Our mission: To share our culture through our cuisine, to encourage our children to be more involved with charitable organizations, and to support our local and global communities. Papaya at the Landing opened in March of 2009 after months of anticipation and years of love and care. The birth of Papaya happened in 1997 at the Crossroads Shopping Center in Bellevue and has taken flight to its new image at the Landing. Our restaurants are authentic to our personality, spirit, and character which is defined by our Vietnamese heritage and influenced by growing up in the US. Our locations are purposefully selected to match our mission. We want to be a part of the community but we also want to create community. Each of our restaurants has its own unique menu and style of service to fit with the locale. However, our shared goal is to induce casual family dining, a place where families and friends can sit down and enjoy a meal together, to nurture our relationships & friendships. Our website integrates a children's interactive story of food origins and imagination that is continually evolving. Our (cartoon) characters are created based on members of our family. Yungwin was created in loving memory of our late father, who did not have a chance to meet his granddaughters, Umi & Isa. The Papaya story allows Grandpa to spend time with his granddaughters and travel in spirit with them to discover new and exciting kingdoms. We hope that you enjoy our cuisine, the recipes that have been passed down from our mothers but modified to fit our local palates.
