This spot is a great addition to the area, especially considering they just opened not too long ago. If they keep putting out food like this, they're going to have no problem building a loyal customer base. The Pad Thai was absolutely delicious with great flavor throughout, the pot stickers were cooked perfectly with a crispy exterior and flavorful filling, and the Khao Mun Gai was a standout. The chicken was incredibly tender, the rice was packed with flavor, and everything came together really well for a comforting, satisfying meal. The restaurant itself has a clean, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for sitting down and enjoying your food instead of just grabbing something to go. The customer service was another highlight of the experience. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of the support as a newer restaurant. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Overall, this is a fantastic new Thai spot that's already off to a strong start. Great food, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere make it an easy place to recommend. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

Return or not return? Maybe. Saw reviews and did takeout. Friendly person answered the phone and struggled a bit with understanding I wanted my bean sprouts cooked. Upon pickup, the restaurant very quiet on a Tuesday night. Prices very reasonable and portions generous. My issue. Pad Thai which is a signature dish was over seasoned with tamarind powder and violently salty. Perhaps the saltiest pad Thai I've had in my life. No kidding. Moreover, how can a Thai restaurant not carry Thai chili (aka Prik Nam). Flavor wise the pad Thai was ok. Yellow curry was ok and like any other average Thai restaurant. Fresh tofu rolls were ok not outstanding. Peanut sauce was not good. Like a paste (and I eat a lot of Thai food). Please take as constructive feedback as I want you to succeed. read more

Just had what I felt was a delightful meal. My wife and I ordered the chicken pad Thai, chicken drunken noodles and cream cheese avocado rangoons. Both of the two stir fry dishes were full of flavor, spice and of great value. I liked the drunken noodles slightly better. We ordered them at the medium spice level. My wife thought the pad Thai was slightly on the spicy side but I felt it was just right. I prefer spicy and compromise for my wife. The rangoons were different. Never have I ever had avocado as an option. I thought it made it fun and unique. It did make the cream cheese a cooler temperature but in my opinion still very tasty. read more

Ordered fresh spring rolls, drunken noodles, and ginger chicken. Ordered both dishes medium. The spice level ordered was medium and in all honesty was pretty much inedible because of the heat. Bear in mind that we love spicy food and have pretty good tolerance for heat. It was spiced to the level of bitterness. The peanut sauce with the spring rolls has a good flavor, but the consistency is thick like pudding. Not sure I will try again. read more

My husband brought home some food from JoyThai, it was SO good - went back a few days later for more. Visited 2/10/26 We dined in, service was great. Definitely a busy area, but our wait time was just right! We ordered quite a few things; Thai crispy rolls Chicken pad Thai Satay chicken (the peanut sauce was cherry on top) 3 flavored fish (so so good, main reason I wanted to come back & eat again. So delicious!!) & I think Tom Yum? Everything was so yummy, we truly enjoyed all the dishes. But my favorites were definitely the 3 Flavored Fish & Tom Yum! Also ordered mango sweet rice for dessert (picture from takeout order), one of my favorites!! & Thai iced tea, first time having it.. so tasty, one of my new favorite beverages read more

We recently moved to the area and I was craving pad Thai so I searched for the closest spot and I'm so glad I did! I ordered at the counter and it was greeted by a wonderfully friendly woman who took my order. I went with the vegetable pad Thai no spice this time didn't wanna get in over my head the first time and cream cheese wantons. The restaurant was clean and comfortably busy with a few tables full by the time I headed out the pads I had great flavor not too sweet and the portion size was bigger than expected. The wontons are a little more done than I prefer but still tasty. I definitely give them another try overall I'd recommend this spot and will be returned. read more

Food was really good. My boyfriend likes super spicy so ask for double Thai hot if that is what you prefer. The food was fresh and the veggies were nice and soft. The fried dumpling app was good. Overall we will definitely be back. Small quaint place and good service. read more

Awesome place to be in the McKinney area, I love their thai food. It's better than I've had in years, the pad thai is something I order almost every time I get this kind of food. My kids enjoyed it too. I can't wait for next time, that's the kind of restaurant this is, when the customer anticipates next time, it's something special! read more

Great service, great food, fast kitchen! Really enjoyed the pad Ke Mow. It was perfectly spicy.

I ordered pad wun sen with beef. I wasn't given beef. I was given pork and it's extremely hard, inedible, and gross. I've been coming here once a week and have never had that experience. I'm very disappointed. This was my favorite place. read more

Very randomly found this place for some take outs. Turn out this place is surprisingly good. The better pad thai I had for years, not overly sweet, great flavor. The basil fried rice is also great, the old fashioned dark soy sauce style, the rice are all evenly coated with the dark soy sauce, tastes like childhood to me. The shrimps are fresh and big in every dish. Overall, the dishes we ordered were very good, flavors are on the heavier side. I love it. Will come back for more. read more

It's a little hole in the wall but the food we're really tasty! I had the pad see ew with shrimp (the shrimps were pretty big), we also got the massaman beef shank (the flavor here was outstanding, it had a strong curry flavor and the shank was very soft) the Sriracha ranch chicken was crispy and soft, it came with a drizzle of ranch sauce on the chicken which added a nice flavor to it! The fresh spring roll was ok, the tofu was kinda hard, not much flavor! Service was quick! If you check in on Yelp, you get a 15% coupon that you can use for your meal! read more

I had the avocado chicken curry, which was amazing! Of course we had to top it off with the purpose macaroons. The service was very good and the food came out quickly. I am gluten-free so there were plenty of options and the server was very helpful. It was our first time here and I will definitely be back!I'm read more

We've driven by this place a few times but tried it for the first time tonight! We ordered online, did takeout and when we got home, everything was still piping hot and DELICIOUS. We ordered the garlic wings, tom yum soup, basil fried rice, pad see ew, yellow curry and mango sticky rice. My kids loved the garlic wings, which were extra crispy and so good. We asked that everything be made mild with little to no-heat spice (we can't handle spicy lol), and they definitely accommodated the request. Everything had great flavor. The ordering and pick-up was super smooth, so we'll definitely be back! read more

I had to try this place because it's the top rated Thai place within a 20min drive from me. The place Is very small, and it has a drive through! We tried a few dishes, the only complaint I had was the Pad Grapow was a little salty for my taste but the Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice were awesome. Combine this will awesome service and the most confident posting of a refund policy I have ever seen I definitely give this place 5 Stars. read more

This is my second time here, and I had to leave a review because I love this place! I have been to many, many Thai places, and the food here was authentic, flavorful, and delicious. The store was bright and clean, and the service was friendly :) I ordered the Green Curry and Tom Yum soup and my boyfriend got the Drunken Noodles. They were all delicious and came out piping hot. My tiny feedback is that the Tom Yum soup was a little bit on the sweeter side. We both got the Garlic Wings as an appetizer, and I loved how crispy and flavorful they were. Would recommend this place, and I am looking forward to taking my family here sometime! read more

I quite liked the Panang Chicken and Satay. Will try more dishes next time. The wait time was long, considering I ordered on a weeknight, but I will try this restaurant again soon. read more

Delicious authentic Thai food consistent and full of flavour. Excellent Basil Fried Rice!

I ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp, chicken and egg. The egg was absolutely no where to be found. I could t taste or see the egg and I paid extra for it. I called and they said they put 2 eggs in there. There's absolutely no way this dish had two eggs in it. The rice was bland and all I could taste was sweetness in it. I asked for medium spice and it was sweet with no spice or flavor. My child who doesn't do eat spicy food tried it and said it was sweet and said maybe I ordered sweet rice instead of spicy. The shrimp was as bland- you can tell they used some frozen shrimp in a bag for this. The chicken was very tough. The garlic wings were good and so was the orange chicken. But it he basil fried rice has been a disappointment for a second time. I was giving it a second chance but don't recommend it. When I called he just said they out eggs when there's no way they did and he would tell them. It almost seemed like he has heard this before and was dismissive. read more

It was my first time here today and I got the pad Thai. It was awesome, exactly what I was craving.

Real crab fried rice. The pad see ew was not my fave, but not bad. Again, real crab fried rice is worth the visit for me alone. Pricey. $31 for a crab rice and a pad see ew. read more

Was greeted by a friendly face when I walked in. Small little restaurant but it still had a good aesthetic. I got the Basil chicken stir fry, regular size Tom Yum soup and Chicken pad Thai. I wasn't a big fan of the basil stir fry. Flavor is kind of there but I tasted something bitter for someone reason. The pad noodles were smaller and thinner than normal so it threw me off. Good flavors but the noodles could've been better or I could added more sauce to be perfect. The Tom yum was so good. Very good flavors and not too sour either. Just perfect. Pricing wasn't too bad but either. read more

Whenever I try a new Thai joint I always go for the drunken noodles for a a baseline of comparison. Vegan tip - always gotta go no egg. Came in about noon on a Friday and no waiting. Food was out quickly as a result. Portion size was good with lots of tofu. Spice level was a little low, realized they never asked how spicy I wanted it. Asked for a little hot sauce and got chili flakes and siracha. Did the trick. Overall food quality was good and flavors (save the missing hot sauce) were great. This is not necessarily my go to Thai place yet - need to try the curries - so will be back to try more for sure. read more

We ordered 2 noodle dishes and a curry for our family of 3 for take out. Everything was delicious! The pad sew ew was perfect for my picky 5 year old who only likes teriyaki chicken. I love how it comes with veggies, especially since the broccoli can soak up the sweet and savory sauce. I ordered the pad Thai with mild spice, but it wasn't spicy at all (I did change the spice level last minute though). I didn't mind the missing spice, because it still was tasty. Our last dish was the yellow curry with chicken. The medium spice on it was definitely there, but an enjoyable heat while you can still taste the flavor of the curry. I appreciated the extra plastic around the container in case the sauce spilled. Joy Thai will definitely be our go-to take out place when we aren't in the mood to cook!! read more

The food was fantastic! And the service was fast. It is a smaller restaurant and it looks like they may be short staffed, so it might be good to call in your order. There are maybe 6-8 tables inside. I was so please with the vegan/vegetarian options we chose. Plus, we had leftovers for lunch! We would definitely eat here again! read more

Consistent food and service~ we've loved everything about Joy Thai Kitchen. Our favorites include the Tom Kha soup and the Avocado Chicken Curry. Thai tea with boba is also pretty good--has a smoky flavor that I've not had anywhere else. Staff has always been friendly and the restaurant has been clean when we've picked up our food. Staff wear masks and there is hand sanitizer available on the counters. read more
