    Amazing

    This is the best papaya king location, in my opinion. I've been going there for the past five or six years, since I discovered them. The hot dogs are always amazing. I love when they are well done

    For what it is, it's Great!

    This is a cheap hotdog place. There are a lot of "Papaya" like dog places around the city, and they pretty much serve the same dogs. I personally like two with cheese and a soda. Not too big on the juices, but they're pretty good. You'll eat your dogs in about 30 seconds, because the only reason to go here is when you're on the move and hungry. You'll probably find yourself slamming one down over a garbage can or on the street corner, which can only add to the fragrance and taste of these cheap New York dogs...

    Best in NY

    When you talk Hot Dogs in NY you must mention PK. "Two with onions on a cold roll please" If I had a dollar for every time I've said that... The Best Hotdog in Mahattan. I should know I have two hotdogs as pets

    Cheap, quick, but not that great...

    I'm not sure why there's always such a long line here. The drinks are real, fresh, and tasty but they are expensive and they come in a tiny cup which you finish in about 3 sips. The hot dogs are gross -- seriously, I'd rather throw an Oscar Meyer wiener in the microwave and eat that! I told them I wanted everything on my dog and it came with practically nothing but sweet onions. The curly fries were probably good, but I wouldn't know since mine were soggy and old. PASS

    Too sugary

    I went to the store on 33rd & 5th Ave. and tried one of their Papaya drinks. It was simply loaded with sugar.

    When eating is an annoyance...

    I'm frequently in a rush and want food that fills, tastes good, and doesn't take long to acquire. Papaya King is perfect for these needs. I highly recommend the original special (two hot dogs and a drink, I prefer Papaya) for under $5. It's the best at what it does: providing good, cheap, efficient food. Better than Gray's Papaya and other imitators.

    awesome!

    A place with history, and everybody says, when you stay at the Upper East Side, you must at least eat there once. Well, I did that tonight, and I will come back soon. The hot dogs taste great (especially the house sauce), but I really enjoyed the atmosphere. You see all different kind of people coming and going, some having a quick bite, others staying longer. Just go there, you won't regret it! One word to the service, which has been critiqued a lot here- come on, it's a hotdog place. And the food is great value for money (hotdog < 2 USD), so I can live with that.
