Joy

"Geoff claims to hate order-at-the-counter spots, so he’s shot down your last 16 ideas in the neighborhood. But Joy isn’t just any counter-order place - this fantastic Taiwanese restaurant is used to handling groups. The food arrives quickly, but it’s coursed out well enough that you don’t end up with all nine dishes on your table at the same time. Joy’s beer and wine list is surprisingly good, and they’ve got a menu full of can’t-miss dishes like thousand layer pancakes, minced pork over rice, and vegan mapo tofu." - Brett Keating
