This place serves up great hot dogs and sausages. The cheese fries and drinks are good too. The prices aren't cheap but won't break your bank either. My personal favorites are the chili-cheese dogs, and the spicy beef sausage. A regular hot dog with sauerkraut and onion goes a long way too. In any case, if you are in the area and in the mood for a two-thousand calorie snack, stop on in. Your arteries may not love you for it, but your stomach will.

Burst of flavor in your mouth. Wineturtle grew up on this stuff the Poulos Family has a lock onPapaya imports and it shows Freshest best tasting Papaya Drink.. but the Orange drink with two dogs...thats it no question.. Nathans is Nathans But Papaya King is just the best After a night of sip sip sip .....The nicely spiced Dog with Coconut Drink puts you right again.John Lindsey(former mayor of NYC) was a big fan I'd see him with his wife a lot thats how long they have been NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: TASTE, Fresh Papaya, Family run for years

Absolutely the best hot dog in the city, perhaps the country. No comparison to the cheap "Papaya" knockoffs. These other joints may sell cheaper dogs, but the orininal Papaya King @ 86 Str. & 3 ed. Ave. is still the best. Also Papaya King's drinks & fresh fruit shakes & juices are way superior to to the others.

Papaya King is WAY better than Gray's Papaya. Gray's Papaya only offered me a choice of two toppings and NO relish. What kind of hot dog doesn't serve relish? No, Papaya King is truly the tastiest frankfurter around.
Pros: Great Food

There's no question, go to the west side, Gray's Papaya is much better than Papaya King. The hot dogs at Gray's are much tastier, but both are good. And the people in Gray's are nicer too.
Cons: gray's is better
