CUISINE: Thai
NEIGHBORHOOD: Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO

215 Court Street at Warren Street, Brooklyn Heights

(p) 718-222-3484

 

Because they don’t take reservations, we spent an hour at the bar sipping on mojitos and mint juleps which were refreshing and potent.  Also, at $8, they were more expensive than our entrees. To start the meal off we had the fresh Thai summer roll which consisted of bland, cold veggies and did not evoke the joys of summer.  The special Chicken curry puffs, however, were outstanding-- crispy puff pastry with a flavorful ground chicken. We ordered a range of the standard American Thai dishes—Pad See Yue, Beef and Broccoli, and a couple curries.  

 

The food was better than your average Thai place, but it’s the atmosphere that sets Joya apart. It’s not everyday that we see exposed brick walls and enlarged black and white photography in a Thai restaurant.  The open kitchen allows for a heavily aromatic stay, and occasional bursts of fire set a distinct mood.  The exposed ceiling ducts were cool, though we didn’t appreciate the drips of water every few minutes.  Overall, it was cheap, tasty, and a good place to go with a group of friends.
