House of Joy - La Crescenta — Restaurant in Glendale

While I don't know exactly when this location opened up, House of Joy has been around for a very long time. Having grown up in Glendale my entire life, I remember having many, many family dinners are the House of Joy on Pacific Ave, and till this day, they are still around. First of all, House of Joy is a Chinese-Korean fusion restaurant, so if you're looking for authentic Chinese food, I'd suggest heading to Chinatown. This place is run by Koreans, but also has a lot to offer. My go-to dish is definitely the Peking Chicken. This is just my opinion, but their Peking Chicken is on par with San Tung's chicken. The chicken is soaked in sweet and spicy sauce and remains crispy for a while. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone. Their jjajjangmyun and jjangppong are also must have's as well. These dishes are what makes or breaks Chinese-Korean fusion restaurants. While House of Joy doesn't make the best jjajjang or jjanpong dishes, I'd say it's pretty solid. While it might be unavoidable given the pandemic, I would try to eat at the restaurant vs doing take-out. Speaking from experience, Chinese food doesn't really travel well so the quality of the food drops after about 15-20 minutes of travel. The only downside to this place would be their interior. It hasn't modernized any of the tables or furniture so the ambiance feels like you're in an old school...

This Korean Chinese fusion restaurant is absolutely amazing. These restaurants are usually known for their jjampong and jjajang. The first is a spicy seafood noodle soup, the second is a black bean sauce noodle soup. Just in case you guys didn't know. This place has the best Chinese Korean fusion in all of LA, including koreatown. I just came back from Korea a month ago and I would have to say this place beats a lot of the places in Korea. The last time I was here at this restaurant was 10 years ago when I was in high school. It was good then and it's good now. I literally had a foodgasm eating at this place today. The service is amazing The food comes out fast and the price is pretty damn good for this time of whatever is going...

Good service. The Mongolian beef is tasty. It's pricey but the service plate is family style and huge. Also got the Peking chicken which is tasty, sweet, and like the different deep fried and stir fried option kinda like orange chicken at Panda Express.

The multiple servers were ALL friendly. They packed our leftovers for us, even though they didn't have to. We stayed really long to eat and talk after, and the staff didn't rush us out. There wasn't anyone waiting to get in.

The reviewer who said this place is weird bc theres a lot of Korean patrons in a Chinese place is ignorant. The place is Chinese style food for Koreans. Often, the owners of places like this are even Chinese people who lived in Korea and speak...
