Best

I'm a big thai fan, and I love curry, especially the yellow or massamune kind. This place has a nice atmosphere, decent service, and did I mention the curry? There's plenty to fil...

Worst

the food was subpar, the mangos and salad were by no means fresh at all definitely thumbs down :(

One reason I won't leave the 'hood! 3/24/2004

My friends in Manhattan rarely come out to Brooklyn. I convinced them to cross the river and go to Joya with me. The are hooked!!! So many times you go out in Manhattan and a meal cost and arm and a leg and it is awful! Joya is soooo cheap and the food is wonderful. They have a wide selection and great specials. more

Thai not to be missed!! 3/2/2004

I am not sure what negative reviewers had to eat, but since I live close by and eat there all the time, I have never had a less-than-wonderful experience at Joya. My favorite salad is the mango salad - the best I've ever had. And the rest of the food is delicious and fresh. Nothing is expensive, the service is quick and courteous, the live music never fails, and the overall ambience creates a fantastic and tasty dining experience. This isn't a quiet 'romantic' place, it is hip and loud and sleek. So if you want to have an 'intimate' dinner where you can only hear the other person's voice, maybe this isn't the place. However, for a friendly get-together where noise becomes part of the energy that feeds you, Joya is the way to go!! Pros: Inexpensive, Great Decor, Fresh Ingredients Cons: , Wait List, Cash Only more

LOOK NO FURTHER... 2/10/2004

Joya is simply the best Thai you will find in all of Brooklyn and NYC - Possibly all 5 borroughs. The fresh, large portions are just delightful, you're likely to try almost everything on this unlimited menu. Not only do they have large portions, but GREAT specials everyday. They'll even let you re-vamp their entrees to your liking if need be. Joya is the type of restaurant you can go to multiple times a week. Their food - SUPERB. Their drinks - fairly priced, large and refreshing. The atmosphere a plus. Young crowd in for some good food and great service! Pros: Inexpensive, Always a good crowd, Great Service more

Terrific Thai 12/4/2003

This is some of the best Thai food I've found in NYC. Not only is it fresh, well prepared and just plain delicious - it's incredibly reasonable in price (large portions, too!). The restaurant itself is funky and trendy without trying - check out the garden seating during good weather. Try the mango martinis - they're AMAZING! more

Budget Seafood?? 7/18/2003

I was almost scared off by crowd and the impossible promises of well-cooked and cheap Thai food in a great setting, but this place really delivered. The service was barely passable, but my food -- fried cod with green papaya salad -- was perfectly cooked. It was easily as good as any seafood dish I've had at $100-a-head restaurants. Didn't try the noodles or curries, so can't comment on their quality/authenticity, but next time. more

Joya is a Jewel... 3/14/2003

I heard about Joya through a few friends of mine at school and had heard nothing but good things about the place. The Thai food here is quite good and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere was laid back and the crowd was very mixed. I expected entrees to be at least in the $15-20 range, but most of the entrees on the menu were under $10. The specials menu had items ranging from around $12-15 dollars. All the food sounded good so it took me a while to pick out my red curry dish and an appetizer of calamari... they were both quite good. They had a limited wine and beer selection, but the bottle of Echelon Merlot was pretty decent and priced at only $21. Luckily, I made reservations for our group or else it would have been a long wait. Check this place out! Pros: Good food and value, Efficient wait staff, Nice Atmosphere Cons: Can be crowded, Loud at times more

vegetarians beware 3/6/2003

The food here was some of the best Tai food I have ever had. A large dissapointment came at the end of the meal, however, when i found a large piece of chicken in my vegetarian entree. The staff was very appologetic and comp'ed the meal. Pros: yummy, cheap Cons: crowded, meat in vegetarian di more

going back for sure 2/22/2003

so tasty, especially the grilled coconut corn on the cob starter. it was very crowded but you can always sit at the back counter if there's only two of you. noodles and curry were both yummy. Pros: good price, many options, friendly staff more

Wonderful 12/4/2002

My favorite restaurant in Cobble Hill is also, conveniently, among the chaepest. Imagine, if you will, a restaurant with most entrees under $10, food that is tasty and made from quality ingredients, and has a great ambience (with DJ, most nights). Sometimes it gets crowded, but the maitre d' makes sure everyone is kept track of, and the wait is never as long as it looks. Definitely make a reservation for any group larger than 4. Pros: Inexpensive, Hip, Tasty food Cons: Crowded more

Glad they're in the 'hood 11/30/2002

I've lived in the Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights area for about 15 years. I'm glad to see restaurants such as Joya opening and flourishing. The food is very good. The best Masaman curry I've had. The Tofu Tod and the summer rolls are nice. They have a dish called Druken Noodles that is often not on the menu, but is great--ask for it. Lively bar scene and a very nice rear outdoor desk in the summertime for dining under the trees. The only drawback is that it gets crowded and very noisy because of the minimalist concrete floors and walls Pros: great food, lively scene, outdoor deck Cons: noisy, often too crowded more
