Nice, Good Joy has been a favorite ever since the Chinese spot across the street from my place closed. It may not be the prettiest spot, but it's definitely one of the tastiest for the price. The menu has a solid variety of classic Chinese takeout at decent prices. My go-tos are the General Tso's fish and the scallops--always flavorful and satisfying. As a busy neighborhood takeout, they do what matters most: the food is well packed, hot, and seasoned just right--balanced spice, sweetness, and savory flavor. I usually call in and get delivery, but today I stopped in to order. The place was packed with about a dozen people ahead of me, yet my food was ready in 20 minutes. Once home, everything was fresh, tasty, and generously portioned. Flat roll in pull open door makes accessibility easy. I'll definitely keep enjoying--and supporting--this neighborhood gem. read more

Looking forward to some good New York Chinese food, I decided to get some takeaway from Good Joy, mainly because it was nearby. The place is dark and dirty, but oh well, I'm here now. Service was good, I was able to order quickly and the food was ready quickly as well. Pricing was pretty good for Brooklyn. Took it home and tried it. Everything was pretty bland and mushy. No joy at Good Joy. read more

The best dumplings I've ever had. Chicken in chicken and vegetable dishes is so good but portions are off.

My son loves this restaurant for some reason they rice seem lighter than others and they always fresh with the platters . My son give its a 10 lol read more

I am disgusted with the service here. I have been ordering Chinese food from here through DoorDash for the past sixth months or so, and it's been okay until today. Earlier this week I ordered shrimp and broccoli and the shrimp reeked like it was old and tasted awful. I have ordered this a few times and never before this week have I had this issue with the food not tasting fresh. Today I ordered three orders of chicken wings and was charged $18.00 for it along with the rest of my order that totaled $59.27 with door dash fees $65.75. When the delivery came two orders of chicken of chicken were missing. I called to ask for the other two orders to be brought as I would any other place if food was missing that I paid for. I call back and they were arguing with me unreasonably, yelling through the phone two women that it was one order because on their receipt it said $6.00. Itsaid and they sent me the receipt said 3x chicken wings ($6.00) six bucks each, which is what I paid for and what I was charged for each of the 3 orders of wings total $18.00. Not only was I screamed at like crazy while trying to explain I had paid for three orders but then once said it's alright I'm not ordering from here again they kept calling back harassing me. Several times they called back and each time I answered no thank you after they stated they would send the wings. This may be because frequently I ordered from here but as I said as of late the service has fallen off and so has the food and the freshness and taste. Now the chicken wings are very small and the rice has no taste. Also the shrimp that was sent a few days ago for a shrimp and broccoli order was bad and I had to throw it out instead of being able to eat it. read more

Good Joy - They texted me this photo. See 3x A1. Fried Chicken wings - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

The worst rude and they will over charge kids Ann's keep their change the food does not taste good

Solid go-to for chow fun and spare ribs, not the greatest for seafood dishes but not the worst either. Will probably try more dishes at some point. Always friendly with great service, too! read more

Usually don't have any issues, quality is what you should expect based on low prices. But this week's order and the experience was unbelievable - the shrimp was very fishy, as if it went bad and they undercooked it. Ok sure, fine - I didn't eat it and I'm trying to give restaurants benefit of doubt when they're busy especially during COVID. But I also waited over an hour to get my food because they didn't agree that I had placed my order online and had already paid online and were asking me to pay again. Then they call me HOURS later and scream at me on why I cancelled my order AFTER I PICKED IT UP (so why and how would have I cancelled my entire order?) with no explanation - just picked up and started being aggressive and you could hear the other woman yelling in the background. Never again. read more

We all know that these Chinese food joints do not serve authentic and do enough justice to the traditional, savory, mouth watering Chinese food. Right? right??? I told my boyfriend that we are going to have Bad Chinese food for dinner. Because for some odd reason I'm a sucker for orange chicken/general Tsao (come on.... they all taste the same). So bf popped up Good Joy on menupages.com while I came rushing in to the room with the lame junk flyers other Bad Chinese food kitchens. Good Joy was slightly pricier than others in the are (by .50 to 1 dollar or so). And geesh, that makes the food a better difference. Delivery: Was pretty fast (either that or I was too immersed talking about my Sims 3 family to my boyfriend). Food: We ordered Dry String beans (small) and Orange chicken. The string bean dish was not authentic. The Chinese dry string beans dish that I know should be slightly fried string beans and then sauteed with aromatics, chili peppers and sometimes with diced Chinese preserved meats. instead the vegetable dish was just fresh sauteed string beans in the general asian dark sauce. But I must say it was very decent. Not too salty and crazy on MSG. It was fresh. Now, I must praise for the Orange chicken. They were not overly covered in flour doughs as a lot of kitchens like to do in order to scam you and save on the cost of meat. They were lightly coated and the sauce wasn't overly sweet. So $15 with tip included we filled our tummy and there are some left overs of rice which I will convert it into fried rice for lunch. Not bad. If I ever have order Bad Chinese food again, it will be with them. read more

Chinese is usually too greasy for my tastes, however the one dish that I get here that always delights: Singapore Chow Mei Fun. Basically thin noodles with strips of pork and veggies in a dry curry. Beyond that, I can skip fast food Chinese and go for dumplings in China Town. read more

I use to eat here all the time when I was younger , but they completely fell off . The food is bland and it taste old

This is every cliche of bad neighborhood Chinese food. Flavorless vegetables, gloppy sweet sauces, cheap meat. Just avoid it.

I just had Good Joy for the past two meals. For the neighborhood, its the best chinese delivery around. And by best chinese delivery around, I mean its the ONLY chinese delivery around. I got the chicken with garlic which wasn't bad and the general tso's which was mediocre. I also got the Hot and Sour Soup, which was above average. Very thick, with a good amount of mushrooms and tofu. Not too spicy, and with a nice light, flavor. I'll go again, but only because I have to. read more

I ordered for the first time tonight and I am very happy with my order. I got the sliced pork appetizer (eat while hot), the wonton egg drop soup, broccoli in garlic sauce and one egg roll. I have enough left overs for lunch tomorrow - score! Everything was very tasty. All just your typical fast food chinese take out flavors. For the price I would totally order form here again. Especially the soup which was awesome!! read more

I've lived in the area for ages and tried this place after my Chinese contractor got take out delivered on his lunch break. They forgot the chopsticks and came all the way back to bring them while I was on site. I gave them a try that same night and enjoyed it. I ordered pork lo mein and shrimp fried rice. The lo mein was enough for 2 meals although I ordered the small. Saopolo on Myrtle, our go to Chinese place, has been closed for renovations for a while so this was a welcomed treat. My husband didn't like his shrimp fried rice (only 6-7 small shrimp) but he did go back to order more lo mein the next day. read more

Great neighborhood chinese food. When I don't feel like walking to Kum Kau I come here and honest sometimes I just feel as if they have better food. My food selections have upgraded with age here. As a child I did just like all the other neighborhood and school children did; came here and ordered French fries drenched in ketchup. I do come here and order egg rolls all the time. They are huge and delicious. Can't go wrong with a good egg roll. If your in the neighborhood you should give this place a try. read more

This is our go to chinese delivery spot. Fast, reliable, & always very friendly. Their hot and sour soup is my true inspiration for this review. It's the best combination of hot and sour (duh), but also perfectly mushroom-y, egg-y, and tofu-y all at once. read more

Everything was pretty off flavor-wise. Two stars cus the delivery was SUPER fast and the guy was nice - plus the food was edible at least, though not very good. We got hot and sour soup, egg rolls, shrimp egg foo young, eggplant in garlic sauce, kung pao chicken, and general tso tofu. The hot and sour soup tasted mainly like vinegar and sugar. The pork egg rolls didn't seem to have any meat (just cabbage?) and were slightly undercooked (read: kinda doughy). My boyfriend said the shrimp egg foo young was the most edible, but the gravy wasn't really a gravy - more like a sweet, fish sauce on the bottom of the container. The eggplant's sauce was super thin and barely tasted like anything - except that it was slightly sweet. The kung pao was the kind with green peppers, which I don't like (I like the version of kung pao with scallions). My boyfriend is generally ok with this version of kung pao, but he said the sauce was just really sweet and thin. The general tso tofu was pretty flavorless, too. The sauce was kinda like sugar water and the tofu was dry. We ordered a bunch of things in order to try out different dishes but also because my boyfriend wanted to take the leftovers for lunch the next day. But it was all so flavorless (and somehow also sweet) that we ended up just tossing the leftovers away - which was basically a majority of the food since I ate one bite of each thing and then gave up on it altogether. So far, we haven't found a decent Chinese delivery place near us in Brooklyn. Since the boyfriend and I are from the DC metropolitan area, we're used to having tons of good Chinese restaurants (Americanized and authentic) nearby so we're kinda bummed! I guess we'll hafta get our Chinese food fix when we head home for the holidays. read more

the food tasted amazing! first time getting takeout this year, did get food poisoning that very night though.

They left a menu in my door. I'm glad they did. Their food is delicious. I haven't had a problem yet. The food is fresh and the delivery is fast. Best chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

I called and asked to speak to the manager and the person who answered replied with "HUH?!?!? WHAT THE F*CK, NO!" Very unprofessional and disrespectful to say the least. I will never spend my hard earned money here ever again! read more

This is a typical Chinese fast food take out joint. If you know what I'm talking about you already know what's on the menu and about how good it is. But in that sense this place "gets it right". You want no hassle, touch heavy and salty, Chinese food with not pretense to be anything high end, this place will not let you down. So I recommend it as long as expectations are set. read more

My order was wrong I called back to the restaurant the owner was very rude and disrespectful he hung up on me whatever happened to customer satisfaction. read more

standard Chinese menu , but good. The Gen Tsao / sesame chicken is a little doughy but otherwise every we get delivered from her is good. Our go to place for years. When we ask for something to be cooked or prepared a certain way they do it with out question and always deliver quickly. read more

This is one of the worst Chinese places I ever ordered from and will be my last.Food are cold by the time you receive and the order don't add up to what I wanted or asked for.This place sucks read more

You need to order the right things to get the best experience. I absolutely love this joint

Most importantly - fast, reliable, quick, great delivery service - regardless of weather or time!!! Definitely worth extra tips to the delivery crew... More importantly - delicious food - I love soup noodles. They customize for me :) read more

By far and away the worst chinese delivery I've had in the 5 boroughs. I have no idea what the people approving of this place are thinking, or maybe they're ordering the few things that this place actually makes decently? Chicken with cashews had maybe 8 cashews in it which were quite hard to find as the oder was FILLED with diced cooked carrots and celery. I wasn't aware that chinese restaurants now make bogus cambell's soup knock offs. This couldn't have sucked worse. We had broccoli and string beans were nothing but bland, the broccoli perhaps even a tad undercooked? My friend had the sesame chicken combo plate which was so so. The spring roll was quite gross as well - the cabbage looked dried out inside and it was just.....man it was just bad. And to top it all off - they don't even have eggplant on the menu? If you live in the neighborhood and this is the only place that'll deliver to you and you're CRAVING chinese.....just wait it out and order indian or something. This is the crappiest eating experience I've had in New York city, bar none. read more

I tried this place after being let down by all the other places in walking distance... you know what? instead of going back to my old spot over and over hoping they would improve I should have just gone here. Good noodles & all the shrimp dishes are decent. Not oily or salty and nice people too. Things change but for now the best in the area. read more

It's a very average "bulletproof" Chinese delivery joint in a neighborhood that needs one. Very fast delivery, and very cheap. What's not to like, when you're desperate for delivery? read more

Reliable as a rock, and dead quick. We've been ordering from them for 10 years, and the only thing that's changed with them is their awning. The food is reliably consistent. I won't lie and say it's the best, but when you want NYC chinese takeout, this has always been solid. The people there have always been great, and the delivery guy nothing but friendly. read more

I was parking my car when the family arrived Saturday morning. It was so refreshing to see them bring in fresh vegetables and fish for today's customers. read more

I have been going to this Chinese restaurant for years and today I haven't felt more belittled and disrespected in my life!!!! I ordered small fries as I normally do. Once I got there to pick up my order, I realized I didn't have any dollar bills and only had change (the price was $1.95). So I went into my purse and started paying with quarters, dimes, and pennies. They immediately said NO! they can't accept my pennies. I told them I come here all the time and don't want to pay an ATM fee for 2 dollar fries! He still yelled NO!!! First off, I'm pregnant and had a serious craving for their fries. I went back to my car to see if I can find more quarters. When I came back to the restaurant, he picked up my pennies and screamed NO! WE DO NOT ACCEPT PENNIES. Upset that he spoke to me in that manner, I ignored him and I started to give him quarters and he said he has to make my order again because HE THREW AWAY MY ALREADY MADE FRIES!!!! I should have known there was going to be a problem from when I first called in and ordered my small fries in which he stated WHY NOT ORDER A LARGE FRIES, SMALL FRIES ARE FOR KIDS! This is definitely NOT how you treat and speak to a paying customer! Last time I checked pennies are money!! Maybe they are under new management because I have been going to this restaurant since I was in middle school JHS 113 and I'm 28 now. This is by far the worst I have EVER been treated!!!! I hope my review gets heard to everyone as no one should go through that! NO ONE!! read more

discusting!!! my friend and i ordered the veggie lo mein and about 20 minutes after got food poisoning. stay away from this place!

Fast, fresh, cheap delivery or pick up & the nicest counter folk around! What more could you want in fast Chinese food? Oh - clean, you say? Yes, they are very clean!! read more

Good Joy has been my Chinese neighborhood delivery restaurant for over a decade. They are reliable and the food is consistent. When I don't wish to walk over to Kum Kau - I order in with Good Joy (which is most of the time). (They are extremely affordable and accessible during the holidays too!) read more
