First I have to give a HUGE shout out to the hostess Asia. From the moment my family and I walked in 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. read more

JOY Asian Cuisine - Such an amazing touch to celebrate my Birthday! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Indio, California

Had a business/pleasure meeting so we decided to meet over Chinese. The person I was meeting suggested 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. read more

Came in for early dinner. Sat down immediately.: that's when the wait began..it was incredibly long. A few waitresses walking around from one side of the restaurant to the other... Being completely ignored. After 15 minutes, we got our orders taken another 10 to 12 minutes. No drinks... we flagged one of the workers down. She brought us our drinks. Then two different servers brought us our food. Which was wrong. They were very nice. Terrible service but excellent food. read more

On a recent trip to California to celebrate a birthday, my Aunt & I had a fabulous meal at Joy Asian Cuisine. We were greeted with smiles & seated promptly. Several patrons were enjoying their meal as well as a few people who sat at the bar having drinks. Our server was very polite and attentive. She served our drinks and did not push us to order until we were ready. The two appetizers we chose were delicious. The pancake had just the right amount of kick to it. The chutney complimented it very nicely. The spring rolls were crispy and flavorful. Not greasy nor dry. When duck is available on a menu, I always order it. Duck is one of my favorite dishes. I was not disappointed. The portion size was ample, enough to make a meal for the following day. The duck was accompanied by an orange glaze and a side of rice. My Aunt thoroughly enjoyed the crispy shrimp which also came on a bed of rice. We ordered the garlic spinach to share. The one disappointment was that green tea ice cream was not available. My Aunt opted for vanilla ice cream. A slice of white cake was offered complimentary as a birthday treat. I sipped on a glass of Merlot. Overall we had a very pleasant and relaxing evening. I highly recommend JOY Asian Cuisine and look forward to experiencing another unique meal. read more

First of all, I want to recognize our server Angel! He was amazing from the start and he paid attention to the small details such as refilling our wine when needed, especially when other restaurants/servers no longer do that! Not only was he spectacular, but the supporting staff were as well and not to mention the food was delicious! This is our second time in one week! We will definitely be back! read more

A restaurant serving delicious Asian cuisine at Fantasy Springs Casino. This past Friday evening, we were craving Asian food after an outdoor music concert at Fantasy. At first, I was thinking Chinese noodles and egg rolls. We enter through the wide entrance doors and spot unoccupied stools at the front bar. We snag them. At the bar, Jose greeted us with a smile, and took our drinks order. The cozy bar serves wine, liquor, and beer. We were starving so our food order was taken pronto. Our food items were ready in less than 15 minutes. I enjoyed the Filipino pancit noodles with chicken and veggies. The pancit noodles were delicious. I had not eaten pancit in over a decade. So, this dish was a special treat for me. We also shared an order of fried spring rolls, which were also quite good. A big applause to Jose for taking good care of us at the bar area. JOY Asian has an extensive menu serving your favorite Asian dishes from the Far East. Eat there! read more

We came here for dinner. We have been here before and had a great meal. This time we knew the portions are huge so we split an entree and got a few appetizers and soup. And we still took things home! This time We were greeted by Irene our server. She was professional and efficient. I always get the plumb wine here . It's sweet but it gets you ready for the Asian experience! We were brought our egg rolls and bao buns first . They were yummy. We have in the past had Shu Mi and Gyozas , also great choices. Our soup was pork and shrimp wonton. The bowl it came in would have served 4. Lastly we got our Noodles. They were perfect with lots of Broccoli and a garlicy sauce. I liked mine the way they were . My husband added. Hot sauce. Our meal was relaxing and we were never rushed. We can't wait to come back. read more

It was my first time visiting Joy Asian Cuisine, and I was very impressed. The customer service was professional, and the food was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were generous and more than enough. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning. read more

We had such a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter's birthday at JOY this week! When we initially called, it seemed like they might not be able to accommodate our large party, so we decided to go in person and speak with a manager. We are so glad we did! When we arrived on Monday, everything was set up beautifully. Although our entire party wasn't able to sit together, it honestly worked out perfectly and didn't take away from the celebration at all. The staff went above and beyond! Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, attentive, and efficient. We had SO much delicious food, and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. We are forever thankful to the entire JOY team for helping make our daughter's birthday celebration such a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you for taking such great care of our family and guests! read more

I've taken my family to Joy's several times. The food is fantastic. Putting that aside, the service is the most outstanding in Coachella Valley. From the host, Asia, who continuously has made our experience phenomenal and goes the extra mile, to our server Naylea with a wonderful smile and attentive nature, makes for a wonderful night out. A special shout out to Hailey, the assistant to the server who's as lovely as she is beautiful. Thanks to the whole staff and we will be back. Cheers, Mia! read more

We were staying at FS and had just come from j tree. We needed something convenient. Opted to try Joy. We all agree the food was bland! Not popping Asian flavors like we'd hoped. We got combo fried rice, orange chicken, and pho. All were unseasoned and needed all the chili sauce you could stand. The cook on the chicken and other dishes was fine. Service was fine. Restaurant was dark and echoey inside. The booth was comfortable though. read more

Over the weekend I went to a concert at Fantasy Springs Casino, then had dinner at Joy within the casino itself. The menu is hugeeeee with dishes from various Asian backgrounds. - Thai, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Viet, dim sum - so many options and so little stomach space. My friend and I shared the Beijing Beef ($22) which was a good sized portion, with good flavor. Tons of beef in the dish! My friend also had the Noodle Soup and reported being happy with it. Those chocolate cheesecake doughnuts sound so good but I was fullll~ It's a cute restaurant retreat for some respite inside of a busy casino. We liked our food, staff was lovely the entire time, overall great restaurant to dine at while at the casino or in Indio! read more

We were very disappointed with the food and the service. They were very nice, but not knowledgeable about the menu. They charged $5 extra for crispy noodles for the soup that were out of a can! I asked for my sauce on the side and I got a cold bowl of glop that they said couldn't be heated for the side! The spareribs were "fair" at best. Overall I wouldn't go back! read more

Okay, the best thing about this place is they have a bar that you can sit at and order food. The last thing I wanted to do was to go sit in a Chinese restaurant in a casino while we're waiting for our event to kick off. The food was average to average plus the server/ bartender was extremely nice and helpful. However the kitchen was woefully unprepared for preparing the food and getting it out in a timely fashion. Typically in a Chinese restaurant you order all your food and things just start flying out of the kitchen in no particular order. In this case it was a long slog to receive our very simple orders. Nevertheless, it hit the spot and we were on our way. read more

I can't say enough about our experiences at Joy Cuisine, largely thanks to the exceptional management of Noel Maranan. This restaurant truly stands out in the desert with its amazing food and top-notch service. Noel leads a fantastic team that makes every visit feel special.

From the warm ambiance to the attentive staff, everything is designed to make your dining experience memorable. If you're looking for the best place to eat in the desert, look no further than Joy Cuisine. Thank you, Noel, for making each meal a joy! read more

Service wasn't the best. I had to ask two times for them to bring our drinks. Food was mediocre at best. Certainly not at a level their price demands. And lastly, the restaurant as well as the casino was very warm and just had dead air. Assuming they were having AC issues but it wasn't pleasant. We see a lot of concerts here at Fantasy Springs but we won't ever eat here again. read more

Not very impressed with the atmosphere or food here. The menu had many choices. But overall felt the quality was subpar. Felt like an overpriced Panda Express experience. What's worst is the service is extremely slow. Waiters and waitresses embraced the rude Asian servers mentality well. When you try to flag them down they'd look the other way. Would not recommend read more

My entire dining experience for lunch on May 14 was extraordinary! I am now living in another state and I make it A PRIORITY to visit JOY when I can. The Asian cuisine is some of the best I have ever had. I love Sweet and Sour Pork and General Tso's Chicken. All the dishes I've tried are delicious! Service is prompt, friendly, accurate and never disappoints! I appreciate the way Noel Maranan, our manager on 5-14, kept service, food, and the entire dining experience memorable and satisfying. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our group's fine dining experience. Kathy Harris Sahuarita, Arizona read more

My mom lives nearby in La Quinta, so when she suggested this great place at Fantasy Springs Casino, I was hesitant. Yes, I'm kind of snobby with Asian cuisine of all types, and with the 3.7 star rating, well, my Mom really wanted to go. Well, blow me down. It is fusion, but it is done really well. We had a few dishes to share, Thai and Chinese, and all were great. The noodles of the Pad Thai were not cooked long enough, but they re-made it in a jiffy by our lovely server. You'll also see the staff diverse, so it's fusion there, too. read more

A goup of us ate at Joy on April 4th and had a bad experience but am now writing to praise them. I wrote to the restaurant to express my complaint about someone knocking on our table to say it is time to leave, there is someone else waiting for our table. We tried to say we were waiting 30 minutes for our bill but he wouldn't listen and was very rude. We had eaten here twice before and l loved it. I received an email back from managment apologing and said that is not their style. I also received a phone call a couple of weeks from the high manament that this was not their practice and have dealt with the situation. This is truly great customer service, acknowleding what happened and rectifying it. We will be back. read more

JOY JOY JOY.. We always come here for chinese cravings whenever we are at Palm springs. Yes, it is inside the casino but that doesn't mean you have to gamble, their location is right in front of the entrance so if you are not into casinos you do not have to walk around the slot machines to get there. KIDS are welcome. Let's talk about their food, they are DELISH!!! I will have a very loong chapter of review if I will write everything I have tried so far but to make it short it's SUPERB. I will not lie about the saltiness of SOME of their cuisine but hey it is called- "constructive criticism" - so the ROOM for improvement will open. Staff are GREAT! They know what they serve and when asked about their menus they are so knowledgeable unlike from other places that they have to ask the kitchen first. We also met their new manager Noel who is very attentive! He's really like the man of the place. HE makes sure that all his guests are enjoying their meal and assures what's needed must be attended. YOU will feel super welcome and special. The place as always is well-maintained, and tidy. I am not sure if there is a restroom inside the restaurant but maybe in the casino. Parking of course is a lot. Price-wise I think is not bad - the average price for a decent Chinese restaurant. Accepts Credit card, cash, comps, and Apple Pay (not sure). Shala! Overall GREAT EXPERIENCE, will definitely come back and back and back. Enjoy my shared pics! read more

We had an absolutely fabulous dining experience at Joy Asian cuisine inside Fantasy Springs Casino. The food was outstanding, but what truly set the evening apart was the service from our waiter Tony and his assistant Chad. From the moment we sat down, we were treated to five Star Service. Both Tony and Chad are outgoing, attentive and genuinely eager to make sure everything is perfect. They went above and beyond helping us select our dishes and making us feel welcome. We started with the spicy cucumbers and beef sauté appetizers, both packed with flavor. For our main course we enjoyed the fried red snapper and a delicious bok choy mixed vegetable dish. Every bite was excellent, but the highlight of the night was without question the personalities and professionalism of Tony and Chad. Fantastic food, impeccable service, and a warm, memorable experience, this was easily a five star night. Highly recommend asking for Tony Chad when you visit read more

5 stars. A new friend of mine told me that I had to give Joy a try. I was initially turned off because this restaurant is inside a casino, but that's a conversation for another time. I recently got a new car and felt like taking a lunchtime drive. Joy did not disappoint. BBQ noodle soup: 5 stars! I ordered the pork BBQ noodle soup. I was given the chicken noodle soup. Both were delicious. Chicken: tender, flavorful, DELICIOUS skin on some of the chicken slices. Pork: DELICIOUS. juicy, flavorful and juuuust the right amount of fat. Mostly meat and just delicious! The soup itself if clear, appears to be rich in collagen, and comes with a healthy portion of rice noodles and baby bok choy. Add a little green onions and you got a 5 star dish in and of itself. I was about halfway thorough the chicken noodle soup when the Manager, Victoria came by the check on us. I mentioned that the soup was delicious, but I had actually ordered the BBQ PORK noodle soup and asked if I could try a bite of the pork. I am so glad I did this because even though the chicken was 5 star, the pork is much much better. I slid the slices of pork into my soup and gobbled them up. Spicy cucumbers: 5 stars Great appetizer! (see photo) I don't remember the name of this dish exactly but its under the lunch appetizer and its chunks of cucumbers mixed with chili, garlic and a sauce of some kind. Delicious and reminds me of something my grandmother used to make me with my rice. Gin Gin Mule (alcoholic drink): 4 stars. Strong, but good and I just might order this drink again. Service: 5 stars! read more

I had a delicious lunch at the Joy Asian Cuisine Restaurant located on the first floor of the Fantasy Springs Casino. We didn't have a reservation, but was able to get a table in the main dining room. For starters, we ordered a sampler, which was very tasty and let's you try several items (spare ribs, egg roll, potsticker. beef skewer) to whet your appetite before the main Entree. I thoroughly enjoyed the Korean Bi Bim Bap, the rice and egg were cooked perfectly. I drank the complimentary hot tea, but noticed a fully stocked cocktail bar, and an extensive wine list you can purchase by the glass or several options for $35 a bottle. Reservations can be made on the Open Table App. Enjoy your meal when you are in the area, and don't forget to tell 'em Rosemary sent ya! read more

So difficult to get Authentic good Asian food in Coachella Valley. This is about as good as you are going to get and it is mediocre at best. We had a party of five pictures not captured below include green beans; gai lan and mu Shu pork. Like all the other Asian restaurants in CV the tastes are muted and blanded down. We ordered Vespers which we were assured the bartender knew how to make but came with Olives....guess they don't know how to make these. While the food is not terrible, it just misses the mark on so many levels. Would we come back? It's far for us to come from RM and for mediocre food...I can cook this better at home. read more

As expected, casino dining runs like a well-oiled buffet line--crowds rushing in, kitchens firing off mountains of food to get everyone fed before the show starts. Joy Cuisine was no exception, the night we went for our Jim Jefferies date night. Our 6:15 reservation somehow became a 6:40 seating, but honestly, that seemed par for the course. Plenty of diners at the host stand were in the same boat, all standing by and hungry. The place had nervous energy--servers darting past with carts stacked high, my chair mush have been bumped 8+ times like something out of a culinary beehive. Everyone was buzzing, and judging by the happy faces, no one seemed to mind the wait. The Mongolian beef? Outstanding. The General Tso's chicken (let's be honest, orange chicken) was loaded with "forget your diet" flavor and unapologetic calories. The noodles came out in heroic portions--a glorious carb mountain. For two people, expect leftovers... and maybe an upgraded belt size. We'll definitely be heading back. read more

This place is horrible! We had a reservation. They had a bunch of employees hanging out at shift change, standing around in the entrance giving each other high fives and knuckle bumps like a bunch of street idiots. The waitress brought warm sake when we ordered cold sake, forgot to bring our appetizer so we got our appetizer after our meal, then forgot to bring our second round of drinks. Overall this place is horrible for service and there doesn't seem to be any management keeping the hoodlums (employees) from loitering when their shift end! Do that crap out back not in the front entrance! read more

Staff very attentive and inviting. Good portions of food and tasty dishes! A great place to enjoy Sushi. Wish the Sushi bar was larger

Food was very authentic and delicious. I lived in Asia for 2 years and many of the dishes reminded me of local fare,

First time here last night with my family. The service was great! The food was good. I highly recommend the chicken fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken (general tsos chicken I believe that's what they called it) and lo mein (chow mein). The mango mojito was good and a very generous amount based on other places I've been to. We just walked in but generally they said you need a reservation specially for a bigger party. We sat by the bar area so the ambiance was fine, maybe not as loud as inside the rest of the restaurant. Definitely come dine in! read more

Mom and I played bingo until 4:15 and we ran over to their Asian restaurant to eat. We had to sit on the bar seats because they had reservations later for all the other empty tables. Our waiter/bartender was really nice and did a great job with the service. His name is Christian. We decided to try their Peking duck which you do not have to order in advance. The duck was really good except for the duck pancakes which tasted like flour tortillas that were cold and dried out. . For 52 dollars they should rethink the brand that they buy because it can make or break the dish.next time we will have the buns instead if we order it again. The desert was really good but pricy at $12. We had dinner here before and I think 31/2 stars is about right for this restaurant all things considered. read more
