    Amazing! I was impressed with how nutritious and delicious these meals were. My favorite was the beef kabobs :) highly recommend for health conscious people

    Healthy food with flavor and delivered to my house! Where have you been all my life? Many options to choose from and the menu changes weekly. You can even make your own customized plate. This was my first time ordering and Alice provided superior customer service from the minute I ordered online until she delivered my food in a cooler. Already made my second order.

    Chicken Potstickers

    Chicken Potstickers | 16 pan fried mini cilantro and chicken potstickers served on a bed of grilled carrots and romaine, regular or spicy sesame oil dipping sauce on the side, and an optional side salad. Food of Joy is located in the same plaza as my job and I love the convenience of being able to text my order before 10:30 AM (to get a 10% discount) and having it ready for pick-up by 12 PM. The chicken potstickers are the third item I've ordered on the menu. I love how it is an overall light meal with the sesame oil perfectly complementing the flavor of the potstickers; and, I get even more full when I order it with the side salad which is just tomato, cucumber, and seasonal greens.

    Just one word. WOW. I live in the same neighborhood as the owner of Food of Joy and received a flier supporting her community offering food plans and meals. Having never tried anything like it before (connoisseur of delivery food, not so much family meals planned to be healthy), I decided to give it a shot. Now, I have a daughter who's almost two and is very picky with what she'll eat. I reached out to the owner asking if they had a kids menu for their plans, to which they replied they would talk to their chef about it. WITHIN TWO HOURS I got a response that they had catered to what my daughter would eat and designed an entire menu around it! Like, who does that? Given everything that's going on, I get restaurants and food services going above and beyond to hold their customer base, but this was a whole new level. Food was amazing. Fantastic. As someone who's not the best at not giving into fatty cravings, this was the best healthy food I've ever had. It honestly is a game changer in my long-term goal to be healthier. Thank you, Food of Joy. Not just for the food, but for everything you're doing in these trying times. I ten thousand percent plan on ordering again, probably every week for my family. EDIT: The included photo was just my portion of the food. It's an incredible value for what they're charging. Even after feeding my family, I'm going to have leftovers for the next two days, and I can promise I'll feel fantastic health-wise because of it. Thanks for keeping my McDonalds bill low, Food of Joy!

    Flatbread sandwich with veggie burger added!

    Brand new cafe serving HEALTHY vegan & non-vegan options!!! ATTN non-vegans: I know you would've stopped at the first sentence, but if it's delicious without meat, I assure you it's probably going to taste even better with it. I've worked in this building since January and have long awaited the opening of this cafe. Let me tell you...it was definitely worth it! I've had their Thai Time lunch entree and the a la carte flatbread sandwich with an added veggie burger. BOTH DELICIOUS!!! The first time I tried Food of Joy, I ordered tofu on the Thai Time which has soba noodles and a bunch of yummy veggies on top. It comes with peanut sauce and a sesame vinaigrette to pour over. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Although the meal itself sounds light, the portion was huge! I was actually happy I couldn't finish it because I had the best left overs later on that night. As for the flatbread sandwich, I added a veggie burger on top of the vegan spread, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and a whole gang of other veggies they got back in the kitchen. Again, portions here are HUGE! They bake the flatbread on site everyday. It's thin and chewy-everything you could want in a healthy whole grain flatbread! Alice & Mike are so kind and know how to treat your tum! It was all so good I had to write a Yelp review to get them started on here! Eat at Food of Joy. Do it!

    Thai basil air-fried tofu with roasted cauliflower and brussell sprouts.

    Delicious and healthy food, tons of options each week, all customizable. No subscription required! Loads of yummy, still-crunchy veggies in each meal. Lots of vegan options, too. I have been getting 4 or 5 chilled meals delivered each week for the past month or two, and I have not been disappointed yet. I also love that the containers are sustainable & compostable - that is so hard to find with food delivery services! Owner Alice is very friendly and communicative. This is definitely a small, local business to support!!

    Hi Kelly, Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry it took so long to answer your question. We've been going through a lot of turmoils. We now provide catering to businesses and events. Our daily meal delivery service will be launched soon. Best, Alice

    Are they still open in Oct/Nov or did they shut down?

Plus, they're local and use local farmers. So, that's a plus. 1 minor thing is just I wish I could select what meals I wanted in my subscription instead of chef's choice, because I personally just WISH I could order some meals more than once because of how delicious they were.

They assured me this would be fixed immediately and have nothing to worry about. But they didn't. Called them again, same thing. So I had to email them multiple times until they finally fixed it. After this I decided to cancel my subscription as a whole, where I was assured I wouldn't be charged again, but I was still charged. I reached out to the owner and he was pretty hostile. See attached images.. They also claim their meals are GF but I'm pretty sure we found gluten in one of them.m Update for everyone: Jeff is lying. I had contacted him multiple times and he kept forgetting. He is very disorganized and hostile when you message him. Also Jeff, I had frozen the meals buddy.. Then I spoke with health officials first, and then contacted you once we had a case. I'm not sure what's going on in your personal life but I've never seen a business owner get so angry over a customer trying to cancel their subscription.

There is no way I would be able to craft this quality together in a meal. The options are plentiful, nor overwhelming. Catering to vegans, vegetarians, paleo and meatarian - that don't mind splurging on a little of all worlds. The ingredients are all listed, simple and so delicious! Simple process of refrigerating then enjoying them within 5-days - easily done by cooking in the microwave - wa-lah - 10 minutes - enjoy! You can select from a small or large portion. Smalls are perfect for achieving just what my appetite desires, while my husband has the large portion which can feed up to 2 people - I call these "hearty" portions! The value cannot be beat either - compared to the time it would take, cost of ingredients from health food markets is no match! Look forward to continuing their service in 2025 and beyond! Happy Holidays~

    **July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more During my SDCC weekend, I walked by Michaela's Meals in the Gaslamp Quarter, which was right between my hotel and the convention center. This shop was just one street down from Ralphs and Vitality Tap so it was conveniently located. On Sunday afternoon, I noticed the space was open for business, so I popped in to check it out. It's a small spot with a staff member, a fridge full of pre-made meals, a little bar area with two stools, a cold water pitcher, and a microwave. The main business model is a weekly subscription, but I learned that the owner also keeps leftovers in the fridge for grab-and-go customers on Wednesdays and Sundays from 1:30-5 p.m. They also run a "buy 4 get 1 free" and "buy 8 get 2 free" promotion, which makes the meals an even better value. I assumed she makes an abundance and sells those for $10 a meal, but since I stopped by close to closing, I got mine for $5 each. I grabbed two to try because the meals looked very nutrition-focused and considering I ate basically garbage throughout Comic Con it was a smart choice to fuel up with real food. I tried a Mediterranean chicken over yellow rice and zucchini, as well as a ground hamburger-style sloppy joe-type meal. The food definitely leans healthy, and considering how inconvenient it is to eat well at SDCC, this was a great find. Since she has Wednesday and Sunday pickups, I'm now contemplating doing a preview-night (Wednesday) pickup for a couple of meals on my next visit. I'll be in touch with Michaela's for future San Diego trips.
