I have been coming to Joya for years because their food is good and cheap. However, their service is horrible, particularly from the guy who takes your name for a table. He is obnoxious and rude and just not worth the hassle. There are a million Thai restaurants in NYC so I don't understand why he thinks he can talk to people as if he couldn't care less whether they eat there or not. The place is extremely loud, doesn't take reservations (so the wait is always at least 30 min) and doesn't accept credit cards. The ONLY good thing is the food. Otherwise, just not worth the inconvenience and certainly not worth the verbal abuse you receive.
