Papaya Thai Eatery & Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

I've been a regular at this restaurant for over three years, visiting at least three times a month. The food has always been excellent, but lately, the portions have shrunk while the prices have gone up, which I understand given the current circumstances.

However, my last experience was just unacceptable. I ordered a massaman curry for takeaway and received half a portion of a take away box, no rice, and barely 10 grams of meat for $23. I returned to the restaurant to check the in-house portion, and it didn't even cover a fifth of the plate.

Food was ok. If it was up to me they would get half a start not just...

Flavoursome dinner, quick service and decent dessert. I ordered the beef noodles soup and there was more beef than what appeared to be. The lady who handed me the menu was a sulky young woman with false eyelashes (which made her eyes seem even smaller) - hence, the 4 stars. The waitress who served the food actually smiled, so this changed the ambience. Hey, we all have different personalities, but give 100 per cent (and it was only 1700 hours / 5pm). I took home a date pudding, and I could actually taste the date. Not much sugar in it all, which was good. Seriously - I know restaurants which would charge 12 dollars for that dish. It was just 7...
