Diner notes

Got the holiday special: 2 hot dogs (I got one topped with mustard and sauerkraut and the other with onions) and the signature papaya juice for $10 total. They accept credit cards and tap to pay. They have about half a dozen tables to stand at (no chairs which is fine since its fast food). Quality food and service was as expected.

This is my first time setting foot in the new location on the upper east side and I must say it didn't disappoint. Hot dogs were fresh off the grill and buns were fluffy and hot with plenty of selections to put on top. The best part of eating some good hot dogs is nothing better than washing it down with a refreshing Mango or Papaya drink. Overall customer service was on point, line wait on average less than 5 mins per person and price wise your looking at between $10 and $20 average depending on what your on the mood for. So if your in the upper east side and want a quick bite that I know will hit the spot then stop off at Papaya King.

Was told this was the best hot dog in New York, and oh boy was i told right! Love the service, and on top of the AMAZING hot dogs, they have fries and unbelievable beverages. I definitely recommend this place!
