I've had my eye on this spot since they first opened as I love Filipino pastries and baked goods…read moreand knowing I don't have to go all the way to Red Ribbon is nice. When we entered on a Thursday afternoon, we were welcomed by two different female employees. We looked around and they still had a good amount of stock left for their baked goods, hot foods, and other snacks. Inside is definitely dim and very quiet, no music or TV playing to give it any ambiance. The staff seem friendly but also didn't really offer the most welcoming or warm presence that you would typically find in a Filipino establishment. The prices here seem fair and affordable, which was great as we were looking for a snack to hold us over until we had lunch. We ordered a pork siopao, chicken siopao, and an order of their pork shumai. Unfortunately, I don't think the cashier heard my boyfriend as we only got the pork siopao but he was to tired to correct her. She did try to sell us on turon a few times but my boyfriend isn't a fan of turon (I don't know why this is but he is Filipino and just tells me that he isn't a fan of a lot of Filipino desserts). We got in the car to eat our food. Our dogs were with us and were enticed by the smell as well, so that's a good sign as we complimented the smell too. I wish the food was kept just a bit hotter, but that's my minor gripe as I just don't like lukewarm foods. Now I will admit that the shumai is decent, but the sauce that comes with it is the star of the show. It has some spice while having this tangy umami kick that brought out the flavors of not only the shumai but also the siopao. My boyfriend and I were really impressed and tempted to go order more but we will definitely be back to get more of the hot foods and try some of the baked goods.

Joy Joy's / Pinoy Bakery was the first stop on the Lakewood 3.0 road trip (10/19/24)…read more Fascinating indie shop where it's a bakeshop but has some snacks, pantry items, beverages, and even sacks of rice. There's also time zone decor and abundant free religious periodicals by the entrance. I'm FilAm and enjoyed home baked goods and specialties from the greater Puget Sound area, California, and Hawaii. I purchased a custard filled malasada...The Homie ate it later. I don't know how old it was from the pastry case, kind of soaked through the paper bag. CC requested a fresh one and piped upon order. It's a mystery on how to compare the two. I bought a pack of Strawberry Twists. It is definitely not to equate with true danish dough. If you'd had ube rolls, it's that kind of sweet dough with strawberry filling. The bag of round pan de sal I found to be the most authentic with regards to the squish factor and inner crumb. I split one when I arrived home and drizzled some condensed milk. Just needed kapé for merienda. It made me think of my late father's pan de sal, which was a pleasant food flashback. Joy Joy's does the job in the local area. I just prefer other locations. 3.5 rounded to a 4.

Asked the boy working if the pastries were made fresh daily and he said YES! after having a bite of the Jam in bun, it tasted hard, stale & few days old!!! Also customer service SUCKED, tried making small talks with the gentleman there and he didn't seemed interested at all, he was the only person behind the counter and seems as if he didn't wanna be there and looked irritated with who knows what! Definitely not going back there as we drove 49min away to see what the hype was about, unless we were just there on the wrong day!! Steven & Sons, DO BETTER!!
