Reviews of Dave's Green Papaya (Restaurant)

Sarah Billard

Was overpriced for small portions. Service was ok. Bathroom was not clean.

Helena Cheu

The food is delicious and the servers are delightful! I definitely recommend the fried banana ice cream.

Mwaura K

Great food, good price, friendly staff

Maggie Daniel

Hands down some of the best Thai food around. Very friendly staff and a warm environment. The menu provides a good range of choice and each dish I've had has always been spectacular. The Pad Thai and General Tao are two of my favorites.

Meaghan MacKenzie

One of the better places to eat in North Bay. The food is consistent and the staff have always been polite. The food is always ready at pick up time. It’s a bit pricey compared to places in other cities but I’ll pay it because it’s the only option in North Bay!

Gil Renaud

Great food

The food is very good, but the service was not very good at all. Went on a sunday night with a group of 6, and had a beer before my meal came. My glass was empty as was my water while I watched the waitress standing at the bar area staring off into space, or wandering back and forth to the other table (there were only three tables occupied at the time), one other group of 5 and a table of 2. The server mixed up our orders, served a completely wrong order, and when it was brought to her attention asked "do you want to just have that anyway?" and then plain forgot to serve included rice with one of the dishes. I'm being kind giving 3 stars due to the terrible service.

Joyce Effinger

Just had an early dinner at Dave's. The food was very good, we had spring rolls, followed by soups ( I particularly like the hot and sour my husband ordered). My husband had Pad Thai, and I had the Tri Mushroom dish. Portions are generous enough we will be having the same for lunch tomorrow! Friendly staff and good service. The price was very reasonable. The only negative, in an almost empty restaurant, why place people right by the bar where they get to hear all the conversations from the staff. Not that some of the conversation was not interesting :)

Mark Josefowich

We had an excellent meal prepared for us. Very good any plenty of food for our group of 5. The hostess was very friendly and made sure our meal was just right.

Jared Grant

Great Pad Thai!

Patrizia Pace

Amazing food and service too

Sarah Wright

Pad thai sucks. Noodles overcooked, chicken had burnt spots, scrambled egg was chewy and came in large chunks. Spring rolls had chewy meat in them, not appetizing. No free refill on pop ( wasn't told). Best part of meal was the fortune cookie.

Chris Bethune

Great service and good food.

Gary Galan

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in North Bay. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we have had in a while. PAD THAI! AMAZING.

Robert Thoms

I really enjoy Asian food. Everyone time I go there I have thoroughly enjoyed my meal. As far as the price goes I think for the quality of food, the price is reasonable. This restaurant is a must try. Rob

There are two Thai restaurant in North Bay, and this one is the worse of the two and just as expensive. The curry is terrible. Unless you like frozen vegetables thrown into a bottle of sauce with too much cornstarch to congeal it and over cooked rice. The radio is played loud enough to drown out conversation, they burn a lot of scented candles to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke. Our waitress wiped her nose with her thumb and finger multiple times while handling our food.

Alexander McKenna

Really, really good chicken balls. Chinese food typically isn't my go to food ... Ever. So for me to say that this food is good is an impressive feat. So if you looking for the best rolls and balls this is your place.

Michael “Whyt Mic” Brodeur

Great food great service

Joe Mak

Upscale Chinese and Thai.

Lucas Berger

I live 6 hours away and haven't lived in North Bay for years but this place is just as I remember it and the food is still great. Same owners and same amazing taste and quality of food

TeejayTDI

Friendly staff and really good food. We started with egg rolls and some very hot (temperature not spice) wonton soup, then shared the Mango Tango chicken, which was pretty sweet, the people I went with can't have much spice, so it was mild. I think the full spice would have drawn away from the sweetness some. The Chow Mein was excellent, as was the beef fried rice. The beef broccoli stir fry was very rich and flavourful. All in all a great experience.

Cindy S

Great food

Aaron Kuchma

The best General Tao I've ever tasted. In fact, the best Asian cuisine I've had hands down. I wish Sudbury had carefully prepared food like this. A must try, even if its a bit more expensive than the other places in North Bay.

Victoria

The best pad Thai outside of the GTA! Not too sweet.

David Luke

Great food, great service, cozy atmosphere.

Krista G.

A business that has been around for a long time. Food that is consistent and always fresh. Wonderful Place and folks at Dave's Green Papaya.

Florabelle Rosario

Pretty horrible thai food. If I could give them less stars, I would. Reccomend My Thai Palace instead. The pad thai was so american-ized, might as well have had bbq sauce on it. The green curry tasted like creme of broccoli soup. Not worth the $$.

Charlotte Love

The food & service is excellent! It's always a pleasure to eat at Dave's Green Papaya.

Kevin Kasch

Love Daves it the best...

Sheila Carruthers

I am never disappointed with either the General Tao or the Pad Thai! Great service and atmosphere.

Bailey Jones

The pad thai is un real!! the coconut shrimp is wonderful as well. Staff is lovely and the atmosphere is great. Such an amazing addition to north bay!

Gwen Bradley

Delicious food and friendly staff

Aila Blais

Amazing service and food! Always delicious! I recommend: Pad Thai Thai green curry with shrimp Coconut shrimp

FIGHT MY ARM

Not your typical Chinese food, this place is high end. Love it !

Kirsten Audette

They food is always fantastic, the staff are friendly and approachable. My favourite dishes are beef Shanghai Noodles, General Tao's chicken, Korean BBQ Beef, and Spring Rolls. The portion sizes are enough to share with several people.

Maïa Natale

It took us over 1 and a half hours to get our food after ordering. Our waiter was nice but the wait was extremely long. The food was good but not worth the wait.

Debbey Bentley

Delicious & Excellent service!!!

Thomas Hayek

Very good green curry, balanced spice preserving the essential flavours. Cold rolls are great as well, overall nice experience.

Tim Crouch

Great food and service

David Lee

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and friendly service. A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.

dallas georgie

can't say enough good things about this place - the food is great.

Tracy Farquhar

Nice atmosphere, excellent food! They usually have a nice Bento Box lunch special. My other favourites: the Pho soup, Thai Green Curry and The General Tao Chicken!

Ross A

A bit tight in there. Food is good.

D&S McC

Had the Tom Tom soup, waitress placed my soup on table and I noticed a hair. She told me it was probably lemon grass. It was a hair, then I'm told that it could be my hair or hers, did I want a new soup! The bowl was just placed in front of me, don't think my hair had time to even hit the bowl if it was mine. I was given a new bowl, the soup was good. But the "hairgate" definitely left but a bad taste in my mouth.

Andrew Epps

If you want your Pad Thai to taste great, your in the wrong place. The dish was incredibly "americanized". All the flavours were off and the food was very salty. My Thai Palace on main street is way better.

Fintan Flynn

The food is amazing!!

Gordon L

Great place, great food

Brian MacAskill

Extraordinarily good food and nice ambience.The best Thai I've had in a long time, and I've been around! Six stars for being in North Bay, seven for being so friendly.

Fatima Pannu

Good food and great service

Erin Terry

Okay little spot for and some Asian influence food. Most items hit the mark however a few do fall short. I tried the pho which is new on their menu and it was not what I was expecting. Soggy noodles overcook beef and salty broth is not what pho is

Mark Boller

Very good food good location. Pricey but worth it for a good treat

Janet Ireland

Love the food!! Great service..

Deborah Scherba

This us to be a great place and the last 3 times we've ordered take out it has clearly gone down hill. New cook? Very cheap with the ingredients as opposed to a year ago. Not to mention that they ALWAYS forget something (tonight it was the sweet and sour sauce) when taking out, it's almost comical. Will not order from there again.

mirrbot

Food was absolutely delicious! The coconut shrimp appetizer is phenomenal, so is the chow mein. Do not skip the dessert! The mango one is UNREAL!

Angela Jiang

I reviewed Dave's Green Papaya on TripAdvisor and apparently if you leave a honest review, someone will go out of their way, create a fake account and attack you online. Why would anyone defend this restaurant unless the cyber attack is associated with the owner? Very unprofessional and not appealing to any customers. I was planning on going to this place again but I will not visit knowing I would get bullied.

Adam Giroux

Some of the best damn Chinese cuisine you ever shoved in your face.

Karen Dietrich

Delicious food & excellent service. My favorite Thai place! I've been going for years & I'm never disappointed.

Andrew Mcluvin

Kinda expensive for both the quality and quantity. I thought it was better at the old location. I wont be returning.

Owen Rigg

Great food....staff was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Parth Dholakia

Best Asian restaurant in North Bay. Food was full of flavor and loved the many vegetarian options.

Terry Smedes

Enjoyed the food. The staff were friendly. If I am in town I will come again.

Jacquelyne Forgette

I always get the bento box which is great. It's a nice place. We always call and order ahead of time because of the limited number of time to have lunch during work hours. They are very nice and always have our food prepared on time.

Natanael Santana

nice place

Shawn Page

The owner is phenomenal and remembers everyone's name! The food is always great!

Simon Foster

Great Thai food, our go-to spot! Usually fairly busy, call ahead for reservations.

Ronald J Smith

The egg rolls were overly sweet with cabbage, normal egg rolls have bean sprouts and 5 spice and are much better. The overall taste of the rest of the meal was tasteless.

Jenn V

This is my favorite place to order Chinese food in North Bay. Always fresh and large portions. Inside the restaurant is very classy yet casual. Priced just right you won't be disappointed.

Ajax Holliss

Delicious!

Lenka Eberhardt

Simone and Dave are amazing hosts and the food is authentic, delicious, and prepared as you like it. If you have a special request they will accommodate. Our go to for Thai cuisine in North Bay

ooo P

As an Asian, I don’t think their food is authentic. Not even close.

don Brough

Great food and service

Leo Vaserbakh

Excellent food made with integrity. Try the general tao chicken!

Ron Parisien

Food was great...just wish that the staff wouldn't yell to the guest walking in if they had a reservation or not...but the food is great.

Robert Butson

Walked in without reservations and was seated immediately. Food was quick and prepared exceptionally well. The service and atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Would highly recommend eating here.

Jay Wong

Very friendly staff make for a nice experience

Mark C

Dave's Green in North Bay is one of the best thai food place I've been to in a long time. The classic Pad thai, which included chicken and shrimp was spot on. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items. The multiple awards hung on the wall are no surprise after you taste the food. I will return and suggest you do the same.

Alicia Mangar

Food is fabulous!!

Shawn Prevost

Food is always hot and delicious. Owners are very friendly and make sure you are satisfied with your order. It is always great to look forward to a treat every once in a while. Thank you for the great service.

Cynthia Robinson

Freindly atmosphere. Great service. :)

Brian LeBlanc

Always good

Dolly Ross

Beryl Nickle

Just had a wonderful lunch here. Friendly promp service with delicious fresh food.

vicky Moreton

Dave’s Green Papaya is s cozy restaurant featuring fabulous Oriental and Tai food. Simone will greet you with a smile and warmly welcome you. All the staff are amazing and the food will excite your palate. Best tempura I have ever had, pad tai awesome and authentic, curry choices excellent, best General Tao on the planet. Lunch specials can’t be beat!! The prices are not cheap but neither are the portions. You get value for your money and the quality well worth the price. Best restaurant in North Bay!!

Suzanne Rice

The last time I was here the coconut soup was so spicy I was litterally choking. I had to take my glass to the waitress to get more water while choking and eyes tearing! The owner refused to make another soup. I'd had this soup several times before with no issue. Over the years the quality and portion sizes have slipped while the prices inflate. It's really a shame because Green Papaya used to be my favorite asian. I've also had issues with takeout.

Brad Carriere

Dave's Green Papaya is a fantastic restaurant although my review is for eat in only as I've never tried their take out menu. I always get the hot & sour soup and the general tao. Great place to bring a group of poeple as each dish is pretty much monotonous flavor so sharing is best. The menu is 99% great, only thing I dont like is the Mongolian beef, it's was fatty and odd in texture.

Jean Vincent Duchesne

Dont think twice, this is good. Beef pad thai, red cury and green cury was excellent!

alfrdo hidalgo

Good atmosphere. Good service, good food.

Dominik Rogowski

Great food !!! Very friendly service!!! Definitely coming back!!! Highly recommended!!!

Kevin Smith

Very good food and service.

Dan B

Wrong place to get pad thai for sure.

Chris Chartrand

Always great food from Dave's Green Papaya. The best place to get Pad Thai in North Bay!

john taylor

Amazing flavor and good service

Cheryl Stevenson

Prices have gone up, the food is very good. Mango Tango chicken is one of my favs GOOD ingredients, quality is there, family owned local restaurant with staying power

Laurie Larivee

THE BEST THAI FOOD , BAR NONE FANTASTIC SERVICE OWNERS FRIENDLY & AWESOME

Steven Hume

Portion sizes have been getting smaller, unfortunately the prices haven't. We have moved on to another place

king steveno

Food is always pretty good, but I really like how they give you enough food to feed 3 people and call it combo for one. Makes me feel like less of a fatty when I eat it all. Thanks!

LolaMac

takeout portion of General Tao not a full size (often hit&miss on takeout), & not as good as usual. tango mango was dry and not the usual, more filler veggies....somewhat disappointed. usually my favorite restaurant for takeout, but the inconsisteny in portion size is starting to affect that.

Harry Budden

Always a treat - that hidden gem that is the Green Papaya

Tina Norwick

It was awful the egg rolls tasted like they were sour and when you opened it up it was all black and looked rotten. The chicken balls were so hard it was like they were a few days old, and the rice was so clumpy no way it was fresh.

mary Willard

Dave's Green Papaya never ever disappoints. Bento box at lunch is amazing and the General Tao Chicken is amazing! Great atmosphere. Check it out!

Michael Widdop

Very good dishes and service is excellent

Aili Maki

Delicious food,good service, vegetarian options.

Meghan Kapellas

Took my sister and her husband here last Sunday and we all LOVED it. We had the most friendly server and even though we showed up at 730 (they close st 830) they happily sat us and gave us ample time to decide what to order. Server offered helpful suggestions. Food was quick to come out and DELICIOUS. Also the portions are super generous, I ate 2 leftover meals from my food!

Danielle Simon-Newton

They are never available during business hours. This is the 4th time I have called and was told there kitchen is closed during there specified hours of operations. Change your specified hours to accommodate your kitchen close down time!!!!

Maggie Callaghan

Excellent food, warm tone environment. Prices is expensive but this is a great place to go to eat amazing food and go to if you have the extra money to treat your loved one. I hope to go there again it's been 3 years since I been there.

Darcie Gignac

awesome

Jeremy Girard

Good food... Pricey.

Abbie Ellis

Shrimp Singapore nearly 20 bucks, overcooked noodles. Ginger chicken watered down coconut milk, chicken broth like soup. Burnt coconut on coconut shrimp, sauce was way too sweet. The only thing I liked was the Korean beef cucumber mango salad. We haven't ordered from here in a long time, don't plan on doing it again anytime. Thanks, but no thanks.

GAJ Turk

Rude and behaving like they are doing the customer a favor by blessing them with their food. It was also cold because they prepare it too far in advance.

Summer Freeman

The food is fantastic.. Cant get enough.

Alexis Maddaloni

Excellent food, good service. We started with the chicken satay which was fresh and came with very tasty peanut sauce. For mains we shared the classic chow main, beef red curry, pad thai and spicy basil stir fry with eggplant and chicken. Everything was very good. It took a little bit to get our mains but the wait was worth it. We would come back.

Tim Lacelle

Great atmosphere and food was awesome

Julie Charette

This used to be our go to for a night off from cooking. The let down with our food tonight was so bad we will not be ordering from here again. Absolutely awful. It's actually difficult to believe it came from Green Papaya!

J. Richards

Rating for dine-in experience only. Went twice and loved it.

Zaccharie Fiorino

Boom

Carol Conrad

Best Tai food.

Jeff B

Amazing food and an amazing woman serving. Thank you!

Jason Hanna

I went to Dave Green Papaya for dinner with a friend. The food was very tasty and the portions were the perfect size. Our server Maddy was very nice in explaining some of the dishes in more detail as well as topping our water and tea the whole night. In addition the owner came by to make sure the food was good. It’s a nice little restaurant that’s very reasonably priced, I highly recommend you try it out.

Mj B

Excellent

Brian Joiner

Service was awesome food was great as usual.

Hank Ban

Overrated and expensive. General Tao has too much breading and not enough meat. Korean beef has a tasty sauce but overdone. Waited too long for pickup. They seem to have a limit on how many orders they take in a day.

Katie Calcaterra

Authentic, delicious thai food. Best spring roles around. Enjoyed the green curry beef, Pad Thai, and the general thao which is not your every day general thao. Delicate species and lightly breaded (not deep fried) so delicious.

Ma Wero

The food was decent (although over priced and nothing to write home about) but the server or owner tried to charge us for a glass of wine we didn't order. When he brought the bill he just laid the little black folder closed in front of us and verbally told me the total. I checked the bill before paying and saw the extra charge. It's not like it was a busy night for it to be an honest mistake. The table next to us had an issue with their bill too. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BILL BEFORE PAYING HERE!

Jordan Roberts

Very good food if you're looking for a little more in depth Chinese rather than just chicken balls and egg rolls

Jennifer MacKay

Friendly, nice atmosphere, good pad thai and green curry

Don Parsons

Very nice lunch...the Pho was super

Richard Amyotte

Cosy, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They help you if you don't know what to order. Excellent food. Reasonable price.

Julius Buck

Really great food! I've been there for lunch on several occasions now. Great diversity in the menu for a price that cant be argued with. Cooks do a great job everytime and the waiting staff is super accommodating.

Trevor Oliver

Good food , good service

Alisha Martin

Awesome Food, great service and nice atmosphere ????

Rob Wright

Turn the heat up, 66 Fahrenheit is not a comfortable temp.

Dawn Butler

My husband and I went to the Green Papaya today for the first time and we were not disappointed. Simone, our waitress was friendly and accommodating. Our food was freshly cooked to perfection. The shrimp was generous and the batter was very crispy. The Cantonese Chow Mein was to die for. We will definitely be going back.

Birkan

I had mixed feelings about this place before I ordered but yet again I was fooled by the google reviews. Take this review as an honest one because it’s going to be my first bad review about a restaurant.

Jo-Anne Hurd

Amazing fresh food and great service!

Daniel Stepanov

Place is gross. I don't understand how it has a such high rating. No care for food quality. The fried rice was way over cooked that was such a tasteless unseasoned mush. The meat quality is very poor. Whats even more upsetting is the prices. Do your self a favour or you'll remember my review after you yak.

Jessica Love

Awesome curries !

Jackie Carroll

A little expensive.
