Also, our elegant yet approachable cocktail program combines the flavors of Southeastern Asian cuisine, with a touch of tiki. These cocktails are Must Try’s!!

Joi Bistro at the Domain was a really enjoyable experience from start to finish.
The food absolutely delivered. The lobster tacos were rich and well balanced, the miracle shrimp had great flavor and texture, and the pad Thai was solid, comforting, and clearly made with care. Everything tasted fresh and intentional, the kind of food that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the meal.
What really elevated the visit though was the service. Marina was outstanding. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever hovering. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do, and that energy carries the whole table.
The surprise visit and conversation with Chef John sealed it for us. Thoughtful, personable, and clearly passionate about his craft. That kind of presence matters and it shows pride in both the food and the guests.
Great atmosphere, great people, and food that hits. Joi is doing things the right way and we will absolutely be back.

First and last visit to Joi.
Really disappointed the food and quality did not match the ambiance or service. The place looks great, and the staff were friendly, but the food was overpriced and not fresh.
We ordered the shishito peppers, which came out soggy, and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, which was bland and lacked flavor. I also tried the lobster taco for $18, only to find it was made with imitation lobster meat.
The executive sushi combo lunch was the biggest letdown the fish wasn’t fresh, had a fishy smell, and the sashimi slices were paper thin. The rolls were barely filled with anything. We also ordered the beef bento, and the steak was overcooked, dry, and flavorless.
The only positives were the service and the restaurant’s interior. Sadly, the food was such a disappointment definitely not worth the $160 we spent for lunch.

Got the korean fried chicken, I was very soggy, almost seemed they boiled it instead of frying it.
We got a lot of smaller plates. None of them were really good. The worse one was the beef and broccoli. I think the oil or beef was very old.
The place was the only empty restaurant in the area, I see why.
The server was ok, seemed like she was new.

I stumbled upon JOI Asian Bistro while walking around the area and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! The food was amazing! The Taiwanese Chicken Popcorn was a highlight – crispy, flavorful, and addictive. The Sesame Chicken was also delicious. And the Sun-Kissed drink was refreshing and perfect for a warm day. Our server, Ryan, was top-notch – friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. Overall, JOI Asian Bistro exceeded my expectations and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for tasty Asian cuisine. Can’t wait to come back!

Place was good but customer service was super slow. Served food but no silverware and not even a chopstick. We had to go get it ourselves which was okay. We weren’t informed as well that we had to wait about 30 minutes for the food to be served. I’m Asian but food wasn’t Asian enough. It was okay though. First and last time at this place.

JOI Asian Bistro was an absolute delight to dine at. At first glance it’s a beautiful restaurant with many different seating options catered to how outdoors you would like to be. The checkin process with our reservation was smooth and so was the ordering process.
The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the wagyu beef sliders, braised short ribs, xiao long bao, and pork sabaro ramen. The sliders were great and so were the fries that came alongside it. They could’ve used less vegetables on it so help focus on the beef flavor but it was still good. The xiao long bao was pretty good as well, not as good as it would be at a dedicated dumpling spot but still above what we expected. The best part of the meal was the braised short rib. It was cooked to perfection and was extremely tender and juicy, just phenomenal. Unfortunately the biggest letdown was the ramen. The toppings were fine but the broth itself had zero flavor, almost like it was regular packaged ramen broth.
Outside of the food the staff were great. They got us our orders quick and were incredibly receptive. We ordered a few drinks as well while we were there: the Japanese old fashioned, pineapple inferno, and lychee harmony. All of us liked the flavor of our drinks, although they were stronger than expected.
Cumulatively, JOI is a fun and very good restaurant in The Domain. We were pleasantly surprised by the food although if you are searching for Asian food specifically then this would not be your best bet.

Stopped by last minute right before closing, and the service was incredible. The manager took our order immediately because we knew exactly what we wanted. He seated us where we had a wonderful view. It definitely has a high-end atmosphere—modern, elevated, and perfect for a refined yet relaxed dining experience.
The food? Amazing. The fried rice was $24—a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The servers were incredibly attentive despite the late hour, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed.
Definitely coming back for more!

We had an outstanding experience! The customer service was exceptional—truly a standout. The manager is top-notch and leads a team that is equally impressive. We travel often and have the chance to try a wide range of cuisine, and this place absolutely stands out. The food is not only creative and full of flavor, but it’s hands down the best sushi and dumplings we’ve had in Austin. Highly recommend!

Incompetent staff in the front of house. While the food is generally good, the staff tends to be slow. Mangers sit and talk together while patrons wait unattended. Even the simplest asks take extraordinary long during non-busy hours.

Came to JOI Asian Bistro hoping for a great meal, but the experience fell short. Service was terrible—food and drinks took forever to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy.
The food itself was decent. The spicy chicken and lobster tacos were the highlights, while the tuna sushi was just okay. The decor is nice, but the place lacked energy and atmosphere.
Overall, it didn’t live up to expectations, and with so many great spots in Austin, I may not visit again.
