Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Papaya Restaurant in Saigon exceeded all my expectations and quickly became one of my favorite dining experiences in Vietnam. From the moment I walked in, the cozy and welcoming ambiance set the tone for an incredible meal.
The menu offers a delightful mix of traditional Vietnamese flavors with a modern twist. Every dish I tried was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic taste. The portions were generous, and the use of fresh, local ingredients was evident in every bite.
The service was equally impressive. The staff were warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations, which truly enhanced the overall experience. Their knowledge of the menu and enthusiasm for Vietnamese cuisine made me feel like I was dining among friends.
The atmosphere of Papaya is intimate yet lively, making it an ideal spot for both a relaxed meal and a special occasion. Despite its high quality, the prices were very reasonable, offering exceptional value for money.
If you're in Saigon and looking for a restaurant that captures the heart and soul of Vietnamese cuisine while offering a memorable dining experience, Papaya is an absolute must-visit. I can't wait to return!

I had an incredible experience at "Papaya Papa"! The atmosphere was vibrant with a great mix of music that kept us dancing and enjoying the evening. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to please all palates. The drinks were also great, with a good selection of cocktails and other beverages. My friends and I had a fantastic time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out with great food, drinks and music!

Papaya Papa is a must visit rooftop bar in Saigon. The food offers unique flavours that can be found in no other restaurants of Ho Chi Minh city. The atmosphere is perfect with great lighting and vibe setting music. The staff is super friendly while the stunning rooftop view rounds off an all around fantastic experience for each guest.

This is a beautiful rooftop place. The ambiance is ideal for a romantic dinner on weekdays and they have great parties on the weekends. I have been here a few times. The food is great. I love their gnocchi it is a must try. The hummus and lamb is a great dish too and so is the octopus and the French toast dessert with ice cream. The partys are lit with a lot of good crowd. Its a great place to meet new people it has a lot of expat crowd. I highly recommend this place.

The best meal we've had in all our overseas travels. The entire meal was a delight and it's difficult to single out a dish, but, if we had to it would be the lamb..the taste and texture was incredible. Our waitor, Phat, was attentative & knowledgable. Chef Guillaume is clearly passionate & was so happy to give us his time explaining the dishes. Such a pleasure to meet a chef driven by palate and not fads! Would highly reccomend Papaya Papa. The ambiance, food and staff were outstanding. Thank you for a memorable experience.

The food is great, you can tell thoughts are put behind in the making, I really recommend going there to have dinner if you want to eat something different ! The view is very nice as well and it’s a great spot to continue your night and party!!! There is a « dress code » as you dress properly. Service is really good too, we never lacked anything and people are really nice.
