Joya

We loved this Thai restaurant. It was my wife and I first time coming. We came with 2 more friends. The food was delicious: Pad Thai, Ribs, wings, appetizers, drinks and tea. The portions were generous. We came on a Monday so it wasn’t too crowded. The place is clean. Nice atmosphere. The waitress was friendly and attentive. You can eat indoors or outside. The bathroom was clean.

I had the green curry that was delicious, well priced, clean and efficient service. Good laid out space with a patio out back, the AC seemed to work best in the middle of the restaurant for those who need it.

Joya, very solid Thai joint at court st. Delicious pad see ew and pad kee mao. You can see the wok fire in their open kitchen. The stir fries have an amazing smokiness to them packing a ton of wok hei. Their Chinese brocolli is also not too bitter which some diners might really appreciate. The decor and lighting is very aesthetic and evokes a very warm, cozy feeling. Also has outdoor seating for diners who want an airier space.

we came and had the tie muscles, the salad, and the Tom yum soup as a appetizer. and then also had the quote" fiery green curry. All was pretty mediocre, a little bit different than the typical thai joint, but the food was just all right. check out the photos lol

A Hidden Gem in Brooklyn - A Must-Visit Thai Restaurant During our vacation, this Thai restaurant in Brooklyn stood out as the absolute best dining experience we had. The quality of the food is simply incredible—authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented dishes that transported us straight to Thailand. What made the experience even better was the exceptional service we received from the manager. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. If you’re in Brooklyn, this place is an absolute must-visit. And if you’re not in Brooklyn, you’ll have to make your way here if you don’t want to miss out on this wonderful restaurant!

Large portions and lots of flavor. The service was great. We loved the atmosphere and decor here. Enjoyed watching the open kitchen. Seating is perfect for solo diners, couples, and families

This is the best Thai I’ve had in the city and I’ve been to almost every one, the food is so tasty with so much flavor, it’s super fresh, and the portions are great for the price, the staff is welcoming and warm. Honestly will only go to this place when I’m feeling for Thai food I can never go anywhere else now it was that good!

So sad to write this review. I used to love coming here. It's not the same... :-( curry was watery, the green mango salad wasn't green nor spicy, sweet or salty(fish sauce). Like literally was just wet.. No flavor... The pad Thai was a huge portion but when I asked if they had any tamarind in the back and the answer was a negative...I knew the flavor wasn't going to be there and it wasn't. 😢 Music was too loud and all from 12 years ago ( I remember from highschool). And they wouldn't give us hot water... 🤷🏽‍♀️

Honestly my favourite Thai restaurant in NYC thus far and I've been to a lot. I was kinda worried when I saw the rating but my friend said she loves this place so we came and I love it!! The Thai tea was so good!! And Thai red curry was the perfect consistency and perfect amount of spice and sweet. I got a spice level 2/3. And it wasn't too spicey. We also got to her curry puffs and it's my new favourite appetiser. The service was kind of slow. I had to get the server attention to get our order and for the receipt. It was very spacious inside. I would definitely come again!!

I have been going to this place for years and it's a go to always. Food is delicious, served a good amount to even share plates. Service is very friendly Ambiance is calm and cozy

While waiting for my pup to get out of surgery at BondVet next door, we decided to come by here for a quick happy hour drink. There is a nice outdoor patio in the back, where we sat. I got a Lychee Mojito ($9 for happy hour, $14 otherwise) while the boyfriend had a beer and shot ($9). The drink was solid while a bit on the strong side. I would've stayed here longer, but they didn't allow dogs and I had to pick my pup up. It's a missed opportunity considering they're right next to the vet.

Don't let the initial strong smell of fish sauce deter you from coming in because this place knows how to cook Thai ! We got the fried red snapper to split and it was plenty. It comes with a side of red curry & vegetables and with the fish it was so tasty. The place is good size but in the same area as the kitchen so you get the kitchen smells but the vibe of the restaurant helps make up for it. Service was fine ...nothing spectacular but no problems either. The place was not very busy so they helped us out as we went late afternoon. I recommend.

My go-to neighborhood Thai spot! The ambiance is perfect for a sophisticated , yet casual vibe. The service is always exceptional. We got the papaya salad and fried chive fritters to start. Both were excellent. We then got the tofu pad Thai, veggie pad see ew, and beef drunken noodle. Both the pad Thai and drunken noodle were tasty and delicious. However, the pad see ew was flavorless and is the reason for the 4 star review. Last time I was here, the pad see we was burnt. I would advise you to avoid the pad see ew.

This review is late and Long over due. My 1st time at Joya was about 6 years ago, then again about 2 years after that.. I haven't been in 4 years until last night and everything was just as it was 6 years ago.. excellent customer service from the very attentive staff, delicious food and a great intimate setting. I got the garlic shrimp stir fry and he got the pad see yue noodles with beef.. both delicious. I need to stop by more often

When we arrived at Joya we waited for the hostess to finish taking an over the phone order, we waited for a few minutes then she without saying hello or welcome, asked us how many were in our party. When she brought us to the table she asked if the stroller I brought could be folded to which I looked around and many parents had their strollers unfolded, when I asked if this was necessary she replied snarly and was very rude to me. On Mother's Day lol. We Ordered vegetable spring rolls and fried calamari both dishes tasted like it was cooked in old oil. Horrific. And unexceptable. We've been ordering these exact dishes from this restaurant for over 15 years, never have I ever experienced the poor quality taste, when we spoke to the waitress she wasn't trying to resolve the issue and simply stated they change the oil every morning and will continue to cook in the same oil everyday until closing. She explained she could bring us another order but it would taste the same because they weren't cooking it in new oil. What kind of restaurant customer service is that? She basically told us they're ok with serving their food no matter if it tasted old. I asked her to just cancel the order and ordered the woon sen, which I had one bite and the glass noodles weren't even soft, hard and lacked taste So beyond disgusted with how the food and especially how poor their customer service was today. It is Mother's Day I came to celebrate with my child, nephew and sister. We've been loyal patrons for over 15 years going to song and later joya. We looked forward to coming here but unfortunately today was the last time I will be visiting

I walked in here to celebrate my son's 4th birthday. My child, who is autistic, began to tap the table with his spoon. He oftentimes engages in this sort of behavior which is attributed to his autism. The host kept on staring at my son and repeatedly wagged his finger at my son, to usher him to stop. This is a full restaurant that's got plenty of other people talking, music in the background and the sounds of an open kitchen. The host even continued to say, "you gotta stop or else you'll have to leave" in his nasty, "playful" attitude. If you can't be an accommodating restaurant and empathetic to difference, then you might as well go out of business.

Joya is DANGEROUS place to eat. The back yard has a dead 4 stories tall tree that has fallen on our back yard. The neighbors has contacted the managers and owner multiple times and they have not address this dangerous issue. Please do not eat in the back yard until the tree is cut down. My son and dog could have died from fallen tree. Please contact the restaurant to have them address its Danger.

New experience for us , the food was delicious - I didn't take a photo- shame on me but service was excellent, food was also. Try Thai Food you will like it

A hairy situation!! I have been here many times, but this was the last time I'll come here. They say when anything can go wrong, it will go wrong...this was my experience... 1st they put too much milk in the thai iced... had to send it back! 2nd the spare rib tips I ordered was fried wayyyy to hard...had to send that back...but then when I pulled a long hair out of my mouth after taking a bite of thai fried rice.... I was done!!! The Manager was called over and was confused as to how that could've happened because he said, "The chefs wore hair nets"... last time I checked, hair nets had holes in it, not to mention the servers do not wear hair nets, meaning there's nothing but space and opportunity for hair to fall in. Though the restaurant did not charge us, the manager seemed very nonchalant about the situation. Sooo disappointing, I will not be back.

The food was okay. The service need to have a menu for kids . Someone walked in with a dog . My mom is allergic to dogs . So nasty .

I had visited this restaurant for first time with my co worker. Both had Hoya fried rice. It was bland and terrible. Even the salad was terrible. This was supposed to be a Thai restaurant, but more of Chinese and everything in between. The inside was nice except food. Last time visit and terrible food.

I was invited out to Joya on a first date with someone I never met off the internet. My first thought while checking it out was... (cheap date). Boy was I WRONG!!! So full disclosure bc I was on a first date I took zero pictures and checked in while he was in the restroom so no pictures. But SOME BODY need to put some pictures bc the place is sleek, modern and BEAUTIFUL. The orange hues set up by the lights and frosted glass definitely are giving intimate vibes. The bar placement is crucial and folks kept coming in and out stopping by the bar indulging. It WAS the cutest date night pick I had to feign disinterest and focus on the date. The menu was hand written rustic maybe and the mango margarita didn't taste like a margarita it was not giving margarita at all but it wasn't bad. I wouldn't recommend that even tho it's their star drink. The food menu varies in price from $10 to $30 not bad. We had the wings and shrimp dumplings for appetizer. Literally perfect. I don't even eat wings on a date but I figured it out. Perfect blend of seasons and spices. Dumplings like I just wanted to not share they were that good. Idk if it was oyster sauce they used for dipping chef kiss!! For the entree my date had something omg I wish I knew the name but it was the last menu item in the noodle section. He said he always comes with his family and orders the same thing. I kicked myself for not ordering that it & I went with the shrimp pad Thai. No complaints at all simple fresh. I haven't had Thai in FOREVER and this place made it directly into the list of Brooklyn Gems. Definitely a very quiet vibe the whole neighborhood is a hidden gem if you ask me. Parking was not bad I parked across the street no reservations required and the bathrooms where gender neutral. Excellent service. EXCELLENT!!

We have been going here since we moved to the neighborhood(~9 years)! Some of the best Thai around, atmosphere is fun always packed on weekends and food is tasty and reliable. Service is also quick and they are all so nice. Would recommend!

I went for my friends birthday and to start off the guy who I believe is the owner or manager is absolutely rude. The customer service was horrible. I felt like the guy was a racist because he sees 4 muslim hijabi girls and didn't even care to say hello when we were walking in. I gave a cake to the front for them to bring out at the end of the dinner. Three of us ordered the pad see yue and it was so bland however only the spicy noddles were very good and the shrimp dumplings i recommend. When it was time to bring out the cake to surprise my friend for her birthday they literally gave us the cake the same way we gave it to them. They didn't light up the candles or take the cake out of the box. What restaurant does this? It is basic common sense to at least simply take the cake out and light the candles that's why we gave it to them. They gave us the cake in the box with plates, a knife, and a lighter and basically said do it yourself. Worst experience I have ever had I was so disappointed especially for it being my first time there.

I ordered the Spicy vegetable medley with chili sausage. Jen ordered salmon, vegetables and green curry sauce. The food was excellent Service was excellent Cheers

A cool location not only to dine in but just as cool to get the food for takeout. The restaurant is a blend of hip, upbeat, somber, chill. Nothing eccentric but it's definitely worth popping in. Grabbing a bite to match your hunger size and enjoying the energy from the fellow patrons. The location is of moderate size. The backyard seating is a nice touch. It'll have you looking forward to enjoying some summer evening company there.

It pains me to leave a negative review for Joya, I've been coming here for about 10 years and have introduced so many friends and family to this place. After moving to SF a few years ago, I make sure to squeeze in at least 1 meal at Joya. My recent trip to Joya was SUCH a disappointment and I finally understand the reasoning behind so many negative reviews. The calamari was all breading and soggy. Our curry dish was cold. The server seemed so annoyed having to serve us and was super unfriendly. He didn't bother to change the dish or just head it up. I don't think I've ever had cold Thai food, but somehow Joya managed to make that happen. I truly hope they listen to the reviews and make some serious changes! My 2 stars are def for the decor and the clean bathrooms.

Came here for a quick bite and drink. And it was great. The only thing I would say, I don't know if it was just our luck but the menu was limited almost everything we asked for they said they didn't have. Kinda disappointing. We had their chicken skewers and an order of pad Thai as well as chum spring rolls. It was all very delicious. I didn't take any pictures because I was hungry and forgot. The place itself is very cute and intimate. Will I be back?? Yes I will!! Hoping next time the whole menu is available.

Joya is definitely one of those neighborhood restaurants that never disappoints. I've dined at Joya a few times and one of the things that I recognized is that their very consistent in all they do. I always receive prompt and courteous service. The food is always fresh and made to order. Another plus, Joya always has the best dinner specials. Their drink selection is great as well. On this particular outing, I was able to dine outside and I enjoyed that experience. On a block that has many options, Joya is definitely a hit and will remain in my Thai food rotation for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend it.

Always gotta come for my favorite Thai restaurant. I took off one star because I arrived at 3:30pm the owner told me their on a break till 4:30pm wtf. Y'all just opened at 12:30pm well my bestie drove all the way from qns so we walked up the block to Trader Joes. We got back right on time and was seated anywhere we wished . And we were starving so we ordered Fried Calamari and Wrapped Tiger Shrimp . I forgot to take a pic damn but both good nice and crispy. Then we both ordered Mango Margaritas very good and strong. Let me add the waiter was very attentive and even tho margaritas not on the menu he made em! Okay now we both ordered the Pad see yue she got chicken and shrimp spicy , I ordered mines with chicken non-spicy but still good of course. And a healthy portion we both asked for to go containers lol. Joya is a Cobblehill staple and never misses trust me.! One downfall the takeout container not fond of they should do at least a microwave proof option otherwise was good. Will always return..

Five stars for flavor. I've seen this restaurant around for over a decade and I think it was one of my very first Thai restaurants. I'm happy they've survived and thrived during the pandemic. One thing every dish had in common was that it was delicious, packed with flavor, and had a random large chop of vegetable lol! As long as you're not a food critic, you should be fine with every dish. 1) Mango Salad - Everyone should get this. Unlike other places, they really give you a whole mango and not just other vegetables. My only reco is that they put this salad in a bowl and not a dish so the salad can marinate in the delicious dressing a little more. Your first bite probably won't get dressing. Also, look at the size of that red onion piece lol 2) Pad See Yue - Completely delicious. I got mine with chicken. There was one large stalk of Chinese broccoli haha 3) Pineapple fried rice - Flavorful with plenty of fresh (not canned) pineapple. There was a large piece of carrot and a large block of cabbage lol Overall, I'll be back. Thanks Joya for sticking around and providing me deliciousness and surprises on my plate.

The wings are the worse ever from a Thai food perspective. Bland and the sauce they used is like something one would get from the local grocery store shelves. It borders on criminal! The presentation is not what I expected. I have never seen Thai food served where they put the Curry and rice all together on a plate for you. That is how they served "Green Curry with Rice." Usually the Curry and Rice are served separate and you are then in charge of mixing your meal. Expect lots of rice and very little Chicken. The Red Curry with Noodle was presented in a similar manner. I did not have either meals but the feedback was that it was ok. I shared the spicy noodle dish, which was not as spicy as I would have liked. I ended up asking for Green Chilis to add to the spice level and that made the meal more palatable. Overall, not my place for Thai food. I felt that Joya fell way short in making good, tasty Thai food. Their fare is probably more suited to an Americanized bland palate; if you are serious about Thai food, this is not the place for you. I would have given this place two stars but the bathroom was smelly and the service slow so 1 star it is. We concluded that this visit was a one and done!

A decade since my last review of joya, it's still not authentic but now it's not so tasty either. My friend ordered the pad Thai and that was the right move, i went a bit more adventurously into the menu, and that's definitely the wrong move.

I ordered from Joya tonight with a couple of girlfriends. We ordered the epitome of basic Thai food - pad Thai, pad see yue, spring rolls, chicken satay... Ummm the best pad see yue I've ever had! First off, it came with a lemon wedge which was the perfect shot of acid. The chicken was plentiful and really juicy... not to typical dry chicken breast strips you sometimes get. The sauce on the noodles was really well balanced. The noodles themselves were really well cooked, not too soft even though they had been sitting in a takeout container. Such a pleasant surprise! The spring rolls were, of course, excellent. Delivery was efficient and timely. Will definitely be reordering Joya again!

We went back after 20 years for our 21st anniversary and it's the same aromatic, complex, and amazing flavor, ambience, and service that had us visiting when Joya first opened its doors. And nothing has changed, which is what we love! And, the Mango Margarita is a must try! They haven't forgotten why people keep coming. Thank you Joya!

I've had the worst experience ordering from this restaurant. I ordered the pad Thai, the red curry noodles (in pictures, I also have a video), and the spicy chicken and pineapple fried rice. Though I didn't receive the best customer service while ordering, I didn't pay too much mind to it because I just wanted some food. I hadn't eaten all day and it was already around 2/3 in the afternoon. When I got the food, which came out pretty fast (within 10 mins of waiting), I went straight to my car and started sharing some food with my sisters. It wasn't until I got in the middle of my bowl of red curry that I saw the longest hair. The hair was at least 6-8 inches long. I know that this was not my hair because I have short 4C hair that is currently loc'd. I immediately went back to the restaurant to return the food and receive a full refund. When I got back, the same man was there and I explained to him there was a hair in my red curry. He tried to get me to refund the one bowl only, which I then explained to him that I wanted my full refund back. He asked if there was anything wrong with the rest of the food and I told him I was uncomfortable consuming the rest after finding the hair in my bowl, and the conversation stopped there. He did a post void for my order and without a word, put my receipt on the counter and walked away. I would like to add, he didn't hand me the receipt and it almost flew off of the counter and he walked away without even an apology. If I could rate 0 stars, I would. The customer service was absolutely terrible. I would never recommend this place, even to my worst enemy.

Had the spare ribs as an appetizer, and wow the sauce that comes along with it just makes the dish. I had the red curry noodles with chicken as my entree and my bf got the chicken pad thai. I can never choose between curry and pad thai so the red curry noodles were the perfect solution. Sweet curry with the perfect amount of spice and very well cooked chicken and noodles. Chicken pad Thai was very rich and I loved the bean sprouts in them. Also, get mango sticky rice for dessert. Necessary.

I love this place. We have always received fast and prompt service, excellent food that always tastes hot and fresh, in a restaurant that is clean and always busy. The cherry on top is how affordable it is. Will always stop here when in Brooklyn.

It's such a nice Thai place . I went there yesterday and the yard is so nice. I had wine with mango salad. It was such a nice salad. I really like the combination of peanuts with mango and ice berg lettuce. The service was fast and you can tell That the place is so beautiful inside but due to covid rules outdoors only. I like this place And def Would recommend it if ur in cobble hill Area.

My partner and I love Joya's food as it's extremely delicious, fresh and we have been there so many times that we can't count. My review is not related to the food, it's directed to the quality of service. We usually go there on weekends but this week we went on a Wednesday evening. So, to begin the man seating us had quite an attitude with us but I didn't let that get to me and moved on. Then the young waitress was kind off rushing us to order so we asked for fried calamari and right off she said there was none.!!!!! So while we deciding which appetizers we would order she again came back to take our orders and out of the blue.... She said she was informed that they DO have calamari. So we ordered it. During this process she never asked anybody neither went to the kitchen to ask!!!!! So then we placed or entrees order and more than 45 went by which by then a party of 6 People came in 25 mins after us and they got their food in less than 8 mins !!!! While the waitress delivered their plates she realized I was watching her and then she and another server were at POS Machine giving us looks and talking about us. So by then my partner went in to talk to the host and he had this careless attitude and never checked on our food. But by then 19 mins later our food was delivered to our table "lukewarm" and I'm pretty sure our food was just waiting to be picked up. Anyway we began to eat and the waitress ame by to ask how was everything and I told her nicely that in all the years we have been coming here we have never waited so long for our food, and then she gave us this sad story that she was working alone !!!!!. But then we felt we were being rushed to finish our food. Mind you when we go to Joya on weekends the place is packed and food is always brought to us within under 8 mins not 45 mins with an attitude plus she forgot to bring cutlery and when we asked for the hot sauces she gave us a lecture and said no. I had to tell her we always order calamari and get the four sauces to dip the calamari. Anyway. From now on I will not go to Joya on a weeknight. To me this was a huge dissatisfaction and disappointment as I did work in the food Industry for more than 22 years and this was not the way I expect to be treated when I'm paying !!!!!! So instead of keep looking at your cellphone you should pay more attention to the customers just like the water boy/ bus boy he was so nice to everyone and was working his ass off. I also wanted to be known that we love this place ambience and cleanliness but customer service needs to improve fast as I have always invite people to come and try but if you keep treating people like this you'll know what is gonna happen. The weekend staff seems to know what to do. The Wednesday staff are so lost. ( except the bartender!!!! And the kitchen staff) Oh and also and Asian kitchen staff kept fighting and arguing with the host they our entire stay at the place. They were so damn loud it wasn't nice.

I recently came to Joya after a couple years hiatus. I used to work nearby so I visited more frequently but oh have I missed it. Wasn't sure how my visit would turn out with Covid and all. It was 8pm and I was praying for indoor seating because it was too cold for any outdoor set up (even with a heated lamp). Lucky for my date and I, the seating was indoors. First, we had to get our temperature taken and then leave our information for contact tracing purposes. We were happy to see that there were barely any people dining at the time. Just one couple. We sat to the back of the restaurant because I figured it'd be super cozy there, which it was (really close to the kitchen, lol). My date and I both ordered stuff from the Specials menu. He had a fried rice beef stew which smelled super delicious (too bad I only eat seafood). I ordered the sautéed shrimp and grilled vegetables with noodles. It was scrumptious and finger licking! I literally cleaned my plate until it almost flipped over on my cute, silk dress. We had two glasses of Merlot which came in big wine glasses but I sure as hell wasn't complaining. The more, the merrier! Man I didn't realize how much I missed Joya's fresh, piping hot dishes. I hope to be back whenever outside dining comes back.

Before we moved out 2003, this was our favorite Thai restaurant in Carroll Gardens. We were thrilled to discover Caviar can deliver to us out here in Flatbush. Placed the order at 6:10pm & it arrived at 6:48, quick! The food was top notch. The spring rolls were a little greasy but they're fried, so of course. The Som salad was crispy & had a lot of dressing pooling at the bottom. The ribs were so darn good! Good crunch, caramelized snap to the bite with moist flavorful meat. The Pad Thai & Spicy Needles were fantastic with both the Red Curry & the Tom Yum Soup which had a powerful spicy flavor.

The food here is delicious. Never had any complaints. I haven't been here for a while just came back just as recently after a hiatus. Glad they take cards now. The only downer is the kitchen is open so you smell everything and I was worried I was going to smell like food when I left. The service was prompt. My cousin and I had the pork ribs which looked dry but was far from it when you took a bite it was juicy and tender. The shrimp fried rolls were juSt ok but the sauce was tasty. The green curry fried rice was tasty however it had some heat so for those who can't handle heat it may be hard to finish. The Kooning Kratiam was delicious plenty of shrimp and veggies. This place gives huge portions and the prices are reasonable.

Friday night it rained at dinner, and Joya didn't have umbrellas or heaters or anything to cover five full parties already seated in its back patio. We arrived at 7:15pm and were seated outside. The waiter immediately asked us to order, so we got pad thai and spicy noodles. I didn't have time to look at drinks so I ordered a lager, the first thing I saw. We then waited for over an hour as the clouds overhead started to drizzle and then picked up into a steady rain. A father with his son next to us, and I, ran inside to see if there were tables available. They said no. We sat outside, some parties huddled against the sides of the patio where overhanging plants were collecting some of the water and we could stay dry. Our papaya salad collected rain water as we laughed at how ridiculous it is that 2 years into a pandemic and a month after a hurricane, this busy, mid-sized restaurant doesn't have an outdoor set-up. Still, this is NY, and some people were willing to stay outside and continue to eat as the rain crescendoed. After a while, they moved us inside, but it still took from 7:15pm to 8:15pm to receive our noodles. I felt bad for the waiter, who seemed to be the only one serving all the tables. Seems like a management issue for SURE. Added a star for the spicy noodles, which were hot, with fresh vegetables and doughy fat noodles. Papaya salad or som tum - piled high, ripe, decent taste but not esp flavored, some peanuts and cherry tomatoes on a bed of iceberg.

Best Pad Thai in BK! Has definitely become one of my go to places, the employees are always friendly and the food never misses. Would definitely recommend!

Quick recap: great food, fast service, and a nice intimate modern vibe. Great spot. Came here and got a salmon summer roll as an appetizer and it was great. Just wish there was a little but more salmon in there. Then got the chicken spicy noodles and shrimp pad khing and both were delicious. Not heavy in spice or heavy on flavors. However, the taste was good so I can't hold it against them. Service was fast and friendly. The environment is ideal for a date. Recommend this spot if you're in the area

I used to come here often years ago when there was always a long wait, people out there door and quite frankly with the amount Thai restaurants that started popping up all over Brooklyn who has time for that. After a movie one night on Court st I suggested trying our old spot Joya. My bf immediately was like ugh, it's Saturday night it's going to be packed. I say eh, you never know it's been years. We go and lo and behold no line, no wait, good amount of people in the restaurant but not packed. The decor is updated and more brightly lit than I remember it being previously. There is also a very nice backyard space. We ate outside it was lovely. We enjoyed our meals here as usual and the drinks were good. Staff was very attentive and food came out quickly.

I love Thai food. My fave to order from here is the chicken or shrimp basil fried rice and shrimp tempura rolls. So delicious! The most amazing food I had. But I tried their pad Thai I was disappointed. They're inexpensive. They're clean and fast. Always come here or deliver or pickup. If you're new to Thai food must try their basil fried rice

Joya, I enjoyed ya. This neighborhood itself has so many edgy.. modern.. even whimsical kind of spots to dine in, and despite that Joya is able to shine through. Upon arrival its almost late night club feeling before you meet the outside courtyard for eating and hanging out in the back. This place would be excellent for a date, night out with friends, but children should be left at home, let the adults roam free! Anyway, we started with the calamari and the barbeque wings, and if you follow my reviews, you know asian wings arent my favorite -but I have found them. The perfect mix of your traditional fried chicken wing in a honey sauce with asian flair. My father in law's favorite, my wife dislikes them(shes more of a Wangs and Bonchon type wing), and I had to take his side on this one. My plate here was my favorite, did not stray far from what im used to, they have an excellent red curry sauce where the coconut really gets to shine. My wife had the green curry, which is not my typical choice, but her shrimp was not cleaned properly as the vein had remained in her shrimp. The steak and shrimp fried rice plate stole the show at the table presentation wise, the portion size is for two, has to be. And if youre afraid of trying new things and go for the pad thai -gotcha, thats super packed with flavor too. Despite the shrimp incident and a plate incident we had, I did enjoy myself and enjoy the food. The decor, the food, it all comes together nicely. All in all very much enjoyed this experience and can see why its one of my mother in laws favorite places to eat. Will return soon!

This is a great option for traditional Thai food in Brooklyn. We had the usual suspects- I admit the menu could be more adventurous. But the food we had was delicious. And this was delivery, no less... Try it...

This is some of the best Thai takeout I've had between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Wow the pad khing is so good, amazing price and portion sizes too! I ordered ahead and the pickup time was super quick. Staff was friendly and it looked like a cool environment to dine in as well. Menu isn't super large but I'll definitely be going back to try more items!

Location: Cobble hill has some of the best restaurants. Joya has some best Thai food representation Place is large: they have bar session and even outdoor place for you to dine in. Food: had their spicy noodle. So good!!! The lemon made the spicy noodle taste sour and spice and sweet. Service: fast and nice. Price: cheap. They have take out and delivery as well. Overall: highly recommend this place if you are in neighborhood 4 stars.

Really good food. I usually am picky with squid but it's super good! And the noodles are delicious. 10/10 would come here again

I was in Brooklyn to see some of the Art with my friends and we decided to come here for dinner. One of my friends had never had Thai food so she was a bit skeptical but from the moment we walked into the place we fell in love. The restaurant is so cute with intimate seating and candles on every table. Since it was nice we decided to sit outside where they had table and benches with pillows. I loved it. For appetizers we ordered the Fried Calamari and Chicken Satay. The calamari was cooked perfectly and was not overly friend or greasy. The chili sauce that came with it was one of the best I ever had. For entrée I had the Shrimp Pad See Ew which was so yummy. My friend who never had thai food tried it and thought it was amazing. My two friends ordered the special of Salmon with mango salad and stick rice. From what I could see their portion was very generous and they both loved it. I will definitely come here again if I'm ever back in the neighborhood. On a side note, the service was also excellent.

I've been coming here for over 10 years and they're so consistent with quality and taste. Every time I come here I try and order something different and it's always AMAZING. Started off with fried calamari and chicken curry puffs, great choices. Im a huge fan of their dipping sauce for the calamari. I also used it to dip my chicken curry puff. For entrees we did a garlic beef dish with broccoli and carrots. I did the masaman curry, and my boyfriend did the pan ang pork. Everything was so delicious. We didn't leave anything on our plates. Food is always super delicious, service can be better but honestly the food is so good and comes out so quick I don't care about the service. Highly recommend to come here as much as you can. They don't take reservations for parties less than 6 people, parking can be vicious on the weekends. Enjoy your experience, I know I did!

Joya's is #1 Thai Restaurant on my list, I have been coming here for years and the food gets better over time. As you can see in the picture how much food we ordered! Wait time - LONG (if you haven't reserved seating) Waiters - Area- Food and drinks

First time eating here as I was taken here by a church friend and I must say from the outside the place looks small but once inside it has the setting of elegant dining, extremely roomy and dining open concept to their backyard setting. Wow sweet For lunch I chose their bbq spare ribs served with white rice a green and red pepper pineapple veggie sauce delicious. Since we were only a table of three other groups seated serve was ok. Yes I would attend this Thai restaurant again.
