What to order: The Original Combo · PapayaFrom Google Maps reviews.
Good value. We ordered the papaya king special - 2 hot dogs and a drink for $9.99. Definitely get the papaya drink, it was great. Not much of an atmosphere but probably more of a takeaway place. If you’re in the area and after a quick and cheap bite to eat it’s a good option.
the hotdogs were not bad. they had their own peculiar taste. the frank is the slim kind and not the ballpark style that you get at other places. their Papaya drink was definitely better than the other Papaya spots around Manhattan as i read online. I'd definitely visit again to try some more of their menu.
Got the holiday special: 2 hot dogs (I got one topped with mustard and sauerkraut and the other with onions) and the signature papaya juice for $10 total. They accept credit cards and tap to pay. They have about half a dozen tables to stand at (no chairs which is fine since its fast food). Quality food and service was as expected.
