Cheap Eats 2006

By Karla Starr

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)
