Joy's Pattaya Thai Restaurant

Will not be coming back, period.
The only saving grace here was the food and cleanliness was decent. However this was greatly overshadowed by horrible service. Even before I stepped out of the car, the chef was right out the back door smoking a cigarette which I thought was very unprofessional. When I walked in the front door, it was as if I was intruding into someone's house. I got a "Can I help you?" as if I was lost. The rest of the experience was just as poor from a customer service standpoint. I've been to many Asian restaurants and I always feel they are typically nicer then American cuisine but this was the exact opposite. Too bad.

Experience #1:
Terrible Service:
*Forgot to light our candles-we were the only ones forgotten
*Forgot our complementary towels to wipe our hands with
*Food came in 30 minutes

Experience #2:
*Friend said her chicken looked like guinea pig meat
*Friends didn't like food and they give us egg rolls on the house

*****In all my visits there, they always treated us with less respect than the white people who came to dine. They were quick to their needs and all smiles. Not so much for us.

Food is not worth it.
Even Noodles & Company is better

This is hands down the worst Thai food I've had!  I came in from out of town and wanted to show my family how amazing Thai food is, however, this went horribly wrong.  I suggested that my family try the more popular dishes such as Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, etc.  All six of us ordered something different. No one ate more than 1/4 of their food, my mothers mouth was burning from the spices on a dish that was not supposed to be spicy (shes a spicy food lover and can take anything), my brother's dish was so salty that he downed 4+ glasses of water and my dish was full of over cooked soggy vegetables.  There was one glimmer of hope and that was the fried spring rolls... those were a hit!  

Aside from the horrible food, the staff was sub-par.  Slow on service and short in the smile department.  This was not only a culinary disaster but a personal one as well... my family has refused to eat anything I've suggested now for the past two months.  

If you're looking for amazing thai in Minneapolis... Chiang Mai Thai is an absolute must!
