Joy Kitchen in Bromley

OH MY DAYS ...I just inhaled THE best pad thai dish of my entire life...run do not walk! I have never felt compelled to write a food review before. I just did the happy kid dance while humming Thailand's national anthem. This was so good I said grace after I ate. This bordered on a spiritual experience... I think I might cry.

Food was not authentic and overheated.

Very happy and great taste ,atmosphere and service .

This is one of those places that are near authentic as you can get to Malaysian cooking. Food is to the point, and always fresh and tasty. The chef can tune the spice level to whatever level you prefer. The staff are lovely and always very helpful. I've been to this place for more than 10x, that's how good the food is here (their tofu Singapore fried rice is a fave of mine). The prices are average and similar to any other restaurants really. Parking can be on the orpington high street, so no issues. Can get really busy during weekends, so book ahead if possible. Recommended.

Went for lunch and it was fairly busy from family's to a lady dining on her own,food was amazing so much to choose from will be making several visits

The food was good and affordable. Although it felt like it was lacking something. I am not sure what it was.

Staff are pleasant and the service was good. Starters were nice, but the mocktails seemed like basic fizzy drinks with a touch of cordial. Food was pretty good, but the beef rengdang was not a beef rengdang. That was so disappointing. Didn't taste of the flavours at all and I've had a few over the years. It was more like a stew with a bit of a kick to it. That was a real let down. I would go again, but I definitely would choose that dish. It was just a bit of a let down.

Food between good to excellent,service with a smile but not enough of them resulting in massive delays such as our drinks came only after our starters and several reminders । However I will go again for the good and reasonable food.

Overall, it was very disappointing. We have eaten in joy kitchen before but food by delivery was not as good. Quick delivery, but the satay was not as expected, just 1 prawn on each stick, and vietnamese rolls were more like the usual spring rolls. Sweet and sour was ok, but egg fried rice was just boiled rice with a bit of egg. Wouldn't order again.

This is as authentic as it can be when it comes to Indonesian food and malay food. Love the taste of it.

I did have joy in this restaurant the food is really tasty and there's ample amounts at reasonable prices. A glass of wine won't break the bank either. My fellow diners were also satisfied.

Nice place to go, Delicious food, friendly staff..

The food was lovely but I was particularly impressed with the es cendol. The service was very attentive and welcoming. I will definitely come again

Absolutely love the red curry and got a taste of the singapore laksa, a decent portion for the price, would go for a second time round.

Very tasty and authentic food. Ignore the slightly tired decor and the grubby menus, the food is excellent. Beef rendang was exceptional and draught Singha as well! Wish I lived nearer!

Delicious food and good service. Enjoyed my dinner.

This is my first time having Indonesian food it was amazing

Crispy duck seems to be not fresh at all. Looks like they have fried it multiple times overtime and so the taste has gone away, moreover, I found chicken bones mixed with duck 2/5 . However, soup was good 4.5/5. Duck rolls 4/5

Food was good, we had a katsu chicken curry, pad Thai and mixed meats with egg fried rice. For starters we had a mixed platter that was £18.50 but we found this very overpriced for what you recieved, not worth it. Will come again to try other dishes, as there was loads to choose from.

Joy Kitchen is my source of JOY! Their food is so tasty and authentic - everything I've tried here is amazing. The only item I'd say they could improve on is the tofu katsu curry. Staff are lovely and prices are amazing for the area!

Satay Chicken, Salt and Chilli Chicken and Bak Kien were tasty as they come Thai Green Curry Chicken and Singapore Noodles Prawn and Chicken were delicious. Along with Siu Mai Would return Prices seem keen and for drinks, pint Cobra £5 is good

I found the food overall mediocre. It felt like this was more quantity than quality and I would have preferred less volume of food and better quality. My friend commented that the chicken felt rubbery and my sweet and sour left a strange after taste. The food didn’t feel fresh. I would think there’s potential if they focussed on a better quality, lower portion size and fresher meals.

Our first visit at this restaurant, the starter was abit disappointing , but the mains, cocktails were lovely, and the service was excellent.

great atmosphere, lovely food, overall amazing experience would come again, excellent service

Lovely waiter and service from Rhaeniel

Been a weekly customer since the first visit! Phenomenal food at a very affordable price. Great service. Highly recommended!

Be careful ordering from this restaurant. I had chicken bones in the cashew wok dish and a small thin sharp piece of metal in the pho which luckily I found before consuming. I called the restaurant to make a complaint and all they could say is sorry, the woman I spoke with didn’t even sound shocked like it is something they are used to hear. Avoid.

Excellent food but need a renovation or moderation

Very tasty food and friendly staff. I had the chicken kway towe which was very good.

Good place to try out South East Asian food. I prefer having malaysian chicken curry, singapore fried rice, chicken basil and red thai curry. Some of the starters are also nice.

A hidden little gem! Really, really good. We love southeast Asian food and found this place by coincidence while cruising Orpington. The green Thai curry I ordered was excellent and the Wonton soup was hearty and full of balanced flavors. The mixed starter platter nice, but next time I will order the delicious soup as starter instead

Had a great night at Joy kitchen. Service was good. Food was phenomenal. Really enjoyed every mouthful. We will return!

Poor service. Accepted our order, then cancelled over an hour later without reason, too late to order anywhere else. Won't be using them again

The food is lovely,not very oily .Customer service Is really good

Great selection of Asian food not found in other restaurants

Lovely interior and piano music, everything came out in a timely manner, waiters really nice and attentive, food is really delicious and just the right portion! Drinks also really nice!!

Loved the food at Joy Kitchen, Jasmine is the kindest waitress.

Nice atmosphere and great food definitely would recommend this restaurant

This place is a hidden gem in Orpington and deserved to be known. We went there 3 times already and they were able to maintain the quality of their dishes. We’d recommend their Indonesian/ Malaysian dishes, such as Indonesian fried rice and roti.

The food was incredible! I will say it was very spicy but I still enjoyed the food and I'm sure others would as well. The service was quick and we were able to take our food home

A new fave of mine. Nasi goreng and the cang kung are so tasty and delicious

Serving some of the more popular Malaysian, Thai and Chinese dishes, the food is good and portion sizes good. A nice touch is that they put the chilli powder on the side of dishes for you to mix yourself depending on how spicy you want it. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere comfortable. Even though it falls short of a 5 star, I wouldn't hesitate coming back here again.

Really nice authentic south east Asian food. We had a selection of Thai, Vietnamese and Malaysian food - all very nice. Only small criticism is to include a dip with the dumplings - other than that 10/10.

Vriendelijk personeel en erg lekker gegeten.

Amazing place to get authentic South East Asian cuisine! Reminds me of home. My favourite dishes to get are nasi goreng, beef rawon and cashewnut chicken.

Reasonably price with delicious food that out of this world.

I spent a lot of time working in the Netherlands and acquired a taste for SE Asian food which is quite limited in London apart from a couple of restaurants in town. So I was delighted when Joy Kitchen opened locally. The food is excellent, the owners and staff very welcoming and friendly and they have survived lockdown etc. which is a measure of their quality. I always notice the number of Asian people dining there which is always a good indicator. For anyone who likes this type of food I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Never tried here before so only orderd small. Been living here 6 years and asking myself why i hadn't tried here sooner its delicious oh my and the roti with the sauce 🤌🏻. Will be ordering again when i get the chance Thank you joy kitchen.

Shocking is all I can say, the food was adequate, having been to Thailand and eaten and loved the food this was nothing like authentic Thai food. Service was shocking. Advice stick to take away only. Left having not received 3 of our meals.”

Beef Ho Fan tasted like a burnt wok and had burn bits in it, not enough seasoning and taste aside from burnt. Malaysian and Thai Red Curry sauce are incredibly watery, with hardly any chicken or veg in it. Not impressed with the quality of the food. Joy kitchen did not bring joy.

It's food of animal not for human being

Very attentive service and good food dining in, but the quality is lacking with the takeaway service - on 2 occasions we’ve been delivered takeaway orders of overcooked rice dishes (nasi goreng). Do yourself a favour and eat in!

The katsu tofu curry was delicious. Also, the special fried rice with King Prawns. Kids enjoyed the satay chicken skewers and vanille ice cream

All of the food was absolutely incredible! Our table of 3 enjoyed the hot and sour soup and the Vietnamese spring rolls to start off, followed by the tofu pad Thai, pho with chicken and the beef ho fun. Happily satisfied, definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Just went there today for lunch. All I had was Egg Fried Rice. Although minimal I have to say, that was one of the blandest Egg Fried Rice I've had. No idea how this place is rated 4.8 out of 5. Bless the young guy at the counter but he didnt even know the menu prices. Then I enquired about a Prawn Fried Rice... I have to laugh but £11.95 😂 But back to the Egg Fried Rice luckily it was only £2.95 but I have to give it 4 out of 10. Minimal flavour, no love, no passion, portion size didnt even fill the container. Utterly disappointing.

Finest Kind! Deep fried butterfly king prawns and katsu chicken very tasty!

Delicious food and friendly staff! The Roti was the best we've had since our trip to Malaysia a few years ago, and everything was tasty and well presented. Would definitely recommend!

After many years of visiting to many other places, finally, walked out with satisfaction from this wonderful restaurant. Reasonable price with pleasant service. Food been served on time. Best Singapore Vermicelli. Thank you for the pleasant experience 🙏😊

Takeout - tasted re-heated, runny katsu, dry rice, dry chicken - clearly not fresh, low quality, lifeless (gave them a 2nd chance after previous disappointment and I regret it..)

Service was good,reasonable priced. Good Portion size. I love the southeast Asian cuisine , Laksa, chicken satay skewers and Roti with curry dip were good. the salt and pepper squid, Tom yum prawns rice noodles were not recommended. I Cannot taste the salt and pepper in squid ( or maybe you can request more?), Tom yum soup rice noodles taste like tomato soup with some chilies, maybe it’s original Tom yum but I prefer the Thai style if you don’t see it as Tom yum soup then it tastes ok just because it’s not the Tom yum soup that I normally have. We had the Teh tarik but it tasted very chocolatey. Overall was good. Will still come back for More laksa 😊

Best Asian food in Orpington. Fried Rice, Chili paste and Home made spring rolls so good. You can ask them to make it HOT and SPICY!!! Will come back here everyday if I can 😋😋😋

Fabulous food. Highly recommended. Friendly staff.We will be back.

Better quality than competition, the prices are almost double and portions are modest.

Proper SE Asian restaurant in the south east !

Very nice food- amazing starters

Delicious food highly recommend

Very disappointed with the food I won't be back

Delicious food, friendly staff & very good service.

Great food at a very reasonable price.

Dined here last night as a party of eight. The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Very friendly service. I have not tasted a better Beef Rendang outside of Malaysia, a country that I have visited many times.

Fantastic local family run business! Food was so fresh and was full of flavour! Really friendly atmosphere and great prices for such top quality service Will definitely be returning

Recommended by a friend, it’s very tasty, very authentic south East Asian food. Service was excellent, place is clean, very very happy.

Came here for the first time. We decided to eat in. The place was nice and clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The food came at a decent time and most importantly was pretty good! Happy customer, will come again!

I ordered a Vegetable pad Thai there this afternoon for takeaway and it was absolutely delicious, one of the best ones I’ve had in a long time. It had plenty of flavour and the portion was a decent size. Will definitely come back again

Best restaurant experience in Orpington. Food came in time. Well cooked , excellent quantity and quality. Spacious restaurant. Not too crowded.Friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Definitely visiting again

Great place great food great staff

Food comes in time. Well cooked and tasty. Friendly staff (don't get that often) good to have that here. Very amazing cocktails, in my words. Also, I'm not one to leave reviews unless they are super super good or I'm making a complaint as they help others not to go there... to avoid stories that touch the heart. Thank you JoyKitchen for your services. We enjoyed ourselves much!!!! See you all again soon.

The food was great and the customer service was even better.

Plenty to choose from. Restaurant clean, well presented, & tables well distanced. Staff very polite & couldn't be more helpful. No long waiting for food, particularly as the restaurant was filling up quite nicely early. Good mix of 'happy' 😉 diners.

The laksa noddle soup was delicious

Delicious food and amazing service, the Singapore Fried Rice and Noodles are both 300% worth it!

Very nice food and the beef randang is always a winner

We have been eating at Joy for several years now and the food has always been excellent and the service friendly and efficient. Today we ordered takeaways to celebrate a family birthday. The food was so tasty and great helpings. It was a real treat and we can’t wait to be able to go back to the actual restaurant. Really pleased that the owners have managed to survive during these very difficult times.

Joy Kitchen is wonderful. Lovely food, great authentic taste: an interesting menu with lots of choice. We discovered Es Cendol, which is now a family favourite. Friendly staff. Good location – you can park nearby, for free, in Tesco. We went there quite a few times before lockdown and enjoyed the restaurant. Now takeaway through this period, but the quality of the food is still as good.

Really great food. Feels very authentic and friendly attentive staff. Loved it!!

Authentic food and brilliant service . I am from Malaysia, a big foodie person , I will recommend Joy Kitchen Compared to other ‘“ authentic Asian / regional food “ Donny the owner is excellent! As a foodie I will travel 1 hour for food, but I eventually realised I have one locally !!!!

Amazing food (felt like homemade food) and very friendly staff. I tried out a dessert called 'es cendol' for the first time and it was delicious! Definitely recommend a visit.

Food is lovely. Worth the money we spent during my sister inlaw birthday

Spectacular Southeast asian restaurant, great service from start to finish, delicious cocktails and amazing food. Their curries are so flavourful its a must visit

Ordered a rendang beef with rice tonight for takeaway. Turn out only 1/3 of the take away box is full and only 5 pieces of beef inside the box. Taste is okay but 11.55 pound is too expensive.

This place is worth giving a shot. They serve large portions for convenient prices. Regularly well kept and with great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I ordered the Malaysian chicken curry and the salt, pepper and chilli squid as a takeaway. There is noting Malaysian about the curry, it’s just chicken breast in a “curry” soup. They also added potatoes to the curry which is not standard of Malay cuisine. Maybe trying to mop up excess salt? The squid was disappointing too, just frozen deep fried squid that had been overcooked. The salt, pepper, chilli and onion mix was just tossed absentmindedly over the squid. You’re better off ordering at Sun Moon Lake, their food is better seasoned and closer to “authentic” Asian food for a takeaway in orpington.

Vinimos aquí hace un año y la comida y el servicio fueron excelentes, pero esta noche sentimos que el servicio fue terrible. Habíamos reservado en línea y cuando llegamos nos llevaron a nuestra mesa. Sin embargo, luego nos ignoraron durante un tiempo y, al final, después de intentar desesperadamente detener a un servidor, logramos pedir bebidas. La velada continuó en esta línea sin que nadie viniera a pedir nuestra comida o luego nos preguntara si queríamos más bebidas. En cada ocasión, durante la noche, teníamos que llamar constantemente a un servidor para que viniera a nosotros, lo cual no fue fácil, ya que seguían caminando sin mirarnos.Una decepción, ya que el servicio la última vez fue excelente. El restaurante estaba medio lleno y había muchos camareros, por lo que no podíamos entender por qué el servicio era deficiente. Me temo que tendremos cuidado de ir allí en el futuro.

Great little resturant, parking is best in the Tescos around the corner. Food was delicious and service was great.

Sadly a very disappointing takeaway. Spring rolls were soft and soggy, chicken satay was dry and Malaysian curry was bland and very salty. Prices were too high considering the quality. The ribs were the only redeeming feature.

Love the beef rendang here .. great place

Ordered the red curry, pad Thai and the mixed starter. We were disappointed with the starter. The chicken satay was chewy, and everything else on the platter was quite oily. The red curry came with rice. Very authentic flavours and quite chilly. Enjoyed it. The pad Thai was very nice.

Pedí comida para llevar durante el encierro que llegó a casi 40 y estaba un poco confundido cuando el conductor de la entrega me entregó una pequeña bolsa ligera. Faltaba un arroz y, en general, aunque la comida era deliciosa, no había mucho allí. Después nos moríamos de hambre. Tan decepcionado después de esperar toda la semana por nuestra comida para llevar, definitivamente no volveré.

We visit Joy regularly, at least twice a month. The food is consistently excellent and the service friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit. Explore the menu as well, lots of really tasty food that you might not normally come across, the soups are great, curry laska particularly so.

The food is lovely, always hot, presented nicely and the staff are very courteous. What I also love is the fact nothing is greasy and always seems freshly made..the duck spring rolls are great even the prawn crackers seem home made..Great place not pretentious just nice..
