Thai Papaya Restaurant — Restaurant in Poquoson

🚨 DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! 🚨

I ordered Panang Curry Shrimp, Ginger Perfect with Shrimp, and Veggie Pad Thai—and I have never been more disgusted by a Thai meal in my life.

The Panang Curry was literally water. Not thick, not creamy—just an oily red liquid with green peppers floating in it. I dipped my spoon in and couldn’t believe my eyes. Absolutely inedible.

The Ginger Shrimp dish had FOUR shrimp in a $17 entrée—practically a scam. And the Pad Thai tasted like lo mein.

I’m visiting from out of town and expected a real Thai meal. Instead, I wasted my money. Tried getting a refund through Uber Eats, no luck. I’m so angry I’m about to cancel my UberONE membership.

Staff came straight to the table and asked for our drink order and continued to address any needs or wants we had. There weren't many we were too busy eating.

Appetizer was the dumplings. I ordered green curry with chicken mild and husband ordered combination fried rice hot.

Dumplings were fresh made. None of that frozen junk. Sitting in a yummy sauce with a sprinkling of crunchy bits.

First time I've had curry that good outside of Thailand. I happily dipped my rice filled spoon in the curry until I ran out of rice. Took the rest home as leftovers. Made some more rice and finished the rest of the amazingness for lunch.

Husband made happy food noises as he ate his rice. He too took leftovers home and had them for lunch.

We both agreed that it was the best Thai food we had eaten in a long time. We can't...
