loved that we were able to have a sit-down meal at this restaurant, however, they were plenty busy with to-go orders. we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. we ordered the braised beef soup, the pork ribs, and the bbq pork steamed buns, and the chocolate buns. our picky toddler old didn't want to try anything, but enjoy trying to pick up the steamed buns with chopsticks, but our 8 year old did enjoy the steamed buns and the ribs! please do not wear a white shirt as it may get dirty from the oozing chocolate (but so worth it). will definitely come back as their menu had so many items we wanted to try. thank you joyee's dumpling house! until next time! read more

See all

The dining room is basic due to Covid, but don't let that deter you. Food was amazing fresh & authentic Recommend the sweet and sour pork. It was crispy and well presented. Well priced as well. read more

The Yelp reviews sounded so promising so we decided to give Joyee's a try. Joyee's was no joy! I had the braised pork belly and it was barely edible. The meat was tough and chewy and the sauce tasted more like the brown gravy I put on a chuck roast. The sweet and sour pork was inconsistent. Some of it was way over cooked and some of it was cooked properly. The beef chow mein was flavorless but I must say the beef in it was fabulous! It was very tender. My wife had the green beans which were just okay and the eggplant that wasn't even just okay. All things considered, I can not recommend Joyee's! The only reason I gave them 2 stars was that my order was ready as promised. read more

Best Sichuan food in the area! Everything we've tried so far has been great! Love the spicy crispy chicken it's as good as the one at spicy house and spicy city in Kearny Mesa but we don't have to drive so far!! read more

Wow! My husband brought home the chicken and pork steamed buns, which are so yummy I want a second stomach to eat another three. Generous filling on both buns. Be careful of the spicy condiment. It adds flavor; however, for me, I dabbed it for a zing. We are hooked on this restaurant and will be back for more delicious dishes. read more

Joyee's Dumpling House - Poway - Pork and Chicken Steamed Buns - Chinese Near Me - Poway, California

Freakin amazing honestly. In the mood for XLB and found this place, definitely need to come back soon!

Delicious dumplings and noodles spot in Poway. Ordered online and to-go during latest lockdown. It took a long time for the order to be read y, almost 40 minutes, but they were very busy with orders on a Saturday which is a great sign. Located where Beijing City was and it is a HUGE step up from that. We ordered XLB, pork and chive buns, beef noodle soup and the chicken chow mein. The standout by far was the XLB, tender and savory, they are like eating a little bit of soup in a dumpling. The beef soup was good but definitely not a taste I am familiar with. Sadly the meat had some huge chunks of fat/gristle which was disappointing. Will definitely order from here again if only for the XLB mmmm. Thanks for bringing more good food to Poway! read more

I ordered 3 party trays for my son's graduation party. The spicy crispy chicken was a hit. I was worried that people might find it too spicy but everyone loved it. The shrimp chow mein was excellent too. The stirfried green bean with garlic was not crunchy, it was a bit soggy. Taste wise was still pretty good. I will definitely order party tray from them again. read more

Waited for over an hour. I went up for a third time inquiring about the food and food was sitting there for who knows how long. I get that businesses are struggling to have enough staffing but this was unacceptable. You see someone waiting and there's food ready to go chances are it's the person sitting and waiting. Not the least apologetic once they noticed. Poor service. Food was cold and soggy. Plus way over priced. We've had good service in the past while eating in but this was pretty bad. Not going back. read more

I just order food off of Uber Eats and I ordered the braised beef soup the dumplings and the Buns. Everything was so good! my favorite was definitely the beef soup!! The serving size was excellent and it tasted amazing. You can taste all of the seasonings and the vegetables everything were fresh. Also the beef was so soft. The dumplings and the Buns where amazing as well. Definitely will be reordering. read more

Authentic. Generous portions. Courteous service. And of course.. Amazing dumplings! We will be back for more

I really wanted to like this place as Poway is hurting for some good Chinese food and I was really hoping not to have to drive down to Convoy Street for some really good dumplings. I usually frequent the Dumpling Inn in Convoy, but I really wanted to support local business so here'smy review. I am giving a 2 star rating because the chow main was the only thing that was somewhat decent..everything else was pretty bad I mean worse than Panda Express. The meal was pricey $73 for a family of four and boy was it the worst $73 bucks we've spent in awhile. We had the pork and shrimp dumplings which were very-very doughy and did not taste fresh. Hot and sour soup was off..missing the hot and the sour flavor with possibly old or expired soy sauce. The orange chicken had so much breading and it was over sweet...it was missing fresh orange flavor and zest..the sweet sauce tasted fake way too sweet. The walnut shrimp was again over breaded over sauced--very heavy on the mayo. Overall we will not be back. read more

Overall, I'd come back for some dishes but not others. The house chow mein and sausage fried rice were really good. The disappointment was in the bao and dumplings which is what I came there for. I was expecting the bbq pork bun to be the red bbq pork similar to Chinese dim sum. Instead it was almost like a ground pork with dark brown sauce. The actually bao breading was excellent. I'm not sure if it's not traditional Chinese but I didn't love it. I also got the steamed dumplings, pork and chive. I didn't like the flavor on the inside and overall didn't love the dumpling. I wouldn't order them again. read more

I've eaten here twice...both times I got food poisoning. I really wanted to like Joyee, but they are disorganized, takes forever to get takeout and we've gotten sick twice here. I don't recommend eating here. read more

Ordered delivery via DoorDash since I wanted to try them out before the one in 4s Ranch opens. Read other reviews but it seems that people are so used to one type of Chinese food. Since I have been to different regions in China it is like any large country. There are going to be variants. What I love is the seafood wonton soup, had a place near my work that had it then they closed. Just a warning the soup is not for one person or one sitting. So if you get it make sure you share or plan on leftovers. It is awesome. read more

Wait times are very excessive. Waited for an hour for my order and the inside was packed with others waiting for orders and for delivery drivers waiting for orders. There was no where to sit and most definitely no social distancing. And food was not worth the wait. read more

Visited Joyee's with a friend for lunch. She had the chicken chow mein,I had a tofu dish and we shared an order of the pork/chive dumplings. Omg, the portions are shared portions and the chicken chow mein is probably the best I've had. Not greazy and great taste. The dumplings, yuuum! The tofu was great as well. We went home with leftovers for sure. read more

My whole family liked this place a lot, especially the XLB and the wonton soup. Yum! The food was fresh, authentic, and overall delicious. One thing was that the chive and egg pancake wasn't really a pancake as pictured on the menu but was more like an empanada. Just wasn't what we expected. read more

I order dumpling, xiao long bao, and some dishes of proj belly, it oa very very salty, and pricey, will not come again

Phenomenal service and good eats.. in town for a softball tourney and this place just happened to be near the laundry mat we stopped in to do a quick load. Just wanted an appetizer to hold us over. We had the bbq pork buns and the pork/shrimp shumai.. super authentic and can't wait to visit the Poway area again.. we will definitely make a visit here at Joycee Dumpling House read more

Found this place accidentally, but what a gem! Delicious food. Dumplings are flavorful, potstickers are excellent Braised beef noodle soup is so good. Customer service is excellent, He actually told us not too order too much because just the 2 of us.. what an honest business owner. Thank u so much!!! read more

Enjoyed our meal of black bean fish, scallion pancakes, shrimp and pork dumplings, and xiao long bao. Everything tasted delicious and think we found our new takeout Chinese food in the up north area. read more

Authentic Chinese food. Taste is top notch. Pricey for chinese food but worth it love the garlic snow peas

Delicious and generous servings! We ordered several kinds of dumplings (all yummy and they were big), the chow mein was also very good, so was the cumin lamb--something new that I haven't tried yet. Will order from them again. So happy to see a dumpling place in Poway! read more

Got delivery from this place and the food was delicious! Best things we ordered were the xiao long bao and the dan dan noodles. Both were super tasty and for delivery they were great. XLB maybe not as hot as it would be ideal but flavor wise they were perfect. The green bean leafs were a great side for the dumplings. I was not a super fan of their pork buns but more because of personal taste rather than anything wrong with them. Will order from here again for sure. read more

SERVICE AS BAD AS ANY RESTAURANT WE HAVE EVER BEEN TOO! While the food was decent the service will keep us from ever returning. The guy that helped us was very inattentive and just seemed to have zero interest in doing his job well. He forgot drinks, never refilled waters, we had to grab extra napkins from another table, he never cleared dirty plates from appetizers, forgot part of our order and never asked us if there was anything else we needed. Skip this place 100% of the time to go less than a mile down the road to Ju Feng Yuan Dumpling Cafe for an elite food and service experience. With a server like we experienced it won't be long before this restaurant disappears as continues to have less and less clientele as there are too many options to ever deal with this type of service. If management even cares about this type of bad service we were there Wed June 19th in the evening. You will find much better service in competitor restaurants in same lot. read more

I like the food, tastes good and comes out quick. I like to get the scallion pancakes, dandan noodles, and crispy spicy chicken. The crispy spicy chicken is very spicy! But I love it. I've tried other items, they all taste pretty good. Service is very friendly and it's clean inside read more

Shanghai Steam Bun(10) this item was unacceptable, raw. Who wants to eat raw pork. I don't have a picture because it went into the trash. I see other comments on under cooked pork. Joyee staff, please cook your food properly. Thank you. read more

Ordered through yelp and delivery came within the time window stated on order. Also person called to let me know he was trying to find apt. After placing at the door sent a text. I ordered the xiolongbao. Upon opening my package I was please to see a container of black vinegar, solstice and spicy oil (this was my flakes than oil). The Dumplings were packed perfectly in their container and still warm when they arrived. Dumplings. The flavor of the meat inside and the dumpling skin itself was nice but ther was absolutely no liquid inside so they did not live up to any expectations. The meat inside was nice bit missing that soup inside. All in all it satisfied my hunger and I got to try them out before leaving San Diego. I would recommend maybe trying other items. Given that Din Tia Fung charges the same price and actually has soup inside theirs. . . .is you want xiolongbao., go to the DTF and get other stuff from here. read more

Authentic and Delicious!!! We love eating here and hope covid, and its severe restrictions, don't cause them too much damage! Order from them! You won't be disappointed! read more

This spot is serving limited number of tables for dining in during Covid. The dine-in service was good. They extra health precautions was followed well. The food was superbly authentic and delicious. We will be a regular visitor. read more

Finally tried this place!! Good covid restrictions in place! Ordered take out. The house chow mein with chicken, beef, and shrimp was seriously the BEST I've had in years!!! At first I thought maybe a little pricey $11/12, but then I saw the portion size! Very generous and worth it! It made 3 meals for me. The meats are tender and flavorful with each bite. The veggies were the same. I did not taste or feel a coating of oil which I usually do in a less desirable chow mein. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

We just ordered our first to go order from this great new spot. The spicy green beans are fantastic. The tofu spicy fish is also wonderful. Comes in a giant tub! Plenty to share! The spicy shrimp come with the whole head on more Cajun style than I've ever seen before at a Chinese restaurant, but we love them! I think the dumplings would've been better not as a to go order because they were a little bit sticky, but we really enjoyed all of our food. read more

The food was okay. Not really the best. Service was also bad. We did not tip but the lady at the front didn't let us leave because we didn't tip. I will not be going back. read more

Great food great service will recommend, it was worthy the drive. Atmosphere just perfect.

Amazing. My new favorite place for this style in poway / north county. I have enjoyed DTF but the drive, the lack of reservations took us here in our own back yard. It was excellent and every bit as good as the other place. Some dishes were even better. Not the same ambiance but I didn't miss the crowd and the noise level at all. I will for sure be back. We took a friend here who is Chinese and he gave it high marks. (Higher than DTF). Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Prompt service and I saw the staff diligently cleaning each table and chair after each group left. Highly highly recommend. read more

This review was for the pork and shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp pot stickers, xiao long bao, and combination chow mien. The food looked authentic, but we thought there were a few quirks. The meat in the xiao long bao tasted sweet like it was made from ground char siu. It also wasn't soupy inside like you might find it at Chuns on Miramar or din tai fung. The potstickers didn't have any shrimp. The dumplings had bits of shrimp, but it wasn't ground or chopped, so not every dumpling had shrimp in it and it was very sparse. The meat was also a little airy and had a slightly different texture than what I was expecting. The noodles were good. read more

Great place for Chinese foods in Poway. The onion pancake, pork pancake, sausage & eggs fried rice and combination noodles were delicious.

OMG the dumplings are soooo good. I had the pork dumplings. It was like the way I always imagined a dumpling should be, very light and fluffy with the meat inside delicately seasoned to make a perfect bite. Now I know where to find them, I can't wait to try the other choices. read more

The service is the best. The waitresses are the sweetest! I love all of their food and dandan noodles are a personal recommendation. From the calming music to the friend environment and tasty food, it's all so remarkable. read more
