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

I love this restaurant. Service is good and the sushi is excellent. Chinese menu is really good also. Prices are really fair and atmosphere is nice. A good choice for lunch or dinner! read more

I just got to say something after the last meal out of joys Petty bad We spent $57 for food for 2 I had steak and shrimp Wife had shrimp and scallops Fry rice and a sushi roll and 2 egg roll The food was small portions and no flavor The value has slipped and quality also Joys has been a staple for us because it's so close I don't think we'll go back read more

Food was good. Spice could have been punched up a little but it tasted good either way.

I went here tonight with my daughter and the food was excellent. We have the crab cheese wontons. They were hot and fresh. There was the right balance of sweet and crab. The sauce was also really good and not overly sweet. We had the Andover roll that is a specialty roll that had more than one kind of tuna, avocado and eel. It was very fresh and packed with tons of flavor. We also had an anger that was called dragon and Phoenix. It was a shrimp and vegetable on one side and general toas on the other. It was two very different flavors on one plate but I loved being able to try two entrees at once. Our waitress was fantastic and although it wasn't busy when we got there it was when we left especially for a Monday night. I will be back. read more

Wanted to really like this place. North West burbs could have used a decent Japanese sushi bar. The concept is Chinese restaurant that also has basic Thai dishes, and a basic sushi menu with a page of specialty rolls. Ordered the Red Curry chicken, salmon, Scallop, and hamachi nigiri, salmon avocado roll, salmon skin roll, negihama roll, and a bears roll. Curry was really good. I would rate it among some of the better Thai curries I have had. The nigiri was good. Fish quality was there. Negihama tasted a little fishy, but not a deal breaker. Salmon skin was Uramaki style which was fine, but I prefer a futomaki style. Salmon skin was a little more charred then a like, borderline burnt. My wife always gets the salmon avocado roll with the nori on the outside at many other sushi bars. More seasoned sushi Chefs know to use 1 and a half sheets to fit everything inside, but the server had to come back and explain to us that it wasn't possible. Instead of arguing we just agreed to have it the way the chef was able to make it. The bear roll was a specialty roll with softshell crab. It didn't label any sauce on the menu, but came with eel sauce and a curry sauce. The curry sauce was not my favorite. If I saw it labeled in the menu I would have ordered something different. The menu also has some simple spelling mistakes, again not a deal breaker. Overall the experience was around a 4 star, but I reduced it to a 3 because of some items I expected a Japanese restaurant to have that were not available. They just recently obtained their liquor license, but did not have any alcohol in stock, so no sake or sapparro with my sushi. They do not have hamachi kama on the menu nor able to make it. They do not offer any type of dessert. Really wanted a green tea or red bean Icecream. The sushi bar doesn't have seating infront of the Chefs. This place has a lot of potential. If they are able to iron out a few wrinkles there is no reason for a 5 star during my next visit, which will happen. I'm rooting for this place and look forward to checking it out again. read more

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

Ordered food to go at the hostess stand and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. There are coupons in the mail so I recommend looking for those, we had one for 10% off an order. Ordered the daily special orange chicken which was a lot of food. Got the cucumber salad and a shrimp tempura roll. Overall a good experience and they offer call ahead ordering! read more

Joy Kitchen - Daily special to go: orange chicken with fried rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Andover, Minnesota

I try to not to give bad reviews and this poor review is based on service. The food was exceptional. We got a California roll that was good. Nothing mind blowing. We then got sesame chicken and Szechwan chicken. Both were delicious and flavorful. The portions are large enough to feed 2 with leftovers. We also orders a side of steamed broccoli. She informed us that it would be an additional $1. Which was fine. We got our food and no broccoli side. I would have informed our server but she never returned until she dropped of the check. When I went to pay I told them we didn't get the broccoli they at first apologized. Then a cook said it was there. I didn't feel like arguing over a dollar. Again the food was delicious. Just poor service. read more

This place is awesome! I've eaten in and ordered take out. Both have been great. I really like the sushi and pad Thai. They have really good service. Oh and they have reasonable specials as well if you're into that. Give them a try! read more

Good food, but apparently they don't have chow mein noodles to add crunch to the entree. Not even if you ask twice.

The food was really good. We split a few things. Shrimp pad Thai was excellent with a good sized portion of shrimp. The lobster role was fantastic with an excellent sauce. Very smooth with avocado nestled inside. Finally I had the cubs roll which was salmon and tuna sushi and really good The only thing preventing this from 5 stars is the staff seems really green and our entrees came out in shifts with some major time gaps between. If the waitress would have told us it was coming that way it would have helped. This place could rock with just a little training. read more

I took my daughter to lunch here today to check it out, as it is new to the area. We were not disappointed. We orders four sushi rolls (buy 3, get 1 free), nice deal. The food was priced well and the service was quick and friendly. We ordered the salmon roll, California roll, dragon roll and a shrimp tempura roll (the actual name escapes me, but sushi lovers will know what that is). It's nice to have a good sushi place that won't kill you on price in the hood. It's not the best sushi I ever had, but it's very solid! I gave the place 5 stars for a great overall experience. read more

The food were delicious! The service was fast and our waiter was so nice. My favorite dish was the hamachi Kama. The fish was seasoned very well. read more

It's time to open your dining room or loose business. I am one of the many who prefer a dining experience rather than eating out of a plastic bag. read more

I just ate the best philly roll I have ever had from This place! The yellowtail sashimi was amazing and their cream cheese wontons are on par! This was The first time trying this place and we will definitely be back! Seaweed salad was amazing and the miso soup portion was enough for my husband to have 3 portions! read more

Wonderful service, everyone there was very nice and helpful. The food was mediocre-on the better side of average. Although it did lack flavor. Overall it was an OK experience. read more

As far as legitimate Asian cuisine goes the suburbs typically are not the places to frequent. My wife is from China, and we frequent back and forth that said Asian food is a large part of our diet. My wife happened to order from here, and when we got home and opened the bag her eyes widened. While it's not 100% authentic, it is really great food. I do think for the subarbanites who are picky, or not as culturally diverse that this is a great choice as the flavors are not too complex, but just enough warmth, grease, and crunchy veggies to make it feel like home no matter where you are from. Also during these uncertain times the owner/management have taken the pandemic very seriously.. the entire restaurant is/was polyed off and masks were utilized very much before it was "the thing to do" it may appear to be just another small take out place, but you have my word that it is more special than that. read more

This is the best Asian restaurant anywhere near Andover. We sat in a nicely decorated room. We started with half price beer and crab cream cheese wontons. The wontons weren't frozen, they were crisp and fresh. Not enough meat, but the red sauce was good. I ordered the beef and broccoli, he ordered the orange chicken. Veggies were fresh with a slight crisp. Beef was a lean, but tender, cut. The orange chicken tasted freshly battered. We each had a pork egg roll that was yummy. Crispy, not soggy. It was all just delicious! read more

Usually ok place for a bite... the scallop appetizer had absolutely no scallops but TONS of red onions chopped up and I could taste nothing but onions. I tried to find the scallops. I literally picked apart the dish with my fork... I asked my waitress if the cook accidentally left out the scallops but she just smiled and nodded her head...really disappointed because the dish wasn't cheap, especially because I could not find anything that could resemble a scallop or even a chopped up scallop, like maybe that little teensy white thing could possibly be a piece of seafood? Maybe? Only a very powerful RAW onion taste that followed me home and way into the night. ICK. ICK. If an eatery has a scallop dish on the menu, you should see a scallop. I wish I would of taken a picture of the sea of purple chopped onions. read more

Excellent Asian cuisine. Try the Szechuan Triple Delight!!!! BIG shrimp, chicken, and beef. Delightful!!!!

I was so excited to see that Andover was getting a sushi restaurant! I really wanted to like this place (even giving them a second try), but it just didn't do it for me. The first time I dined in for lunch. I ordered the lunch special of any 3 rolls for $11. My son ordered the lunch special of shrimp lo mein. I tried his lo mein and the fried rice. To be honest it was a little bland. The lunch special sushi rolls that I ordered were small in comparison to sushi rolls off the regular menu that aren't on lunch special. My rolls came out much later than my son's meal. I sat there watching my son eat for almost 15 minutes. When my rolls came out they were put together pretty sloppy and already falling apart before I can start eating them. During this time 3 separate wait staff came to check on us so I was never really sure who was our waiter/ waitress. Also our first waitress couldn't answer basic menu questions. I had to ask for water and utensils since there wasn't any given to us. Water glasses and utensils are basic and you shouldn't have to track someone down to get these things. I decided that since they are a new restaurant, I'd give them another chance to work out the kinks. The second time I decided to take my order to go. Once again my specialty sushi rolls were made sloppy. The eel on top of my rolls was so overcooked that it was like trying to chew on beef jerky. The rest of the rolls, although sloppy looking, tasted okay, but again, nothing to really brag about. The shrimp tempura appetizer was really good though. Not sure I will give them another try. Was hoping for a better experience. read more

This place has really tasty sushi at a really affordable price. They also have your standard orange chicken and lo mein and such so you can bring kids or picky eaters. The service is always really good here and they have both lunch and dinner specials which is really cool. They have your standard sushi rolls as well as some unique ones. read more

Great food at great prices. What more do you need from a restaurant. I can't comment on the wait staff as I always do take out.

I really like this place. The food tastes so good and it's affordable. I recommend it

The food is great but they could be more organized when it comes the takeout. There is always a long line for takeout even though most of the food is ready. The gals working the check out always seemed overwhelmed. But the food is worth the wait in line. read more

I have never dined in here, so my review is solely based on my takeout experience. Their service is prompt and your food is always ready in the amount of time they say it will be. The house fried rice is amazing and flavorful. The bad part... the soy paper. The soy paper is flimsy and breaks extremely easy which makes a catastrophic sushi mess. It has came broken a few times now and it makes it extremely hard to eat. read more

We brought the family from out of town here for dinner. Top notch service and amazing sushi and authentic Asian cuisine. The saki was good too! We highly recommend this establishment! read more

Sorry, not that great. It's strip mall quality Chinese food. Had the sweet and sour chicken. I found it the same quality as something that you would find in a grocery freezer. Everything seemed like it came from a box. It was not horrible, just far from memorable. read more

All 4 people at the table ordered a mixed drink, waitress wrote down our order, when drinks where brought out they where just sodas. We asked about it and it was not until then that they told us they only have beer wine, this was after a confusing conversation cause they barley spoke English. The sushi we had was ok, much better at other places close by. Shortly after eating everyone got sick. Second time I have been there, second time getting sick. Was excited to have a nice sushi restaurant nearby but I'm taking this one off my list. read more

Most bland General Tso's chicken I've ever had. Really wanted to like this place. Too bad.

Portions were filling with leftovers to take home. We will be back for sure! I will also be trying the sushi it looked awesomeness read more
