This is best Chinese food I've had in a long time. The portions are very generous, enough for leftovers the next day. And the day after that. And for such a good price. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, lots of large shrimp cooked perfectly over very flavorful fried rice. I can't wait to go back again. Highly recommend Joy Luck Club. read more

I went to this place and got a very nice meal around noon. A few months later came back late in the day, and the meal was not as tasty. Maybe it's fresher earlier in the day? What I had the first time was great. The second time, so-so. read more

Expensive but generous portions. Take out and only cash. Fast service. Always 20 min or less.

This restaurant may look small, but they deliver big. We ordered a chicken dish, a beef dish, and black bean prawns. Everything was Excellent . Worth every penny. Call ahead to give them time. read more

Delicious, fresh food at a reasonable price. I really like this place. General Tsoa chicken is amazing

I spent $80.00 and I will not be back. The orange chicken was missing chicken. Little tiny hard deep fried balls. The General Tao chicken was as bad. Both chicken dishes were lacking flavor. We had the house special chow mein and house special rice as well. My company ate the chow mein and rice but we threw the other 3 chicken dishes in the garbage. Sorry to say we won't be back. What an embarrassment. read more

Spent $60. Owner states the menus online are wrong. What we thought would be (including a tip) $42. My husband left after pickup price of $60. After questioning, the restaurant states menu pricing is wrong online. That isn't good. The pot stickers were hard as rocks - ordered salt & pepper squid. They said no squid. So I said prawns would be ok. Then I got some kind of greasy fried prawns with hot jalapenos!- no sauce at all? Just horrible. Be sure you check total before placing order. read more

The food is always really good love the portion sizes and the prices are decent for the quality & quantity

Nothing to be scared about!!! After the reviews on here I was really nervous to go into this place, but I needed a Wonton Soup and I didn't want to drive to Port Townsend. When I pulled up I was still nervous, but when I walked in, the place was clean and I watched the cook make the food and it was definitely authentic. The lady that took my order was so pleasant to talk to. The leap of faith did me right. I only ordered Pot Stickers and Wor WONTON SOUP, But the food was on point. The pot stickers were fresh, hot and the dipping sauce was fantastic!!! Even has a little spicy kick to it but not to much! The soup was hot, the veggies were fresh and the wontons and meat were plentiful! The broth was delicious. I'm not sure where the bad reviews came from because they definitely didn't eat at Joy Luck in Port Hadlock. read more

The new owners have really refreshed this place. The food is hot and fresh and affordable. Very fast service and friendly too. Big change from what it used to be. This is a staple for my family. read more

Unless you want a dine-in experience, Joy Luck is where you go to get the friendliest service, and the best deals on the biggest portions of the tastiest Chinese food in town. read more

A true hidden gem. It may not look like much from the outside but the food and service are wonderful. We ordered two dinner entree meals and an appetizer platter. The portions were large and the food was very tasty. We even got our food on a Friday night within 10 minutes! We will definitely come back here again. read more

Love this place! We get takeout pretty frequently. I have never had a bad experience or bad food. Great local family owned spot. Highly recommend Mongolian beef and house special fried rice. read more

We were so delighted to find the Joy Luck restaurant. The employee who answered the phone (and later delivered it to our waiting car) was very pleasant and helpful. We ordered several dishes (Kung Pac shrimp, sesame chicken, broccoli beef, hot/sour soup, pork fried rice, and egg rolls) and they were all outstanding! I was concerned that the egg rolls might lose crispiness before we got home , but they were delightful and delicious. We had enough fantastic food for 3 of us for over 3 meals each. As soon as we return to that area, we're placing another order with them the first day of our visit. read more

This restaurant should be named Bad Luck. They make the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. It actually gave me food poisoning. The food isn't fresh and the chicken was so dry and rubbery. There are better places nearby to order from. I will report this place to the Health Department. read more

Ordered a chicken and veggies stir fry, way too much rice. Had to dump it in the waste can at the neighboring QFC. The food was hot and had massive amounts of broccoli and mushrooms. Both I love. All the white meat chicken was fine except for one piece. Would I get lunch to go at this place, probably not. read more

We passed this local restaurant and stopped in. We were excited when we opened the containers it looked fresh and the veggies were cooked perfectly however the beef and broccoli was too salty and the beef was unchewable. The almond chicken tasted the same as the broccoli only with a ring of fish flavor. I normally don't post but at $26 for 2 takeout dishes we had to throw away I'm going to say something!! read more

Great place in the olympic pen! 10 bucks for a huge plate of beef chow mein! tasted extremely authentic and was ready within ten minutes! Friendly owner who doesn't allow in person dining at the moment--only to go right now read more

Eat here 1 to 2 times a week as takeout. Food always tastes great and well prepared. Staff always friendly with none of the issues mentioned in past reviews. They are closed on Mon and Tue. Highly recommend There is no seating area so take out only. read more

I love it here. Honestly the sweetest lady ever. The food is also much much better than it used to be than with previous owners. Would definitely recommend. read more

Love this place. Was sad to see the old orange leaves but new owners are super sweet and I love the new cheese wontons more now.

Just stopped in to this restaurant and had EXTREMELY racist experience! My husband and I (we are interracial) walked in, to pick up our order with our three year old daughter. The owners children were sitting at the counter and began talking to and interacting with her. The owner immediately rushed in, snatched up her kids aggressively, scolded them, all while giving our daughter and us the most disgusted dirty looks I have ever witnessed!! It was so shocking that the poor server apologized profusely for the owners behavior and explained that she only worked there. We got a refund and left. As soon as we left to the parking lot, the kids were back at the counter and there were other customers present. Just crazy!! read more

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, Chimacum area. Prices are very reasonable, and the food is hot and fresh when you get it. We've been coming here for a number of years, and it's consistent, something that's often hard to find, especially in a semi-rural area. Very generous portions are PACKED into the traditional style white paper containers. We are about 2-1/2mi from them, and normally from the time I call, and drive there, the food is ready when I arrive. Highly recommended! read more

Five years ago, I would duck into the tiny lunch counter on a cold winter day and order an egg-drop soup with broccoli for about $5. A great lunch, filling and with fresh and bright broccoli. The owner is always on hand, and hands on, and you can hear her arguing with her chef in the tiny, two-wok kitchen (always a good sign). She cares about the preparations and does much of the prep-work herself in the pms, rolling out the won-ton wrappers. Prices--under $10 for most entrees--can't be beat. It is still the best Chinese on the Oly Peninsula. Add to that convenient (and busy) take out service. Why not for dinner tonite? The daughter, who mans the cash-register sometimes, could smile more often... read more

We heard Joy Luck was under new management, so we decided to see how they are doing. I picked up some shrimp fried rice and General Tao's chicken. It was soooo good. New management is doing great. Portions are good, and food is great. read more

I'm not sure why anyone eats here. It's the worse Chinese food around and the meat is often undercooked with terrible working conditions. The egg rolls are good though, I'll give them that. read more

Despite the somewhat mixed reviews we decided to give them a try. We were not disappointed, the food was very good and reasonably priced. We had the Orange Chicken and BBQ pork fried rice which was enough for the both of us for two meals. We were impressed when they pulled a fresh orange out of the cooler for our order. They were busy on this Thursday evening and took a little longer to prepare our meal but it was worth the wait. Will definitely be back. read more

So, Ive been back to Joy Luck a few more times since my first visit in early summer. Consistently good food each time I order from here. I wish they opened up a place closer to my home in North Seattle. Greenwood has some nice places to eat, but we sure could use a Joy Luck Restaurant here! read more

Considering its the only Chinese food around pretty good I usually get General Tso's chicken pork fried rice maybe some barbecue pork read more

Joy Luck Restaurant - Its Chinese food what more do I have to say - Chinese Near Me - Port Hadlock, Washington

Where are the health inspectors? The owner was peeling shrimp on the dirty register counter before taking my order then handed me change and went back to the shrimp; never wore gloves or washed hands. I gave the food to homeless person out front and will never return. read more

Personally I'm a huge General General Tso's fan. That's all I've ever ordered from here, and 7 times out of 10 it is really decent! The other 3 were over cooked. It was still not bad though and way better than Safeway could ever imagine lol! To their credit, Joy Luck are the only ones around the area of Jefferson County that can make it tender on the inside and and The perfect crunch on the outside. My only downfall I have is sometimes the chicken pieces are way too big. If you're on the go, the plastic knife will not cut through those big chunks, and you're on your own till you find a knife. But I'm sure if you specify for a smaller cut pieces it would never be an issue. Not much to be able to complain about. read more

(UPDATED 2/2017) I've lived nearby and eaten here more in the 4+ years since my original review (from November of 2012), and I'm updating what I have to say. The food is actually a little hit-or-miss, I've found. I think it's a matter of who's in the kitchen; most of the time it's perfectly acceptable generic Chinese food, but occasionally it's way too salty or otherwise just not very good. I've had the mu shu pork a few times now and it's typically been okay, as has the curry chicken and the general tso's. The sweet and sour sauce is really bland, as are the egg rolls, but overall I'm changing my rating to 3 stars. Original Review: (1 star) Really disappointing. The Mu Shu Pork was almost unbearably salty and the Sesame Beef was mostly gristle. read more

sreća je vrlo gruba !! s mesom se loše postupa, ovdje ne želite jesti. Ja vas spasim !!

This is hands down the best Chinese food in Jefferson county!!! Dishes are fresh, well seasoned, and huge portions. Don't miss this hidden gem! read more

I tried the mu shu chicken and pork pot stickers and found both to be quite tasty! I got a ton of food for 16 bucks and will be going to get take out again there soon! read more

A very modest and unassuming Chinese food place. Very very small. My husband and I really enjoy the Hot and Sour soup and you can get a lot of it for six bucks. We have not tried any other take-out items there yet but we will. read more

Food tasted horrible. It's pretty obvious that the multi star posters are just social engineering. The sauces were slimy, and clearly our of a bag. When the cook misread the order slip the counter lady was quite nice about correcting, but the food is poorly prepared. read more

Very dirty! Used to be good food. Last time I went in I took my food home and didn't eat it. I just kept thinking about the filthy conditions! My husband ate his and didn't care about how filthy the place was. I will have to say, I haven't been there in at least 6 months, so maybe it's cleaner now. read more

They just renovated at the end of 2015. There's a small bar inside for a few people to eat if they want. It's a small family owned business and the lady at the register is very nice. The food is extremely affordable and the portions are huge. The lunch specials are a killer deal and you get a free drink. If they had a website and a menu posted online I really think they would get more business because I've only ever had fantastic food from them. There are other "Joy Luck" businesses online but they are located elsewhere. They even accommodated a coworker of mine who's allergic to nuts and dairy with no qualms or extra charges. read more

Overpriced! Greasy and over cooked! Sauces for dishes were freezing cold. Ketchup and hot sauce mixed together in a container and served to us that way. Disgusting food! read more
