Green Papaya - Philadelphia

I ordered the teriyaki chicken platter expecting small pieces of chicken with rice. Instead, I received more of a chicken kebab with rice, which was not what I had anticipated. The dish was good, but I probably won't be returning for another visit.

The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. My only issue is with the ambiance of the restaurant. It doesn't give off the impression of being open, even though it is.

I am thrilled to have discovered this hidden gem of a restaurant. Despite its dark and inconspicuous location in a strip mall, the interior welcomes you with the kindness of its owners. The food is incredibly delicious and reasonably priced. We had no trouble getting a table on a Friday night at 7 o'clock. I tried the chicken skewers, garden salad, and chicken piccante for under $20, while my wife raved about her Vietnamese egg rolls and broiled salmon. My daughters claimed their NY strip steaks were better than what I cook at home, and I must admit, the steak was excellent. The meal, including wonton soup, cost us $63 for the four of us. Don't judge this place by its exterior - give it a try and you won't regret it. Just save us a table because we will definitely be returning. It's worth noting that this restaurant is BYOB. Despite Google listing it as closed, it was open and fantastic.

I've passed this little restaurant many times but never gave it a second thought. It's not very inviting to look at. However, the food is so fabulous. I got the chicken green papaya and my friend got the lamb chops. Everything was scrumptious. The salad was delicious and everything was so tasty. Highly recommend

Go. I promise you'll love it. Great prices. Excellent food. Wide variety.
