“ I was in the area for work . This has to be one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve had ever. The food is phenomenal!! ”
“ This family run restaurant puts a ton of love into their dishes. Our family all tried different items and they were all full of great flavors. Very friendly server and bus girl keeping our waters full and a clean table. The restaurant is insanely clean! Our first time here but far from our last! ”
“ Very fresh and authentic Thai food. Wonderful flavor and great atmosphere. Waitress was a total delight and food was reasonably priced. Highly recommended and we will be back now that we know they are there! ”
“ The panang curry with salmon was delicious and filling. Highly recommend the curry here. ”
“ Food is fresh. Service is fast. True authentic Thai food. The space is very intimate and very clean. Prices are reasonable ranging from 4 - 15 on most menu items. ”
“ Wonderful service. We had to dash because I'd lost my ring (we found it if your reading! Haha) so they very swiftly packed up our food and were so sweet. I loved the panang noodles and my husband enjoyed the chicken basil rice. ”
“ Super cute Thai restaurant! Have been wanting some more authentic Asian food. Seems to be a family owned restaurant! I am always on the hunt for delicious crab Rangoon. It seems their Rangoons are different than most. Has carrots and celery in it, and it’s minced. So you can barely tell. Definitely a must try! We had the pad see ew, chicken rama, and crazy noodle. All amazing! Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea was delicious! Waitress was super friendly! The atmosphere at the restaurant is super homey and cozy. Will definitely come back to support local businesses! ”
“ UPDATE: Joy of Thai will close for about a month or so starting about October 27. No, they are not going out of business. The owner will travel to their native country to tend to family matters. I hope things go well with them and the family. I offered to do the cooking while they were away. She didn’t take me up on my offer. Oh well...their loss. I had a bright idea of ordering a few items and keep them in the freezer. This should tide me over while they are away. I hope they have a safe trip and return quickly. They are really nice people. — We had a taste for Thai food and today we decided to try someplace different. Joy of Thai is one of three similar type restaurants nearby. Located on the south side of 179th street just east of Wolf Road. It is in a small strip mall, being one of three occupants. We pass by it all the time. Having tried and being unsatisfied with the other restaurants we had eaten from before. This visit was out very first. To keep things simple we ordered pork fried rice and pineapple fried rice, a vegetable dish. Both dishes were prepared fresh, were very tasty, and presented in a different style of dish whereby we could actually see what we purchased. The seasoning used reminded my of Indian food with a slight use of curry. Everything was delicious and I can’t believe I consumed the entire dish; each serving was a few hours apart of course. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. The carryout experience was smooth and easy. Give them a try. You will enjoy it. ”
