Green Papaya Thai Sushi(st Augustine)

We struggled with our dinner at GP St. Augustine, do not trust the billboards. We are critical based on the price of a meal to the quality of the food.As an appetizer we ordered the fresh spring rolls, they were not prepared fresh, but rather tasted four hours old and kept in a refrigerator, covered in plastic wrap. The rice paper was stuck to the leaf on the plate and the shredded salad was just touch before soggy.By far the beef panang curry was the better of our two entrees. Good, not great, because the meat was chewy and fatty. Flavorwise the curry was very good, with just enough broth to enjoy the fresher vegatables and half of the bland white rice. Eggplant was a nice surprise with the curry, but it was overcooked and soggy.AVOID the special Thai fried rice, it was horrible. Somehow the rice was overcooked and dried out and the vegetables were previously frozen, NOT fresh, overcooked, and dried out. Once again the meat was fatty and chewy, and somehow the shrimp were way overcooked and tough like a rubber band. Thankfully the chicken was the saving grace of the dish. I am not sure what they did to the egg, but it tasted like the rest of the meal, overcooked and it felt like the dish was sitting under a heat lamp for an hour waiting for someone to order it.

Very nice restaurant, good location. Not as big as the one up on SR210, but just as good. Food was very good service was fast. Atmosphere was rather unique with the video wall of whales and other sealife. Will definitely go again.Food: 5/5

This place was nice. The food was good but the sushi was lacking rice! I would eat here again when I’m in the area to try something different.

No child's menu $26 for a dish with a 6 ounce steak and some veggies or are not a very good cut of steak at that my grandson ordered a dish with fried duck probably about 6 ounces of dock and it was $30. Those prices are ridiculous and they charge extra for a bowl of rice to come with your meal. You would think at $26 and $30 it wouldn't hurt their budget to throw in a cup of rice. Food was OK so sushi was good. because everything else was so expensive. I ordered one seven dollar sushi route for me and two eggrolls for my nine year old but it was enough for us to eat. My total bill was $92 . never again.

The food was great, the atmosphere was wonderful. But the service was HORRIBLE. I didn’t get his name but according to the other employees he just started working there and it was his 4 day working. (For the company/customers wondering who he is). It’s a middle aged men who doesn’t have a whole lot of hair on his head top. When ordering we asked him if there is “Pho” which he replied to that he’ll drive to the nearest market and get it for us. At first we thought it was a joke and asked again and instead of saying ‘YES we have’ or ‘NO we don’t’ he started rudely asking if we know what Pho is even and where it came from. For a person who just started working he shouldn’t have this type of attitude. Mind you we let that slide and just kept ordering. After getting our drinks and it was time to order our food we asked him if it’s possible they can remove the spiciness some dishes like sushi rolls have for the kids. (Mind you some dishes have a red jalapeño picture next to it indicating it’s spicy). But he rudely turned to my kids who are teenagers and said “tell your mother that if there is a red jalapeño sign next to it. It means it’s spicy”. And he kept repeating that over and over when I was just trying to ask if they can take it off from the dish. I am a grown women who has 4 kids and I’ve been to a lot of asian restaurants. Some even though it indicates spicy on some dishes they can take it off if you ask. But AGAIN rather then saying ‘NO we can’t take it off” or ‘YES we can take it off” he just aggressively kept telling my kids to tell me that this sign indicates it’s spicy like I’m d and can’t understand him. He speaks good English and I do too but I admit there is some accents to it but that doesn’t give him the pass to treat me like I’m d and don’t understand anything. I was VERY offended and so were my family. We also encountered other issues but they weren’t that bad compared to this. I am a kind person and understanding and gives a lot of chances before they speak up but this behavior is UNACCEPTABLE. It will NOT profit the business hiring employees that are aggressive, racist, rude and hot headed. We did not have a pleasant experience even though the food was great. The only reason I’m even giving this a star is because of the food.Parking: Since this restaurant is still new in the market. Everyone is visiting it and I would recommend making a reservation before you go. We waited 30 min along with other 4 families that were in line.
