We had dinner here before a concert in Auckland city, easy quick access to the inner city, meals arrived promptly. Amazing Thai food and the service was really good. Would definitely go back, highly recommended, thanks for a great meal.

Wonderful food and friendly service. Neighbourhood of Mt Eden on MtEden Rd, so perfect for a meal on way home from work, or a Friday night takeaway order. Just as yummy as when they were in Karangahape Road and I lunched there at least once a week. They moved about one and a half years ago. Four customers while I’m here were regulars with orders of their favourites. I see why they get repeat business as food is delicious!

We had our work team Christmas celebration here last night. It was a beautiful place to dine. The food was amazing, tasty and filling.My favorite was the Massamam curry and the chicken fried rice! April, the owner was lovely, friendly and such a great host. We saw lots of other people dining and people picking up takeaway orders. A busy, bustling but efficiently run Restaurant. Highly recommend this place for authentic Thai cuisine.

Went to JoyBong with the family for a celebration and early start to the night. I had high hopes from what I was told and was not disappointed. Thai food is a family favorite and JoyBong deliver with bells on. The menu is extensive and the food simply delicious. There is also an extensive bar, we had cocktails which were on point for our evening. Very well worth dropping in you wont be disappointed. Its also large enought to have large groups. Highly recommended.

We collected delicious takeaway from Joy Bong on New Year’s Day. It was very quiet but they deserve to be busy with the quality of their food. The service was lovely, very straightforward online ordering and a great range on the menu. My two young sons love pad thai and this version got the double thumbs up. Grownups had a red duck curry which was excellent. Id definitely go back.

Very friendly staff that make sure you're comfortable and well fed+watered. My partner has a seafood allergy to certain things and they go out of their way to adapt to your food choices. Keen to go back and try the rest of the menu. Edit: 2024, new place and STILL excellent food served with very friendly and personal service.

BEST PAD THAI IN THE CITY! Joy Bong had recently moved to a more intimate location and some how the food is even better! Not only is it the best husband and wife combo in the city who have owned and operated this legendary business for 10+ years they will always make you feel like family. Service 10/10 and food is the best Thai you will find in Auckland, and trust me I eat out a lot. Jess, Kakapo Business Sales

Lovely experience at what seems like a family run Thai restaurant. Very friendly team. Greeted instantly and despite being busy, we felt well attended to. The food was delicious. Felt like a homemade meal. Asked for spicy level of heat and it was just right. Tried the curry puffs, chicken red curry and garlic pepper chicken. We loved all the dishes! Definitely a local gem!
