Joy Garden Chinese Restaurant

I stopped in for a quick bite so I don’t have much to say other than this is pretty much your average run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. If you don’t have the highest expectations you will enjoy whatever you order! Very nice ladies work inside and the chefs work fast 🏃🏽‍♂️💨 Most importantly... the food is decent

Been coming here for years. Food is decent and the staff who rings me out is always nice. Decently priced as well. I always get General Tso's chicken or the Sesame chicken.

I've been coming to Joy Garden for decades now - living right around the corner and moving in to my childhood home has allowed me to share with my family some of the restaurants that I've always loved. Joy Garden was always a reminder of the way Chinese Food should be. I've traveled a lot over the years and I always find myself comparing other restaurants to this place. No one has been able to live up to them. With that being said, I've noticed a definite down-turn in quality in the past few years. This restaurant has been run by the same family for several decades - I always recognize the woman who I've seen for years, who is always a joy to speak with, and I've even now met her son taking orders, which is always a pleasure to see the family continuing the tradition of their hard-worked business! I believe that the economy has caused an uptick in cost; however, the increase combined with a lower-than-expected quality has been a sad disappointment. The restaurant is in dire need of revamping, and I would normally be able to look past this for quality food, but I'm left lacking from what they used to be. Perhaps changes in food regulations have contributed to recent changes, possibly Covid issues have affected the way things are done... this restaurant still offers "steamed chicken dumplings," which are near-impossible to find elsewhere... but things simply aren't the same. I couldn't imagine finding another place to satisfy my needs, but rising prices, lack of transparency regarding pricing and an overall change of food-quality, I cannot in good conscience rate them as highly as my nostalgia would wish. I wish these folks the best and hope for better days. I will still continue to patronage this establishment but hope they find a way to bring things back to their golden age so that generations more can enjoy the quality that I had come to rely on. Please do continue to support these wonderful people, as they are truly great what they do!

I love this place my food is always fresh hot and cooked correctly

Ordered a quart of beef lo mein and had 3 slices of beef about 1/4 inch if that in it the rest was dry noodles. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
