Green Papaya - Ottawa

This restaurant is the first Thai restaurant that I know that has lunch buffet which is very convenient if you want quick lunch during lunch hours. However, considering the price, there are not a lot of variety of options for Thai dishes which is disappointing. Certain dishes seemed like it was sitting in the tray for awhile and was not always replenished and cooked freshly every often. Spring rolls were fried freshly. However, some dishes did not always taste authentic and fresh. There were 2 different types of curry one with pork and chicken. Two stir fried dishes, one vegetarian and one chicken stir fry with basil. Pad thai with no meat or shrimp, but the good flavour. Delicious mango salad for appetizer. For the price we paid, a little bit more variety would have been nice.

We were a group of ten women who had lunch at The Green Papaya. At best, the food was average. Service was fine. The room we were in was heated with portable heaters which worked but I was concerned about the safety of using them. Parking was good on one side of the building but the larger lot was very icy as were the walkways.It is unlikely I would return to this restaurant.

The heat is not working at the Baseline Road location and has not been working for over three weeks according to the staff who were wearing extra clothing. We kept our coats on for our meal. We were looking forward to the lunch buffet but it was lunch menu only on the day we were there. The food was just OK green curry chicken, pad thai, soups and spring rolls were ordered by our group of six and we all agreed the Queen Street and Preston locations served much better food!

We love this spot for having lunch during the week. Unfortunately, no buffet on the day we were there but I had the combo plate and it was excellent!

A meal for two cost over $50 for take out and was terrible. I am of Chinese decent and really wanted to eat THAI FOOD. This is not representative of anything remotely Thai right down to the vegetables that were used. Super disappointing and now have to go back out and get supper elsewhere.
