The chicken had just the right amount of spice where you noticed it but it didn't overpower the food. A co-worker had the Pad Thai and it looked delicious as well. There is an extensive menu and if I lived near there I'd be trying something different on a regular basis. As for the ambiance, it's a small little restaurant in a strip mall where you will overlook it if you don't know what you're looking for. Not much parking but it wasn't overly busy either. Nothing fancy here but it was clean and with how good the food is, it doesn't need to be fancy. The service was what you would expect. The waitress checked on us regularly and was friendly.

Visited Paradise Cafe recently and had a mixed experience. The space itself feels a bit dated and…read morequite heavy... the lighting is very dark, and even moving the dining chairs felt a bit difficult. A lighter, refreshed atmosphere would go a long way. I ended up ordering a few appetizers. The Hot & Sour Soup was the standout... flavorful, comforting, and easily a 5/5 on a cold n wet day. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. The shrimp rolls were below average... mostly lettuce, the shrimps were dried out, and they took about 10 extra minutes to come out. The crab rangoon was the biggest disappointment; the filling had an unpleasant smell and tasted like heavy, clotted cream cheese and there wasn't even an iota of imitation crab meat to justify that name. My friends ordered egg rolls, which actually looked pretty good (I'd say a solid 4/5), and Singapore noodles, which unfortunately looked underwhelming. Overall, there are a few bright spots, especially the soup, but the food quality and atmosphere were inconsistent. With some updates and more attention to freshness and flavor, this place could really improve.

He was attentive and kind. We enjoyed the lovers plate. Basically, an appetizer sampler. Everything on the plate was perfectly fried. The flavors were good. The Singapore noodles were not what I am used to. Ordinarily it's a green curry, there was no taste of curry. The shrimp were cooked well and it was served with a hot sauce on the plate. It wasn't bad, just not as expected. My dining partner had the paradise fish. A fried filet of fish with vegetables and a sweet sauce. She really enjoyed the meal. All in all, a good experience. We will go back and I plan to try the pho on our next trip.

Consistently good food, consistently fresh. It is fast-casual Chinese food - a good place to get take out or delivery. They also have plenty of seating, since the building used to be a fast food restaurant before it became a Chinese restaurant. The seating is just the old seating that used to be there before. Not fancy, but a good place to bring family/kids, or just meet up with someone for a casual lunch. There is a $12 minimum order for delivery. For take-out you can call ahead and place your order and then just pick it up. I usually don't call ahead. I usually just order when I get there, and wait. The wait is never very long. 10 minutes max to get my food. Whatever happened to the tall blonde guy who used to work there? I think his name was Chris something? Nice guy... read more

Luckily there are many Chinese, Thai, etc. places where one can find plenty of tofu-veggie options without too many questions (do the spring roll wrappers have egg? Can we get rice noodles with no egg? You plant-based diners know the drill). Joy Food is one such place. Recommend for takeout. Good food. Low prices. I have notes. We ordered veggie spring rolls (made in China, not on site) which were as expected - mid. But the General Tso's and Hunan tofu dishes were excellent. General was a little sweet for our tastes but we combined it with the Hunan as leftovers and it was balanced. We ordered a noodle-with-vegetable dish which may or may not have been on the menu (after a phone convo regarding egg content) and it was not as good. Lesson learned: leave it to the experts. Friendly, solicitous Asian woman spent time with me on the phone parsing the dishes. One can totally order online but the first time I eat somewhere I like to make sure we only get vegan food (lest we suffer the consequences of gastric distress ). We ordered ahead and food was ready in 25 minutes. As the nice lady packed it up, she snatched back the fortune cookies, saying better safe than sorry - she understood the assignment . In a world where vegans are vilified, it's nice to have someone looking out for us. A word about the ambiance: the small dining area had about 4 tables covered in layers of plastic tablecloths in various states of decay. Did not appear to be the cleanest dining room, and an old friend who was a city health inspector in another state always looked askance at Chinese restaurants, saying they tended to be less than sanitary. Ray Crock famously said to his employees "if you've got time to lean you've got time to clean." Our staffer was busy chatting animatedly with the friendly patrons at the one occupied table, and I doubt she'd heard from or even of the McDonald's founder. I'd still order from Joy Food again. I hope you will give it a try.
