Spicy Joi
Spicy Joi in Concord has earned recognition as the Bay Area's most committed advocate for Lao cuisine, with chef-owner Phengkhane 'Joi' Simmaly cooking a menu built around the pungent, smoke-forward flavors of Laotian tradition. Located at 1687 Willow Pass Road, it is the kind of place the San Francisco Chronicle singles out when the conversation turns to underrepresented Southeast Asian cooking in Northern California.
