The restaurant is very clean, spacious, and visually appealing. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a variety of dumplings along with a few stir-fry dishes, and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My personal favorite was the eggplant in garlic sauce--it was incredible. My family loved the dry stir-fry green beans, and the crab and pork soup dumplings were a hit for all of us. Service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and helped guide us through the menu, which made the experience even better. Everything came out hot and fresh. Overall, such a great experience. This will definitely be our new go-to spot whenever we're in the area!

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 6 Overall: 7 I have been coming here for the last 20 years. It has been one of my favorite dim sum restaurants in all of the US. Obviously things change over time, but my recent visit still tells me that most of the food is still very solid, though not quite as great as it once was. What I love about this place is that all the food comes out fresh and hot. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite items have taken a step back. For example, the Sticky Rice Flour Dumpling w/ Pork & Dried Shrimp had way less filling than a few years ago. Still good flavor, but not great any more. Also, what happened to the Pork & Shrimp Stuffed Peppers? All I tasted was soy based ground pork and no shrimp whatsoever. Lastly, the Duck Egg Yolk Custard Bun has gone really downhill. Skip! With that said, I still absolutely love their Pork & Shrimp in Dried Bean Sheet Roll. One of the best I've had anywhere. Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce and Fatty Pork Ribs, and Sole Filet in a Fried Thin Rice Wrap are still excellent. There are many other standard items that are done well, but not necessarily better than most places. Every time I come to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Casino, this has been a must stop. Though I feel the quality has downgraded a bit, I would still consider this restaurant one of the best places to eat in the area. However, I do hope that they find their old magic touch with some of my favorite dishes.

The general vibe here was elegant dining as there were chandeliers and table cloths and chairs draped in matching fabric. Also lots of natural light and large windows.

Everything came out steady and hot. I was satisfied and it was all so tasty! Service was good and I was glad that I decided to grab a bite here.

Looking for something to eat after landing at BOS airport, my husband and I decided to explore Chinatown. Figured we could do some dim sum for a late breakfast, early lunch (the time was a little after 10:35 am). Found this of one of a few places to have dim sum, we decided to come here since we weren't too far from it on foot. When we walked in, I let the employee know that we are a party of 2. Because this is a smaller restaurant, we were sat at a large round communal table. I am definite not a fan of this style of seating but it's fine (although we had walked passed another dim sum restaurant that was fancier that did not have tables like that and saw that 2 people were just sat at a table by themselves and wished we had gone to that restaurant instead. But didn't see this restaurant until after we had already had our meal). After looking over the menu, we ended up getting: Chicken Feet, $6.99 prior to tax- My husband got this for himself. I am not a big fan of chicken feet and only eat maybe 1 at most. But I wasn't really in the mood to eat it. But he enjoyed it. Choy Shum, $11.95 prior to tax- I love to have vegetables at every meal, when possible. So we ordered these vegetables, which were nice and tender and they were nice. I do like that the oyster sauce wasn't as heavily drizzled on top, which was nice. Shrimp Rice Noodle, $6.99 prior to tax- This came in an order of 3. These were good but standard. Pork Siu Mai, $6.99 prior to tax- I thought these tasted okay, just a little oily. Tea, $1.25 per person- You are charged this fee per person, regardless if you drink tea or not. --------------------------------- (Total= $37.90 after tax, prior to tip) Please note that to order, you just mark what items you want on a paper menu and then the food items will be brought out to you. This is supposed to be the fresher way of food items, since the idea is that it is made to order instead of staying inside a cart that may end up getting dry as it gets pushed around the restaurant. This place supposedly takes credit card, as there was a visa logo sticker in their entrance window. But when asked the employee who gave us the bill if they take credit card, she told us that cash is preferred (which is funny because this one Caucasian family sitting at our table looked a little freaked out because I think they were planning on paying with credit card). My husband ended up paying with two twenty dollar bills. The employee was just standing right next to my husband and asked if we need change. My husband said no (my husband was planning on leaving additional tip on the table before leaving). She then pointed to the bottom of the bill of the suggested tip and seemed rather pushy and insistent that we leave a tip (well a higher tip). So my husband (although feeling awkward), pulled out a few more dollars and gave it to her. She seemed satisfied and then walked away. I have never gone to any dim sum restaurant where tip was pushed upon and that a server would be so pushy and aggressive about it. I have also read from a few other Yelp members that have also experienced the same thing on their dining experience. It is a good thing I don't live in Boston because I would never come back to this restaurant if I did.

One Thai (eggplant) and one from Shaanxi China region (Biang Biang). I ordered the Biang Biang extra spicy but I'm guessing they didn't believe me. It was tasty but regular spice level. It's clear that there were actual Szechuan peppers in it - characteristic tingle effect. Which is nice to see now that the US has decided they're not poison after all. The braised eggplant with Thai basil (hence known as basil eggplant in most Thai restaurants) was creamy in texture and rich in flavor. The meal started with hot and sour soup, which was surprising. The cup was quite large and the soup was absolutely packed with ingredients. Tofu, wood ear mushrooms, lily buds and more. Super satisfying, although I ordered a side of black vinegar to get it a bit more sour. The prices were super reasonable for normal portions but the portions weren't normal - they were HUGE. Half the noodles went home with me as well as half the braised eggplant. Hard to see how they support such huge portions without correspondingly huge prices.

The chive pockets are great if you like veggies, chives especially. We ended up getting another order of crab meat XLBs, along with pan fried pork + shrimp dumplings. The lady helping us was very nice and super efficient. After ordering, our food was ready within minutes! Definitely come try the soup dumplings from here. Probably one of the best ones I've tried in MA and comes close to the XLBs I have had in Shanghai ;))

Where am I suppose to go for BBQ Pork Buns / Char Siu Bao buns ?…read more I posed this question in the Worcester FB group and most of them pointed me towards this restaurant. I've previously eaten here a few times, but I've never managed to stop by early enough for their Dim Sum lunch until now. As a side note, I cannot believe Worcester doesn't have ANY restaurants that serve these buns? Sounds like some enterprising individual needs to fulfill this void. I normally drive all the way to Joyful Garden in Watertown when I have a Dim Sum craving. Other times I will already be wandering through Boston before I stop by Hei La Moon. I came here with the expectation that I will get the same quality foods. This place has got a pretty darn big parking lot. I'm not going to count every spot on Google Maps, but it's about 50 spots. So it should not be hard to park. Walking inside, I was quickly greeted by the wait staff and directed to my table. I'm no interior design expert, so I will candidly say that the decor totally yells 'very Chinese' and elegant. I don't know man, just look at the interior pictures and you'll understand what I mean. If you've never done Dim Sum before, it can be very overwhelming. Someone with a cart will come by and you'll have several seconds to process what's available and say "Yes" or "No" through a variety of dishes they point at. And then before you can recover, another staff member will come by with another cart with towers of steaming baskets and you go through the song and dance again. I kid you not, in the average Dim Sum experience you will sit down and then have a table full of food literally within a few minutes. Before I knew it, I had 3 plates and 3 baskets on my table. The verdict? Totally delicious. I'm not going to talk about every dish I got and wax poetic one by one. I don't have time for that, and if you've been to one Dim Sum place, then you've been to all of them. I will give a few shoutouts for the sake populating this review with important keywords. Char Siu Bao bun / Baked BBQ Pork bun ; this is my favorite dish and precisely the reason why I came in. The bread is so light and the pork filling is so delicious sweet and savory. I'm in heaven Chicken Feet ; actually, I will note that the chicken feet here are not as flavorful as other places I've been to. This is a small nitpick because it still firmly lands in the delicious spectrum. It's the difference between scoring an A and an A- Random Pork Bun ; ??? I cannot find it on the menu, but I chose a set of 3 buns that were filled with pork. The bun style was closely similar to the chewy glutinous sesame balls and they were filled more yummy pork. I've never eaten these before. Shiu Mai ; holy sh** these are the biggest Shiu Mai I've ever eaten. I had an awesome experience here and I recommend it anyone in the area to give this place a shot if they don't want to drive all the way to Malden/Watertown/Boston/Quincy.

Typically, you are quickly seated with the server checking in immediately and providing hot tea for the table. This is based on 3 recent visits, and weighted by the last visit which was a disappointment. The neon lights outside beckon you to come in. It's a brightly lit dining room with round tables typical a large Dim Sum restaurant in Boston. Perhaps a little too bright, but there is typically a table available. It offers late dining which is great. The food is certainly very good typically with good sized portions at a good value. The pan friend dumplings a large, tender and a great value. The Hunan and Sichuan dishes provide healthy portions. Definitely very good Chinese food for the area. It is typically served quickly and very hot. The service has been mixed. On a not so busy night, we felt ignored. It took a long time to get drinks (arriving with the food in one case) on one occasion.

The salt & pepper lobster was crispy on the outside and meat was delicious. I could've sat there all day eating it. The bbq pork buns had a little sticky glaze on top and the bun was so soft. The bbq pork filling had sweetness to it. The pineapple custard bun was a great dessert item to finish off a wonderful meal here.

I always laugh a little when I read reviews saying, "This isn't the best dim sum in Greater…read moreBoston." You're right. It's also not in Chinatown, where parking is an Olympic sport. And it's not in Quincy or Malden either. Sometimes convenience matters. That's exactly why Joyful Garden has become my family's go-to. If you're coming for dim sum, weekends are absolutely the time to go. You'll get the biggest selection, everything comes out piping hot, and the carts are flying around the restaurant. The tradeoff? It is BUSY. Don't show up starving. Show up with friends, accept that you'll probably have a wait, grab the electronic buzzer, and spend some time chatting while wandering around the strip mall. (Yes, you'll probably end up standing near the vape shop. It's all part of the experience.) The ambiance is classic Cantonese restaurant: big round tables, banquet energy, families everywhere, and enough space for everything from dim sum to celebrations. I've been here for birthdays, baby one-month celebrations, weddings, banquets, and casual meals with a friend. There's also a bar area where you might find people watching Jeopardy or whatever else happens to be on, which honestly adds to the charm. The two biggest reasons we keep coming back are surprisingly unglamorous: 1. Parking. 2. Prices. The parking is fantastic. Front lot, back lot...it's in a strip mall, so you don't have to circle for twenty minutes hoping someone leaves. The prices deserve their own paragraph. ::IT'S STORYTIME:: My parents are from Guangdong and Hong Kong, and they are, without question, the most price-conscious people I know. They track grocery prices like they're following the stock market. They debate whether shrimp is worth ordering because it's gotten too expensive. AND despite living near Flushing, New York, every single time they come to visit me, they insist on going to Joyful Garden at least once because they cannot get over how reasonable the prices are. When there were rumors that businesses in Arsenal Yards might have to relocate, they were genuinely worried about Joyful Garden. That, more than anything, tells you what they think of the place. The Cantonese entrees are solid too. My family's favorites include the clay pot dishes, while I keep coming back for Buddha's Delight, Poached House Chicken, and the braised E-fu noodles with mushrooms. One last thing: I sometimes see reviews saying the dim sum isn't as good as Toronto or Vancouver. Well...yes. Neither is most dim sum in the United States. I think it's more useful to judge Joyful Garden for what it is: an affordable, dependable neighborhood Cantonese restaurant with good dim sum, plentiful parking, and prices that somehow still make my Cantonese parents happy. And trust me, that last part is a remarkably high bar.
