I'm not gonna front. This place is cheeks. And not the ones on your face. Dead fish in the fish tank. Raw meat laid upon patron tables being handled by uncovered hands. Dirty dingy carpeting. Gum stuck to tables.Boxes piled up. Mildew. The place is buzzing with flies. I've been here more than once and the flies are always there. Flies don't have a long life span so I'm sure there is a constant egg laying, maggot festering pool of sludgy rotted food somewhere that gives them a secure stable of breeding ground. This place is simply put gross. The owner is a selfish prick, who was bold enough to tell me I was lying when I told him my food was soggy and cold, and refused to refund me my money until i put up a relentless fight. I recommend this place to nobody. It deserves to fail and sink into oblivion on the sole fact alone that they give no care into how their food is handled or how their restaurant is displayed. The quality of the food is decent at best. but seeing how they handle it and the sanitary levels of the place will gross you out beyond belief you have to give is a poor score. I will return only to snap photos and upload them to quell...

It was my first time trying this place out today . I went with my husband , my 1 yr old and my parents . Total of 4 adults and 1 baby. I was trying to ask for replenish the tea. Usually in a chinese resturant, when the lid is open , we r asking for refill on the tea. Since our teapot lid was open for some time and they still haven’t refill our tea, so I tried to wave them down to ask for refills. I yelled so loud that other tables were looking . Waiters were still ignoring me. So I open n close the teapot lid constantly to make a sound until they can hear me. Until the waiters acknowledged. When we got our bill, 15% tips were already added to the total. $65.47. We put down $65 cash. After leaving the restaurant, someone from the restaurant rushed out telling us we didn’t pay in full! So I responded her , 47 cents of tips , u asking us on 47 cents and tips is now required when we have less than 7 ppl. Food was bad , $12.99 for a small portion of stir fried noodle . My conclusion is I will not recommend anyone going to this place , food was bad ,...

Well clearly I do not know the different varieties of noodles! How could I because they do not have a description on the online menu. When you click on a menu item, it adds it to your cart instead of having a description. I was craving some wet slimey tasty noodles so I ordered what I thought would be a chow mien or chow fun and ordered "Pan Fried Noodles". I get home with my take out order and noodles are dry & crispy in a separate box from the soup. I wondered if it was like ramen and gets soft with the hot liquid. Nope! Crispy crunchy the whole time. Not bad but NOT at all what I wanted. The broth was really tasty & the soup had shrimp, chicken, carrots & bok choy. The chicken was weird and had a lot of skin & fat so I picked out all the chicken meat. Great service cording online. Ready in 15 minutes and the waitress was really friendly when I went in to pick up- in & out in 10 seconds. I did not take off any stars for my own error, just the chicken. They need to add descriptions for clueless...

SO happy that I found this place during quarantine. I saw a photo of their cheong fun on instagram and was excited that this place was located near me. I've been here countless times since prices are cheap and affordable. They're fast and the food tastes great. Should note that they take cash only, but I think they accept venmo as well. I've tried their cheong fun with shrimp, beef, egg and corn, and liver. All of them have been great and I love this style of cheong fun, where the toppings are on top, rather than inside. I've also tried their pan fried noodles. They kept the sauce and noodles separate which I greatly appreciated. The noodles were fresh and super crispy. Their salt and pepper wings are also full of flavor and a great snack. I would highly recommend this place!

Their beef crispy noodles $17 is not very good. The consistency of the gravy was too watery, as well as too much of it. The crispy noodles quickly became soggy. The beef was not tenderized, chewy and rough. I didn't like pieces of ginger mixed in. Ginger slices are not something that is in Hong Kong style crispy noodles. At least the food came out fast and service was excellent. Joyful Kitchen was busy at 7:30pm on a Wednesday. They were already out of chow fun. Emmy's Restaurant next door is still closed for indoor dining. Maybe that's why Joyful was busy. Joyful is more known for their breakfast dishes and not dinner dishes.

The service attitude of this restaurant is not good at all! Don't go! I used to like eating here, and I also liked to order takeout. I found that the soy sauce of takeout and dine-in is different! I don't recommend you to eat rice rolls here at all. Although the rice rolls are delicious, the soy sauce is very unhygienic! The attitude of the waiter is really not good at all! No smile at all, when giving the bill, he just threw it over, and when serving the food, he treated us like dogs. The waiter came to feed us, put us down and left. The first experience was too bad! Don't go!
