    Went in for a quick bite and left satisfied! The server was helpful and attentive. We only ordered two things, their potstickers and dumplings were so delicious! The filling inside was packed and flavorful! We got full with just these two so sadly we weren't able to try anything else but definitely bookmarked to come back!

    Walnut Shrimp
    Alex E.

    Came here after we went to another neighborhood favorite was closed. Wasn't sure what to expect but thought we'd give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised. Started with some appetizers, potstickers and popcorn chicken and I thoroughly enjoyed each dish. Having eaten popcorn chicken at other dumpling restaurants, the pieces are sometimes pretty small and get lost in all the breading. These were good. Potstickers tasted good as well. For our entrees, we ordered the Seafood Dumpling Soup and Walnut Shrimp. The walnut shrimp had the right amount of sauce and tasted good. We also shared a Beef Roll, which was good. Shopping center can get pretty busy on the weekend with other restaurants, retail, and gym but the parking lot is big enough to be able to find a good space. Inside of restaurant is pretty sparse, but plenty of seating.

    We've been coming to this restaurant since it opened, and it is so good! Love the tofu and walnut shrimp. The shrimp has a nice citrus note to it. Also love the green beans. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The servers are so kind. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

    Enjoyed lunch here. The cucumber cold appetizer was perfectly seasoned with salt and garlic and crisp. Still thinking about the cucumber appetizer. Boiled dumplings and eggplant dish were good. XLB soup dumpling was just okay and they were stuck together. Beef chow fun noodles were flavorful. Service was good and friendly. He was covering the entire restaurant and did a good job at lunch. Lunch time was moderately busy inside. It was clean and decent sized.

    Mapo Tofu
    Brad T.

    The place is nice and comfy, great service from the staff there, but most importantly, the food. The orange soda was nice, yes, it's from a bottle, but it's a fairly unique flavor I haven't had elsewhere. The mapo tofu though. Absolutely the most flavorful mapo tofu I've had ANYWHERE. This stuff was like 2 steps below a climax, but in my mouth and tongue. I couldn't stop eating it. I took it home to eat later, but unfortunately warming it up in the microwave kills a bit of the flavor; it was still very good though. But fresh at restaurant itself? My god. I would drive 5 hours to eat this. I would be on the toilet for 10 hours to eat this. I don't care. It's THAT good.

    Beef dumplings
    Amanda C.

    Joyee's Dumpling House is a relaxed spot that works great for a casual meal with friends/family. The menu is large, with something for everyone. I went straight for the dumplings, of course--and I'm happy to report they did not disappoint. The beef dumplings were flavorful and well-seasoned. My favorite by far, though, were the soup dumplings--bursting with rich broth and so hot and comforting. I'd come back just for those. We also tried the green beans with garlic, which were super good and came in a surprisingly generous portion. Everything felt fresh and satisfying. The service was friendly and low-key, which matched the atmosphere. It's not flashy or trendy, but it's delicious and done well!

    Orange Chicken
    Jerry H.

    This authentic Chinese restaurant is bright, spacious and clean. Their menu has a great variety of options from dumplings to soup and entree dishes. The popular options we tasted were orange chicken, beef chow mein, and shrimp fried rice. We loved their orange chicken with boneless chicken breast meat. It was juicy and flavorful. The noodles were also very good. The service was a little slow when crowded but they are friendly and accommodating. If you stick with the main popular dishes, you will like this place.

    The food was good! The dumpling wrappers were slightly on the thicker side, but still enjoyable. Both the noodle soup and fried noodles were excellent. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and kid-friendly.

    Tofu W.Vegetable Soup
    Lucy Z.

    Very delicious and huge portion sizes! We ordered the vegetable tofu soup, fish dumplings, cold beef appetizer, mapo tofu, fried green beans, and zhajiang noodles. All the dishes were on point in terms of flavor (although the beef was a little too salty for me). Service was speedy too. We came here for on a weekday for dinner, so there was hardly anyone at all. Just us sitting in the corner, enjoying the air conditioning (very necessary for the spicy dishes).

    Spicy pickled veggies and fish soup
    Jusuan L.

    We went on a Saturday for a late lunch. No wait and the place stayed about half occupied the whole time. We ordered the pan fried pork buns, green beans, and pickled veggie and fish. All three were good and decent portion. I'm glad neither of the dishes were too salty. The fish dish is meant to be spicy and good thing it was not too spicy. They did a good job with the fried buns in not burning it like some other places do. I was really pleased with that. Two people were staffing the dining area at the time and they were both responsive and nice. Also cool the music being played were top 40 songs from the 2000s.

    The two ladies working when we were there were really nice and friendly. This place was busy with people coming in to order take out or dining in. It had a lot of good reviews but I thought the food was ok. I love Singapore noodles and theirs was too wet and a little on the plain side. We did like the onion pancake and the spicy wontons. Their hot'n'sour soup was good too. The xiao long bao was brought out in the steamer without a plate underneath. The dumplings were stuck to the paper or each other so when you lifted it out of the steamer, it ripped and leaked all the soup onto the table. What a disappointment. And the wrapping was too thick and doughy. I wouldn't recommend ordering those. The egg custard buns were not good either. We took a bite and it was gritty and powdery inside. It didn't have the consistency of a custard for the filling. We didn't finish it.

Whether you're dining here for a date night, family lunch, or happy hour, you won't be disappointed. They offer complimentary butter and bread, a sourdough and a pumpernickel, that I could literally eat all day, it was so good. If you want exceptional seafood, you must try this spot, they know how to prepare seafood and the service was exceptional too. Kid friendly with great seafood and non-seafood options (which is rare) and HUGE PORTIONS for just $10. What we ordered: Calamari Strips (Happy hour) - 9/10 we are suckers for calamari strips over the rings and tentacles and the jalapeno cheese sauce just elevates this dish to another level Fried fish slider (Happy hour) - 9/10 huge piece of lightly battered fish with a supper buttery brioche bun Oysters (Happy hour) - 10/10 beautiful presentation! Potato skins (Happy hour) - 7/10 nothing special about these, but they were good Crab & Shrimp Fondue - 10/10 I live for this fondue, it has the perfect balance of seafood and cheese without being too rich, but also the dipping vessel, grilled baguette slices, is a match made in heaven Avocado Swordfish - 10/10 this dish blew my mind, the swordfish melted in my mouth and super creamy cheesy risotto, only miss was there was no seasoning on the broccolini Wok Charred Ahi - very light and flavorful, but also the cook on the ahi was exactly how it should be, seared on the outside w/pink in the center Kids Fried Shrimp - 8/10 I only gave this a lower score because it had a bit too much breading, which our daughter doesn't like, but otherwise the shrimp was cooked perfectly Mud Pie - 9/10 this dessert was enormous and everything you'd expect from a mud pie, no disappointment here!

We were very disappointed in the kids meals. They were inedible. Unfortunately the kids didn't tell us until the end of the meal. The chicken strips were noticeably Burt when they first came to the table. We sent it back, but apparently they were still inedible the second time as well. The noodles with butter were also inedible. So bad the child didn't want to eat them there or take them home. The fried artichoke, Brussels sprouts, salads and fish tacos were up to our usual standards. Very happy about that. A few cocktails were order as well. One thing our large group appreciated was being able to pay with the QR code and pay by item. It made it easy for us to all pay for ourselves and kids if we had any with us as well as our individual drinks, alcoholic or non alcoholic. Thank you for making that an option. No one wants to do the math or be left paying for someone else's cocktail.

I love going to supermarkets and especially ones that I am not familiar with and like to explore and discover new things to try. This market is fairly small and it had basically two aisles but its filled from floor to ceiling with Russian and Eastern European goods. The front deli case has all the smoked fish you want and also plenty of different kinds of sausages too. And since its the holidays, there are also plenty of fun chocolates and gift items! I chose to buy some rusk bread crisps (salmon and cheese flavored) and Russian style egg salad. Both were good! I didnt know what to expect with Russian style egg salad as it has cheese and fresh garlic in it, so I was a little worried if I didnt like it, but good thing is that I definitely liked it and can definitely pair them with some Carr crackers as a snack! Almost everyone in here was speaking Russian and I definitely felt like a weirdo in there but everyone was nice to me and welcoming. My only gripe is that the rusk crisp was labeled as $1.99 and I was charged $2.50. Id come back here again and try other things too next time.
