I've already been eating for five minutes and this plate is freaking huge. This place is awesome. 11 bucks for 5 pounds.

Mongolian beef and noodles

Every time, if I have a chance and if I am in Coachella, China Express is a hidden gem, I would always prefer over Panda . I like the people and their food . My favorite Mongolian beef and noodles, and add some hot oli sauce . People should seek this gem out. If there is a await, like on the weekend, it's worth it.

#2 combo with noodles, tso chicken & Mongolian beef (and peanuts).

Great service. Fresh tasting. Clean restaurant. Cashier was very kind. Total came out to 13$ for the whole plate.

This place used to be good. I haven't been here in a few years. I went after work yesterday & it was busy. I waited for a while. A few people waiting for food indoors yesterday were coughing all over & not covering their mouths or wearing masks. Service was friendly. Now to the food....utterly disappointing! The pineapple chicken was always good but yesterday it was bad! It was mostly over fried breading & super dry! The orange chicken wasn't dry but had a strange acidic artificial tasting sauce & the chicken was soggy. Not sure if I'll be back. Really disappointed by yesterday's visit.

Food was pretty good. Not a big fan of the egg rolls. I got sesame chicken, fried rice, and noodles. Plus a side of egg rolls.

Tofu with vegetables

Okay as a vegan it's hard to find places with options. This place has two which is better than none! Their tofu and veggie platter was made fresh to order and is so bomb! A lil spicy but super tasty!! My mother who got chop suet chicken and chow mein was super impressed with the flavor of it all! Something they put in their sauce is just fire. A new favorite go to Chinese spot!

First I have to give a HUGE shout out to the hostess Asia. From the moment my family and I walked…read morein she became the face of Joy, with her beautiful greetings, smile, and just pure "Joy". Pun intended but so perfect for her! We were celebrating my 19 3/4 Birthday (x3 LOL). She seated us in a very quaint, part of the dining area, pleasantly seating each guest. Now on to our server, Tony. He was just as professional and polite and welcoming. He ensured our order, drinks and food were all done in perfect timing. Never left a drink empty and constantly ensured we were pleased with our dining experience. Now onto Asia and Tony both, they shocked me with not only an awesomely delicious chocolate cake, but a card signed by the staff. (Thank God they skipped the singing part, you know at 19 3/4 I'm still shy! LOL). Anyhow, i can't leave out the food-but it will be nothing new I write about their food! DELICIOUS AND AMAZING "A MUST!" Thank you Joy for yet again an amazing experience. We'll be back.

Had a business/pleasure meeting so we decided to meet over Chinese. The person I was meeting…read moresuggested we try JOY Asian Cuisine, the menu looked good so I was game. The restaurant is hard to find in the huge building and we ultimately had to ask directions but that's a minor detail. And if we had come through an entrance closer to the actual restaurant that might have been different. One thing that gave me pause is you can smell cigarette smoke going through the main casino building but thankfully the restaurant air was fresh with no detectable smoke odor. I suspect a positive air-flow system which is good. The restaurant interior is roomy, clean and pleasant with Oriental style decor which is nice. The staff were warm and inviting right from the person that greeted us at the entrance, throughout our meal and just as gracious upon our exit. We were there during the lunch menu which of course is limited but plenty of appealing choices. I ordered Twice cooked pork which though I have made myself I don't recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. My dish was very tasty with plenty of tender pork slices and filling enough I didn't want dessert. My lunch partner had Kung Pao chicken which looked good though I didn't taste, but he thought underwhelming, bland and average at best. If only going by my experience I would have given 5 stars but I have to take into consideration the opinion of my lunch partner for the benefit of anyone reading this review. I would eat there again but not likely anytime soon as it is an unnecessarily long drive when there are plenty of Asian restaurants that I like within my local area. Good but not 60 mile round-trip good.

As I noted last month in my initial review of Thai Hot in Indio, our dishes were really delicious…read moreand generous. In the last two years, since we moved here from Las Vegas, a nine year stint in a town with sweet little Off-Strip gems serving amazing food, we've gathered a list of very cool places to enjoy here in the Valley. Thai Hot is cool when you have takeout meals but in person it is truly amazing. I loved the decor and the very spacious seating design which I love in a restaurant where you want to enjoy conversations. The staff immediately welcomed us. My son was taking us to dinner for my husband's birthday. He swooned over the gorgeous looking sweet and sour sea bass. The fish-shaped plate cradled a colorful sea bass with mangoes and vegetables and of course I tried it. The fish was delicately seasoned and just as you would want it to be, very tender. The presentation alone is just perfect. My husband's wide noodle pad see yew brought just the right magical mixture of tender fresh vegetables to the beef, which of course I sampled. And loved. I've always been a noodle fan so I shared some of my crispy pork and noodle dish around the table. This was really good. I require my broccoli to be a star of the show and yes, it was. The pork belly was plentiful and so great! The staff got busy, and we watched the restaurant fill with groups of all sizes. (We had been first to choose a spot after evening service began.) There were at least 16 takeout delivery customers, each of which was greeted and served promptly. One party of 11 enthusiastic young people were thrilled to have a very organized process from our two servers. I watched the staff bring very hot and beautiful platters all around, meanwhile finding time to check on each table, even from a distance with a smile. The two servers balanced their duties with precision. Now this is professional and represented the restaurant with great style. After previously having heard quite a few other diners remark on the food and the physical setting, now I can see how we are so fortunate to have very lovely small businesses who appreciate the customer. We were so thrilled with dinner, that we could not manage a dessert, so we will return for another experience really soon. The menu has something for everyone. Prices are quite reasonable. Located at the northwest corner of Monroe Street and CA-111, in a strip mall with plenty of parking, it's an easy in and out. (Just be sure to watch your exiting because bicycles frequently pass on 111 right at the driveway.)

Was in town for work and had a lunch meeting. There's another Thai place closer to our hotel that…read morelots of other people were going to so our group decided to venture a little further and go to Thai Hot. We're so glad that we did. The food at Thai Hot was fresh and delicious. Our team had been to Thailand this summer and Thai Hot's flavors brought us back to our time there. We ordered papaya salad, various noodles, curries, rice dishes and soup. We didn't realize there were lunch specials till after we'd ordered. But we'd highly recommend Thai Hot.
