Joey's Thai Cafe opened today

Joey's Thai Cafe at 195 Elm Street (in front of Willoughby and Baltic) opened today. I haven't had a chance to try the food, but it smelled really good. Their menu is slightly different than Benjapon's, so if you are in the area you should stop by and pick up a new menu. They have delivery from 5-10pm, and will be open Monday through Saturday.

Benjapon's was also closed on Sundays, and I wonder if that's one reason they ultimately failed. I'm surprised Joey is doing the same thing.

Fusion Express was also closed on Sunday, and they did ok, but they also had a liquor license. I believe that owner sold because of health issues.

I think Benjapon (really nice person) wasn't there long enough to say if she would have ultimately been successful. I think she and her family didn't have as much time to commit to the place as they originally thought , and I understand she's getting married so she had some changes happening and wanted more freedom.

Joey's is also family owned, and they seem very friendly.

It is difficult to believe that I've been there seven years and have seen every one of my neighbors change, but I've been very fortunate in always getting good neighbors.

If they don't have those Auntie's Crispy Rolls, I will pretend the place doesn't exist.

(will probably order delivery from them at some point when I'm hungry at work. may post a review here.)

Sorry, just stopped by to check their menu, and Auntie's Crispy Rolls have left the Square forever.

They have "Veggie Rolls" (vegetables, raisins, and glass noodles) and crab rangoon instead.

Menu is mostly the Thai basics with some generic Asian thrown in (like teriyaki chicken). No papaya salad or Thai wraps.

Yes, I used to love the auntie's rolls too. In fact, we served them several times at our art openings. They were always gone within the first fifteen minutes.

Still haven't had a chance to try anything at Joey's yet, but am thinking I'll try the Chicken Teriyaki rice dish this week.
