My favorite restaurant

This place is amazing and so vegan-friendly (with vegan chicken on the menu that you can order with any dish). They're very open to substitutions and answering questions. Food is always good. Their flavored tea bubble tea is dairy free!

Family staple!

I love this place! It is one of my staple local places. The food is delish and the staff is always amazing and sweet. I order the Drunken Noodles with veggies, NO eggs, and NO fish sauce to make it vegan. It's my favorite.

amazing

I have never been here before but it was recommended on Happy cow. Great vegan options, amazing taste, friendly service and quaint/cute place. Would recommend it to a fellow vegan ! They make everything so they cater to change their meals to fit the dietary needs of the client. Double thumbs up.

Amazing food.

I ordered take out from here for the first time. I got Pad Thai (switched the tofu for the vegan chicken) along with veggie rolls and wow was it amazing. The Pad Thai was delicious and so filling! I wasn't expecting it to be so much food. But I'm happy it was because I good leftovers from it. I will definitely try out more food from here.

Pros: You can easily swap foods to make it vegan, delici

Amazing Curry

What a great find! I was in the area for work and decided to stop in for their red curry I saw listed online (since I'm a curry fanatic). I recently became a vegetarian but prefer curries to be vegan (no fish sauce) and they gladly accommodated. The service was perfect - not too overbearing but checked in at the right times. I wish I lived around here because I could eat their curry every day! Also was pleasantly surprised that brown rice was an option and not at an additional cost. I'll be back if I'm ever driving through again!!

Pros: Ability to accommodate vegan diet, friendly servic

surprisingly good!

I must say I've lived in the area and never been here, so I wasn't expecting too much. The food was great, service too, and there were so many vegan options. The curry was great. I'm planning my next visit so I can try more. Oh, and the only vegan option in the dishes is the chicken because the tofu has egg.

Yummy & Super Veg Friendly

Took my husband to Green Papaya because of Sally's review. It was so delicious, extremely fresh and they were very vegan-friendly. They even knew to tell us about the egg in the tofu! If we lived near by, we'd be regulars. The papaya salad and Tom Yom soup were especially terrific.

Pros: Great Food, Excellent Service, Low-key decor

Cons: Bathroom area could be cleaner

Outstanding homemade tofu

This restaurant is one of Bergen County's best kept secrets. It is a small house-like building amonst business buildings on the edge of Hackensack. Green Papaya has a charming wait staff, and the "sizzling platters" such as the Sizzling Homade Tofu platter are really delicious. The tofu is like firm custard, and is wonderful. The other vegetarian options always include crisp fresh vegetables.
Sometimes at lunch it can get crowded, and it is closed on Tuesday. I highly recommend trying it...you'll get hooked like we did.

Pros: Homemade Tofu!, Delicious coconut sauces, Many veggie options

Cons: closed on Tuesday, lunches can get crowded
