In response to mama kim above… I hadn’t been in a few months and went today to get lemongrass tofu, which was always excellent. But this time it was absolutely bland and the sauce was yellow. I wasn’t even sure I got the right dish but it did look just like the photo above. If it’s new management to blame, that’s too bad because that dish was delicious.

hey there guys -
the husband brought home take out from pho green papaya tonight. he reports that they said they were under ‘new management.’ sorry to report that the food was pretty stunningly mediocre this time. it’s been pretty irregular the past few times we were there. this was probably our last time unless someone can convince me otherwise sometime. so sad.

I LOVE their lemongrass tofu. In fact, I have never tried anything else there because it is so good. The first time I specified medium spicy and it was all but inedible. So now I ask for no spice at all and then add hot sauce myself.

I’ve never had trouble with the waitstaff, but the comment above is scary.

[...] for us vegans. We were excited about trying this location out since we’re big fans of Pho Green Papaya and their long list of actual vegan options. Green Papaya was always overlooked on our lunch walks [...]

I’d tried this place a couple times and was really happy with the “vegan” section of the menu and the location is awesome. Some concerns with the staff have made us cross this one off our list of options though, sadly. Once I ordered a mild spice level and my food arrived way too spicy to eat. Another time, we found a fly in the pho which led to closer inspection which led to the discovery of some strange tiny hair-type thing (I don’t even want to know!). Anyway, in both instances, I would have been put at ease by an apology or even a little sympathy but each time I was told basically, oh too bad about that. No offer was made to replace my dinner or compensate at all ($8 wasted both times). The waiter even questioned me about whether the fly was in the soup when it arrived or had just flown in (it was very dead). We won’t be back.
