It is a quaint restaurant but they are busy with takeout orders. The Green Curry was recommended to me and I requested Thai Spicy. The curry was spectacular but it wasn't nearly spicy enough. Don't be afraid to kick up the spice a notch if people ask for it. read more

Been here a few times. Food is always fresh and delicious. A homey meal. Truly a lil gem. Menu not huge but they make everything good.

It was smooth and fast ordering take out. Food was fresh tasting! Spice level was accurate...medium was just right. Packing was very good, no chance for leaking. Dining room was very clean. Not too expensive. We enjoyed it very much! read more

My absolute favorite Thai spot. We love the yellow curry and the appetizer of curry puffs with the sauce it comes with is simply addicting. I love the pad Thai and the meals always come out hot, consistent, and delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough!!! read more

The food was amazing!!! I'm so happy I found this place closer to where we live. I normally go to a place in Addison but I have found my new go to!! The young lady greeted me right away and made sure I was well taken care of during my stay. The inside is calm and beautifully decorated. Will return very soon!! read more

We were in the neighborhood and searched for restaurants and this caught our attention. The 5 Star rating was encouraging and placed a pickup order for Spicy Wontons, Pad Thai (vegetarian), and Spicy Basil Chicken. It was a 7-minute drive for us to the restaurant and the food was ready when we got there. Everything had a good flavor and was not spicy, but the dish that stood out was the Spicy Wontons. The wontons were perfectly steamed and the sauce had a tangy and spicy flavor with a distinct flavor of burnt garlic. The food is fresh and the portion sizes are reasonable for the price you pay. One suggestion. Please offer a choice of spice levels for people who like some heat. read more

Speedy kitchen, friendly service. Generous portions of protein in fried rice dishes. Curry a bit too sweet. Crispy tofu and wings appetizers are excellent. Not sure if their peanut sauce is home-made, but definitely better than and not the same as the generic ones in other Thai restaurants. Place is more for to-go orders, but dine-in is a better choice if you want to try their appetizers. read more

Ordered delivery. It was fine. I don't care for the food to come in cardboard containers versus the reusable Tupperware. It wasn't very hot by the time it got to us which I think is due to the car board. Ordered pad se ewe. Very meager on the broccoli. Mostly short noodles and light on the egg. I asked for medium spice and there was really nothing. Ordered spicy wonton appetizer that was in a Szechuan sauce but tasted mostly salty no actual flavor. I've had better and wouldn't order again. read more

Great food. Great service. Take away was also very fast! Yummy food. Great customer service.

Shrimp Pad Thai was delicious . I usually have Pad Thai the first time at a Thai restaurant and this was among the best I've had. Food was prepared quickly and staff was friendly. Prices were fair. read more

Joythai Kitchen - Shrimp Pad Thai - delicious! - Thai Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

We did delivery. They were supposed to call or text they left the food at door. Neither happened and we waited until finally had to go to car and it was sitting there. I idea how long. Food. The Tom Kao soup wasn't tasty and very bland. The potatoes were large pieces not totally cooked (raw) not to mention somewhat green. Disappointing after reading the reviews. Chicken Satays were also bland. Peanut sauce helped. The yellow curry was boring and again the potatoes were as described above. Overall a huge disappointment. Maybe a bad night in kitchen but seriously need to check quality before sending out. read more

The service was friendly, but the food seemed like it was prepared a few hours before we actually ate it. The Rangoon's were nothing special with avocado instead of cream cheese. read more

Food is terrible Food is terrible We tried only take out so no opinion on service We tried only take out so no opinion on ambiance read more

Been here a few times for take out and dine in. Their food and service is always great. Prices are good and the portions are plentiful.

THOUGH NOT MICHELINE RATED, JOY THAI IS AN EXCELLENT RESTAURANT THAT IS WORTH A DETOUR TO VISIT! While it would be equally at home in Chelsea Market on 14th Street in NYC, Joy Thai is located in a strip mall in McKinney, next to a Vape shop and Boba Tea establishment. Tastefully decorated in a modern style, it's a perfect backdrop for an intimate date or lunch with friends. The service is excellent, the food is fresh and the curries and sauces accompanying each dish are inspiring. My favorite dishes would be the Panang Curry and an order of Vegetable Spring Rolls, though there is not a bad item on the menu. As a word of caution, though I enjoy spicy food, I usually order the curry dishes "mild" as "Thai Spicy" is not for the faint of heart! When ordering pick-up on-line, the food is ready when indicated and still hot when picked-up. Whether dine-in, or take-out, Joy Thai is a gem worth exploring! read more

I couldn't be more excited to have an actually GOOD Thai food place near my house. Me and my husband ordered the drunken noodles with chicken (medium) and it was amazing! Chicken was moist and flavorful. We love the grapow it was sooo good. If you're a person who can do medium spicy make sure you get the lowest of the spicy because they don't mess around with spicy, they even have a Thai spicy. I can't imagine how hot that is read more

Delicious! This makes me so happy to have yet another great restaurant nearby. We ordered drunken noodles with chicken medium spicy. If you can't handle the heat don't order medium. I love some spice and will order it this way again but my mouth was on fire. Those noodles sopped up all of that spice. We also ordered the fried chicken wings spicy and they were amazing. The dry rub has a delicious flavor and the sauce they serve with them is sweet with a hint of lime. Perfect pairing. The last item we ordered was yellow curry with chicken and brown rice - hot. Not very spicy but the flavor is very good. Welcome to the neighborhood! We are very happy you are here. We can't wait to try other items on your menu. read more

Joythai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

Best Thai food in Texas! Food is fresh and delicious -- we had the Tom Kha, which was flavorful and creamy, the avocado pot stickers were like crabless Rangoons of awesome and the pineapple fried rice was perfect with large pieces of chicken. It seems that they are primarily a to-go location but we were able to snag a table to eat in. Service was quick and friendly. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

This restaurant is great! The Pad Thai is very flavorful with plentiful veggies that taste very fresh. I ordered 2 stars for spice level and it was pretty spicy but in a good way. We also ordered the Pad See Ew and that was also full of vibrant tastes. The portion size is definitely enough for two meals which is a great value. Overall we will definitely order from here again and you should too! read more

Joythai Kitchen - Phad Thai with Vegetables - Thai Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

See all

Tried Joy Thai Kitchen for lunch and had the drunken noodle with shrimp and the garlic chicken wings. The flavor in the drunken noodle was spot on and so good. The garlic chicken wings come with two sauces to dip them in and also have crunchy bits of fried garlic on top also so delicious. read more

We're gotten take out a few times. The food is great; pad Thai, drunken noodles, curry all good. One issue is the heat level is inconsistent maybe it depends on the chef. We typically get 3 or 4 out of five at other Thai places. Our first time we got four it was flavorful but VERY spicy. Next time we got level 3 and it had no spice no flavor. Also the chicken there does not taste fresh, very dry and chewy. read more

This place is cozy and people are friendly. My favorite is the Tom Yum Soup w shrimp, Crab meat fried rice, the spicy wings, 3 favor fish. I think all of the dishes are great as well. I ordered my party size trays from them every week for my Xmas Party. I caught myself keep ordering the same few things every time. I'm gonna try other dishes next time. It's a blessing they are so close to my house, I can go there anytime I want. If you never had any Thai food, what are you waiting for , go check them out! read more

Love this tiny joint. It's close to home and the food is great! I have done both dine in and take out here and have not been disappointed. The people that work there are very helpful and nice. read more

Quick service and tasty food. Mine was a little too salty for my taste, but hubby liked his. Be cautious if you ask for spicy; it means very spicy. Hubby usually has a high tolerance for spice and said it was almost too spicy even for him. read more

Ordered 4 dishes, all are salty, I guess they used too much dark sauce! Won't go back!

Food's okay (like most Thai restaurants). The price is a dollar or three higher than the other comparable restaurants but I am okay with that as they are close to home. I have ordered from here several times and found everything to be fine except their Pad Thai. Others may disagree but I didn't like it much. They use thin noodles and they were all very lumpy and light on every other ingredient that was supposed to be there. The next time they took the order wrong on the spice level and when I called them to complain it took them a long time even to apologize let alone do something about it. Go here if you don't have any other place to go else it's regular fare, nothing special. read more

Today was my first visit. We shared the drunken noodles and the Kao Mun Kai. Both were very flavorful. The portion size was generous but more importantly the flavors were amazing. We order Kao Mun Kai based on the employees recommendation and we loved the ginger and the sauce. We will visit again. read more

Excellent Thai food. Good service, clean and yummy food. We started with the crispy rolls and dipped them in the spicy wonton sauce. We accidentally ordered the chicken Basil fried rice and we were very happy with it. The boba in the very sweet Thai ice tea was a bit too firm for my liking but that is just our preference. If they ever open up in Sherman, we would come every week!! Hint, hint, hint read more

Have gotten takeout twice- we all (vegetarian and non vegetarian, old and young) loved it.

Their drunken noodles are still probably my favorite meal of all time. I could eat them just about every day. They are SO good. However, the last 2 times I ordered it with shrimp it was questionable. Last time, the shrimp was so mushy I was scared I was going to get food poisoning. I honestly don't know why I continued to eat it. It didn't taste like any shrimp I've ever had before. It was scary. This time, some were okay and some were very mushy. It's a texture thing. They might be thawing them oddly? Not sure. The last 2 shrimp orders were months apart though, so it's not like it could have just been a bad batch. I may stick to tofu from now on. Which is a shame (even though I love tofu) since their shrimp is so jumbo and they give you so much. But it's just not the same as it once was. They've also added more tea flavors since my previous review and I finally tried the mango OG as well. The mango was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too sweet how it came. I had to brew an entire gallon of my own black tea and mix it to cut the sweetness and even then it was still strong and sweet. But the Okinawa brown sugar milk tea with boba is sooooooooooooooo good. Pretty sure their drunken noods & Okinawa tea would be my pick for death row meal, but I don't plan to ever find out lol. read more

This place is amazing. I ordered the basil eggplant with tofu and asked that it be spicy. Normally when you order spicy at Thai places, they don't make it spicy, but they definitely did here. I think I drank 3 glasses of water by the time I was done. The lady who waited on me was super friendly and attentive. I live about 45 minutes away so I can't regularly eat here, but if you're more local, definitely try them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Nice food. Regular thai restaurant but because they are one of the only in the area, it's pretty pricey. I ordered to go so can't speak on ambiance. read more

Great food. Luv their dishes. Haven't had anything that wasn't good Great friendly service. Quick pickup or dine in have been great experiences read more

We order at least 2x a month for the last 12 months. Always fast- hot and fresh! Family counts on this to deliver and they do! Only recommendation is to use longer grain rice for the fried rice. The family calls the restaurant "Little Rice" but it's still grrreat! Lol read more

I love joy Thai so much their drunken noodles always brings me so much happiness. I also love their potstickers! It's a must try. I go there all the time. read more

Ordered takeout here on a Saturday at lunch. It is very near my house and I love Thai food so was looking forward to trying it, and hoping for the best. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Green Curry w/ Fried Tofu, House Chicken Fried Rice, Thai Crispy Spring Roll and Tom Kah Chicken soup. The rolls were crisp and the soup was loaded with mushrooms and chicken, the flavor was the right hot sweet balance. My main complaint about all the chicken dishes is they used the exact same saltine shaped (and sized) pieces of white meat chicken in every dish. They were a bit overcooked, tough and bland which detracted from the fresh made appeal of good Thai food I like. They are relatively new so I will let them learn a while and try it again. 4 stars is too high and 3 is too low, so I erred on the positive side. read more

Tried this place for the first time yesterday and it is SO GOOD! We just moved to the neighborhood and are so happy to have a good takeout place within minutes of our home The yellow curry is amazing! read more

Good food and the serving size isn't bad either. Definitely a go to for sure and it's closer to my home.

Very good Basil Fried Rice w/chicken. Only thing is, that they start closing early so you can't dine in through their listed hours of operation. At least an hour before closing, they went to takeout only. But, recommend for to-go regardless. read more

So delicious. We tried 2 different curries, and multiple items, boba Thai tea and everything was delicious. Very well wrapped for delivery, arrived hot and no spills. read more
