Experts' Choice Award Hot Joy
What the experts agree on
Hot Joy's adventurous Asian menu doesn't play it safe—twice-fried wings with crab fat caramel and bold pork belly dishes prove the point. Ramen Mondays draw crowds, and the cocktail program keeps things buzzy.
“Twice-fried chicken wings with crab fat caramel are addicting, while a pork belly dish with black curry and pork blood only sounds (and looks) scary. ”
