Stopped by early evening, we were the only ones in the restaurant. After seating us the service was quite slow, then to place our order we finally had to call the hostess who appeared to be taking to her friends on the phone. This was the second time I have been to this restaurant and the service is consistently slow... More

We are from out of town and staying near here. My husband searched for highly rated restaurants nearby and we ended up at Green Papaya. It is Monday night which is the only explanation for why this place isn't packed. It is beautiful and the food is excellent! We were going to get Amazing Curry based on reviews but the... More

So we're local to this restaurant and have never gone in. The main reason is that it's hard to see what it's like inside without venturing in. But fortune favored the brave the other night... I stepped in to get a take-out menu and was greeted pleasantly by a hostess. Inside the modern furniture was well spaced and although a... More

The Thai food is excellent, especially the coconut soup. Needs some crunch things on the table for the soup and would suggest additional Thai spice sauces/mixes for those who want to really experience "Thai Hot." Waitress was good, but spoke little English. More

Overall I think the restaurant is just average. The golden curry was pretty good, but light on the spices. The crab ragoons were tasty but the smallest I have ever seen. The spring rolls were definitely subpar. For the quality the restaurant is slightly overpriced. More

The food was quite exceptional - very fresh, wonderfully seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The delicate flowers made from carrots and fresh beet garnishes added to the presentation. The atmosphere was upscale with waterfalls and metal wall sculptures, but the prices were very moderate especially considering the quality of the dishes and variety of menu choices. More

This is one of our favorite local places. It has artful modern decor, elegant, attentive service and outstanding food. Both Thai and Chinese food is served. I especially enjoy the lamb and duck dishes, but most often enjoy the mussaman curry and the panang curry with shrimp. More

Our family is always on the lookout for great restaurants. We found this favorite tucked in at the back of Rivercity Market Place. The restaurant faces Hollywood Theaters, between Lowes and Olive Garden, on the strip. Don't let the location fool you. The Green Papaya serves the best Thai/Asian dishes in Jacksonville. The waitstaff is attentive and helpful. The decor... More

Not the easiest place to find, but if you are anywhere near the airport you MUST head over to the River City Marketplace and try the Green Papaya! Yes, you must go past the Wal Mart, and half-dozen chain restaurants to find this place, but you will not be sorry. Once inside you forget where you are - great atmosphere,... More

This is one of our top 3 Thai restaurants in Jacksonville. I have probably been here five or six times with different groups of family and friends, and have never been disappointed. The decor and presentation is beautiful. The prices are average for a Thai restaurant.My favorite is the chicken pad Thai, but I have tried several things there and... More
