"Next, I decided to try a papaya salad to-go, but the papaya was wilted, and the fish sauce was poorly prepared—too salty and unappetizing! I called the restaurant about 8 minutes after tasting it at my hotel, only to be told they were closed. They refused to accept a return because I was supposed to taste the dish at the restaurant before leaving! I've never encountered such a ridiculous policy with any of my takeout orders, and my friends and colleagues agree. I mentioned I could return it not the next day, but the day after. The server agreed to this. However, the next day I was working from 9 to 9, and they were closed. When I finally brought the salad back, the manager insisted she had served me, but I had never seen her before. Plus, she was short, heavily made-up, and on the chubby side, while my actual server was tall, skinny, and without makeup. The manager consulted the owner—an elderly lady—who claimed I had the salad for two days. They KNOW I couldn't return it when I called because they were closed and I had explained my work schedule! The dish came with rice, which I didn't even touch, stating it was too salty, as if they had just poured fish sauce all over it. They told me, "This is our recipe." I have Thai friends and have dined at multiple Thai restaurants worldwide, so I know what an authentic papaya salad should taste like. A skilled chef knows how to prepare it properly. They insisted this was their recipe and that if I didn't like it, too bad. Well, it's a terrible recipe, and good chefs have good recipes. Where is their customer service? Do they even understand what that means? They offered nothing but ridiculous excuses to avoid making things right. I have dined at numerous restaurants globally and throughout the U.S., and this was the worst papaya salad I've ever had, along with the worst customer service. Not only is the restaurant located in a sketchy area and poorly furnished, but the customer service matches its ambiance. If you're looking for good Thai food, DO NOT come here. I won't be returning—this was my first and last visit!"

This is the best Thai cuisine in the area, with an amazing array of spices! I often take it home to Williamsburg instead of dining at local restaurants.

Absolutely fantastic! We ordered the combination fried rice with green curry (with beef), and everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! View menu

This is the best Thai fried rice I've ever had! The staff is very friendly, and while prices have increased, they are still reasonable. I will definitely keep coming back.

This place constantly makes the very best Thai food ever! It's authentic and always fresh.The curries are so creamy and delicious! The pad Thai is the best in Tidewater. I've tried others, and they can't nail it like Thai Papaya. The staff are very friendly too. Overall, food is fresh, beautiful, and delicious!

We started with a Beef Salad to share, but since we didn’t specify that we wanted it as an appetizer, it arrived alongside our main courses. However, our meals were prepared quickly and served hot. I didn’t manage to snap any pictures of the food since we were enjoying each other's company so much, but I did take some after our meal while we were sipping hot tea. My mom ordered the Chicken Red Curry, which she enjoyed with a side of rice. I had a delicious version of Drunken Noodles with chicken, which I had ordered mild. While it was tasty, I could have handled a bit more spice, but that’s just my preference. We also brought home Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice for my husband. I wo...

"Yesterday, my sisters treated me to Brunch for my birthday at Venture, where I had previously eaten at for lunch and had fond memories of (pre-pandemic). Unfortunately, it's changed, and not necessarily for the better in my view. I remember it as being a farm-to-table gem, where you could find innovative and healthy options as a regular thing. Maybe you still can achieve those but just not at Brunch on a Sunday. I first thought I'd get the Cherries Jubilee French Toast; but upon finding out from our server that the cherries were going to be the consistency of cherry pie filling I searched for something I hoped would be healthy. I picked from the regular Brunch menu the King's Plate because I figured the root vegetable hash would offer some tasty and relatively healthy ingredients. The flavors of the root vegetables were sadly overpowered by the excessive garlic in the heavy sausage gravy. The homemade biscuit was a perfect accompaniment, however. It just would've been nice to have some fresh fruit served with it. There was nothing on the regular or particular Sunday Brunch specials menu to recommend it for a 2nd try. I may give regular lunch another try. Or I may go somewhere I'm more confident of getting a healthy, fresh, reasonably priced meal. The service was great, and as always, I tipped our server of her effort, not my satisfaction with the food. There's great potential at Venture, and I always remembered it as being a great destination restaurant- one you'll drive more than the usual miles to get to- but it needs some work to recreate a more universally enticing menu."
