The Wok of Joy

"This restaurant is a hidden gem in Telluride. Visiting from San Francisco, I have high standards when it comes to Thai food. The wok of Joy greatly exceeded them."

"Good gluten free options! I got the pad Thai and really enjoyed it, the dinner portion is big enough for 2-3 people! Great value for your money and tasty. Get the spice packet to add some heat!"

"Curry is spicy! Boas are so good! Rolls were great! It’s take out but they have tables to sit at! Thank you:)"

"Nestled just off the main strip of downtown, this low-key takeout spot hits the spot for homemade, authentic Thai food. Chef Joy puts her spin on the menu with daily drink and food specials. I stopped in here twice with my friends during a weeklong stay in Telluride and Chef Joy welcomed us in with open arms! The food is so so good, but be forewarned- things sell out and the food takes time when it gets busy (and it DOES get busy!). You can order ahead online or stop in and order at the counter. This place is technically take-away forward but there is a small informal dining room that has first come first serve seating. I suggest trying the specials and asking for Joy's recommendations! But even if you aren't too adventurous, the Pad Thai will surprise you with its unique flavors! The pricing may seem a little high at first glance, but the portions are hefty and the quality is well worth the price."

"This place is always a surprise with a new menu to enjoy! We love the authentic fresh Thai menu offerings which are original and I must emphasize again FRESH! The spring rolls are freshly made and crispy, the dumplings are like homemade deliciousness, the bao buns AMAZING, and curries and vegetables are all bright and colorful and authentic! This place is a culinary GEM! So grateful to have them in this small town of Telluride! You can’t find Thai food this authentic and original most places in America—and this is from a huge foodie who scouts everywhere she travels for the best Thai food."
