This is probably one of our favorite Chinese food spots in Catonsville! All the food we have tried we really enjoy and the staff is very friendly. The portion sizes aren't small and I truly feel like you get your monies worth. We usually order take out and pick it up so I haven't really paid much attention to the inside or decor because we walk in pay and grab our food. They do have a good size parking lot making it easy to pop in and out. It pretty centrally located on edmondson and I'm glad we were recommended here. So if you're looking for some good Chinese food I'd give them a try because there's like 3 other Chinese restaurants I pass just to go to this one! Everything is made fresh and is always hot. They are also pretty quick at preparing your food so the wait isn't long from the time you place your order and I especially love that you can order and pay online! read more

Love their house fried rice. Convenient location. Their food is very consistent. They are very accommodating when asked for different kinds of sauces. read more

I spent 80 bucks to throw out my food. Had to be the worst Chinese food I've ever had unfortunately Tasted dirty, over floured. The meat was incredible huge and the portions were incredible but the taste. The look. Absolutely gross. Literally threw it out read more

Have ordered food for delivery twice. The food is outstanding. It's very fresh and well seasoned with generous servings. This is my go to place for Chinese food. I haven't tried eating there yet, but that's next on my list. read more

as a DC native I was absolutely shocked to find a carryout outside my hometown that has the same quality of Chinese food. Hunan Joy did not disappoint. Ordered my normal thing praying it would taste the same as other places and it impressed me more than expected read more

This is my go to! Phenomenal food that is always consistently delicious. The portions are generous and the prices aren't too bad. The service is always phenomenal but there is sometimes a wait due to how popular they are especially during the weekends. The restaurant is small just to pick up your order so there isn't room to sit down and eat. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

This spot has become my fave for Chinese food. I travel across town to eat here. Th woman at the counter is alwaysssss nice and pleasant. I even see him taking food out to cars sometimes. The food is really tasty. Eggs rolls too. I don't veer too far from shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls . Just the right tinch of grease ... read more

Hunan Joy - About 1/3 of small shrimp fried rice and egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

This is the first Chinese spot I've found in Baltimore county that makes the egg foo young like they do in the city. The Yat Gaw Mein isn't that Baltimore dirty Yat! but it's serviceable. My wife and I ordered from here twice in one week and we were not disappointed. This will be our go to for Chinese food in the county. The egg foo young gravy is really so fire. And they give you 3 egg pancakes so you will definitely be full afterward. I just wish the Yat Gaw Mein had a thicker sauce and the flavor profile comes up more. It's not nasty just not dirty Yat. The service is great, the young man I've encountered each time behind the counter is calm and friendly, he even brought my food out to my car as I waited. Give them a try if you're in Catonsville. read more

Really good Chinese food! Take out only. Reasonable prices and fast. Two sizes large and small. I ordered large for everything. There is a small parking lot out in the front so you can park and pick up your food. They have all the traditional food. I liked the moo shoo vegetable, kung pao chicken, lo mein noodle with chicken (has bean sprout and celery), and the hot and sour soup I did not like general Tso tofu. I imagine it would be the same orange glaze for general tso's chicken. This is a personal preference as I don't like anything sweet. The glaze reminds me of the common Americanized orange chicken dish. So if that's what you're looking for the general tso's sauce is for you. I liked 4 out the 5 dishes that I ordered. I'm so glad I found this place. It's exactly what I'm looking for from a Chinese restaurant. I docked a star bc they didn't have common dishes like eggplant dish or bok choy/ong choy in garlic sauce and thick flat rice noodle stir fry. That being said what they had was pretty delicious. I'm definitely going to be a regular. read more

I went here on Christmas Day, and they were expectedly busy. They let me wait in my car until my food was ready, and it was piping hot. The wontons are delicious and the beef and broccoli was hot and yummy. The gentleman at the front was very kind and lovely. read more

I've been asking for about a year if anyone knew of a good Chinese restaurant, tried about six spots, and each time only to be disappointed. Someone recommended this awesome find to us as her favorite spot. Hunan Joy definitely DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We used the carry out side. The food was delicious, the portions were great, the service was good, and the prices were equally matched. We live about fifteen minutes away, but this will become our go to restaurant for excellent Chinese Food. Thank you for pride in what you do. read more

Website says they do delivery, but clearly that's just so they can get your hopes up! Either this is a very amusing error, or it's scummy marketing. I'm leaning towards amusing error, somebody probably forgot to fill in a box somewhere. Edit: Turns out it was just an error after all! Just put in a delivery and looking forward to the results, thank you for the response! read more

Hunan Joy - They seem really optimistic about how much we're willing to spend so we don't have to drive there. - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

I had orange chicken here and I am positive the chicken was not real. The only reason I am giving this two stars is because the service was very nice and the people were kind. I would likely not go to this place again. It is very basic and not decorated nicely, however, it was clean. Maybe they will change things and it'll be better in the future but for now I do not see myself returning. read more

The staff is really friendly, this is the only reason why my family continues to patronize. However, the taste and quality has gone downhill. As frequent customers over the yrs, the last three times were beneath our expectations. Because they're friendly, maybe we'll give it some time and try again. read more

I love the food but today is so busy my order hasn't been ready for over an hour and they won't answer the phone. I am regretting even getting food from here right now read more

Decent Chinese place. I enjoyed the chicken and broccoli, and it was done pretty fast (under 20m). But $12.95 for a small thing was maybe a bit more than I'm used to. The guy at the window when I picked it up was friendly. If you go here and need a fork, ask for one, because I didn't get one in my bag. read more

Got carry out here for lunch. Just wanted to try a new place. Was pleased with the product and flavors. Very nice local place. Friendly and easy pickup. The triple delight with fried rice and egg rolls. Each hot and fresh. Totally enjoy a few more dishes from here. read more

Decent American traditional Chinese food. Really like their fried rice. Great service. Nice people

The food here is okay depending on what you are getting can't seem to find good Chinese food on the west side of baltimore county

This is one of my favorite spots! The staff is extremely friendly and the food is a wonderful treat. I get takeout from here regularly and highly recommended supporting this small business. (Note: Sometimes their website is down and says they are located in VA. I have let them know. Just call their phone number to order! They are located in Catonsville, MD.) read more

I just ordered general tso chicken with steamed brown rice with wonton soup. The food was dry and when u say dry the sauce was so thick on the chicken you needed 2 large glasses of water to wash it down .im not ordering from here again and inorder food alot plus I don't do this review thing at all I called and the to asked them if I can get something else and she told me.know so here I am letting u guys know take this at your own risk but its not worth it .the food was only 16 dollars but its still a waste . read more

Hunan Joy - General tso chicken and steamed brown rice - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

Of all the Chinese carry out places in the area, this is the only one I will go to! This place taste great, has good prices and is clean which is a plus for me! Their food is great and exceeds the typical Chinese carry out expectation. My boyfriend and I usually get the combination platter which includes a soup, entree, rice and a shrimp egg roll. They can prepare their food at lightening speed which is a plus when you are starving and everything comes piping hot. I normally get general Tsos chicken or a similar dish and I love that it actually tastes like meat. You can actually see the chicken breast instead of the tons of breading you will get elsewhere. Although their prices are probably than competitors you get what you pay for. Quality food and lots of it. Their portions are pretty generous they can last me 1-3 meals. If anyone is in need of a new carry out spot this is the one to try! read more

I was desperate for a new favorite place to cure my ever evolving need for good Chinese food. Anddd I FOUND IT! Thank you fellow Yelpers for your on point reviews. I love this place not only for the good food, but for also the welcoming feel the owner bestows on all her customers. Lots of repeat patrons coming in for carry out. Apparently I went on the first day they reopened which would explain the many of the happy faces coming in and out. Food was great. We ordered many dishes to try - Crispy beef is off the charts. Kung Pao chicken has just the right spice and is equally as good. General Tso's chicken was as expected, but not terribly spicy. Orange chicken - delicious. Wonton soup was perfect and egg rolls were great. So glad Yelp steered me here... definitely will be coming back! read more

I go for the sushi. It started with just me, now all my coworkers are ordering too!!! So now I am bringing in 9 orders instead of 1. My wife gets the honey chicken, big chunks of chicken breast. Great place, greater price! read more

One of our favorite places for takeout food close to home. It is a standard Americanized Chinese menu. Orange Beef, General Tso, eggrolls ... you get the picture. They do have a couple of tables buts it's really a takeout place. Most people use the tables to sit down while waiting for their takeout. Everything we have tried has been great. The one exception is that the orange beef wasn't great - too much breading on the beef - flavor was good though. Otherwise every dish has been great. The portions are always huge. You can serve two with one dinner size portion and have leftovers of the entree. You will need to make some extra rice to go with the leftovers more than likely. I got the General Tso chicken lunch portion today and I had plenty of food for lunch and dinner. My partner likes the Mongolian beef. The lady that works at the counter is always so nice. The prices are very fair. I highly recommend Hunan Joy. We have ordered here more than a dozen times and have only lived in the area for about 2 years. It's not the fanciest food and it is not dining, but it is great for takeout. The food is always delicious and you will have lots of leftovers. Very nice people running this place so give them your business. read more

Hunan Joy - Human Joy- General Tso Chicken lunch portion - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

I ordered house fried rice and hot and sour soup. The fried rice was a little disappointing because it was greasy and a bit salty . The soup was fair. A bit more sour than usual. The people were friendly. Good service. After paying for my order, I went to wait in my car and the employee brought it to the car. The parking lot was brightly lit. Inside the carry out had a couple of tables and chairs if you want to eat in. read more

We like the food from here, but their online ordering and delivery service are atrocious. I placed a delivery order for our kids before my wife and I left for another event. An hour and a half later, my son texted to ask when the food would arrive. I called and was told that they were busy, but that my order was "on the way". It's a 10 minute drive, but the food didn't arrive until about 25 minutes later. If I'd known that delivery was going to take nearly 2 hours, I would've ordered from somewhere else. The mealage.net service that they use for online ordering never provides an estimated pickup or delivery time, and the email never contains an itemized order. It literally says this, and nothing else: "This is an Automatically generated Email. Please do not respond to this email. For any issues, please call directly at (410) 7888877 Thanks for your order. Please Click Here to Order Again at Our Website" Decent food isn't worth that much aggravation. read more

My favorite Chinese place in Catonsville. I have yet to get anything I don't like. My go-to is the orange chicken special combination plate with egg roll and egg drop soup. Their roast pork lo mein is excellent too. Recently ordered a lot from them when I was hosting a game night and everyone said the food was great. read more

Best Chinese food in Catonsville I grew up and spent my entire life in Catonsville and I always knew this place as the one across CVS on Edmondson. I think they remodeled a few years ago so I can't speak for back then but for the past 2/3 years, they have consistently been the best Chinese food I've had no matter where I go. The sushi is pretty good as well but strongly recommend coming here. read more

This is a decent Chinese place. The inside has been redone; it's very fluorescent and sterile and only has two tables - not very inviting to stay. That being said, the takeout is on point. When I went to pick up food, the guy behind the counter was getting swamped with phone calls for orders. Food is alright. The sushi isn't bad; I've had better but I've definitely had worse. The Pad Thai was filling, but a little disappointing. A bit dry. The beef teriyaki sticks were great and the winner was the Orange Chicken. Lots of sauce (which I like), very little breading, and huge chunks of white meat chicken. I would definitely get this and other chicken dishes like it again. The prices are decent. You could be very economical or splurge. Either way, you probably won't finish it all in one sitting. This is an A-ok place to go for Chinese takeout. read more

A small but good restaurant right down the street from my church. Stopped in on a whim and glad I did. Had 2 basic sushi maki rolls which were fresh and tasty. I also ordered the shrimp fried rice which in my opinion is made the delicious way. I loved it. And best of all, the customer service was superb. Friendly and efficient. I'll be back. Off the beaten path but not too far off for you to stop by and check it out yourself. Plenty of parking. read more

General Tso's chicken was awful. Chicken was maybe the lowest quality I've ever had and that's saying something. It was literally all breading/fat. Sauce was sweet and disgusting as well. I am no snob when it comes to Chinese food but this was embarrassing. Pupu platter was okay. Fix your chicken quality or don't bother putting it on the menu. read more

My first experience eating at this restaurant was horrible. I ordered a small Szechuan shrimp, for $8.00. The quantity and the food was awful. It was very salty, so I returned it. The owner was not nice, I offered to get something else; but she said no they were too busy. She returned my money and handed me back the food and told me to take it outside. I asked her " take it where"? She said anywhere take it out of the restaurant (all along shoving the bag back to me. The were no trash receptacles outside ... only a dumpster around the side. I disposed of it there. I wasn't giving her a bomb! It was just her nasty food back. Never ever again!! read more

The food arrived hot and very good. I had wonton soup and it was really good. Then on to the shrimp fried rice. It was full of shrimp and very filling and the rice was moist and not dry as some serve it. Very tasty. Will be ordering again. read more

We love Hunan Joy. It's always good and even though they raised the prices, they're still more affordable than most others in the area. Just make sure you have some blood pressure medicine and water nearby. It is SALTY read more

Our go-to Chinese takeout place. Friendly and timely delivery ordered straight from The website. The Chinese menu is good and great to have so many veggie/tofu options. I wish they had the typical chow mein but it's a good place. Try it! read more

Had some of the best Chinese take-away, I have ever had. The Singapore Mai Fun was yummy although nobody seems to take me seriously when I ask for extra spiciness. My roommate loved the orange chicken. He avidly finished every bite. I'll be back! read more

Excellent! I've lived in Catonsville for 20+ years, but had never tried this place. Food was excellent. Ordered General Tso's Chicken and Mongolian Beef, and I recommend both. The General Tso's is all white meat, lightly battered, in a very flavorful sauce that is more sweet than spicy. The Mongolian Beef likewise was very flavorful... a bit salty but not too much, with onions, scallions, and cabbage. Portions are large - couldn't finish in one meal. The food was super-hot temperature wise, which is great since this is take-out. Service is fast and friendly and there is easy parking. Highly recommend for take out. read more
