    Trying out gluten free Chinese food
    Mario T.

    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!

    Ham fried rice
    Anthony C.

    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

    Ma Po Tofu
    Brad H.

    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!

    .Seated right away. Good customer service. Ordered pot stickers, they were crispy and hot when served. Orange chicken had a good orange flavor, light breading. Chicken lomein was tender noodles, tender chicken. Veru good first visit.

    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.

    General Tsao (very nice crispness) and Spicy Garlic sauce with chicken
    Kylie K.

    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!

    Are there any low carb options? I'm hoping to get veggies and meat, but it looks like everything is covered in sauce (which is most likely full of sugar). Any suggestions?…

    It's been my experience that if you ask for something special, they will make it - so if you ask your server to reduce or eliminate sugary sauces, they probably will...

    My mother-in-law recommended this to me. I'm usually really hesitant when people recommend Chinese…read moreRestaurants to me. I'm not a big fan of the "Panda Express" tasting Chinese food. For starters, we ordered the Wor Wonton Soup. The broth was rich and hearty. The shrimps were large and plentiful. All the vegetables blended in with the flavors. I just wish the beef was a little more tender. A little marinade in baking soda would fix this. We ordered some chicken lettuce wraps. This has minced chicken, celery, bamboo shoots, and carrots. These are good by themselves but are best with hoisin sauce. I just wish the lettuce leaves were bigger. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was also good. The sauce had a nice blend of mayo, honey and lemon. It had a little too much breading for me but still tasted good. For $16.99, I wished there was a bit more shrimp. One thing I really appreciate - they GLAZE the walnuts! This is one of the few places that I actually like the sauce and they glaze the walnuts! The Crispy Beef is definitely my favorite. In fact, I think this is better than the one I get from Red Maple. It was not too sweet and had just the right amount of heat. Again, I really wish they would marinate the beef in baking soda to soften it up. The last dish we ordered was the Garlic Chicken. The server forgot to put the order in for this dish and there was a rush to get it out to us. They forgot to put garlic in this dish so wee sent it back. It was perfect when it came back. This place is fast becoming our go-to-place for Chinese Food. It's was a nice surprise and I'll can't wait to try the other dishes!

The look of the restaurant inside has changed a few times. when I was there last there was a casual seating area at the back of the restaurant. There were people there waiting for takeout orders. I really enjoyed the great chow mein with the beef. Next time I might try it with chicken or pork because the beef was a little hard to chew for my liking. The noodles tasted delicious and flavorful. I always have to order the cold cucumber salad. It is a great accompaniment to any dish. I added the peanuts to the cucumbers because I really like them together so if you order the cucumbers, they will not come with peanuts. It is a strange request, but they accommodated me with no problem. They had a case at the front of the restaurant with grapes and strawberries, skewered and coated in a crunchy sugary coating. It was a little bit messy, but I did not mind because it tasted so good. The strawberries were super sweet, fresh and juicy with a thin, sweet crunchy shell. I will try the grapes next time.

We ordered: Fried rice - the corn in the fried rice tasted almost spoiled Beef brocoli - the beef was tender but not as tasty or fresh Garlic ribs - cut into small portions was not what I expected and a little dry Only great was the service and those fruit on a stick in the glass counter. The high prices was not worth it.

It was close and the pictures looked like just what I wanted. We learned though don't leave your house at 5:30 pm ever. It took as an hour to go 5.3 miles. The traffic was extra horrible in all directions. When we finally arrived we were both really hungry. We ordered the Family Special B.

They were really busy and people kept pouring in so I didn't get to ask why he had all those bills. The food was delicious.

The Mongolian Beef is drenched in onions, celery and peppers and had some heat too. They were kind and we will be back. That way I can get to the bottom of the Buddha.

The wonton soup I ordered separately was amazing and I could eat it in two meals since it was one big size. The price was pretty good for the amount of food and quality.
