Words won't do justice to Papaya Thai—just go to Sellwood and see for yourself. Courteous and friendly service will guide you through the courses, from crispy spring rolls ($4.50) and delectable satay ($5.95) to unforgettable tom kha gai ($6.95), coconut soup with lemongrass. For entrees, it's all about mountains of scrumptious pad Thai ($6.50-$7.95) and sweet massamun curry ($6.50-$7.95). Get some boxes to leave room for dessert—bite-sized bits of fried banana with chocolate or coconut sauce ($4.95) before you call someone to wheel you home. (KS)
