The Shrimp Pad Thai has me sitting in my seat dancing as I eat and post this review. OMGoodness. The environment is stunning and well lit with great music completing the vibe. The staff is very kind and vibrant. read more

My daughter was craving sushi and the first restaurant we went to didn't offer sushi during the weekdays. We took a detour on the way home and ordered sushi to go. They're easy to find, on the corner of a busy street. They have a parking lot right in front. Cute restaurant, they have 2 rooms. Designed with wood and craftsmanship. Their menu offers sushi, chinese, and Thai. read more

Joy Kitchen was about exactly what you'd expect in an average Asian joint. Nothing exceptional, but will likely help you get your fix of Asian flavors should you be in the mood. We tried two sushi rolls - one not so good, and the other reasonably good (Minnesota Roll). The Massaman curry was extremely bland, which was a major disappointment. Their house fried rice was par for the course, but also this one is hard to mess up! All in all, it was average almost across the board. read more

Great Kung Pao Chicken, and their combo dinner is a good value. I'm not a sushi eater, but my daughter enjoyed it.

Still great - 4 stars! It's been a while, a full 5 years since I've been to Joy Kitchen. But I just went back to get an emergency sushi craving fix. I ordered 4 styles of tuna based sushi rolls. All 4 of them were bursting with wonderful flavors. They ingredients are obviously nice & fresh, including ample portions of beautiful dark red tuna. LOW CARBOHYDRATE: It's pretty easy to eat low carbohydrate, keto style at Joy Kitchen, especially if you stick to the sushi options. I avoid the noodles, large rice portions, deep fried stuff (they use soybean oil), and any sauce that probably contains sugar and vegetable seed oils. If I cheat on my carnivore with keto (about once a month) I often grab some lower carb sushi roll options, and J.K. definitely hit the spot! Thanks, again, Joy Kitchen! -Maxx read more

Service was good and our server was very attentive. Food was ok but not great. It could have been hotter

Food was pretty good. The Pink Love roll was delicious. Service was very slow and our table was never prebussed so it got pretty cluttered. Ambiance was fine, they seem to have a lot of to-go orders and focus heavily on those. read more

The food is awful. I ordered Shrimp Chow Mein. It was a disgusting plate of slimy cooked celery, tasteless opaque sauce and near rotten, tiny frozen shrimp. I was afraid to eat this unappetizing mess. Never again. read more

Came in to get sushi and an order of chicken pad thai. It was a Monday night and not that busy inside. The guy told us to sit wherever we wanted. It took him a while to bring us our menus. I put our sushi order in right away because we were hungry. Then he took our order around 5 minutes later for the pad thai. We waited and waited for the sushi...it was around 20 minutes and no sushi yet. I went up to the server and asked when it was coming? He said soon. Finally it came and then we waited around another 10 more minutes for the pad thai. He never refilled our waters or grabbed the dirty plates! When our pad thai finally arrived at the table it had a weird smell to it. My husband and I both didn't like the taste and it wasn't very hot! So, when the guy finally came back to ask how it was...we told him it wasn't what we thought it would be...he said that it's a hit or miss with a lot of people. So, now we just want to leave. He asked, did you want something else? We said Chicken Lo Mein since he told us it would be on the house. We asked for it to go. It came up quicker than the other food. Here's the kicker...he still charged us for the Lo Mein when he specifically told us it would be free! I even confronted him on what he had told us...but, he still charged us after this whole big mess...we won't be going back . . . Too bad because we live so close to this place and like to support our local businesses. JOY KITCHEN.... you need to get more trained servers for the inside dining customers, instead of worrying about all the takeout orders...get a new system going! Buh-bye read more

The sushi here is amazing! I've tried a few different rolls but the JB 77 is my favorite! The staff is so friendly and my to-go order is always ready when I get there. They forgot one of my sushi rolls once and went above and beyond to make it well! I will always come back for more! read more

We love this place! We order frequently within a year. Their house lo mein, egg rolls, and crab wontons ‍‼ They also have sushi! This little place is the perfect place for Asian food in the Andover/ Anoka area. We have never been disappointed. Great for to go orders! read more

Chicken wings: appearance wise, these look like very tasty and plump wings, but they were rubbery and flavorless. Part of the crispy, tempora was falling off and not on certain places of the wing. On the plus side, they did offer a ton of wings. Rating: 1/5 Sushi: we ordered an assortment of sushi and I honestly don't remember what we ordered. I ordered four specialty rolls and they were OK but not fantastic. Would I order these again? Probably not, but I could see myself ordering different ones. I will say the California roll was ridiculously good. Comments: for Andover, this is probably one of the best sushi places within this Metropolitan area. read more

It was awful!!! I ordered pad Thai and the chicken had a funny texture and tasted like fish and some kind of fish sauce or something got into it made it taste terrible. The eggrolls were nothing but little pieces of chopped cabbage. They were not good either. read more

Visited to pick up food for lunch with a friend. They have no fine in due to the pandemic but they have menus inside that you can look at before ordering. I ordered the chicken and broccoli and we got a side of wontons. I have a cashew allergy so they took extra care to make sure my food wasn't cross contaminated. The food was delicious, the sauce was very nice and the wontons were divine. I'd definitely order from here again. read more

Joy Kitchen - Chicken and Broccoli - Asian Fusion Near Me - Andover, Minnesota

Ordered pickup from Joy Kitchen - food was ready in 20 mins. Interior was much nicer than I expected as I have driven by Joy Kitchen for years but never tried it. Their cream cheese wontons were the best part of the meal. The Kung Pao Chicken and Massaman Curry were good but nothing spectacular. I felt they went overboard on the veggies, and the lack of the meat in the entrees is the reason for the three star rating. I'd definitely give them another shot, especially to see the value/quality of the lunch specials. read more

This is our go-to for ordering out when we are lazy and not wanting to cook! We only stick to the basics (orange chicken, chicken fried rice, wontons, general tso's chicken). We don't order sushi or anything fancy (my husband tried sushi here & it's nothing to brag about)... The chicken is always super awesome and flavorful, no weird pieces. Cream cheese wontons are super delicious. However, the fried rice is mediocre. It's more on the dry side & not very flavorful. Lastly, they serve large portions for great price. We will continue to order from here! read more

Have been ordering there Chicken Chow Mein for a long time Recently they have changed the way they make it It's bland and only has chicken and celery in it. Won't be ordering from there again until that changes... read more

Great sushi, great Chinese, great Thai!! I've never had a bad item at Joys! Kind of happy the Chinese restaurant closed by my house or else I would have never discovered this place read more

Utterly disgusting Tried this place out because we thought we'd support a local business and hopefully have something better than your basic Asian fast food place. We were wrong! Drive to Brooklyn Park and get Panda Express. It'll save you money. Staff is sweet and nice but the food is dog poop. Ordered "orange flavor chicken", beef and broccoli, salmon, tuna and tempura sushi rolls. Chicken was okay. Beef and broccoli tasted like dog food. Don't get me started on the mush they call sushi. Just stop while you're ahead. $60 on food for two read more

The food is OK but they started shrinking the size of each order but charging the same. A take out serving of Gen Tso's or Kung Pao is now HALF of what you used to get. Now the tray is half RICE instead of a full tray of what you ordered. You get home and realize you were jipped. Check your take out before you pay for it. Ownership does not have the courtesy to respond to complaints. Go ELSEWHERE!!! read more

This food was very good. Good seasoning, flavor, and hot for take out!! The crabmeat cheese wontons were off the hook!! Order the Thai Mongolian Beef and Chicken with mixed vegetables. The Thai Beef was spicy but not that hot. Both dishes were very good!! Definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Pretty good, decent portions. Sushi was good and fresh as well. Nothing to complain about

I like it and the service is always very good and the owner or manager seams to care he always come out from the back to check on the customers. It may not be the best but it's a very safe option where everyone can find something they like. Their sushi is good I really liked the shrimp tempura roll and the spicy scallop, their Massaman Curry is good (just beware it comes with mushrooms and bell peppers even though it does not list it) and I've also enjoyed several of the Chinese dishes General TSO, Orange chicken and Fried rice. read more

It's too bad that the family doesn't still operate this place. The young gal they left as a cook here exploded with resentment 3 feet away from me across the airy barrier which isn't a wall that my asking for no mushrooms was a special order, God forbid. She microwaved the same stuff everyone else gets. I got 7 mushrooms. They didn't ask first if that was okay. I never heard of an Asian restaurant refusing such a simple direction or being run by someone who feels entitled to explode if asked to do something besides microwaving pre-made things. She also made a lot of noise on the other side of what amounts to an empty bookcase. The music they played was modern girl rock which also made me very uncomfortable. I like traditional Asian music in a traditional Asian restaurant with traditional polite manners and 100% microwave-free food made to order. And I care. I care very much. read more

Ordered takeout here and the food was great. I had the vegetable pad Thai; the flavor was delicious and it was definitely fresh. When we went to pick it up, the girl working said how happy she was that we decided to try it. It was a good experience and I will be eating here again. read more

Joy Kitchen - Garlic Chicken at top, Crab Wonton and Potstickers in the middle, and Shrimp Pad Thai at bottom. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Andover, Minnesota

Red curry review only. Taste lacked depth of flavor. Flat and bland. Portion size is adequate, although it's not the cheapest place. read more

The menu contains all your regular chinese take out but also contains a few Thai entrees (pad Thai, red green, and massaman curry). The sushi is reasonably priced with chef special rolls ranging from $13-$15. Typical sushi rolls are very affordable, I would compare the price to average happy hour prices. *recommend: ordering from their lunch special, you can pick 2 rolls for $8 or 3 rolls for $11 and it includes soup or salad. Overall a decent convenient sushi restaurant that is minutes away from home. My only complaint is the lack of spoken English from the hostess. Please have someone that speaks loud and clearly on the phone. read more

For a Japanese restaurant, they offer Thai food which actually tasted pretty good. We ordered the pad Thai, had the right appearance and correct flavors. Would come back and try the other Thai items. On the other hand, the Chinese selections were just ok. Nothing special and not the greatest. I would advise not to try the chinese items as we got the dinner combo and it didn't do it for me. Sushi items were good. We ordered the speciality rolls and it was very delicious. Can't remember which one but it had the jalapeños in them. We also had few common sushi rolls, not bad. To sum it all up....try the speciality rolls and Thai items! read more

Amazing food fast service. We have only done take out. The only complaint is that it is hit and miss on the phone while ordering. Some times they don't understand what you are ordering. read more

It was alright, the sushi wasn't anything special but it wasn't terrible, definitely better then something from the grocery store. The crab wonton's had a lot of grease inside and weren't great but we ate them, and there house special fried rice didn't have a ton of flavor but it was alright. Not the best Japanese restaurant around but it was alright, we wouldn't order there sushi again but would probably get the fried rice or lo main. Wish they served alcohol instead of just beer and wine as well. The staff was super friendly though and checked on us and refilled our beverages often. read more

Ended up here for dinner with my daughter the other night. I'm not from the area, but I had trusty Yelp to lead me to greatness. First impression was the staff seemed a little frazzled, but I guess it was a little busy, so that was fine. Once we sat down, and got our drinks, it took a whiiiiile for our server to come back. I ended up having to flag her down to order food, which happens. The four stars is not for the service, which wasn't horribly awful, but I overheard my server telling someone it was her first serving job, and it definitely showed. The four stars is instead for the food. They had a good deal $20 for 2 entrees and an appetizer. My date was a 4 year old, so that mean 2 entrees for me, and an app for her (kidding) Both entrees had a good amount of flavor, the general Tso's chicken even more than the pad Thai. The portions were also huge. We both ate to our heart's desire, and had two PACKED boxes to take home. The appetizer came .1 second before the entrees did, so timing wasn't fabulous, but not enough to be disgruntled about. The food also came out fast, which was nice. Overall, if In the area, I would return, but I won't be making a special trip out there. read more

I wanted to like this place so much being that there aren't very many sushi places in this area. However, I was extremely disappointed. Service was awful. The waitress seemed disinterested in her job and wasn't very forthcoming regarding specials and menu items. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she was new but besides her lack of knowledge; her attentiveness was lacking as well. (Note, I read a review that stated how great the hamachi kama was at this place, and the waitress told us they didn't serve it.) We were extremely hungry so decided to order quite the selection of items from their sushi menu as well as from their Chinese menu. We ordered the squid salad and their kani salad which were mediocre in my opinion. We ordered 3 different types of sushi. 1 tempura option and two fish options from the special roll section. Although the sushi was nicely prepared, it was obvious that the over usage of spicy mayo sauce and eel sauce was to cover up the fact that their fish options were just not that fresh or good. The sushi prices were consistent with other sushi restaurants but the flavors were not at all in comparison. I recommend stepping up their service as well as improving on some of their products in their sushi. Until then, I would not be coming back. read more

Food had great quality. We ordered out and the food was ready at their stated time. The sushi was fresh. My wife enjoyed the pad thai. She's always said that you can tell if a restaurant is good or not based on their pad thai. Joy Kitchen did not disappoint. read more

Good pick up experience. The shrimp tempura roll, crab rangoons and beef and broccoli is my favorite.

So far I've ordered from this restaurant twice and will be back. The first time I selected a lunch combo from the Chinese menu. The garlic chicken had good flavor and the rice was perfect! I also ordered Tom Yum soup and to my surprise, it came in a HUGE container. I actually found it to be one of the better Tom Yums I've had in awhile so would definitely order it again. The only down side was that it needed more of a kick of spice to really bring out the flavor. Upon my return I ordered the Red Curry with chicken and although it was flavorful, it was very bland. I love spice so had to add some of my own condiments to spice up the flavor accordingly. They did not ask me what level I wanted so next time I'll just have to request that it be "spicy" and see what happens. In addition, I gave the Hot and Sour soup a try (thought it might be nice to bring to work the next day for lunch), and once again, it came in a huge container with a side of fried won tons. Very flavorful soup and I would also order that again. All in all, I'm enjoying this new addition to the food scene up here! read more
