papaya thai cuisine am boxhagener — Restaurant in Berlin

Food is fine, service is not. We’ve been there a few times and usually it is ok. However this past time I went there with my girlfriend, we were pretty astonished the way one of the waitress talk to us. She came to get our order but my friend was not ready so we wanted a few more minutes. I wanted to order the Thai Milk Tea right then so she can bring it to us while we pick out the dishes. I wasn’t sure why but she rolled her eyes and said ok I know, Thai tea with lemon. I didn’t think much about it because the last couple of time I also just say Thai tea and would be able to get the one I want. She brought it out and it was the tea with lemon and no milk. So I said to her when she came back: hi, actually I wanted to get the one with the milk, is it ok if you put some milk in here for me. She looked at me and said that I ordered this one and if she give me milk I would have diarrhea (because of mixing lemon and milk). She wasn’t screaming or anything but you could sense this passive aggressive attitude in the way she talked. After that we don’t even bother to ask for anything else. At the end, another waitress that come and help us pack up was much nicer. Again, decent...

It is an authentic Thai restaurant where the service is friendly and the atmosphere very nice and welcoming. We liked a lot our starters but I was a bit disappointed by the pad thai that I found a bit blend to my expectations. We also had to pay 3.90 euros each for extra tofu and extra rice which is quite pricy. The pad krapau is suprisingly served without the usual fried egg. The Thai ice teas were really good. We could combine them with coconut milk instead of normal milk with also an extra charge of 1 euro. We tried the banana dessert which was overcooked and floating in way too much coconut milk and not that much rice dessert. It felt quite expensive to pay 7.20 euros for that dessert. At the end, we felt that there were a lot of extras not announced transparently - even for taking away packaging... We still had a very lovely dinner and I will give it another chance for the classic thai dishes...

Food is good, i go often, but i just paid 2,20 for an extra egg on top of a dish called "pad grapau". She said: Do you want the egg? I go there since years, I never heard it. I said yes. She didn't tell me before the cost. And when i was paying and i realized it, she said that everything got more expensive nowadays, and that you have to go to buy the egg to the shop, and also to fry it. ?? That´s why it costs like this.. That explanation was ready, I think I was not the first to complain about this robbery...
