Papaya Kitchen is reviving the commitment to authentic Vietnamese food, but with a to-go twist.
The original owner, Alan Mai, is once again at the helm. Mai retired after the closure of the original Green Papaya but, according to a press release, “continued to feel his heart yearning for the aroma of the original Green Papaya kitchen.” The yearning was apparently mutual, as former customers often implored him to reopen the restaurant.Papaya Kitchen general manager Alex Huynh and owner Alan Mai are bringing back many of the recipes from the beloved Green Papaya.
“I’ve been missing them since they closed five years ago,” writes one Yelp user. “It’s back and better than ever!”Papaya Kitchen sets itself apart from its predecessor in its size and service model, focusing more on to-go orders and less on the traditional dine-in experience.
