Papaya King

Daniel Barber

A little gem with lots of flavour! The papaya drink I had was so refreshing, and complimented the hot dogs so well. The prices were fair and I really enjoyed my classic hotdog and chili combo i tasted from my friend. There were no seats at the restaurant, but you could stand and eat at one of a handful of tall tables.

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.

The hot dog is elite. The papaya juice is refreshing and pairs great. Very cheap.

This is my first time setting foot in the new location on the upper east side and I must say it didn't disappoint. Hot dogs were fresh off the grill and buns were fluffy and hot with plenty of selections to put on top. The best part of eating some good hot dogs is nothing better than washing it down with a refreshing Mango or Papaya drink. Overall customer service was on point, line wait on average less than 5 mins per person and price wise your looking at between $10 and $20 average depending on what your on the mood for. So if your in the upper east side and want a quick bite that I know will hit the spot then stop off at Papaya King.

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.

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.

Was told this was the best hot dog in New York, and oh boy was i told right! Love the service, and on top of the AMAZING hot dogs, they have fries and unbelievable beverages. I definitely recommend this place!

I haven’t been in years but I’m glad they are back. The new location is definitely cleaner, more efficient but also lost a bit of its charm from the old days. Thankfully the service is still great and the dogs are still yummy. The banana daiquiri is still my go to drink when visiting. I highly recommend!
