Amazing food, friendly staff, large and abundant portions, and good price. Only reason wouldn't give it 5 stars is because of lack of ambient music, and the restaurant could use some nice posters, a little more décor. Overall I would highly recommend this place for the food. read more

Last nights food was really good. The quality fluctuated over the years and we wish the chx mix veg in garlic sauce had a thicker browner sauce but it was still good. $3 extra chx., requested only carrots broccoli and pee pod things. Other was general tzos and very good. Needed extra sauce, will have to get a side next time. read more

Consistently quality food. Prices are reasonable. Service great (just not on a holiday! They get slammed and you will have to wait for large orders) Our family has easily tried half the menu and for our taste, this is the best place around. The veggies are fresh, flavors good. Sushi made fresh. I've watched them bring out the huge pot of sticky rice still steaming on busy nights. It's too small for an eat-in establishment in my opinion, but it is clean and always busy . We've NEVER gotten sick from the food unless from over indulging and have ordered at least every other month for the last 5 years. (So ignore those folks saying negative things about the quality) Whether you go for the wonton soup, hot & sour or Tom yum goon; the dumplings,gyoza or wontons; lo mein, mei fun, read more

Their food is so good! Absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced! This is the place to go!

Although the food was all right the interior was very disappointing. The very small restaurant had no decorations and it acted as a storage room. We will not be back! It is NOT a 4 star but a 2 star restaurant. read more

I've been going to joyful house for almost a decade at this point. Their tuna king roll is one of my favorite rolls from any place that makes sushi. I usually only get sushi from them and have never been disappointed with the quality and freshness. read more

Best Chinese AND sushi around! The service is quick and our orders are always accurate. Wish they delivered but it's worth the drive even if you don't feel like it. read more

The food is amazing also great service. They're on top of everything and seem happy to help you and serve you.

Hair in food . Enough said , I ordered general so bean curd and got some candy covered deep fried sweet and sour . Plus they charge 3.95 for a soda Disgusting food and dirty place The local people like it was very busy with country local. read more

On the search for a good Asian restaurant. We saw quite a few good reviews on this place and decided to take the drive to try them out. The food was okay, but nothing special. We tried a variety of items, wonton soup, sushi rolls, egg roll, and rice. Their wonton soup was too beefy, it was too much of the thick noodle and hearty beef. The broth was much darker than we like. We enjoy a light noodle with pork and a clearer broth. A bag of crispy noodles comes with the soup. The sushi was good, but nothing special. The egg rolls and spring rolls were okay, but nothing special. Not sure if there isn't much competition in the area and maybe that's why it's highly rated, or maybe because it is a clean newer facility. It was not a terrible experience and their food was good, we just wouldn't make the trip back for more. read more

The food is decent However my major complaint is The prices. They have skyrocked and for me unaffordable. I used to order in the past maybe twice a month pre covid? In 2024 once.My other complaint are two other things the wonton soup is lacking the pork slices. In other chinese take out places many years ago, there were plenty if you order the quart of wonton soup the bags are small if they give you two if that, I can't prove this for sure, the plastic container are slightly smaller than the used to be. My next time if I go chinese food. I will go to regal buffet in Reading as you get more for your many. read more

Good food. Everything was delicious, prices aren't terrible. Would recommend if you're looking for decent food in the area.

Great food. My girlfriend had never tried Thai food and now she loves it. Everything tasted great. Definitely recommend.

Large portions of very tasty Chinese food. What's not to like?? It's a bit of a drive from Exeter, but totally worth it. read more

Love the service and food here. My go to for Chinese. They are always polite and the food is hot and tasty.

I love this place. I work nearby, so I come here at least twice a week for lunch. While the menu is similar to other Chinese take-out style restaurants, the quality of the food at Joyful House is way better than the average Chinese joint. Their food is delicious, always fresh, consistent, and often presented very nicely. In addition to Chinese food, they also have a full Japanese menu and Thai menu. I highly recommend: wonton soup, sweet and sour soup, mixed veg in garlic sauce, general tsos, Thai fried coconut shrimp, Thai basil fried rice and anything on the sushi menu. Joyful House is the best restaurant in Douglassville, and definitely the best Chinese restaurant in Berks County. read more

Very delicious fresh food. The boneless barbecue spare ribs are smoky charred and delicious

Great option when it comes to Chinese, Japanese or Thai food. Food quality is always good and the staff are always very nice. I've tried some other options nearby, but Joyful House is the best. I love their lunch specials and especially the sushi. read more

Pleasant Surprise in Douglassville! GOOOOOO here for the sushi. So, I'd like to consider myself a bit of a sushi snob. (Well, or it's deprivation mode if it's not an every week and a half staple in the dinner rotation ). Would've never thought to try....but fortunately have some family that just moved out that way, who love a good local take out scene. Well, and in all honesty, random strip malls and sushi can sometimes be worrisome. But......whoa, oh my, eat here. The biggest tell with good sushi is the fish quality. The biggest tell with Great Sushi is the Rice. And Joyful's rice was so fresh. On the order was an Alaskan Roll, Shrimp and Asparagus (asparagus cooked to perfection), Seaweed Salad, Island Roll and the STAR- Sashimi Special Roll. That Roll....(can I eat another one now please.) So unique without rice and wrapped in cucumber. And just sincerely delicious. Go eat sushi at Joyful House, what a great discovery! read more

Great food and don't limit your meal to just their great Chinese food. The Japanese and Thai food are both good as well. Orders are always done on time and the staff always provides great service. read more

I don't recommend this place! The food is nasty and the place is dirty. I do not recommend wasting your money.

Poor food quality and spices . B quality chicken and spices will produce a C quality dish. I could not believe how rubbery the "white meat chicken" was , disgusting is the only description I can offer . Avoid this place . read more

Always good food and fast, accurate service. Nice people especially the sushi chef.

Favorite Chinese takeout in the area. Wide menu selection ranging from Chinese, to Thai, to Japanese. Vegetables are always fresh - which can't always be said for nearby competitors. Always consistently good. I've ordered the pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, spring rolls, and red vegetable curry consistently. Definitely a staple takeout spot for me! read more

Hot and delicious food every time we order from the friendly staff. Love this place!!

Good food. Nice variety of Asian cuisine. Japanese, Chinese & Thai. If you place an order on Friday and Saturday evenings, be sure to check your order before you leave. Sometimes it's crazy busy and you may end up with a wrong or missing item. Bring it to their attention and they'll always make it right, along with a sincere apology. read more

Very picky when it comes to eating at a mom and pop Chinese place but I always found the Chinese places that have Japanese as well as Thai cuisines as well aren't that bad and found to be pretty good. Being that I was in PA for a job assignment a friend referred me to this place. Decided on Japanese and went with the Chicken Yaki Udon w/ miso soup and the gyoza. Very impressed with the taste of the entree with the chicken good but slightly on the salty side. The gyoza was also great as well as it was lightly pan fried. The establishment was super clean and orderly so I confidence that my food would turn out great. Will come here to try sushi as well as other dishes on the menu. read more

Hot and sour soup, ginger chicken! Excellent dinner. The hot and sour was a little mild on both the hot and the sour for my taste, but still delicious. Added a little hot sauce. The ginger chicken was loaded with stuff. I was once told that you can judge a Chinese restaurant by how uniform the food is chopped. The chef here never heard that. The pieces of chicken, which was plentiful, were huge. Most were 2-3 bites so it was very messy. Not spicy enough for me but I'll know the next time I go I'll ask for extra hot. I will go back. read more

Food is great. But the don't do meals so food is ordered separate kinda price due to that but I'm pleased read more

Best sushi and Chinese food in the area. Will definitely make the drive a town over for take out.

the food wasn't very good and i ended up getting really bad food poisoning from my food. unfortunately won't be going back any time soon! read more

Nice local Chinese takeout with fresh ingredients. General Tso's shrimp is large and I personally like all the dishes with veggies as they are fresh and not overcooked. read more

The food here is always fantastic! Easily one of my favorite Asian restaurants in the county. This was the first place I ordered sushi since the pandemic happened and it was so delicious. The staff is always very friendly and they are very good about following Covid guidelines. Highly recommended! read more

Always amazing. There is so much variety I'm the menu and even my vegan friends have options.

Wanted Chinese food and it is nearly impossible to find anything good near Pottstown (or so I thought). Stumbled upon this place because of a Yelp search. I got the General Tso's platter, spring rolls, and spare ribs. The general tso's is some of the absolute best around. Great spice that builds. The platter was packed with chicken and rice too. Very well done! The spare ribs were a little sweet but you get a LOT even with the small size. Meaty, tender, and what you'd expect. The rice was okay. It was steamed rather than fried. It was a little heavy on mushrooms/water chestnuts (fillers). Overall, a nice gem and very friendly people there. Completely unexpected find near me. read more

Love sushi from this place. The quality is really consistent each time and prices are great as well.

What a great surprise in Douglassville! Their sushi is fresh and tasty. All of the other Asian cuisines on point! Thanks for he fresh pineapple juice read more

Every time I go they never disappoint. I started trying new things because all I really order is vegetable lo mein. They have really great sushi and their hot and sour soup is amazing. read more

First time and wasn't impressed. Some was congealed, while others just wasn't appetizing. My family is vegan and we got bean curd dishes. While the garlic sauce and bean curd was good there was mUbe 2 or 3 pieces in the entire dish. The general tso bean curd was overly sweet, bad the ma po tofu wasn't what my husband expected. All in all it wasn't a great experience. We won't be back. read more
