Bites Nearby: Joy's Pattaya Thai Restaurant Offers An Authentic Experience

The owner of Joy’s Pattaya Thai Restaurant received her culinary training while living and working in Thailand. After relocating to Minnesota, she opened a restaurant to bring Richfield residents a taste of the authentic rice and noodle dishes so prevalent in that country.

The beautiful restaurant—located at 7545 Lyndale Ave. S.—features dark wood fixtures, beach-themed art, candle-lit interior and soft Thai music to mentally transport patrons to the beach resorts of Thailand. 

Joy’s serves lunch every weekday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.—featuring $9 entrees with over two dozen varieties to choose from. Happy hour begins after lunch ends and features tempura, gyoza, wontons, soups, spring rolls and drink specials from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The dinner menu features all items from happy hour, crab rolls, fish cake, soups, salads, rice dishes, curry dishes, stir-fries, and noodle dishes with a variety of meat choices to choose from—including chicken, pork, tofu, veggie, beef, duck, shrimp and mock dock. All dinner items are priced under $14 and can be cooked to a diner’s palate for spiciness and taste.
