Chow n Joy

All good but $17 feels like more. But still good sesame chicken. Tastes good

Typical Chinese takeout spot with subpar food. Recently stumbled Upton this place while getting an ice cream nearby. From the outside, it looked okay, but the food overall was below that of standard Chinese takeout joints. The meat dishes, specifically the Spicy Salt & Pepper Pork Chop and Chicken Wings, were quite disappointing. Both appeared to be made from frozen meats, which resulted in a dry and unappetizing texture. The wings were particularly underwhelming, with brittle bones chopped at awkward angles. Its sharp edges and small bone fragments made it challenging to eat, and I ended up throwing out half of it. The rice dishes, the Beef Fried Rice and the House Special Fried Rice, were also mediocre at best. The rice texture in both dishes seemed off, likely due to the use of undercooked frozen rice, and the flavors were lackluster. Thankfully, some of their other protein dishes like the Egg Foo Young Shrimp and Mapo Tofu were decent. The Egg Foo Young, though not particularly fluffy, was somewhat redeemed by a savory Chinese gravy sauce. While Chow N Joy may suffice for a quick, no-frills Chinese meal, I would recommend going to Zoe’s nearby for a more quality Chinese food.

One of the worst places. They got to my house 7 minutes after I hung up so food must just be heated up not fresh and no duck sauce. Duck sauce is a must with Chinese food

We got delivery. Very basic. The Moo Shu tasted of nothing but salt, lots and lots of salt. It looked to be swimming in soy sauce. The Pad Thai tasted very bad and smelled of sick. Not edible. Very expensive trash in the end. Called and after having Pan Thai explained to me even tho I've eaten for years, and said as much, was offered a credit, which is useless to me or more food. Big NO THANKS. I could not get any money refunded. I did thro it away, and later they did offer to come get it, my bad I know, but I couldn't stand the smell. I don't call often. But then again, I don't spit food into my napkin often either. STAY AWAY. Stay far far away.

If you want a quick bite then its a good restuarant to order from. I give the quality of food and presentation an average score. They make the food pretty quick and have a good and attentive staff. There is good parking space near the restaurant . Chow and joy is located along somerville Avenue and its in same lot as
