Blue Papaya

1000 yen for an authentic thai lunch including salad, soup, drink and dessert! Can’t beat that in Tokyo! Choice of pad thai, massaman curry, green chicken curry and other entrees. Restaurant is very clean, staff are Thai and speak a bit of English.

I stopped in here last night to shake off the disappointment from my brunch adventure over at Nico Five earlier in the day.
Blue Papaya serves a top quality, fragrant and tasty chicken basil dish, topped with a crispy egg. I also ordered the wok-​fried fish as an appetizer and was pleasantly surprised.
Just to confirm my suspicions that Blue Papaya is a place worth frequenting in Azabu Juban, I stopped in after work tonight and ordered a sliced pork dish that I am pleased to report was tender, juicy and delicious.
Blue Papaya seems to be a small but growing chain in Tokyo, and the Azabu Juban outlet has only been open since Dec 1.
The staff are Japanese-​speaking Thai.
My main problem with Thai food has long been that I can never remember what it was I ate the last time I ordered, so the fact that they have an English/​Japanese menu with pictures is extremely helpful.
If you simply point and offer a sheepish smile, the staff will figure out what you want, and it will probably taste good.
They are currently offering 10% off dinner coupons on return business. I forgot the one they gave me last night so I had to pay full price. :(
This will be my «go-​to» place for a Thai meal when I am in the Juban area, and I suggest you give it a try too.
