Upper East Side hotdog and it was delicious.

This was the worst food I have ever ordered from DoorDash. The fries were dry and seemed like they were reheated from the previous day. I couldn't even eat them...

This place had amazing hot dogs. The NY onions were pretty good I'd describe them as onions with ketchup and vinegar. The kraut, of course, was delicious. We or...
