Our longtime favorite -- worth the drive every time! We've been going to Joy Luck for several years now, and truly, it never disappoints. It's hands-down the best Chinese food in the area. We happily make the trek out to Sandy just for this place, and whenever we have a show at Hale Centre Theatre, Joy Luck is our pre-show tradition. This visit was no different: no wait, quick seating, and incredibly fast service -- which is a lifesaver when you're trying not to be late for curtain time. We started with the deep-fried cream cheese wontons, perfectly crisp with a delicious sweet-and-sour dipping sauce. (Confession: I sometimes pour a little of that sauce over my rice instead of soy -- it adds the best hint of sweetness!) We each got soup as well: hot & sour for my partner and egg drop for me. Their egg drop soup is the best I've ever had. Sometimes I crave it and stop by just for a bowl. For mains, we ordered the black pepper steak and the cantonese noodles with chicken. As expected, everything was flavorful, saucy, and served in generous portions. You absolutely get your money's worth here. One thing I love is their huge menu -- so many options, and everything we've tried over the years has been great. I'm also a big fan of their combination dinners where you get an entrée, soup, rice, eggroll, and fried shimp. Perfect if you want your own complete plate, but also easy to mix, match, and share if you're going family-style. Joy Luck has been consistently wonderful for years: friendly staff, fast service, big portions, and truly delicious food. We'll keep coming back -- pre-show or not! read more

Great American Chinese food! Food is fresh. Service is great (but beware, if you have a gluten allergy, make sure you get a server who is familiar with what dishes are and aren't truly gluten free). Ambience is lovely. We love the gluten free sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and veggie rice noodles! The portions are huge, so you have plenty to take home with you! read more

Joy Luck Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Sandy, Utah

If I'm being honest, when I initially walked in I was ready to be disappointed, BUT the food was delicious! My uncle from out of town wanted asian food, so we decided to come here. The restaurant is huge and beautifully decorated, and the staff are so friendly. I do want to say that the food doesn't taste like authentic chinese food, but the food itself was very delicious. I loved that there was a good variety and the combos come in a pretty generous portion. It even comes with a soup or salad! Overall we had a wonderful experience and enjoyed our meal :) read more

Service was very quick and attentive. Food came out very quickly and the portions were definitely for sharing. The flavor is incredibly good! It was absolutely amazing and on top of that 80% of the menus was gluten free. So we were in heaven! It wasn't too loud and we were able to have a nice, quiet dinner. High recommend! read more

These are genuinely the nicest servers on the planet. You will not get better service. Seriously. Worlds best. Their lunch special is my favorite, it's so much food, so many options and the price is unbeatable. I love their egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. Love the ham fried rice. Love a side salad. Love anything with water chestnuts in it. Did their Thai basil this last time but I also have enjoyed the mushroom. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place. This is the third or fourth time I've eaten here. We ordered moo goo gai pan, lemon chicken, and ham fried rice. The Moo goo gai pan was excellent. The gravy has a nice garlic flavor and would've made a great sauce for chow Mein. The lemon chicken was too sour and needed more sweetness. The chicken was also over cooked and was hard to chew. The fried rice had nice chunks of ham and was seasoned just right. No MSG. We also ordered a side of chow Mein. It tasted like noodles and soy sauce. Don't order this. Overall, not bad. Definitely not authentic. But that's what I was going for tonight. I didn't want to go to Panda read more

Ordered take out. Called it in when I was leaving the South Town Mall. Ordered beef and broccoli combo for my wife and ma po tofu combo for me. He wasn't accurate when the gentleman on the phone told me it would be 15 minutes or so. I drove there, it is literally a 3 minute drive. Parked the car, went in, paid for my order, was told it would be a few minutes. One minute later, out came my order. This was blazing fast! Blazing fast. Five minutes. This is my first time here. This is a large restaurant. It was Friday night and the parking lot and place was packed. The place looks somewhat classy. Now the food. First of all, the portions are quite generous. I've had two meals already and I still have enough for another one plus. My wife said the beef wasn't cut thinly like most places, but was good as was the broccoli. So was her egg drop soup. My ma po tofu was excellent. The flavor was perfect. The heat was just right, enough of a kick to make my nose run a bit, but not too much that I was burning. Nice cubes of silken tofu, quarter cuts of black mushrooms, tender slices of pork, thin slices of green peppers...and shrimp! Never had shrimp in ma po tofu before. This was excellent. I highly recommend upgrading your entreé to the combo dinner. You get a choice of soup or salad, an egg roll, fried rice with ham, and a large deep fried butterflied shrimp for only $3.75. Definitely worth it. My hot and sour soup was excellent. The shrimp was excellent. Although the egg roll pales compared to my mom's :) it still had some meat in it and was nice and crispy. I was beginning to give up finding a decent Chinese restaurant since moving here. I now have hope. And it is only 5 minutes from my house. Bonus. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

I was in Draper/Sandy about a year ago and I stopped in here about a half hour before closing. It was good then but not as memorable. My visit this week was on point. general tsao's chicken was fresh, well prepared and definitely something that I would order again.. the restaurant was hopin' but the service was excellent also. Portions are large so plan on sharing or taking home some leftovers. read more

The food here is so tasty and the combos are plenty of food to feed you. I saw food I have never seen at other restaurants. Go try these guys out and enjoy the great food. read more

I'm always on the hunt for new places to eat that are better than the previous. This was my purpose for coming here. My buddy has dinner here regularly so ai picked up a ton of good order with my typical beef fried rice, Szechwan beef and pot stickers. I found the food good but not better than any of the places I order from nearer to my home. Perhaps I need to dine in to see if I'm missing something by taking out. The Host was very pleasant, the food was delivered very quickly and the men's bathroom was very clean. I like the Joy Luck Club and I think you will too. read more

Usually never have issues with this location but today was different sadly! We had a reservation for 7pm. Showed up 20 mins early since we did have a larger party of 8 and the host let us know we would be seated shortly. That was not the case.. 2 other party's of large size 8 no reservation walk in where sat down before us at 7pm. Then after waiting for 18 mins, being ignored and other walk in party's of the same size seated and constantly trying to get the hosts name he would not give it up. Pretty disappointed with the respect and attitude of the young man but you live and you learn. We will be spending our night elsewhere. For better luck try the Joy luck in bountiful much smoother paced. read more

Food is really good, prices are "reasonably" fair, portions are a good size, dining room is clean. A nice place but definitely needs an atmosphere refresh. read more

First off, I've lived in Sandy since 2015 and have driven by this restaurant almost every week day since 2016. I've always wondered how it was, but never wanted to take a chance. I came here with my coworkers for lunch and was pleasantly surprised from start to finish. My husband is normally the Chinese food guy. I am often not in the mood, and have a hard time finding places I'm enthusiastic about. But I went back to this spot soon after my first visit because I loved it so much. I got honey walnut shrimp, which is my go-to. The lunch special prices were super fair, and the portions were generous. Highly recommend trying at lunch time since the stakes are lower than at dinner. Our food came out quickly, and everyone at the table was happy with their food. We were seated quickly. Our service was fine--nothing stands out in either a positive or negative direction. My second visit was for dinner with my family. We had a bit of a wait, but nothing too crazy, and the quoted time was accurate. Food and service were consistent on my second visit. I genuinely like Joy Luck and will be happy to go back anytime my husband wants Chinese food. read more

We had a wonderful experience and a tasty meal. We are traveling with our service dog, and had zero issues, looks or improper interactions. We were seated right away on a Saturday night, and given a quiet back corner booth which helps reduce distractions. Our server (Fong) was fantastic. She was very attentive, and kindly brought our dog a bowl of water (unprompted). Food was very good, proportions generous and pricing was fair. It is stressful to travel and dine in unfamiliar places, you never know if you'll have a bad experience related to having a service dog. Joy Luck made it very easy, comfortable and I would be happy to return the next time I'm in the area. Thank you! read more

Every time I pass through the area, I get a week's worth of take-out from Joy Luck! I had to give up gluten 15 years ago, and Chinese food is some of the most difficult to find gluten free. I love how much of Joy Luck's menu is accessible to me, and everything I've tried has been SUPERB. I love this place! read more

Love this place !! Great family friendly and meet for business lunch spot we come here all the time. Friendly and fast service with a smile

The Bountiful Joy Luck is one of my favorite restaurants, and this location is growing on me. The food here is just as amazing as at the Bountiful location (I think the menu might actually be a little bigger). And it's just as good of a deal--lots of food for the price; you're pretty much guaranteed to have leftovers. The ambience here is similar but not quite as good. It feels a little more crowded in some places, maybe because the front of the restaurant is more narrow. Finally, the service. I definitely get better service in Bountiful--although the staff knows me there from many years of patronage, which probably contributes. I also don't understand why there are no lazy Susans on the round tables at this location. read more

We desperately were in a search of hot and sour soup and that's when we stumbled upon this place. We didn't expect that sort of heavy crowd and we had to wait for 25 mins to get to our table. We ordered two individual platters which comes with a choice of hot and sour soup and a salad. One egg roll, fried shrimp, ham fried rice which we got it replaced with chicken fried rice and an entree- Chinese chicken curry was our choice-. We also ordered pot stickers. We had them made to spice level 4 and since we really like our food hot we loved every bit of it. This is by far the best Chinese restaurant we tried. Ambiance is pretty decent and our server was so attentive and extremely nice to us. read more

The egg rolls taste like fish and are greasy. They really need to change their frying oil. The cream cheese wontons were soggy and came to the table lukewarm at best. The Mongolian noodles and pan fried noodles were delicious. I will return for entrees and skip the appetizers. read more

First off the service was incredible. Our glasses never got below half empty before they were filled up again. Also, our waiter overheard our 2 year old being upset about not having any more of the creamy egg drop soup and he brought us another one just for her. We ordered the family size meal that included half a bobo, I got the red curry and my husband had the sweet and sour pork. The curry was outstanding; seriously I ate until I couldn't any more. The sweet and sour was crunchy and delicious. We will absolutely be making this our go to spot! read more

Consistent good food. Attentive servers. Could use some updates in the building. Keep going back

Good food and reliable every time. I do wish they still had egg foo young on the menu and offered fortune cookies with takeout orders.

I absolutely love the pon pon chicken! This is one of my favorite places. I haven't tried anything I don't like yet, though I do wish they would use better greens for their salad and not just iceberg. read more

The food was delivered promptly while it was still hot. Everyone was happy with what we ordered. Including the picky teenager. We enjoyed our meal. read more

Decided to stop in and try this place over the weekend and we were pleasantly surprised. It was busy and we had a wait when we showed up. It wasn't too long 10-15 minutes at most. I will say our server was slightly surprised when we ordered hot tea with our appetizers. We decided on the Bo Bo Platter as we couldn't decide on one or two only. That platter was huge and delicious. We also order the basics really fried rice, yakisoba noodles, A beef and vegetable dish, and sweet and sour chicken. Everything was pretty tasty. The only thing we were kind of whatever about was the egg drop soup which we just added salt and pepper to. Over all the food was great and so were the people. read more

I could make an entire meal out of their eggrolls. I love in St George where there are not any remotely decent Chinese places and I couldn't want to stay in Sandy and have Chinese. Ordered take out from here as I was up for a conference and I wish I would have ordered just eggrolls and maybe rice. Everything I order was great, but for some reason the eggroll stood out. Happy family was fantastic as well. read more

Excellent excellent food, what a pleasant suprise! I was jonesing for some Chinese, not thai not "asian" CHINESE. I happened to be in Sandy, and hit the yelp. I looked decent so I gave it a try, and I'm glad i did. Food reviews Hot and Sour Soup 5 stars- I really really wanted some hot and sour and this soup was some of the best I've ever had. tangy and peppery, very tasty. Nice portion also. Potstickers 4 stars, really nothing wrong with them, just not perfection. Eggplant with beef 5 stars. I zoned in on the eggplant on the menu as I love asian eggplants so much i grow them in my garden. This did not disappoint. Tasty rich sauce, eggplant cooked just right with tender beef portions. This is the dish that said legit restaurant. Portions across the board were excellent with nice presentation on each dish. So why the 4 stars? Service was inattentive. Not bad just ignored. long time to order, long time for dishes, worst sin of all was my constantly empty water glass. Also I ordered eggplant with beef and got some other stir fry dish without any eggplant in it. When i corrected them, they were very polite, but i had to wait 10 more minutes. Disclaimer, it was 2 in the afternoon, the traditional Chinese restaurant down time, so that may have been why the service was less than stellar. Excellent food, i hope they do better at regular meal times. The food was good enough to want to go back to find out! read more

The parking lot looked full but we were seated right away in our own quiet corner of the restaurant. They have an extensive gluten free menu which is amazing especially for Chinese food. The service was seriously fast food fast. I was astounded. And the gluten free orange chicken was great! My friend who eats normal food couldn't tell it was gluten free. Loved that it wasn't spicy at all. And I really liked the smoky flavor of the Cantonese flat noodles (which are also gluten free). So glad we had dinner there! read more

Place is okay for luck special but nothing great about this place. Have been there 2x. Same guys working there both time. One guy very friendly and other guy (shorter a grump).

This place serves family style food. This is a good place to go to if you're with a bigger group and want to order a bunch of different things and split it amongst everyone. Service was slow and a little grouchy, but overall, the food isn't bad. Go if you're with a big group and craving some Chinese. read more

I loved this place! I got the lemon chicken as a classic family combo (about $4 more than the base price) and you get a ton of food! Making it a classic family combination adds choice of soup (I got hot and sour), 1 Fried Prawn, 1 Egg Roll, and 2 Cheese Wontons plus ham fried rice. The hot and sour soup was SO good. I'm usually not a big soup person but this was some of the best I've had. The prawn, egg roll, and cheese wontons were very good as well. The lemon chicken itself was a HUGE portion size and I really liked the sauce. Overall I would definitely recommend Joy Luck when you're in the mood for Chinese! read more
