"My husband and i stopped in here 8/1 and received the most horrible service. We didn 't even stay and eat. My husband walked in and waited for 5 mins to be seated. While the hostess was kind and bubbly to everyone else, she was very short and brisk with my husband. We sat down and weren 't even given any service or greeted by any staff for 7 mins! While everyone else was receiving service and carry out was also getting service. It wasn 't busy, maybe 5 tables in the entire restaurant. When i approached a female server about receiving service she said 'I 'll send someone over there soon '. Then she proceeded to yell in Chinese about us as patrons... my husband is Chinese and i think they assumed he didn 't speak Chinese , but he does, what they had to say about us in Chinese wasn 't kind. When the waitress finally did come over, she walked up and said 'what do you want? ' And when my husband mentioned he didn 't appreciate her tone and walking up and stating 'what do you want ' is rude... the waitress stated she didn 't say that, she asked 'how are we doing ' ... SHE BLATANTLY LIED AND CALLED US LIARSMy husband and i have frequented this restaurant for years. Often we use their carry out because we have a small child. This was the first evening in 5 months we had a chance to have a date and we chose to come to Green Papaya, only to be spoken about derogatorily in Chinese and then to be gas lighted and lied to, never once receiving even water at our table after being the only table sat in a 20 min period. Not only was I shocked about how we were treated and spoken about, but i was so disappointed to know i can never visit this establishment again. And i hope that the reason we were treated that way isn 't steeped in racist beliefs."

"I remember when Yummy Buffet opened years ago on Lawrence and thought what a funny name for a restaurant, we have to visit! ; but in spite of being literally minutes away from our residence (on foot), we somehow never did. So when our daughter suggested trying it out a few days ago we jumped at opportunity and walked over. I would say that the closest comparison is the one with China Buffet. Place was fairly clean and busy with ample space for individual, family and party accommodations. Prices were in line with what you would expect for a buffet with a nominal charge for our 2 year old son. The only thing I didn 't particularly care about the ambiance were repeated written warnings not to leave food on plates or incur extra charges. This kind of stuff speaks ill of the restaurants clientele and makes you wonder who frequents this place. As for the food I would say again that it was no better but also no worse from what you 'd expect from a buffet. My favorite were string beans which reminded me of homemade stuff made by my Chinese colleague. I also liked plentiful seafood choices but some of the stuff (like roasted calamari) was a bit rubbery and under spiced for my taste. I didn 't care much for the seafood soup for the same reason and was too full to try egg drop soup which is my usual choice. As I don 't partake in dessert I have to trust my daughter who was very pleased with egg custard, ice cream and a variety of other sweets. Overall I think this place provides a base experience for causal buffet goer but with a little bit of work on some of the menu items as well as on its ambiance it has decent growth potential."
