Spicy noodles with chicken and beef was horrible. No flavor and all meat was bland and dry. Thai pastry puffs were soggy and the worst I ever had. Ribs were fatty, flavorless, chewy with barely any meat on the bone! Extremely disappointed!

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

Been coming here for as long as I can remember (at least a decade). Love the pad see you, fried calamari, and green curry. Can see and smell the food being cooked out in the open (kitchen is in the same room as the restaurant). Will always come back every once in a while.

Really good chicken pad Thai. $16, and was ready for takeout in like 15 min.

Birthday lunch here. Delicious food. Open kitchen it
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!

My party’s food came out quickly but the portion was not good for the price. The flavor of my meal was overpowered by smokiness. The hostess was rude, which was Very disappointing after we walked 30 minutes because this place was recommended to us. The other reviews mention a serious decline in quality, which must be the case.

Favorite Thai restaurant in NYC. Been coming here for over 7 years. Chicken pad Thai and coconut soup is a must!Ambiance is nice and the price for the quality of food is great. Staff are amazing and always attentive. Must try if you’re in downtown Brooklyn.

Joya used to be delicious, I’m not sure if it’s under new management. This is the second time my god was disgusting. I ordered pad see ew, it was salty, oily & burned. It had a taste of a pot no flavor what so ever but a charred metal taste. I also ordered a Thai Iced Tea , it was spilled inside of the bag. The bath was literally leaking when handed to me. I’m disappointed and Joya lost a customer. Eat at Rua or Huge Thai you will not be disappointed!

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.
