    Inside.  Come as you are!
    Steve K.

    I went here for lunch today. It's about as good as you'd expect. I'm not saying it was bad - I had a decent lunch and am very full. But it just wasn't anything to write home about so I am writing here instead. There are so many restaurants in the area like this one and I never go to any because they all look a bit run down. I'm going to try to visit them all so I can help you know if they are worth it. This is a very casual small chinese restaurant. There are about 10-12 tables inside (see photo). You order at the counter and sit down. The menu / items are a bit confusing. The menu up behind the counter doesn't have much listed, but there are a number of old photos with pictures and labels for many dishes. I got a hot and sour soup and a sesame chicken with rice and a diet Pepsi (no Coke). This came to $15. The hot and sour soup was freshly made - you can usually tell by how cloudy it is (or isn't, in the case of fresh soup). It tasted different than what I was expecting. Almost like it was made with a dense chicken broth. It didn't have any of the usual vegetables in it like mushrooms or bamboo shoots. Just egg and tofu. It was ok, but not great. They do give you some nice fried won tons to go with it. The chicken came out a few minutes later and it was funny because it looked very much like the picture - not super appetizing. The chicken had a heavy glaze and the rice was brown but I do not think it was brown rice. The chicken was all right - very sweet, not a lot of sesame on it but you know, for a place like this, is was good. I mean I ate the whole plate so that must mean something. The rice was shady - I couldn't tell if it was white rice mixed with a little soy or what. I always am wary of places that serve rice like this - they used to mix old/leftover rice like this and serve it as fresh. It was fine - bland but didn't taste off. I mean I had a decent lunch but I don't know that I am hankering to go back. It's good but not great.

    I've been to many Chinese restaurants during my lifetime, but Joy Luck is by far the best! I live in Grand Prairie near I-20 and 161, but the 10 minute drive is definitely worth it. I'm a big broccoli and chicken fan and the "Broccoli Plate with Chicken" doesn't disappoint. The ingredients are super fresh, but the white sauce definitely makes the plate special. I'm not really a broccoli and beef person, but the brown sauce thy use with the "Broccoli Plate with Beef" is super delicious, as well. I was told that all of their sauces are made from scratch. In addition to the amazing food, the owner and staff are also very nice and friendly. This is my go to place when I want some good Chinese food! If you're in Grand Prairie, there's no excuse not to try it out! If you're in Dallas, Arlington, Irving, Duncanville, Cedar Hill or Mansfield and you're wanting to try something new, it's definitely worth the drive!

    Orange chicken
    Aj P.

    Great customer service! The gentleman who took my order was friendly and personable with me and everyone who walked in. The orange chicken I ordered was incredible, absolutely loved the crunch and flavor on the orange chicken. The only negative I'd say is, way to much sauce and the fried rice had no flavor or vegetables. Other then that, I'd recommend trying this restaurant out.

    Chow mien plain fried rice kung pao chicken
    Jonny K.

    Joy Luck Joy Luck is your typical Americanized Chinese restaurant. I've never been inside of the restaurant because we always order takeout. Usually I like to eat authentic Chinese food. However sometimes I prefer eating Americanized Chinese. The dishes overall have an average portion size and good flavor. The lo mien are like pasta noodles but slightly thicker and have good flavor. The fried rice is just plain fried rice that has nothing on it. There meat dishes are cooked tender and all taste how they are supposed to be. The only dish I don't like is the sesame chicken because there is a tiny bit to much batter on the chicken and there are also small pieces of fried batter with no chicken. My most favorite dish they have is the kung pao chicken. The dish is mild and I wish it was spicier. The dish also has nuts and water chestnuts to give the dish a crunchy and refreshing texture from the water chestnuts. I recommend ordering the beef lo mien, kung pao chicken.

    Combination fried rice.... disgusting!!!
    Ronnie B.

    I want even waste my time writing a lengthy review. I have one word for this meal TRASH!!! Combination fried rice.... Oily All meat: chicken, steak & shrimp tougher than jerky. Salty...soy sauce NOT needed. Avoid this restaurant at all cost.

    Chicken fried rice and chicken egg roll.
    Laquinta S.

    Workers were very friendly. Food was piping hot, really good and I got huge portions. I got an order of chicken fried rice and 4 egg rolls. It was enough food for my niece and I to eat for dinner. Plus, it was enough food left over for me to take to lunch for work the next day. All for $9, what a deal!

    Egg Drop

    I was pleasantly surprised on how good this place was I've gotten really burned out on the buffet style because everything is so nasty and overcooked. It was nice to find a place that actually does fresh cooked on the spot Asian food everything tasted very crisp fresh and we're on point. Service was very friendly seemed like he knew everyone that was local that came in there I felt very at home I sat down and had an awesome meal. Rice was very good , egg rolls excellent crispy, and my meal was cooked to Perfection very pleased was a very good lunch. Don't let the outside look throw you it's a little divey looking but it's great food.

    Hunan Beef
    Steve A.

    Many years ago, it may have been a KFC, but for many years they have been serving out healthy portions of Chinese food, with perhaps a slight Korean kick. Good variety of food, brought out quickly and served hot. Favorites are orange chicken and Hunan beef, with plenty of vegetables. Help support the unique downtown Grand Prairie restaurants. You won't be disappointed.

    Ja Jang Myun, it's not on the menu, but depending on who's back there, they might make it for you

    See all

    I've tried this place more than once and consider it very sub-par Chinese with few options. Rice is nothing special.

    I ordered ahead and all my food was just how I asked for it. Also the portion size is pretty good for the price. 5 stars for me!
