This was my first visit to JOY WOK, to order a few items to go. One item, particular item, the MONGOLIAN BEEF, was a Disappointment when I took the lid off the container; a more accurate label for this menu item should be MONGOLIAN ONION! Not that I have a distaste for onions, but I'm visiting Chinese restaurants with less frequency because I'm seeing this trend where they are overloading all their dishes with cheap vegetables, like onions, and Skimping on the chicken, the pork, the beef, and the seafood. In the case of this MONGOLIAN ONION, which cost $13.00+, I painstakingly pulled out every piece of onion and put them all on a digital scale; ten point five (10.5) ounces of onions in the dish. The remaining thirteen point five (13.5) ounces was comprised of beef slices, pea pods, thin carrot wedges, and the sauce. read more

Service was quick and very polite. Restaurant was clean and quiet. House fried rice wasn't the best I've ever had. Rice was fully cooked and hot, shrimp was good as well as the tiny pieces of pork. The imitation lobster/crab meat is what caught me off guard; not being accustomed to that in the rice caused the 3-stars. read more

I had the curry chicken. Absolutely horrible. No flavor except for hot chili oil. Actually inedible. Second time burned. Won't go back

I have ordered from Joy Wok several times and the food is always tasty and well prepared. Moo Shu Chicken, pork lomein beef with vegetables, steamed or pan fried dumplings are all very good. I like really spicy food but I would warn that their General Taos chicken and Mongolian beef are extremely hot so if you like a little spice you might want to ask them to make it not too spicy. Service has always been quick and friendly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I didn't like the egg rolls. They are thin with not enough filling so it is just like eating mostly fried wrapper. I definitely would not recommend the egg rolls. Their crab Rangoon is very good though. Overall I would definitely recommend Joy wok read more

My husband and I haven't had Chinese food in about a year. We usually go to a restaurant in Mechanicville, but this Schuylerville restaurant was closer. I will drive the extra 5 minutes next time. First, it looked like the building was abandoned. Run down, weeds all around, parking lot was empty. When I walked in, I noticed there was NO ONE in the restaurant. It was 5:45 on a Saturday! We ordered egg rolls. They were long and skinny, very little filling and too much dough. Disappointing. The pork fried rice and chicken with broccoli were tasteless. We had to doctor it up with soy sauce and Thai chili sauce. Spicy shrimp with broccoli was good. Sesame chicken had a funny smell...like the batter had spoiled. It could be that they use spices our regular place doesn't. We didn't eat it. The vegetables were good. Crunchy and fresh. We just wish the food had more flavor and the egg rolls could have had more filling (veggies) and not as much dough. They gave us free (crab?) rangoon. Very tough dough, very little flavor. We wish it was better. We won't return. read more

The best thing I can say is that the food came out amazingly fast. Uh, too fast for my comfort... We tried crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, general tso's chicken, sesame chicken and beef and broccoli. Nothing special about any of the dishes and to be honest except for the sesame seeds we couldn't really couldn't tell the difference between the gen tso or sesame chicken. Prices were ok, but they are better at the Wilton mall food court and so is the food. We were the only people in the restaurant but the staff really didn't seem interested in us. Drinks seem to be in cans only, I'm not completely sure since we were never offered any. We asked for water when the crab rangoon was delivered to the table. All in all, we were not impressed. read more

Driving through Schuylerville, I spotted Joy Wok and decided to stop here for lunch. This casual Chinese restaurant offers takeout service and a nice full service dining room with booths and tables. The kitchen area is behind closed doors. The menu offerings include the standard Chinese fare including Cantonese, Hunan and Szechuan dishes. The prices seem reasonable, most items priced under $10 and the chef's specials $8.50-$13.75 such as the Szechuan Chicken and Seafood Pan Fried Noodles respectively. 44 Lunch Specials (Mon-Sat 11AM-3PM) are offered served with pork fried rice ($4.50-$4.95) and 44 Combination Plates ($6.50-$7.50) served with pork fried rice & egg roll. Same order by numbers with L and D prefixes. For lunch takeout, I ordered the L17 Shrimp Lo Mein ($4.50) with pork fried rice, which was ready to go in about 5 minutes, very prompt service. The portion of food was a good lunch size. The lo mein had mostly firm noodles with tender shrimp (not deveined, but found clean anyways) and minimal carrot and cabbage. The fried rice (light yellow color) had mostly soft cooked fluffy rice with minimal small roast pork pieces & scallions. The food was very simple and tasted pretty good and was filling, under $5. read more

Good COVID precautions, it felt very safe the way they have the pick up set up arranged, so I applaud that effort. Sadly I was really disappointed by lack of flavor. I ordered sesame chicken, veggie lo mein, szechuan bean curd, and pork fried rice. Everything was a good texture (chicken was well fried, veggies weren't over cooked) but overall nothing had any taste. Like really, no flavor at all. I really wanted to like it because I live in town, but going to have to get Chinese takeout fix elsewhere I guess! read more

Egg drop soup/lo mein have me food poisoning. The lo mein was not good very dry. Currently out of commission for the whole day.....

This nondescript eatery is quite the sleeper gem. The Kung Pao actually has a Pow (flaked chili peppers and a delightful burn). Worth the 10 mile ride out here and go to the town park to dine on a picnic bench. If you are out here at 4pm or later...dine on the picnic bench and wash it down with a cocktail at Amigos in Schuylerville. A little satisfying mini road trip.... read more

Prices are good. People are friendly Location is good It's always clean when I go pick up takeout or the very few times we have eaten it, still clean Food is always on point. Consistent. Good portion sizes. Always have leftovers. read more

We are Joy Wok Fans ! We travel regularly in the nation and always try this food in many places & have found that Joy Wok is still a favorite! Getting it to go Is Preferred due to In Restaurant Ambiance is cold, inhospitable, uncomfortable and usually scanty of eat in customers. Probably because they are so busy with preparing your fresh, Always Hot, Large Portion, Very little wait time meal ! Also a plus , is when you have a large order and they gift you with free appetizers, in addition to the always present cookies! read more

I was told by my niece that many people from the school go there for a quick lunch so I ordered dinner there for my family. Speed: For $40 worth of food it took about 15 minutes to make. Ambiance: Clean, but in need of an update if you eat in house. Food: Average Chinese food. Nothing more, nothing less. Portions were solid and taste was fine. Would I go out of my way to eat there? No. But it is quick and easy if in a pinch. read more

Hidden gem in Schuylerville. Always good flavor not old oil and crispy chicken but tender. Not much too look at but one of the best Chinese test. Around read more

I have to be honest here, eating take out from here was not a great experience. We ordered Wonton Soup, Egg Drop Soup, Egg Rolls, Moo Goo Gai Pan. The soups were the best thing overall, and there was nothing extraordinary about either. The pork egg roll was not good at all--I tasted an unfamiliar spice that was completely out of place. My mom ordered a vegetarian egg roll and did not like it. The Moo Goo was just strange. There was a clear gooey substance surrounding every piece of chicken that tasted like gravy. I went ahead and ate it, the chicken was at least moist (if not mushy). I absolutely could not stand the flavor of the mushrooms, maybe they were bad? The steamed rice was fine. I was hoping it could be our new go-to place for Chinese takeout because of the location and the fair prices...unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Fairly Ok, prices reasonable, fast service. Typical fast Chinese food. Counter service a challenge due to language issues.
