Review Joy Bong Restaurant & Bar - Auckland Central

Nicole Silvester
Love this restaurant. The food is always so good at a decent price and the atmosphere is always pleasant. Usually go for dinner but went for lunch this time and was impressed with how fast and friendly the service is. Our server was very friendly, happy, attentive to us and was very humorous. Hope to see you again very soon.

Went with a group of 12 for a friend's birthday. We all loved our meals, they came out fast and delicious and with great service. Staff offered to store the bday cake the minute we walked in and surprised us with sparkler candles when it was time to serve. Such a small gesture but really sweet and thoughtful. Will definitely visit again!

Visited here for lunch and the waiter was absolutely friendly. The Pad Thai was good but the volume was not quite enough for me but it was still delicious and fit my flavour.

Stopped by for dinner on a Friday night and didn't have make a booking to get a table. There were a few parties going on so it was a bit loud. We were seated and were promptly given menus and water. After a while going through the menu we were asked if we wanted drinks and if we were ready to order. We had ordered cocktails and food since they sounded really good. Although busy they didn't make us feel rushed throughout the evening. One of the most interesting thing on the menu was a shot of tom yum prawn. Although the other items were more traditional they were also really good. The curry didn't have as much flavour as I was expecting but the tamarind chicken was just amazing. Another thing of note is the glass panel on the floor which shows their wine cellar, located just in front of the reception area. I was also quite surprised at how large the whole restaurant was, as it goes back down to the bar and the toilets. We had ordered 2 entrees and three mains for four people as well as drinks, which came to around $40pp. Be aware that there is a minimum spend per person. Efficient and friendly service along with nice Asian inspired cocktails and delicious Thai food makes this place a nice restaurant to go to.

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.

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.

Had the vegetarian spring rolls and chicken pad Thai. Both were delicious! The ambience and interiors were also cozy and warm. Great for candlelit dinner dates!

We booked for 25 people on a Saturday night when JoyBong was packed. Great, friendly service, good food. No problem with dietary requirements.

Great atmosphere and great food. Plus the team did an absolutely amazing job not only catering for our table of 40, but also for the other 100+ people in the restaurant at the time. Great food, great value and great service. Would highly recommend.

Nice thai restaurant with all the usual thai favourites. Unusually has a glass floor showing the downstairs cellar.

We loved the yellow curry, prawn pad thai and money bags. Service was excellent. The waiter was very accommodaing to our vegetarian friend and made a lot of changes to a standard dish. Would go back again.

This is great for large groups, the atmosphere is awesome and plenty of space. Timing wasn't always the best, it took a while for drinks but the meals came out around the same time. The cocktails are definitely worth a try and are all $16.50, which is not bad for being on the edge of 'town'. The toilets could use expanding, I've never come across a line for the toilets in a restaurant before. Overall though it was pretty good, the food was delicious and the servers were friendly and attentive. Probably the more expensive end of your average Thai place but definitely worth a revisit.
