The buffet here is amazing: great wide selection of proteins all prepared very well, and also-well-prepared side dishes. (Also a very nice dessert section, with all of the usual items plus great little cakes that are yummy but not overly filling. In 3-4 varieties!) The service here was perfect in all of my visits... they were welcoming but never pushy or critical. Just smooth and pleasant. They could give lessons to other places about how to treat guests. The ambience on my visits was always pleasant. Maybe a little upscale in decor for a buffet which feels nice, but the lunch pricing suits my budget, and I love this restaurant. I'm now a regular visitor. read more

Disgusting!!! Crab rangoons tasted and smelled like spoiled milk, pineapple tasted sour like rotten fruit, beef was hard and chewy. Complete waste of money, I couldn't finish anything I tasted I actually spit my food out and I'm not the type to do that. I'm a foodie and was more than disappointed. Joy wok on metcalf is sooooo much better I had no clue the locations had such different quality. Yuck. Ick. Ewwwwwww read more

The food was plentiful and the variety astonishing! Come hungry. Remember crab legs galore on weekends. Sushi galore to pig out upon (to your sheer enJOYment)! Eat here! Joy Wok is terrific! You'll be glad! read more

With the look and feel of a national chain operation, Joy Wok excels over the typical Asian buffets. It's very clean and bright, food trays are well stocked with fresh items, and furnishings are up-to-date. With a variety of American foods (cheeseburgers, pizza, roast beef, lettuce salads, etc.) it provides enough items to satisfy those who don't want Asian. read more

Always great food. Service is good. Great value for the price. Weekends are expensive though and if you dont eat seafood you're paying for it still. Im allergic to shell fish so I can't eat crab legs or shrimp so I avoid the weekend price. Other than that its great. read more

Clean, fast, can do take out and pay by the lbs..food is good, constant rotation, and fast and friendly staff. Busy for lunch! Good price!

I liked the good variety of tasty foods, the polite, attentive service and the reasonable price during my off-peak visit. My early weekday lunch buffet ($12.99) included a fruit bar, a salad bar, a hibachi grill, pho, a seafood bar with sushi, sashimi, kimchi and shrimp, a fair selection of Chinese favorites, a roast beef carvery, fried foods (including fried chicken) and desserts. The foods were at appropriate temperatures, but the labeling was spotty. I noticed two dining areas and seating around the buffet area. They also offered a bar, but they had not yet received their liquor license. Very nice! read more

Went here for some authentic Chinese food. The food was great but one of the waitresses ruined my appetite. The reason she ruined my appetite is because she was yapping so much in Chinese loudly interrupting our formally conversation. She also was wearing sandals that showed her big toe. Also these children were running around the building like it was a jungle gym. One of them showed up in those children onesie. As the little kid was running around he grabbed a plate looked at it and put it on his head. Then proceeded to put it back grab a new one and start serving himself. As he was serving noodles he slipped on thin air thronging his noodles in the air. Shocked I thought where are these kids parents? Anyways this place was still good. And mostly clean experience for the waitress big toe. read more

*New Location Alert* Today we finally decided to come try out the new Joy Wok location! When we first got here I immediately noticed it was very spacious, very clean but relatively packed. It took us about 10-15 minutes to be seated just based on the fact that it was only one person available for seating us. After being seated we had to wait an additional 20 minutes just to get water at the table. The servers were scarce so it was alot going on. All in all, the food was good & the space was clean, so I would come back. read more

First time visit. Buffet runs about $26 and it is a healthy buffet. It could have more vegetables but everything was tasty. There is a hibachi station that has great salmon and crab legs. However I do not recommend the crab legs because there is no seasoning at all I mean, just bland crab legs. No seasoning ‍ As far as ambiance, for Friday night, it is pretty steady and busy but manageable. Communication was difficult as there were not a lot of English speaking servers. This is not a restaurant I would dine at regularly, but it is OK for a hit and miss every now and then experience. read more

Negative stars Terrible Customer Service Unsanitary Not worth the trouble. The first time I went I thought maybe a fluke but the second time at dinner I was certain I wasn't mistaken. Dont waste your money there's plenty of other places happy to have you. read more

Great selection. Mongolian grill, sushi, veggies, soups, sweets, fried food, meat, and seafood options! One of my favorite craves when I'm in the city area and want Chinese food! Prefer lunch prices if bringing the family! read more

An elevated Chinese buffet. We went during the week, the restaurant was about 1/4 full, if that. Food offerings looked fresh and tasted alright. If we go back, we will get something from the hibachi. Staff was attentive. read more

My mom, sons, and I came in to try the buffet since we'd heard well of it. The location is quite close to my mom's home and we decided to check it out. Walking in, the restaurant was vey clean and well tempered. It wasn't really busy and we were fine with that! On the side where the seating resides, there's a really nice bar area with a couple tvs for viewing sports. Quite nice! On the other side, the buffet area was extremely clean and the hibachi, and sushi stations were well kept. The food looks great and fresh. The taste matched the visuals. I was very pleased at how fresh and clean tasting everything was. My young children are quite particular with food and don't like greasy foods and they are a good amount for a two and four year old! I didn't try the hibachi or sushi stations this first visit, but I May in the future! The service was pleasant and our server was very courteous in asking if we wanted more refreshments instead of just getting us more. She was awesome in allowing us to enjoy our meals without many interruptions. For the first visit, I was very pleased. I hope the location has longevity and keeps up their great menus read more

Just what you would expect from a less than mediocre Chinese buffet. Nothing remarkable and nothing delicious. The rangoons we ok. That was the only thing they brought out fresh during our experience. read more

Love the second location. We enjoyed a family bday dinner and it was perfect for a large group we had a back room to ourselves and we enjoyed the food and our server was great. Everyone really like the food. read more

I went on a field trip there and had the all you can eat. It was amazing, the food was so good, the restaurant looked amazing, and the staff was super nice! read more

Don't go to Joy wok they don't explain what the cost will end up being. We thought it was $15 for the no seafood it was. she brought us our bill. Our waitress also never spoke to us and explained how it works. All she did was fill up water and she brought a third check and it was $30 and we all just have rice and chicken. we walked in and it looked promising because it's so pretty in there, but the food was shit. Not worth $15 let alone 30. read more

kinda concerning that all the meat dishes taste the same. Red meat, chicken, and frog legs shouldn't all be identical. Go when it's cheaper. Not worth the dinner price at all. Servers were all excellent. Sad cause I wanted to like this place. read more

Terrible place. We found a fly in our food. We went 10 people and the manager just made a 15 dlls off discount. We paid $294. 00 plus the tips terrible management. Last day in That place! 糟糕的地方。我们在食物里发现了一只苍蝇。我们一共 10 个人，经理只给了 15 美元的折扣。我们花了 294 美元，外加小费，管理太差了。在那个地方的最后一天！ read more

A beautiful place to eat great food and a really welcoming staff beginning to end! Gorgeous atmosphere, clean , a beautiful variety of food to choose from read more

Joy Wok, is amazing! Had a hard, stressful, and just tired out Christmas. Up all night getting stocking together, moving presents. So happy I was able to relax with family and didn't have to cook. Huge selection of food, so everyone gets what they want. Such wonderful, nice and attentive service. Christmas night was the best! I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Perfect for family or date night. You will be pleased and full. read more

Crab doesn't have much flavor but all the other options are very tasty. Place is clean, great service from staff.

The food is flavorful, the service is ok for buffet style , I believe they tend to drop checks prematurely. I will return .

Price $23 little high for the quality. Crab legs were rubbery. No fried shrimp. Hot & Sour soup nearly empty, it was 7 pm. This was 3rd time we ate there, don't think we'll be back. read more

So worth the wait the first few times we went. Now it's like any other Chinese buffet, flavors are bland. Was so ready for the new place for Chinese. Hopefully they go back to the way they were when first opened. read more

Did they ever think to change the oil in the fryer before they soaked everything in it. Four door dashers later. Got a meal soaked in 10 day old oil. Honey I was sliding like the bath of Mt. Souvious. Hee hee don't eat here. read more

We used love this place and the last year they have gone down hill. Greasy food, all taste the same, meat for hibachi slimy and discolored. Sushi looked like it had been frozen and thawed out. read more

We had a horrible experience at Joy Wok. We were really excited about the new restaurant but to our dismay, there was a roach crawling on the wall where we were eating. We told staff who did NOTHING. They didn't even apologize. We ended up walking out without them saying one word to us. Needless to say we will never be back but I hope that this place doesn't make too many people too sick with conditions like that. Highly disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more
