The food was hot, fresh, and delicious! This was my first time trying Joy Food and I must say that it was some of the best Chinese Takeout Food that I’ve had in the area. I was craving some Chinese Food and noticed that they had lots of good ratings, so I called in an order for pickup. When I arrived, I noticed that the restaurant was outdated. It’s basically just a whole in the wall, but don’t let that keep you from trying this gem. The people were so friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I ordered the 10 piece Crab Rangoon, a combination dinner of Sweet and Sour Chicken which came with fried rice and a egg roll, a combination dinner of General Tso’s Chicken which also came with fried rice and a egg roll, and a order of Hot and Sour Soup. Like I stated earlier, everything was great and came to a total of $28 and some change. I highly recommend trying this place out next time you’re in the area.

This is no-cap my favorite Chinese place now. The sweet and sour chicken was covered in a light and crispy batter, the egg rolls were delicious, and the fried rice, while simple, was some of the best I’ve had. Will definitely be eating here again!

The rice had a weird odor and after taste as well as the egg roll but the main issue is the horrid stench as soon as you enter . As soon as I smelled it I wanted to just walk out running but I didn’t want to be rude . What I ate of the chicken and broccoli was good and fresh but I just couldn’t get the memory of that horrible smell of the place out of my head . Stay away at all costs

Delicious. Period. Love this place. The wife and I have finally found a new Chinese restaurant after our favorite just wasn’t the same anymore. Crab Rangoon, general tsos, steamed dumplings all of it is always fresh hot and plenty of it. Go here and eat!

I’ve ordered delivery from here multiple times, but went for take out the last time I ordered there and the place smelled like someone had a bowel movement right in the middle of the restaurant. The place was also filthy. The food tasted amazing though before I saw how unsanitary it was inside.

Moved here and wanted to try some takeout. Im vegan and only ever get tofu, and they have a variety of flavors which is refreshing. I ordered delivery and when I received it, I noticed the pieces are huge which seems great but they are also very chewy and look dry. I got general tso and sesame, and both tasted very similar with a really weird sour taste at the end. Was not a fan, so I think I will try somewhere else. The steamed rice was good though.
