Joy's Pattaya Thai (Richfield)

Awesome local spot for tasty Thai food! Be warned they bring the heat!! The medium spice was hotter than anywhere else I’ve been - but still sooo good!!

We were very excited to eat here as we had heard great things about this restaurant. It was only okay. The service was our biggest turn off. Our waiter did not know anything about the menu, nor could he recommend anything. We ordered the Tom Yum soup, it was good. It was brought in an ancient (traditional) bowl with a space to light coal/candle to keep it warm. Our waiter refused to light it and the soup got cold fast. Drunken noodles were only okay, fried rice meh.....Green Curry was good. We ordered everything vegetarian. My husband kept on complaining of fish smell in food even though we ordered without it. Their fresh spring rolls were good.

This has 4.2 star rating on Google Maps, but, I don't think it really is. Seafood dishes are much higher priced than other dishes, and seem to have a small amount of seafood and a large amount of filler vegetables. Noodle dish also was short of protein and vegetable, but plenty of noodles. I have had much better Thai food. This is only mediocre. Very limited parking in back, but, restaurant is not very big. Parking: Limited parking space in back.
