Our food hasn't been bad, just bland. We have tried the Szechuan Tofu and Garlic Chicken, and neither had a whiff of heat. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp was literally 80% batter and to be clear: there are no vegetables. It is just the batter-fried shrimp. We have tried other dishes, all bland and unremarkable. The one standout that others comment on is the crab Rangoon. I am vegetarian so I haven't tried it, but they are huge and reportedly excellent. It is carry-out only, convenient enough, and the people seem very nice, but we probably won't try it again.

Soups are good. 2 stars because the chicken fingers and sesame chicken are so thick with breading that as you bite in you're thinking where the heck is the meat.

However, the food is hit or miss and almost always on the cooler side. The tea is usually barely warm and I find the egg and spring rolls very mushy in the center. If you aren't expecting great food and just want to get full in a hurry this is your place. I do wish they had a rule about kids getting their own food though as i saw a child pick up a noodle off his plate and drop it back into the buffet. Ick. It seems pretty clean although the bathroom is freezing and they have no warm water and the service is very friendly. I know I'll be back because its a favorite of some of the family.

The first clue was the Cold Sesame Noodles appetizer that we tried. A generous portion and as close as I have had, to Chinatown taste. The hot and sour soup was served cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen to be heated, but once it was hot it was as good a soup as I have had. Egg rolls were crispy and crunchy and we all enjoyed them but the Duck Sauce was very watery. That could be improved. We had shrimp with lobster sauce which couldn't have been any better. Wonderful flavor and huge fresh shrimp. The boneless ribs were the star of the show. Big meaty chunks of pork rib piled high on the plate. Every table around us ordered them. Sweet and charred crispy, they are a must have! The fried rice was NY style with bits of pork and a hint of vegetables mixed in. I would have given Joy Wah 5 stars for the food but our waiter was just a little bit below par. We ordered several dishes to share but never were offered plates to share with. When we asked for to go boxes he bought us boxes too small for amounts of food on our plates. And he had his face in his phone the entire time we were there. If he paid more attention this would have been a 5 star review.

The prices here are pretty good, most items are priced under $11 with a few special dishes $11.05-$13.75. 25 Daily Combination Platters served with choice of rice and choice of one appetizer are offered for lunch ($5.55-$6.15) and dinner (after 3PM $7.45-$8.05). This is the typical order at the counter Chinese restaurant with self serve booth seating for eating in. The temperature in the dining/waiting area was on the very warm side. The kitchen area is not open, but visible through the revolving door. For takeout, I ordered the Lunch Combo 4: Shrimp Lo Mein with Pork Fried Rice and 2 Chicken Teriyakis. The food was ready in under 10 minutes. The portion of food was a good amount. The lo mein noodles (light yellow) were soft and slightly overdone which had minimal vegetables (carrot & cabbage) and tender soft shrimp (cleaned). The lo mein dish had an unusual sweet taste. The pork fried rice (light tan) was decent, which had a mix of soft firm rice, egg, and tender roast pork cubes. The chicken teriyaki sticks were sweet tasting on the outside and the boneless chicken was chewy consisting of some yellow chicken fat, which I needed to trim off before eating. Overall, the lunch was filling, the price was reasonable (for lunch), and fairly decent and not bad. I may be back in here for lunch. NOTE: No checks accepted, but they accept MC and Visa.
