I’d actually give 3.5 stars, but will round it to 4 for multiple positive sides. The place is really in the city center, resonably accessible on foot and even with your car (we parked close behind it). The staff is very very kind and helpful, although it is half-self-service place where you order at the cashier’s desk, pay, and wait for your food at the table. We had the larger fish (carp) soup which is HUGE and suitable for two people. Nicely seasoned also because of the extra lime and chilly and herbs you get on the side - however, the carp was very dry inside and not as yummy as this fish can be. Rice noodles with shrimps and pork (guangnam style) were very large as well and also came with the herb salad side to make them taste better, but these were desperately under seasoned and lacked anything actually - we took these home and put soy sauce on them because of that. We also had fried spring rolls with meat which were really meaty, and not bad at all. Overall a nice experience from the human point of view, but the tastes fell behind a bit. Still a nice, not totally budget-friendly but authentic-feeling bistro to try (and get large portions).

It is one of my favorites in Bratislava. The quality of the food is good as well as the quantity. You get a half service (you get to order at the cashier but the waiter/waitress will deliver the order). The price of the food ranges from 3-6 euros. It is heavily crowded during lunch time (12-2) mainly the customers are coming from Amazon. Amazon customers get a 10% discount which is a good bargain for customers who go frequently. They also serve juices, beers and soft drinks and they have a selection of juices from Ugo (chain that makes fresh juices). My favorite meal is the chicken rizotto but careful it is a big portion so be sure you are really hungry when ordering this meal. I highly recommend dining there. Below picture is breaded duck breast with thick noodles. (chrunkova kačica z hrubom rezance)

Very good experience. Very tasty food. Very quick service. Very confortable armosphere. Prices are good compared to the quantity în the plate. Very many options for meat for every kind of plate, even for vegetarians. I would come here anytime i am around. I recommend the vermicelli in the first picture, nr 10 în the menu. And also the Pho soup if you like the taste of it. Maybe we prefered Pho more condimented, but it was ok even so

The food was nice but I wouldn’t say authentic. I lived in Hanoi for 2 years and it doesn’t really have the same flavours, though I guess it’s difficult to represent authentic Asian food in Europe. The positives however, the serving size is generous and prices good, staff are very friendly and atmosphere is cafeteria like

Papaya - is perfect place for family! Really, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, wonderful coffee (and really like in Vietnam!) We were in Vietnam 6 year ago, traveled 2 months there. We felt like in Vietnam in this restaurant. The boss of it is nice man. We like him too! And all service is fine!

Nice service and good Vietnamese food! I had the crispy duck which was very flavorful and delicious. The sweet potato noodles were also quite tasty, reminded me of my favorite Korean dish japchae. I wish it was a bit better air conditioned in the building when I was there though.
