Papayaya in Bromley

Amazing authentic food. Highly recommend.

Have been coming here regularly for the past two years and it is always a pleasure

Very tasty and affordable malaysian food. Plus they don't automatically add a service charge to your bill. To management, please keep it this way!

Yummy food, decent price, decent portions.

I’ve been dying to find some good Pho Bo since moving to the UK 6 years ago and I’m happy to say I’ve finally found my new favourite spot. It’s the only place where I finish my bowl every time, even if I’m already completely full. The broth is skimmed perfectly, it’s full of flavour, and they give you generous portions of meat. Prices are great too

Best Thai takeaway in south london! Always tasty, hot and quick. Tom Yum soup is the best I’ve tasted anywhere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My meal tasted terrible and the customer service was really bad. I had a few spoonfuls and asked if I could possibly swap for something else as it tasted really unpleasant , first I was told the kitchen was now closed (but yet other customers around me still able go out in their order ) and then I was told if I do I will still be charged for another meal I paid and left without eating. Will never go to this place again.

Simple, fast tasty food with friendly staff.

Their menu on deliveroo lists items as not containing Gluten and other allergens when they do infact contain them, Caused a reaction in our household had to call up multiple times just to find out the truth. Not impressed.

Incorrectly labelled foods, i Have Coeliacs disease, things are labelled as Gluten free that arent at all gluten free i wouldnt risk it for nut allergies either.

Food was amazing. Busy restaurant and really good service for a large group that we had...

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. Papayaya's Nasi Goreng is delicious!

Genuinely one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had for a very long time. The customer service was truly shocking. The waitress was trying her best. But the male waiter/manager was honestly dreadful. Customer service and a general level of respect is just not there. It was not busy but we waited 40 minutes for starters, but only got one starter and we had asked them to bring the food together. I approached the bar as my friend’s starter was received but we didn’t have cutlery. The male member of staff, told me I need to wait before I had even asked him a question. After around 1 hour we decided to leave. I informed the male member of staff we were leaving…this was met with ‘ok, bye’. Just rude. No explanation, no food and no apology for the wasted time.

Best southeast Asian restaurant in the area by far. Friendly team and great value for money

This place is quite near to my home so was always on the list. We went for Dinner and ordered their vegetarian snacks platter, chilli Singapore Noodles and Thai Green curry. Everything was perfect to the taste and was also presented properly and served timely. The staff was polite and responsive. The place can be more cosy, but the food was just so perfect. We would surely go back again

Little restaurant not a chain. Basic decor but comfortable. Food is varied and delicious. Also really reasonable prices.

I’m living in different parts of London for 10 years and this is the best Thai restaurant I found so far. And the price is surprisingly cheap in the center location.

Amazing food and amazing service. Pad Kee Mao here is amazing and authentic

The Laksa is excellent. The quality can match up m with the one in Malaysia. Portion is enough for an adult. The staff are warm and sweet. Will surely come back!

I love this place and have been going since it opened some years ago. The food is excellent and the staff so friendly and assertive. Prices very completive too:) Always a joy.

Amazing food and ambience. A great stop when you are craving for Asian cuisine. Their servings are huge, totally worth it. Give them a visit.

Don't be put off by the decor this place is incredible. Basic setting but the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Ribs fell off the bone, gyoza were crispy and delicious, pad Thai is very authentic and the Currys were delicious (if it says it has chilli it means it though!!) Very generous portions, great service. I only wish I lived closer so I could come back more frequently.

Amazing food reasonable price Amazing service

Nice noodle. Visited twice and will come back when I want to try Asian food.

Can’t fault this place. Reasonably priced, lots of choice and friendly service. Food super tasty and well sized.Never been disappointed. Go check it out.

I have spent some time in South East Asia and this food is the real deal. Brilliantly authentic and fresh - the sambal I had was beautiful. The prices are great in today’s day and age - probably fifteen pounds a head for a main and a drink each and an extra side. It looks quite unassuming on the outside but wonders await within

The food is amazing, good portions and good price. The service is 5* Highly recommend it !

I'm a big fan of their pad ki mao. Also the floral teas are really impressive, they blossom to fill up the cup right in front of you.

Tasty food, good service, little pricy. We ate Thai chicken curry, Nasi Goreng (Veg) and Prawn Crackers - Enjoyed overall

Great food, service was fantastic!! We will be going back many times! Saludos de España amigo!!

Stopped by Papaya tonight for a quick bite before the theatre and we were so pleased we did. I chose the Prawn Pad Thai, which was packed with large, juicy prawns, flat rice noodles and veg with crunchy peanuts on the side to scatter over, a very generous portion too. My husband opted for the Pad Kimao Thai with chicken, which was also delicious and quite spicy. The young girl serving us was charming and ensured our food came out quickly as we didn't have a lot of time. I also enjoyed a glass of rose wine with my meal and it came to a very reasonable £22.30! I'm only sorry we didn't have more time to sample some of the other food on offer. We will definitely go back again if we are in Bromley.

Delicious Thai food, after travelling to Thailand many times myself, this is up there with the same taste and quality you would find in the country.

The food is amazingly delicious, and floral tea is just out of the world

Friendly service, food arrived quickly. Salt and pepper squid was a bit of a miss with rubbery squid. The roti with curry sauce was good, as was the prawn kangkung with sambal sauce and pad krapao.

The best Asian restaurant in Bromley! I usually order on just eat, and the food is always great, yummy and hot. Chicken teriyaki recommended and the sesame prawn rolls. Service is excellent and will always help if there's a problem with your order.

The food is really great here and the staff are amazing. I've eaten here around 20 or so times now with multiple groups and it's always been great. I actually really like the atmosphere because it's very unpretentious. If you were to come alone and have social anxiety you'd be ok, come with 8 friends for food and drink no problem - there's seating for all group sizes. Also if your vegan or veggie ask the waiters for options - there's loads, the chef will cook it up for you. Same goes for spice levels. I'd recommend as vegan the cashew stir fry main and crispy tofu as starter. Veggie maybe yaki noodles, spring rolls and definetly roti canai and for meat it has to be the beef rendang spicy with popcorn shrimp starter.

Great food! We had a rendang and the pho! My partner is Malaysian and gave it top marks. A nice surprise

My family has been a regular for well over 6 years now and we visit at least once every 2 weeks. Yet to be disappointed with the food or service. Quality of the food is the same as it was 6 years ago when they started. Stand out dishes - roti canai, Thai green curry and Papayaya fried rice.

Great selection of noodles and rice dishes, friendly service and loads of flavour.

Great Asian street food, very good price and friendly staff. I am in love with Jasmine flower tea.

This place is a hidden gem, great for a quick delicious lunch. Service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. Thank you!

Saw the indication on Google Maps that this is an excellent restaurant, and we were absolutely delighted to discover that it is true, the staff are wonderful and the food that we had was absolutely delicious! Prices a good, we paid £7.70 for a tasty dish as an example.

My first time here but not my last. I had the pork katsu and it was delicious. Next week I’ll try the ribs. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Great food, really friendly staff and reasonably priced! Will definitely go back!

Love it!! Authentic and delicious. Their roti canai is very similar to the one at home (though I wish they served dhal with it). And they also just offer the roti canai which means it's cheaper as compared to eating elsewhere since you're forced to order their curry as well. Soft shell crab also the bomb!! I come here when I miss home.

Delicious food, very reasonably priced

nice little gem on bromley high street. good for a quick sit down lunch or takeaway

Wonderful restaurant. Great value for money and delicious food. Lovely staff

Average food. Worth a visit to try different south East Asian food.

This place has the best food at the best prices. The staff are fantastic I wish I could go every day

Used the delivery service. Took quite a bit longer than advertised but arrived well packed. Two soups were delicious but the mains (pork and duck) were rather bland. For some reason we got 2 extra packs of rice - still they will freeze for another day. Second time we used them, really excellent meal particularly the soup spare ribs and s&s chicken.

I’m from Thailand I love to enjoy eating Asian foods. Today me and my daughter come to shopping in Bromley and we try foods in this place I have to reviews for anyone like to read the reviews before you orders or go eat. Place is clean, staff are very friendly and foods very testy 👍🏼👍🏼 will come back again

This new(ish?) restaurant is a great gastronomic addition to the local area, tasting very authentic and vibrant as the chef is Malaysian and talented. We ordered chicken satay, som yum salad, char kway tiow, hokkien mee, papayaya fried rice and beef rendang... it was all fantastic except too spicy (rendang was 1 chilli but felt like more) and the salad was middling. Lovely flora tea options. Durian ice cream was mediocre. The decor could be more interesting. The service was excellent.

This is excellent food and service. Everything was freshly cooked and the restaurant was clean, light and a pleasant place to eat. There's an upstairs as well. Do yourselves a favour and go. Anyone who has travelled or lived in the Far East will feel at home !

I love this place. I have eaten there on several occasions. The food is varied and tasty. Wonderful service, a good atmosphere. Recommended!

Good food. Can be busy at lunchtime

Great food and service. Love 5heir curries as well as soups ( pho, ramen)

Very flavourful and tasty food. Super friendly staff . We used the room on first floor which gave us sufficient space to celebrate a birthday

Don't think twice. Just arrive here and eat. Great service, reasonable prices and great food!

Tasty Asian food at a really affordable price. No service charge for under 4 people as well and the waiters are very friendly. Our family comes here very often and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

Super friendly staff, great food and a nice place to relax and have a drink too.

Great Asian food, very friendly staff, love supporting local business - regular customer

Fantastic place to eat. The food is fabulous nicely priced and the servers are GREAT.

The Beef Rendang was absolutely delightful and the rest of the food was pretty good, too!

This was our third time here. Don't be fooled by the casual and canteen-like setting of this place, let the food do the talking. Not the most extensive menu but here you get the best of both worlds, Thai and Malaysian, both excellent, while there are many more Thai restaurants in London the same can't be said about Malaysian restaurants. I want to comment that their Char Kway Teo is better than those in Central London. This place is right in the centre of Bromley but yet is like a hidden gem due to its dark glass façade. Definitely recommended.

My favourite place to go for a green curry with rice 🍛🫶 My friend tried chicken and she liked it, as well. I visit this place, at least, once a week. Staff is very polite, welcoming. They serve lovely tea - not only beautiful but tasty!

Food it's always amazing. Lovely staff.

Delicious Don’t be put off by the quiet restaurant, the food is all freshly prepared and absolutely gorgeous, full of flavour and always with fresh ingredients ! My favourite is Nasi Goreng with a fried egg!

Well, decent quick food, standard. For apetitiser it will be a disappointing. No much, no more extra lettuce leaf, just the standard or less on the plate. No big price as well. It's okay for a quickest lunch break, you will pick-up a snack no later after the lunch there. Ha ha.

Authentic roti 👌 Fave best meegoreng in town ♥ Hot Chicken wings

The food was amazing, a good option for Thai food

love the laksa and pad tai there, very very good service, great value lunch menu.

I have been to this eatery many times before for dinner and lunch and I always like it: It is reasonably priced, the food is delicious and its always open when I want to go there. Today I had Thai chilli chicken and my mum had Chicken Cashew (both with rice) and we both had a flowrring tea. Both dishes were so yummy we finished everything (even though there was a lot of food on each plate) and the tea was very good to wash it all down. Will definitely be back again soon.

Very cozy restaurant, very happy / kind staff members and the food is delicious!

The food is absolutely fingerlicious at this restaurant, every time we come we have a great experience. The red curry, the noddles, the Laksa, Nasi Goreng, everything we tried was just cooked to perfection. We are now regulars, we come at least twice a week. Special thanks to the top waiter/ manager, he is just great! Thank you!

food is excellent and very reasonably priced

Good range of seemingly authentic, tasty food. 02 Oct'22 update: No Asian f.o.h. staff today. Waitress was miserable and lacking skills. Food still good though.

A good range of Malaysian and Thai favourites. I am Malaysian and fussy with my food :0) Papayaya is good! My English husband agrees.

Came here with my cousin. We love Thai food and hadn't been here before. Service 5 star and food great. Can thoroughly recommend it. We will be back! Thank you.

Great food, great service and great prices - what more could you want? We’ve eaten here twice now at lunchtime and we love it. We’ll definitely be regulars.

Very nice food... recommended for try the authentic laksa... so nice... and i love it... thanks to the good service and i will back soon to try another authentic food.... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Started off really well with the imo very cheap and fantastic papaya salad….one of the best I’ve had in Uk. Really really good.😍 Went on recommendations here and had the laksa. Tasted nice but the 2 mussels and 3 bits of squid I had I actually spat out as couldn’t eat it. Questioned waiter if was frozen and he confirmed and explained it was too expensive to get fresh seafood. I told him I could literally walk 5 mins and bring him some proper fresh Uk sourced stuff but just got blanked. Highs n lows,I won’t go again personally

This hidden gem not only has amazing food but stunning service. This was our first time eating here and we were pleasantly surprised, everything we ordered came quickly and was delicious!! We had the chicken wings, roti, dumplings and laksa.. great little restaurant with a friendly and efficient manager. Most definitely recommend!

Beautiful experience every time! Consistently tasty!

Absolutely love the pho and the service.

Awesome food and great service, thanks...

Each time I've visited it either was to sweet or to oily which left me with a stomach ache. I would recommend trying this restaurant but be aware you may feel slightly sick.

Lovely gem on the high street. Many dishes to choose from and friendly service from beginning to end.

It is good but is missing on flavour.

Varied menu at reasonable prices. You can get a set lunch for under £9 (without a drink). Service is friendly, accommodating and non intrusive. Decor is okay. Somewhat Spartan but also clean. Don't expect tea or coffee as they only serve herbal teas though. Worthy of a visit

This is such a hidden gem! The food is amazing and affordable too. For anyone who's obsessed with asian food I highly recommend this place. Much better than wagamamas or any big franchise.

We found this restaurant by chance, but we are very glad we did! The food was amazing and possibly the best we have had in a long time. The guy who was working (didn’t get his name) was great and went out of his way to make sure our 4 year old daughter enjoyed the food- he was very accommodating. Thank you very much we will be back when we are back in the area :)

Delicious, best Asian food I've had in years!

We were running late for our reservation and late for the theatre. We rang ahead to ask if we could still be accommodated in time and were assured they would make sure we were okay. We arrived flustered and late and as promised food arrived within ten minutes. It was all delicious and the staff were charming and helpful. We assured them we would be back another time when we had a chance to savour the lovely food

The food I had at papayaya ranks as one of the top dishes I've had in the UK for its authentic flavour. A lot of places tend to water it down but here everything we had was full of flavour in every bite 😁 hidden gem with great staff who can advise well.

Amazing food, amazing quality, amazing service and an amazing price. I’ve been a few times and have never been disappointed with a single dish. I would recommend Papayaya to anyone and everyone.

The best Asian restaurant in Bromley! Very friendly and amazing service from Dennis!

The food was delicious and service very good too. It's a shame that the entrance looks uninviting but having sampled the food twice I will go back again. Authentic food - no frills friendly helpful staff.

The staff was very friendly, the place was clean and our orders was delivered quickly. The food was excellent and delicious too. We had various dishes. We had Thai chicken with chilli oil with rice.we also had Pork and Duck Ramen and it was delicious.
