Took a trip to Joy wok Super buffet for Scarlett's 11th birthday.What an amazing choice she chose. food was very good from fried rice, spring rolls, cashew chicken, mussels, soups, salad, dessert and more of all you can eat. I stepped out of my comfort box and tried me some muscles weren't too bad. Our server came multiple times to remove plates and refill drinks. As this was my first time visiting, it was very busy & very loud inside the establishment , but good food and conversation outweighs the noise. I plan to return for another visit soon and try some more new food items for my pallet. Joy Wok Buffet 12631 Metcalf Ave. Overland Park, Kansas read more

It wasn't one of the best buffet experiences. The food variety was very limited, and the place was honestly a mess. I didn't take pictures of the guest area because it would've been awkward, but it was really dirty. I understand it was a busy Sunday night, but still -- people shouldn't be spitting food or leaving such a mess on the carpet and everywhere else. I'll never plan to go here again on a Sunday evening -- the price is double, the quality is low, and the environment is chaotic. The waiter also forgot our lemonade, but I didn't even bother to remind them because my appetite was already gone. I'm giving these stars only for the hibachi -- it was just okay. read more

Probably the only buffet that I actually enjoy their sushi selection! It was so fresh and delicious. My boyfriend and I went here for Thanksgiving buffet and it got tons of seafoods. I loved it! They've also got hibachi and pho station. I can't wait to come back soon! read more

I chose to take a picture of the beautiful Koi fish rather than add a picture of food. My very last experience here at this location was because my partner and I were walking around the dining room and we saw a human fecal turd on the ground. I have never been back to this establishment since. read more

When my first born craves sushi, we go to Joy Wok. It truly brings us joy. It used to be a regular staple for us until we moved a little further away. Definitely would go when we are in the area. For the price vs quality, there is much value at Joy Wok. However, don't expect Vegas quality buffets. read more

I had a really great experience the first few times I went- lately they don't offer the same items - they will not put new hot food replacements on the buffet last 8p - so if you wanting lukewarm food this is your place. Oysters are old, they pack up sushi at 9 even though they serve till 10:30p. Service is mediocre not something I would exclaim great service. It's buffet service. You only have to bring me a drink. Ambiance is smelly - floors are dirty, bathrooms are dirty. Lately this place has the same experience as china garden in Merriam only two times the price as china garden. read more

this place is good , go during the week not on weekends , way to $$ / not bad during the week , they have such a variety , we really like it

It was the first time hubby & I had gone there when they had the crab legs. I was told when calling that it starts at 3:45 (which is the time we got there).. nope they brought em' out at 4:00.. no biggie.. a staff guy back there puts them on your plate. LOVE this so that it stops crab hogs from taking them all! They added a couple of other seafood dishes like shrimp & also those ugly-A crawdad's or crawfish or whatever you call them that I had never had. The sweet waitress lady was showing me how to take one & break it apart to suck the juice stuff out of it.. naw I thought.. that's OK!! Nice selection of different things including Sushi if you like that. Our bill was around $50 for two of us.. would definitely go back!! read more

We came back for their seafood weekend dinner buffet. 29.99, doesn't matter if you choose to eat the seafood or not, the price is fixed. The seafood was...mediocre. Crab legs had very little meat, and was salty. Sushi wasn't really all that fresh. It was slightly discolored and very fishy. The crab legs had crabbill on them, which aren't dangerous--but off putting to have a leech eggs. Food was typical buffet. Oily, sweet. Flies were around the habachi area. I think this was probably our last visit. read more

Had a date at Joy Wok! It was just perfect for that type of leisurely meal. The food is so fresh and hot and the staff leaves you alone or attends to you right away if you decide to ask something. I never knew until this time that they have really great steaks. One of my favorite things is the complete dinner aspect of Joy Wok. Soups Salads Appetizers Dinner Fruit and other palette cleaning dishes, & Ice Cream for dessert. If ya leave hungry? No. Ya won't. read more

The food selection is vastly superior to any Chinese buffet in the city the ambience is amazing and the weekday buffet is a fantastic value at $12.49 before taxes for seniors!!! read more

I thought this place was great. Very clean, no only gross food sitting around, and a great wait staff! They have a little bit of everything. Chinese, sushi, some American food like pizza. Great fruit selection! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town. My picky young children even found a ton of stuff they liked. read more

Joy Wok is charging CID 104 basis points higher than its restaurant neighbors in the same improvement district. Just asking them about it proved they have no idea what to charge specifically for CID. I would definitely look into this as it is 12.49% you are charging right on the receipt. That's higher than others in the same district. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. Friendly service the best crab legs I have at the Joy walk in liberty. I have not been to the one in Metcalf, but I'm sure it's great too. I would love it if they start doing it again in liberty because it's a lot closer to me. read more

It was a fun atmosphere to bring the grandkids, and with the large selection of food it was easy to satisfy the finicky eater. Strange how some folk's pile their plate high with crab legs, we missed out. No I got some it was good. Plus the service was amazing so we enjoyed our meal. read more

Love this place. Amazing service and they have a lot of gluten free options. So much good we had leftovers for days!!

Frankly, I was incredibly underwhelmed. I'd imagine that if I liked sushi, my thoughts might be different, but I was hoping for more dishes I would recognize. There weren't a lot of dishes I would recognize. I found there to be surprisingly few chicken dishes. Overall, I didn't get much flavor from the dishes. Service was fine. The koi pond was cool! read more

Came here the other night after watching a movie with some friends. I pretty much stopped going to Chinese buffets after Covid but the Chinese restaurant we had planned on going to was closed when we got there so decided to take a chance on Joy Wok. Huge variety of food. All of the dishes were fresh and hot. Sampled a little bit of everything really enjoyed the egg drop soup and the sushi bar. Overall enjoyed it and if you're looking for a buffet, I would recommend this. read more

The buffet exceeded my expectations given the low expectations for a Chinese buffet. The price is steep at over $30 per person after tax for the weekend dinner buffet due to the number of seafood options such as crab legs. The inside of the buffet looked nice, modern, and clean. The sushi selection was impressive for a buffet and was above-average for a buffet. As for the rest of the food, it was expected for a Chinese buffet. read more

This is my mom's favorite Chinese buffet place! I don't mind coming they offer a great sushi bar and their kimchi is always good. The hot buffet line offers a wide variety and very tasty! The wait staff are very attentive and clear plates and refills often. Love their side rooms for groups! read more

Food was hot and fresh. Family enjoyed the crab legs, plenty and they were never out of them. Plenty of seating at all times.

I thought I'd try the "new" Joy Wok, as I heard they had a great variety. Very nice-looking restaurant in appearance, and the buffet is HUGE, however nearly everything I tried was either bland or simply didn't taste good. The chicken was undercooked, and honestly, most of the options were either cool or even cold instead of hot. The service was mediocre and would have been much improved if the waitress spoke English. Overall, I was greatly unimpressed and felt it to be very overpriced. The staff said that the price was due to the seafood on the buffet---well, I don't even care for or eat seafood. Dragon Empire in OP is not a fancy restaurant but has MUCH better food and service for nearly half the price. read more

We ate there last night for the first time with another couple, who'd been there before. I'd seen the ads on tv. It was one of the worst places we have ever been. Food was almost inedible, except for the pot stickers (spelling). Dirty place. I saw a cockroach run across the top of the warming table near the crab Rangoon. Another woman near me saw the same thing. I lifted up the utensil container and it was stuck. Got it up and it was so filthy underneath. I told a guy working behind the counter about the roach and he didn't do anything. Bathroom was a mess, cleaning supplies laying on the ground, dried bleach stain. Maybe the sushi is good, not my thing. This place is a trough. Having been in the restaurant business, we were always aware that the health department could come in at any time. Management here needs to think about that every day and raise the bar. read more

Went with a larger party (6+) and was seated right away Saturday early afternoon. For the price, you get a great deal. Sushi was a lot better than I anticipated. The stir fry meats (general Tso chicken, beef dishes) weren't my favorite, I recommend filling up on sushi and the dimsum dishes (you have to try the custard bao). Service to clear old plates and refilling water was quick. Friendly servers as well- seemed to be eager to help and assist guests as needed. read more

Our family went here for lunch in Christmas Day. The sushi was very tasty and there were plenty of options. The food was okay, found a lot of the flavors were lacking flavor and seasonings. read more

I'm a TRUE FOODIE with an EXTENDED, UNLIMITED Palate. I eat many varieties of cuisine (SUPERB Cuisine), but Chinese is a life-long favorite. I've patronized Joy Wok over the years and it has been ok. Since changing locations and adding SUPER to Joy Wok Buffet it's lost its 'MoJo' for me, BIG Time!!! There was very little that was Super or Joyous about this visit, sweetie (owner)! A recent lunch brought utter disgust vs pleasure or Joy. I can't figure out why upon arriving at opening time the food wasn't hot!!! There's something EXTREMELY Wrong with that picture!!!Warm was even pushing it. I even stirred the entree's I selected in hopes that they'd be hot....to no avail. When I arrived at my table & dug in, nothing was hot, but ME!!! Our server was pleasant enough and the ambiance was alright, but I couldn't get past two trips to the buffet with mediocre food. I'm not one to waste, in fact, it gauls me to see how much food is wasted in restaurants while many less fortunate are virtually malnourished! Sadly, much of the two plates went in the trash! My choices were rice, vegetable lo mein (plain & awful), general tso's chicken, Hawaiian chicken, chicken & broccoli w/vegetables, chicken on a stick (dried out, flavorless), 2 mussels, 1 dumpling, 3 crab rangoon, 1 rib & 1 triangle of stale watermelon for dessert (one bite & I was done with it). The chicken was a mystery...I wondered what it REALLY was??? Didn't taste or look like chicken in any form that I chose. All was cold so there was most of the lunch in the 'throw away' pile. My second trip was to try the wide variety of sushi & seaweed. I could've literally stood and applauded. They were the only foods that were satisfactory. Geeezzzz. Unbelievable!!! I paid cash for my meal, took a photo w/ my daughter (she's a photoaholic) & proceeded with her to pay for her meal. The same raunchy-rude cashier inquired about ME paying. I politely told her I JUST paid YOU! I was the one with the 20.00 bill & my change was received. Do you have amnesia? Really? I didn't say that, but wanted to. She then asked my server if I'd paid. He confirmed I did (my daughter also saw me) We walked out & I was beyond furious!!! A horrible meal, rude cashier & nothing left to smile about but the server, sushi, seaweed & water. What a day & what a waste!!! Time, money, energy, gone.... Talk to the hand lady & be REAL glad I kept my cool. Needless to say, I'm done! There are TOO MANY Chinese restaurants that STILL Top my list of class and great food. I don't need your establishment. I'll take my green elsewhere & for all of those that find it delightful, good for you! read more

Joy Wok Super Buffet - Sushi, seaweed, onions, green peppers - Buffets Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

For the weekday lunch price, this truly was a "super" buffet experience at this new and improved location. My weekday lunch buffet ($12.99) included a variety of delicious foods including salads, fruits, a self-serve roast beef carvery, pizza, a hibachi grill (unattended), soups, Chinese entrees, oysters, shrimp, sushi, clams, kimchi, baked fish, mac & cheese, fries, desserts, ice creams, etc. Everything I tried was perfectly cooked, warm and tasty except for the soupy fried rice. Most items were clearly labeled, except the baked salmon turned out to be baked white fish and there were no labels at the sushi/seafood, hibachi grill and dessert areas. I found the beverage and plate removal process to be efficient and polite. Empty plates disappeared from my table quickly. I was presented with a bill at the table, and it was handled promptly. The dining area was spacious, new, nicely decorated and clean with pleasant Oriental background music and a nice water feature. I thought the price was reasonable for the extensive variety of food premium options, the good service and the nice atmosphere, but I hope they will properly staff the hibachi grill area and add more food labels. They offer a seafood buffet Fri, Sat and Sun evenings, buffet prices for kids and a bar with adult beverages. I'm thinking 4.5 stars and rounding up for the nice weekday lunch price. read more

It's ok. It's essentially what you'd expect. The hibachi line was crazy long all the time. The dim sum wasn't bad but also not amazing. The hot bar line wasn't bad either. Everything was very mild and not heavily seasoned. The desserts looked ok. The sushi also looked ok. Couldn't figure out why but all the tables had small trash cans on them? Maybe for the seafood shells? It was ok. If I was to go again I'd go at lunch for the lower price. read more

Food was good for a buffet. The staff could use a little more training. She came once to take our order and once to bring us our initial drinks. From there on she became scarce. This place is known for the crab legs and butter. I didn't have any as I hit the hibachi! But everything here was delicious. I recommend the hibachi grill. It was on point! Ambiance was nothing special. It was more off a grab your food and demolish type of feel lol. Would I come back when I come back into town? Absolutely yes! I give it two thumbs up! read more

This is perhaps my favorite Chinese Buffet. We make it a point to visit every now and then after visiting the coffee shop up the street. The place is clean and the food is tasty. This isn't one of those Chinese Buffets where the food remains under the warm lights and gets crusty and neglected. They are very aware of how to keep food fresh and pans full. The service is very courteous. Each time we are here we have the best wait staff. Not too pushy and they do a good job of removing dirty plates after you have finished, but will ask without assuming. read more

I am in multiple food groups and this place is always recommended when it comes to buffets. We attempted to go on Christmas and was told the wait wouldn't be long but it was crowded and tables were so close that we opted for another choice but returned the next day for lunch. They cram as many people in as possible. Our table was half and half and even my boyfriend who is super skinny had trouble getting between the tables to sit and stand. Tables had people literally almost sitting in the buffet like in part of it. The amount of options for food I will say was intense. So many options but as many as I tried I didn't find anything that stood out. The general tso's and another thing I tried were more candy sweet than spicy which I don't like a lot of spice but I don't want candy chicken either. The dumplings were good, but the potatoes were hard. I did try some sushi and it was good but they were not keeping it stocked well, but I liked the few pieces I had. My boyfriend did like the hibachi he had but that was about where it stopped. We both agreed it's nice for tons of options but nothing stood out at us about it to make us swoon to go back. Now some swear by the seafood buffet which is what we skipped on Christmas because we didn't feel Like spending $15 plus extra per person for food we wouldn't eat. The place was crowded so some people obviously love it, so give it a try, you won't know till you do read more

Today was my 2nd visit. After 4 pm there's no senior discount. The food was excellent but not worth $32.62. Even before 4:00 it's still too much money for an 80 yr old on a strict budget. Prices have increased in the last year like every thing else. read more

In the mood for Chinese? This is very good Chinese. Love the egg foo young! Great service.

We went on a Monday night and were seated right away. The food was subpar but they did have a good selection for a weekday night. It didn't feel too crowded and the music wasn't too loud. We definitely feel like we overpaid because the food wasn't as flavorful as other Chinese buffets. This was our second time here and we would not likely return. Attached is the buffet price, but I don't think that's been updated in a while. Our total was $39.80 for 2 people (before tip). read more
