Spicy chicken.  There are TWO layers of chicken here, one underneath the visible one of the same size.
Stephen K.

This place is a chain?!?!?!? It doesn't SEEM like a chain: Is the food good? It is absolutely outstanding! Are the portion sizes small? They're enormous!!! Is all the food made ahead of time, fast food style? No, it's all made to order. Is the service disinterested and non-caring? Nope, the people running the establishment couldn't be friendlier and more helpful. Is it expensive? It's stupidly cheap, especially considering the titanic amount of food you get for your money. I'm SERIOUSLY blown away by Joy Teriyaki! I stopped in after working late for a fast dinner, and was mightily impressed by the friendliness and knowledge of the staff about all of the dishes. The service was fast and friendly, and upon opening my take-away at home, I couldn't believe the portion size! A big salad, two big scoops of rice, and, no joke, what appeared to be FOUR entire chicken thighs (boned and uniformly sliced). I could barely finish it. The other dishes were all equally generously sized. Unlike most establishments where portion size is the draw, the quality is tremendously great! Everything was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious! The spicy chicken actually packs a good amount of heat, and has an amazingly great flavor. Don't bother with any of the other local teriyaki chains, just go to Joy. You'll be joyful that you did!

Kung Pao. Pic of Lima Beans, green Beans, corn, cubed carrots. Nasty! Chicken teriyaki was gross  it had a jelly type teriyaki glaze.  Bad

Nasty nasty! Who adds Cooked Canned vegetables to Kung Pao chicken? It had lima beans, green beans, corn and soft cubed carrots in it. We also ordered chicken teriyaki that had this jelly slimy glaze on it. It was horrible. Absolutely the worst. Be warned

Teriyaki chicken was amazing

We were going to get a burger but the spell form here was to good to pass up. My son got the noodles and chicken and I ordered the chicken teriyaki with a salad and rice. It was amazing and one of the best I have had in Portland. We will be back!!

My husband and I stop by here for a quick date night and loved it. The food was delicious and the price was just right. The atmosphere was nice and the service was great. Noticed a lot of people coming in to get take-out as we dined-in.

The chicken and beef was cold and undercooked. You have to pay extra for a little cup of sauce to go with your rice and meat.

"Let me know if you have any questions!". We had questions about her menu items, and she answered them nicely and thoroughly, in detail. Okay, so we order two things: the S3 and the Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and here's what U think about each: Tonkotsu Ramen: -The Meat doesn't have a huge initial, impactful taste, but the flavor settles in a couple seconds after you bite it and it's a very soft, warming feeling. -The Broth is where the spice is, and it's not like "oh my mouth is on fire" it's the type of spice that hits you in the back of the throat, so it's bearable but I couldn't chug it personally, I had to take sips which is nice for someone who devours their food like there's no tomorrow (like me). -The Noodles are.. just your typical Ramen noodles, nothing special to add there but nothing bad to say at all! -The Egg, although not marinated in soy sauce like some places do, was cooked well. The inside was soft and gooey, but the white was fully cooked. I have no complaints! -The Mushrooms added a nice texture to the noodles and the overall dish, and worked to make it even more satisfactory. The S3: -I don't have much to say because my cousin ordered it and I only had a few bites, but the veggies were cooked nicely... -The big boom about it was the noodles. If I had to describe it, I would say it's like.. an Orange Chicken type of Tater Tot, it was really unique and fun to eat. Next time I go, it'll be hard to decide what to order.. Okay, don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself! いただきます!

The broth had the perfect kick without overpowering the depth of the ramen, and everything came out hot and fresh. Parking was easy, food cart was easy to find!

It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff and were promptly seated. The food arrived fresh and very quick, and everything was delectable. We've been through Sichuan/Szechuan restaurants all over the world, and I have to say while this place doesn't disappoint, the food does have a more muted flavors for those not as used to spice. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the standout was definitely the Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp. It arrived fresh and hot with plenty of salted egg yolk flavor. They're very casual here, especially with the cute drawings on the walls. My kids loved it. People were coming in and out grabbing plenty of to go orders, they're likely a local favorite. For an introduction to the spices in Sichuan cuisine, I'd recommend. If you're looking for things heavy on spice, you'll be satisfied but might've had better.

The pad see ew and green beans also stood out for us. Wish there were more eggplant in the holy basil eggplant dish, as it was so good. Brussels sprouts were good too, but probably wouldn't need to get them or the masala fries again (also good flavor, just not that crisp and the sauce distribution was on the top). The only dish we didn't care for was the rainy Rangoon, but I enjoyed trying it all. Overall, amazing flavor, and will definitely be back, but wish portions were a bit heftier- though, between our party or 8, 4 apps and 4 mains were good enough.

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

Came by with a friend for an early dinner and got one of the last tables in the place; fair warning, it seems to fill up pretty quickly during peak hours! My caveat for the vegetarian review is that there is honestly just 1 main I could order -- the veggie curry + roti set. If you are vegan, you will need to sub rice for the roti fyi. The curry was overall pretty good and the roti was crispy, flaky, soft in all the right proportions. Satisfying to eat overall on a cold day though I will say portions are a tad small for the price point. My friend really enjoyed her hat yai combo and can you blame her? The fried chicken did look/smell amazing so kudos for that! I will say it's unfortunate that no other menu item or special menu item is vegetarian or has the option to be made vegetarian. But definitely do acknowledge that certain cultural cuisines are inherently meat/seafood based and changing that can detract from their authenticity. Hat Yai is a great option for omnivore groups and you won't have to make your veg friends feel like they are missing out or have nothing to order. However, as a vegetarian, given the 1 menu option - I'm not quite sure how frequently I will return. I will however, direct my omnivore friends right on over.
