Streetlevel: Joya Expanding to Fulton Street

When we spotted a changing of the guard at 723 Fulton Street back in October, one commenter stated rather authoritatively that it was going to be “a Thai restaurant brought to you by an operator of a thai restaurant on Court Street south of Atlantic.” Turns out that was right on the mark: Joya, the popular Court Street spot, will be expanding to the Fort Greene location, based upon an application taped up on the plywood shed. Excited?

The food at the Cambodian place was TERRIBLE, though… mostly tasted like bad, bland Chinese takeout. No relation to actual Cambodian food (yes, I’ve been to Cambodia).
Obviously, a big part of the success of Joya and Song is not just that they serve consistently tasty food but that their prices are so reasonable! Our borough really needs more restaurants like this– delicious food priced below $10 (entree). There’s definitely a market for this!
Kudos and much luck wished to the JOYA owners. They are pillars of our community.
Mark and Jennifer say hi!
There is very, very little decent Thai food served in New York City in my opinion. End of story.
I’m sure though that this spot may turn out to be a nice neighborhood place close at hand. The South Asian restaurant didn’t do very well as I remember.
If you want great Thai food served in a restaurant, head to the West Coast or go to Thailand. Make sure you tell the server to hold the sugar! Thai food has been getting progressively sweeter over the years in Thailand which is annoying but considering sugarcane is native to Southeast Asia, I guess it’s not bizarre. Of course, eating tomatoes, baby corn and carrots in Thai food served in Bangkok is a bit annoying to purists!
But of course, even the chili is not native to Southeast Asia, right?
Anyway, looking forward to something decent since the Cambodian place closed (as rundown as it looked…which was kind of “authentic” and the fact that I got food poisoning from the twice)…what happened to the owners? I read about them…didn’t they get screwed and lose their business when they relocated to Manhattan and are now under a mountain of debt?
I’ll chime in with props for Mee Thai — very fresh — tasty noodles and decently priced lunch specials. Great friendly service too.
You’re right about it being noisy and unpleasant, jfss, but attraction with Joya is for delivery. It’s super fast, cheap, and completely satisfying. The curries and spicy noodles are fantastic delivery.
I never saw the attraction with Joya. I find it mediocre, noisy and unpleasant.
Give me a simple,good Mexican here in Fort Greene. Hey Nuevo Mexico, La Superior, or Heche en Dumbo, if any of you are reading this, open a branch here!
Joya is a lot better than Song when the main chef is working. Both are low price for pretty good food.
People should be celebrating on Fulton St.
