I tend to eat alone, and after seeing the reviews I thought I'd check this place out. When I walked in, it was empty, even if it was a bit awkward, I sat down and ordered a water to drink since I don't drink anything but water. I then overhear the manager look at me and say, "shes making me... More

My wife and I recently had dinner here and we were pleasantly surprised. The dinner menu was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was much nicer than what we expected from its exterior. The wait staff were friendly and the owner even came to make sure everything was fine. Both entrees were extremely tasty. We will be eating here again! More

We were in Corpus Christi visiting family. I am notoriously picking, esp when it comes to Asian food. And service at family restaurants tends to irritate me; not endear me. So it was a Very Pleasant surprise to discover the Green Papaya. I have never had such wonderful Asian cuisine outside of NYC. We ate there twice daily for three... More

We went there and were thoroughly disappointed. The curry was watery and other than the hot peppers had no taste at all. We had lime beef and it too was watery and tasteless. The service was barely passable and to top it off it was quite expensive. Thai Cottage is about three times as good and a much better value.... More

Went during lunch. Service was quick and polite. 1/2 full at noon with what sounded as regulars. I had the curried chicken per host's recommendation. Yellow curry, slightly sweet with a gentle kick of spice. Not really heat, just enough to make my nose sniffle. Couple next to me had fried broccoli which must be a house favorite. Overall: very...

Many excellent choices. Subtle flavors with some, more traditional with other. Fish dishes, especially whatever is on the blackboard, are beautifully prepared, and tasty. Hot Pot is one of my favorites (level 4 hot!). More

This was our second visit to Green Papaya and it was even better than our first. The ambiance is simple, but serene and the food is stellar. We both had the curry platter; the spices were subtle, but strong. Afterwards we were left with warm internal glows. The place is unpretentious; the staff are genuinely friendly. It's about as good... More

If you get to Corpus Christi and you want to try something different, I recommend this. This is a deep fried broccolli dish that everyone at the table loved! You dip the broccolli in nuoc mam. Since we returned to Houston I searched on the web and only found it in Vietnam under images. The restaurant was pleasant, easy to... More
