I had a lovely experience at M Joy (San Gabriel). I ordered the Lamb Shank ($21.49). It includes a plump, juicy lamb shank, rice refills, and lamb bone soup refills. WOW! I devoured that incredible, filling meal. (Important: There's an added 12% service charge for dine-in. And there's a one hour dining period limit for customers.) I arrived at M Joy (San Gabriel) on Thursday (around 11:21AM). Parking is easy. There's an underground parking structure with plenty of spots. Customers order via QR Code. Customers scan the code at the table, and customers tap the options on their phone. Staff is very hardworking and professional. Staff (Kyle) worked quickly, accurately, and attentively. Kyle spoke Mandarin and English, and Kyle politely answered all my questions. Kyle worked hard; Kyle is an AMAZING staff member. My food took six minutes and 13 seconds. Very fast!! As mentioned, I ordered the Lamb Shank ($21.49). TASTY!! The lamb is MASSIVE and it falls seductively off the bone. Each bite tasted tender and satisfying. I felt my eyes widen as it softly broke apart with each bite. JUICY! The rice is also hot and fluffy, and the soup is clean and refreshing. I felt happy. On ambiance, M Joy (San Gabriel) is very clean and cozy. It fits about six small tables. There's soft instrumental music, and its tall ceiling makes the location appear more spacious. There's no hand sanitizer bottle nor inside restroom, but Staff does offer the restroom key for one that's nearby. However, this location is family friendly with its nearby stack of children high chairs. Overall, I had a magical experience at M Joy (San Gabriel). This location surpassed all expectations. It's no wonder why this business was featured in the "Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants." If you love juicy, succulent lamb, this is an extremely easy recommendation. 5 out of 5! GO! JUST GO!!! read more

Have been to M Joy and have ordered take out many times including Uber Eats to the DTLA area that is how much I like it. The owner provides great customer service. I usually get the number 1 which is a double lamb rib. It comes with rice mixed with carrots, the rice is so good. I usually add cold dish carrots, pickled onions, and chili oil all together. The lamb is juicy, moist, and tender. It can be fatty so order with caution, if you want something leaner order 1 rib and 1 lamb shank for the best of both worlds. Be warned the shank can feel more dry after eating the fattier lamb rib. The soup is good and if you want help digesting all this meat, yogurt is available for order. I've also had the double lamb rib grilled and it was so good. It added a different texture to the outside and still tender and soft on the inside. It was a game changer, however one time it came out over cooked and it was like chewing on rubber. The owner was able to remedy the situation. Overall, M Joy specializes in one thing and that is lamb. This location is small and cozy, and food done right. read more

We got the lamb shank and lamb rib rice. It came with soup, pickled carrots and onions. The soup, rice, carrots, and onions are refillable. They're very generous with the refills too. The shank and the rib are super tender and not gamey at all. We also got the skewers but they were not as tender as the shank and rib. There was only one guy working when we came on a Saturday night but he was still pretty attentive. There's only about 7 tables at this place so there might be a wait. Minimal but clean decor. Parking at this plaza can be difficult at busier times. read more

This place is more of a 3.5 than a 4 star. 4/5 lamb shank rice was ok. The rice lacked flavor and the lamb was very dry 1/5 the coleslaw is the worse version I've ever had. Do not order this. It tasted like straight oily mayonnaise w/o any other spices added. Not even salt. The dish came with some with veggies and a pretty good lamb broth. Both of which are refillable. read more

Woah I was so shocked by how delicious M Joy was! Came for dinner on a Thursday evening and I was so blown away. The restaurant looks like a small storefront that doesn't have much to offer, but their dishes here taste like they're straight from the streets of China. We ordered the braised lamb shank over rice. It comes with a carrot rice and some side dishes (raw red onion, sauteed carrots, and spicy). The lamb was SO fatty and tender and delicious. The meat just falls off the bone and the rice is seasoned so yummy. It goes perfectly with the red onion. We also ordered the lamb skewers - 3 large skewers with lots of juicy meat. And it comes with a delicious spicy salt to dip the meat in. We also got the oven roasted lamb leg - which was good but not my favorite. Service is extremely quick - food is out within 5 minutes. There's parking in the plaza, lots of dessert and boba options all around, and this restaurant is just a no-frills delicious spot. read more

Came here for a late lunch on a Saturday and we luckily did not have trouble getting sat. This is a small establishment that maybe seats like 16 people max so I've heard waits can get a bit excessive. However, its a cute spot and you definitely get a strong waft of lamb when you walk in. M Joy is a specialist restaurant in that they really only have lamb and rice on the menu. We had a party of 3 and ordered a grilled lamb shank, 3 lamb skewers, and a rice plate with shank and rib. They do have some coleslaw as a veggie side but this is the like the Xinjiang meat and potatoes equivalent dish. I really enjoyed the food, the lamb was super succulent and tender. If you like lamb, you will like this establishment but if you don't like lamb, do not come. The grilled lamb shank was my personal favorite with some nice crispy parts along with tender, fatty interior. The lamb skewers were less fatty so a bit tougher but not in a gristley, poor textured way just had the bite of meat. The rice was great and deeply flavored with lamb fat. Apparently, you can also just ask for extra rice and they will provide an extra bowl free of charge. Another great spot in the SGV and glad I got to try it sans wait. We all left feeling very full and ended up skipping dinner (granted we also ate late and had post meal boba, as is the 626 way). read more

Small cafe located on a corner inside a crowded strip mall among lots of other eateries in a high traffic area of San Gabriel. The name of the game here is lamb. If you look at the menu, it really is lamb prepared in various ways with the two main methods of being braised or grilled. You order from a QR code, but there is a person there to help you as needed. Get the skewers or the grilled shank or ribs if you want that slight char with the spices adorning the dishes. On this visit, I opted for a lamb shank (braised) with rice. At $20.99 as of 01/2026, it might be the best deal for a quality meal that includes lamb shank that I can think of in all of the LA metro area. The rice is plump and firm, flavored from the lamb broth and drippings. There is a cup of the broth served with this dish as well as some other sides of pickled carrots, onions, and chili oil so you can add to the dish for personal taste. Most importantly, the lamb was almost fall off the bone tender and flavorful. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I got a little overexcited, but I ordered their in house made yogurt with raisins (which works as both a dessert and actually a side as well!) and their salty milk tea to wash everything down. Very delicious and comforting. I had to get pretty much half my entree to go because I was stuffed finishing the yogurt and the pot of tea. This is a very popular strip mall/ shopping plaza so parking can be tricky although I always seem to find a spot when I'm here. There's parking underground and a lot towards the back as well. This trip, I actually parked along the street and just walked up a few steps. read more

Come if you love lamb! We love lamb so the three of us shared two orders of the lamb shank and a plate of skewers. Cook to perfection and tastes well with the pickled carrots, onions and chili provided. The rice is also flavorful. The service was excellent too. Highly recommend! read more

Restaurant is located in a plaza area and I was not expecting it to be as good as it actually was if I were to judge it purely based off of looks. Super hole in the wall and comfortable looking. When my group of 5 sat down, we were prompted to order off of our phones using the QR code at the table. Everyone can order and put in their things from their phone and it just adds it onto the tables order. All of us got the lamb shank and rib combo, with some of us paying a bit extra for the grilled option and we also got some lamb skewers to share. Overall everything was delicious and generous in portion! What made it even better was the rice and the sides that came with the main entree. The carrot rice and the picked veggies/sauce paired perfectly with the lamb. Would come back again :) read more

Located in a small plaza in San Gabriel. They got parking for patrons above and under ground. The shop is rather small. The interior was clean but crammed. Expect some wait time as you arrive, especially on the weekends. The food could be ordered online. The food was served in a timely manner. The freshly cooked lamb meat was tender and fresh. The grilled ribs was delicious without being extremely greasy. The rice platter was very fulfilling. With the amount of food received, the price was very justifiable and reasonable. The experience was good, if the dining space was bigger without being crammed. The service could use a small improvement. It gets a 4.1 out of 5. read more

Parking: M Joy is located in the same plaza as Chi Cha San Chen. The plaza is extremely old and really should have their parking spots restriped for modern day car sizes. Parking is terrible here. Interior: M Joy is a very small restaurant. There are maybe 5 tables available for dine-in. There is even a sign that says to please limit your time. Service: I ordered takeout. There were two guys at the register. Neither of them spoke English well. Unfortunately, I think that led to them messing up my order. I ordered two Lamb Rib Doubles but one of them ended up being a single. Unfortunately, I was already home so I couldn't do anything about it. Food: Despite messing up my order, the food itself was delicious. The lamb was very tender and flavorful. I also got an order of lamb skewers and that was seasoned and cooked perfectly. It is a bit pricey but I would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Think Hainan chicken rice but with lamb shank/ribs and that gives you an idea of this restaurant's sole focus: lamb braised or grilled. Their braised lamb shank and ribs come meltingly tender on a bed of rice perfumed with lamb-y deliciousness punctuated by bright carrots. The condiment tray of onions and carrots add a pop of brightness to break through the richness of this dish. For an even more unique experience try the Mongolian style salted milk tea--you'll want it hot as they suggest it because of its rich butteriness. It's a bit salty-sweet. Your order through a QR code that you scan with your cell phone. Service mainly consists of bringing your food out to you. The ambiance is perfunctory but softened with pleasant music playing overhead. A fun food adventure! read more

Ohhh Boy! This was definitely a Joy! If you're into Lamb then this is our Jam! Maaan! You should've seen me with a shank in my hand! And my tastebuds saying Daaamn! Ok believe it not this place is the spot so let me tell y'all what I got. If this was a fraternity like Lambda Lambda Lambda you know they're hot! First up was the Lamb Shank that was so soft and juicy that came with rice that reminded me of my childhood, so good. Next was their Lamb Skewers that were cooked to perfection and our tastebuds were humming! While enjoying our feast we had the special tea with milk. Ok this was very flavorful, creamy and rich and made this tasty experience even better. I also got to try the homemade yogurt which was a perfect end the adventure. It was tangy and I was told it was good for digestion so there's that. Ultimately he was right and we enjoyed all the recommendations. Service was great and attentive and will definitely be coming back again. There's a one hour time limit so beware of that because it's a small spot but after all we're here to grub! Parking can be a challenge so come early and if you already know then ya know. That's my take, Peace... read more

This place is really good! We ordered the Rib and Shank which comes with carrot rice. The rib and shank were both super tender, fell off the bone, and really flavorful. I was amazed by how delicious this dish was. The carrot rice had a nice fragrance and was good as well. Highly recommend this dish! We also got the Lamb Shank. This was also super good! It has the similar flavors/seasonings as you would normally taste from a usual Chinese skewers place but more elevated. The lamb was delicious and perfectly cooked. Would also recommend this one as well. It also came with sides like pickled veggies which were tasty. The Lamb Skewers were delicious. Some lamb pieces were juicier than others but were overall pretty good. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. The prices here are reasonable for the quality of food you get. The service was also great. Will definitely be back! read more

This little gem is a REAL deal!!!!! I'm glad that I've tried it out today Service is oaky, but food is outstanding! 1. Braised Lamb Shank 5-star It's very tender falling off the bone on your 1st bite, yet only wish there's more portion on the meat part... 2. Carrot Rice: 5-star This is served as of a set order w/ refillable lamb broth and slaws of shredded carrot and onion in pickle style. It's crunchy and flavorful. The rice cooked in lamb broth and carrots, it's so satisfied and portion is generous! 3. Lamb Skewers: 3.5-star It's fairly dry and chewy. 4. Grilled Lamb Ribs: 5-star They using the braised lamb to grill it for crispy taste on the outer side yet the inside is still very tender! This version costs you more for about $5-6 than the braised lambs. It's worth it! Unlimited lamb broth to wash down the grease of lamb. Side dish: pickled carrots and red onions are well balanced out your meat portion! This is one of the most delish succulent dining experience for me as of a foodie this year read more

LAMB-LICIOUS!!! My 1st time here and omg what a find! This place has a really simple menu and it's based on lamb. They only serve 100% grass fed lamb from New Zealand and you can totally taste the great quality it is. I ordered the rib and shank meal which comes with rice with carrots and sides of carrots, onions, chili oil and lamb bone soup. I also got an ordered of the grilled ribs. I'm in love with the shank. It was so tender and flavorful. The grilled ribs were also excellent and it came with chili powder on it and more on the side to dip. The service was basic and the restaurant is really small. There is a sign that says you can only be seated for an hour probably because there's only 6 tables from what I remember. I'm most definitely coming back because it's the best lamb I've ever had. read more

I came to M Joy after seeing it on TikTok for a birthday celebration with my friend, and we ordered a few things to try. The service was quick and efficient. We arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday night and didn't have to wait, which was great. Here's what we ordered: Salty Milk Tea: 8/10 The salty milk tea had a mellow milk-tea flavor that was really comforting. Not too strong, just smooth and enjoyable. Lamb Skewers: 10/10 These were our absolute favorite!! The skewers had the perfect blend of fatty and lean pieces, and they even provided extra dipping sauces for seasoning. Lamb Grilled Ribs: 7.5/10 I really wanted to like these, but the pieces were quite fatty, which made them harder to finish. I would've preferred leaner cuts of meat :( Lamb Shank With Rice: 8/10 This dish came with soup and toppings. The pickled onions were super tangy and crunchy, adding a nice pop. The lamb shank itself wasn't gamey at all and was fall-off-the-bone tender Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Joy. Everything came out quickly, the flavors were solid, and parking was easy at either in the structure or in the basement below. Happy eating! read more

I always order the lamb shank. One order comes with big piece of lamb on a plate of rice and carrots. In addition, the order comes with a bowl of lamb bone soup, pickled carrot slices, pickled onion slices, and chili sauce. It's nice that will give more rice, soup, and sides upon request. The lamb skewers look spicy but they're not spicy. They're more on the fatty side. I always order by scanning the QR code on the table and the food comes pretty quickly afterwards. There's limited seating inside but I've never had to wait for a spot. There's a big underground parking lot. Sometimes I get lucky and find a parking spot on the same level as the restaurant. read more

I always get the lamb shank when I come. The lamb is always super soft. It comes with tons of rice and they will give you more rice upon request. The lamb shank also comes with a soup and sides. The sides consists of chili oil, pickled carrots, and pickled red onions. It's quite a relaxing atmosphere with very light jazz playing in the background. Parking is super easy. If you can't find parking, they have an underground parking that has a lot of spots. read more

It's a brightly lit, cute but unassuming lil joint where they focus on a very small menu of options, but it feels strategic cuz food was done so well. My friend and I got the Rib & Shank entree and lamb skewers. Dude, this entree! I was grooving to no music, the food was so good! The meat is so tender & falls off the bone. The rice is flavorful and rich without feeling too heavy, and the carrot pieces within the rice fit in perfectly (I dislike it when carrot pieces feel undercooked and make their presence in your mouth known like a rude interruption to a rice dish). The entree also came with soup (soulfully warm and the perfect amount of saltiness w/ fresh scallions) and a tray of pickled red onions, pickled julienned carrots, and their chili sauce (flavor and texture are excellent, and it's not too spicy, so you can apply it liberally). These, plus the rice, are refillable! The lamb skewers also shined: delectable, already-separated, tender, bite-sized morsels of lamb that slide off the skewers so easily and come alive w/ the cumin powder provided on the side. If you couldn't tell from my verbal exclamations as I ate, you'd have been able to tell from my upper body dance that I was a very happy camper. (; Our server was also very attentive w/ pouring our waters and making sure we knew what was refillable. Bonus: you order and pay via a QR code. I was surprised by the option to split the bill (but didn't try it since I was treating my friend) 0.0 Note: yelp says they close at 7pm on Thurs, but that's a typo. We called ahead of time (since we were planning to go on a Thurs), and they confirmed they're open till 8:30pm on Thursdays too. read more

Went on a weeknight but since they only had a few tables, we had to wait about 20 min for a table. Once we were seated, we ordered thru the phone with a QR code. We got the lamb shank rice, lamb skewers and lamb ribs. The lamb shank was so tender and the rice was flavored with the lamb fat. The skewers and ribs were flavored with cumin and typical Chinese dry seasoning. Everything was so flavorful and absolutely amazing. They also give you unlimited soup and some pickled vegetables as side dishes. read more

Located in the heart of San Gabriel foodie district, this cute little restaurant sits in a busy plaza filled with tea cafes and restaurants. Inside the restaurant, there are about 6-7 tables. You should get here early to join the waitlist or else you might wait for an hour to get seated and good luck finding parking. I recommend going to the underground parking garage for better parking. If you like lamb then everything on the menu is a good choice to order. I recommend their rib and shank meal (comes with unlimited rice and a warm soup) and their sweet milk tea. The saltiness of the meat and the refreshing flavors of the tea create a delicious combo. Their pricing is reasonable since their sides and rice are unlimited. This place is definitely a not-so hidden gem! Don't come here pls because I want to eat here again I want to gatekeep this place read more

Another SGV gem! I ordered the lamb skewers and the grilled lamb through Fantuan. The service was quick, only about 15 minutes from the time I placed my order. My favorite was the grilled lamb. The meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned. The lamb skewers, on the other hand, were a bit meatier than the grilled lamb. Personally, I preferred the grilled lamb. The space isn't very large, best for small groups of 2-3 people. They also have plenty of parking, including underground parking, which is a great bonus. read more

I had the lamb shank/rib combo and it was great. They truly specialize in the lamb. The flavor is fantastic; rich, satisfying, and the clear star of the show. Not gamey for my standards and a pretty decent portion size. I'd skip the milk tea personally; it wasn't my cup of tea. I'd save room to get chicha next door. read more

M Joy - Rib And Shank (For One) - Chinese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Located in one of the main plazas and focused entirely on lamb. They serve broiled and grilled ribs, shanks, and skewers, and everything we tried was excellent. The lamb was cooked really well with just the right amount of fat in every bite. Customer service was extremely nice and welcoming. The rice was cracked. Using the lamb fat reminded me of Hainan chicken rice, and it's dangerously good. They're known for their broiled lamb, but the grilled options were also very solid. I preferred the broiled version because grilled kinda had that spiked flavor. Service: Extremely friendly and welcoming Food/Drinks: Excellent lamb across the board, broiled lamb stands out, rich rice cooked with lamb fat Ambiance: Small, hard to sit. 9/10 Fantastic lamb spot with great execution and flavors that really hit read more

M Joy - Chinese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

M Joy is the Bubba Gump of lamb. You can choose between lamb ribs, lamb shanks, lamb skewers, grilled lamb, and lamb soup. The dishes skew toward northwestern China and Central Asia in terms of spices and preparation. Lamb Rib Single with Rice: They'll bring a plate of lamb and rice, a bowl of clear lamb consommé, and a dish of carrots, raw onions, and chili. The rice is firm and chewy, slick from the lamb broth and fat, with bits of carrots. The New Zealand lamb has been cooked for so long that this is beyond tender with no gaminess. It's as soft as pulled pork. The carrots, onions, and chili add flavor and texture, and they'll keep offering to refill the condiments. Dining Area: There are half a dozen little tables. However, they are so close together, you'll be practically in the middle of your neighbor's conversation. Parking: This is your standard u-shaped mini-mall on Valley with a few spots in the back and underground parking. read more

M Joy - Lamb Rib Single with Rice - Chinese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

M Joy dishes out a mean Lamb and Rice dish. Their lamb is New Zealand sourced and prepared with Shank or Rib over a bed of carrot rice. The lamb is steamed to perfection and falls off the bone. I highly recommend ordering the plate that has both shank and rib. Don't skip on the pickled onion/carrots with each of your bites. This will really elevate the dish even more. If you are feeling for a sweet treat with the meal, do yourself the favor and order the Hokkaido milk tea. The restaurant is fairly small and is ordered through QR on their website. Would recommend arriving early or at off hours as it can get busy. read more

I placed an order to go over the phone. Lamb shank for one and 4 pieces of the grill rib. This was for my husband and oldest daughter since they both love to eat lamb. If I can give this place 10 stars I would! The food was so good. I wish we can gatekeep this place...but at the same time the world needs to know how good the food is. The person who too my order (same person who I picked up from) was very nice. The total came out to $50 and some change. The total is right for the quality. Not gamey and absolutely mouth watering. The inside was very clean and modern. Small but just right. Overall I will continue to come and support M JOY! read more

The food was great! The lamb shank and the ribs - both original, and grilled - were perfect! The rice was delicious! BUT, I saw them DROP two pieces of the barbecue skewers ON THE FLOOR behind the half-curtains. SOMEONE PICKED THEM UP, PUT THEM BACK ON THE PLATTER AND SERVED IT AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED I had to call them out to confirm if they did drop it. At first, they didn't know how to respond, but after a few moments of eye contact, they decided to replace it right away with no questions asked. Now, would you trust eating the 'new' set of skewers that they served? And look at that picture - nowhere near like other pics of the skewers on this Yelp page :-( Management, please kindly re-train your kitchen crew on food safety and handling. read more

You can't judge by the photos. I was not too impressed by photos, but this restaurant made the LA Times top 101 restaurants list, so there had to be a reason. The boiled rib is almost like Hainan chicken - boiled, but very flavorful. They make the rice in the lamb soup as well so the rice is also very flavorful. The rib meat dipped in the chili oil and finished off with the pickled carrots is a WONDERFUL flavor explosion. Really glad I decided to give the spot a try and not let the photos sway my decision. read more

New lamb specialty restaurant in San Gabriel! It is the new opening so they are running a 12% discount for the next week or so. Lamb Rib + Shank Main Course ($24.99) The price looks a bit steep but M Joy does not skimp of the meat and portion size. Even if you have a big appetite, you are sure to get full from this cuz there unlimited soup and rice (if everyone orders one main course). And yes, you can also ask for more sides of carrot, onion or house made chili oil too! Grilled Rib ($12.99) Best item tried today. Pro tip, you can get this rib swapped in as the protein for the main course, but you gotta come ask for it in person cuz it's off the menu. Nonetheless would recommend getting. Specialty Milk Tea - Salty ($7.46) I like the presentation of this and flavor. It is quite unique and the saltiness almost make it taste like a cheesy tea drink. But the dairy part is not overpowering. Also not too sweet. Would rec if you like sweet and salty to begin with, and it should be enough for two people. Service was also quick and attentive. QR menus available for quick order but would need to reach out for specific requests. read more

Simple and delicious! That's how I would describe it the food at Mjoy. The lamb shank was excellent -tender and delicious- and went well with the pickled carrots & onions, and the rice!

I love lamb but no one else in my family really eats it. I ordered takeout and I got their Rib+Shank Plate and their Grilled Ribs. The plate came with rice, cumin powder, chili oil and pickled veggies. I really enjoyed their lamb. The ribs were soft and fatty and the shank was just fork tender. Meat literally fell off when I grabbed it by the bone. The grilled lamb had a bit more texture so that was also really good. Wish I could've tried their lamb skewers but I did not want to pig out. The restaurant is pretty small but the service was friendly. read more

M Joy has a short menu, but they know what they do well. The rib and shank over rice is tender and well flavored (despite being boiled meat, lol). The shank is better suited for you if you don't like the gamier taste of lamb, but the rib was my favorite -- it falls apart in your mouth. Rice and soup, along with the pickled veggie sides, were all delicious accompaniments. Services was also great :) read more

Went there before open and tried the rib and lamb shank in both the braised and grilled version. BOTH were delicious but I preferred the braised as I like it fatty and the melt-in-your-mouth texture. The rice and slaw complimented the lamb very well. We also tried skewers and milk tea. The milk tea is low key underrated and went well with the meal. If you don't get the milk tea, there's Chicha San Chen next door :) Would go back again either to-go or dine-in! read more
