    A lot of food for a great price.
    Regie D.

    Fast and friendly service. Food is amazing. I like the basics fried rice, but tried the crab rangoon and other items. Amazing food for an great price.

    Pork lo mein
    Caroline S.

    Fast and tasty Chinese in Gahanna. The lady who took my order/ helped to make the food was very friendly and kind. I had an egg roll another time from here (not sure what kind because someone else ordered it for me) and it had some kind of meat in it which I don't normally have in an egg roll, but it made it stand out from others I've tried and it was good. I ordered pork lo mein. I didn't even need any soy sauce which is a testament to how flavorful the noodles were because I generally need soy sauce on lo mein because of the lack of flavor. Glad to add this to my Gahanna, Chinese go-to spots. Another reviewer mentioned they have the best crab Rangoon ever, and I love crab rangoon so that'll be next on my list to try!

    General Tso's combo - I added steamed veggies. Really good!

    I was craving General Tso's chicken and decided to take a chance with Joy Food. The combo comes with soup or a spring roll. I went with the roll, but will definitely pass on that next time. It was flavorless. The entree was actually really good though! All white meat chicken, delicious sauce that was really well balanced and thick. I added a side of steamed veggies, and glad I did, because the General Tso's didn't include any. Will definitely order it again!

    Really solid Chinese spot. Best I've found in Gahanna so far. Sesame chicken is breast chunks.

    Haven't had Chinese food in a while and it was pretty good. Szechuan beef was good, hot and tender. The shrimp fried rice was good too.

But they fit the bill well. Fresh hot mustard raised the bar. Dumps. Owner tried to talk me into frying them. I said nope. Nice old school chewy dough exterior, the filling was ample tho a bit bland. The vinegar dipping sauce brought em back to life. Soups. No complaints. The wonton broth was quite savory, nice plump wontons along with sliced char su and mushrooms. Hot and sour had a good deep taste and an ok amount of ingredients. Needed a lil more fire. Twice cooked pork. Saving it for later but looks legit. Lots of tasty cabbage which is the signature. Though the use of char su instead of pork loin is off target I suspect it will be ok. Still miss the Hunan House version that left their menu a few years back. I'll go back one day and try some other stuff, their salt pepper wings and shrimp toast and fried rice dishes looked good in photos.

    The food is delicious, always fresh and prepared well. Chef's kiss on the shrimp Egg Foo Young…read more Best in Columbus.

We ordered sweet and sour chicken, vegetable lo mein, an egg roll, steamed rice, and yum yum sauce. I was surprised that all our dishes were fairly bland; I found myself dumping soy sauce on the lo mein, for instance, to get any flavor. The yum yum sauce was much more like a honey mustard than any other version of that sauce I ever had, and neither my daughter nor I liked it. Sweet and sour chicken was decent: chicken was not greasy or had too much breading, which i appreciated. Portions were not huge, unlike a lot of other Chinese restaurants, especially given the price. Fine, but I'll be looking for other Chinese restaurants for take out in the future.

This time they put the rice and the Lantern Chicken in the same container and it's a smaller container. You're getting less for more money. We called and they tried to say we were getting the same amount because they said they measure it. How can you get the same amount if the container is smaller? More lies. We are now done ordering from them. And we have been ordering from them for over 20 years. Wish I could post a picture. Picture is an old container showing the size, second picture is the new container, which they say is the same size of food as the old container but 1/2 is now the rice.
