Joy Hotel Restaurant
Joy Restaurant
A long-standing Kolonia restaurant that opened in the 1970s, known for its Joy bento with fresh sliced tuna sashimi and a first choice for locals, expats and visitors at lunch.
Located on the first floor of the Joy Hotel, this restaurant is run by a Japanese Suzuki family and serves Pohnpeian-style Japanese food. The signature 'Joy Lunch' (called Joy Dinner in the evening) is a bento box set with fried fish, tuna sashimi, miso or seaweed soup, rice and cabbage salad. The sashimi is considered the freshest in town. Also available are udon, sushi, tonkatsu, teriyaki chicken and tuna omelet. It is almost always full at lunch, so arrive before 11:30 a.m. Prices are affordable, and it is within walking distance on Ohmine Street in downtown Kolonia.
