Foul water (dish soap) asked for pot sticker pan fried, they came boiled. Chef Taos chicken almost not edible. Yes, I am spoiled on great Chinese food, and rarely it in UT - this is why. Sorry read more

We decided to try this spot out finally. It's off the main street and doesn't look like it is much from the outside so it's easily missed unless you know to go. We usually go to another fave spot down the road but I am determined to give every spot a chance in the neighborhood. The outside may be deceiving but it's very spacious and welcoming on the inside. The hostess sat us right away and we were greeted by our server Bryan within a few moments. The menu has a lot of different options that I haven't seen anywhere else so it took me a while to decide. I finally chose the mango chicken and the fiance got the salted boneless spare ribs. We ordered the cream cheese wontons to start and they came out within minutes. I enjoyed the dish and it was perfect to cut the hunger while we waited for the main course. I liked the sweet and sour sauce it came with--it was deep red and sweet and reminded me of the sauce they served in NY. I was really pleasantly surprised by flavor of the chicken. The sauce was sweet but not too sweet and really complementary to the savory of the chicken. The chicken itself was cooked well and breaded just enough. Add the fresh mango slices and it was just a delicious dish packed with flavor. If you don't like sweet this isn't for you but I loved it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, my fiance got the salted spare ribs that came with sliced jalapeños and red pepper flakes. I wouldn't touch that dish with a 10ft pole lol. I wouldn't be able to handle a sample of the flavors of that dish (nevermind that I don't eat beef). But he absolutely loved it. So if you like spice he definitely recommends the dish. Service was great and everyone in the place was friendly. We will definitely be back and I look forward to sampling other dishes off the menu. read more

Really good!! Someone sent us dinner from Joy Luck and I was really impressed. The cream cheese won tons were bomb. I always get those when I eat Chinese food and these were definitely some of the better ones I've had. The fried rice and sesame chicken were also really good. Will be going back! read more

We ordered for pickup: orange chicken, chicken sa te, Mongolian beef, Singapore noodles in the family meal special with ham fried rice, soup, and apps. Everything was kinda meh and not worth the calories. Probably will not be ordering from here again. The lady taking the order was very nice though read more

I had a work banquet here last month. I thought everything about the place was gross. The chairs in the rim we were in were half broken. There was no decor or sunshine in there. It felt like a bar out of the 70's. The food was so bland and not cooked well. They brought out family platters of a few dishes. Fried rice felt dry and flavor less, chicken was rubbery. Someone said that the shrimp would be good, but I couldn't eat more than a bite. It was covered in gelatinous sauce that didn't taste like anything. I've heard the food is much better when it's not for a banquet, but have no desire to find out. read more

I worked over in the area and decided to try it out, I was very impressed and now I go all the time. It's one of my favorite Chinese food places in Utah. The staff are super friendly and the food comes out pretty fast. I found this place before I met my wife, and when I first mentioned it to her she was surprised I knew about it. Joy Luck has always been her favorite restaurant. read more

It's our favorite sit down restaurant. Nice service and good food. Priced well and good variety of dishes

I am so glad I found this place! They're food is high quality and comes in large quantities (what more could you want?). We did a takeout order and had to wait a bit longer than we thought but it was well worth the wait. The only thing I was less satisfied with was the orange chicken (the flavor just felt a little off). They prepared our order correctly and I look forward to coming here again! read more

Joy Luck - a table full of food and drinks - Chinese Near Me - Woods Cross, Utah

I enjoyed how easy it was to share dishes with my friends with the table lazy Susans. We were able to rotate dishes and share a little of each dish with another. read more

I was hungry and my friend happen to move to the neighborhood, so we decided to drop by and give it a try. The waiter or whoever was assisting us was super friendly. He seems to know most of the guest and made great suggestions. The eggplant with beef is authentic. It comes with lots of vegetables. If you like eggplant, you should give it a try. The baked black pepper & salt pork is a must! It's boneless, crispy pork tenders but not greasy. I will definitely come back for the pork! The interior of this location is unique, full of Asian empire vibe. I was told that there are more variety dishes, such as roast duck at the Sandy location. read more

I absolutely loved the snow pea dish. So many veggies and the sauce was just right. The lunch menu has great prices that come with soup/salad, fried rice, and an egg roll or cream cheese puffs. It was busy when I was there but the staff worked so fast to get us our food in a timely manner. I will definitely be back. read more

Tons of gluten-free options! Unfortunate that none of the options are listed online, but their in-person menu has all of the ones naturally GF labeled, and they can make many of their other options GF upon request. Of not, none of the appetizers were marked GF but I bet you can ask to have some of them modified. I got the teriyaki chicken with white rice and a side of chicken fried rice, it's enough for like 5 meals, and I didn't get sick! Staff was very friendly as well. Will definitely be coming back. read more

We dined in here several times. and found the food and service to be excellent. A very enjoyable experience. We tried the Mandarin this week and were very dissapointed. Joy Luck food is much better. read more

Joy Luck has the best General Tso's Chicken, and Ham Fried Rice. There service is always so fast, and efficient. I haven't tried something from Joy luck that I didn't like. I love that it is a family owned restaurant, it really makes it feel like a home cooked meal! It is also very affordable. read more

Best Chinese food I have had in a long time and I hope to return soon. My family was visiting friends in Bountiful and when it came time to eat they recommended Joy Luck. We choose carry out mostly because we were so tired after a long day of working outside. We ordered many different items and they were all excellent. My recommendations are: General Tsao Chicken, excellent Seaseme Chicken, excellent Orange Chicken, while actually not my favorite it was still really good. Cashew Chicken, really good Walnut Shrimp, excellent Beef and Broccoli, really good Kung Pao Chicken, excellent Salt Baken Spare Ribs, excellent Veg Lo Mein, I didn't try this, but my family loved it. Ham Fried Rice, well, it's ham fried rice. Egg Drop Shop, excellent Pot Stickers, excellent Cheese Wontons, really good. Great menu for those needing gluten free as they have many items. read more

We have been going here for years! The food is always great and the service always on point. The only downside side of this place is the fried rice is the ham is thin slices, reminiscent of lunch meat, and under seasoned. And the hot and sour soup is pretty egg-y which makes it a little chewey. But! All the main dishes are great, and the pot stickers are to die for! Go say hi to the giant fish in the lobby! read more

One quart og won ton soup--meh broth 50-60% of the quart and 1 shrimp a few soggy (unfilled) won ton's.

Excellent food, who would have thought this restaurant that is tucked away on an obscure street in Bountiful would be such a gem! Extremely friendly owner and staff. The food is FRESH. I ordered the Wonton soup which is almost a meal in itself with pork, chicken, shrimp and fresh cut vegetables. The Fried Rice is packed with egg, onion, snow peas, mushrooms, and zucchini. General Tsao Chicken has fresh batter and wasn't oily, the sauce was plenty. I highly recommend! read more

My husband has been going here since he was a teenager. Some of his friends have worked here as well. The service is always great! We usually have Brian as our server. The owner is always pleasant and welcoming also. Good items to order : Lettuce wrap starter Tangerine chicken Mango chicken The shrimp and broccoli in garlic sauce The veggie and chicken noodles Basically everything here is good, just depends on your taste. They've been open through covid. At this time they are seating customers with a bit of space between each table. It is family friendly, we have had big groups with lots of kids. It's kind of our go-to for a nicer family dinner out. Lunch is cheaper but still great portion sizes. Thank you for the continued excellent service!! read more

I came in for a Saturday lunch, to a moderately busy restaurant. I picked the "General T'sao Chicken" lunch special: egg roll, egg drop soup, the chicken, and ham fried rice. Most reviews of it were positive. A note: "General Tso's Chicken" (or "T'sao," in this case) is a dish that I willingly order across the U.S. Its ubiquitous nature allows for an interesting case study of how Americanized Chinese food is presented at different locales. Joy Luck's version was very basic/average. Battered and fried chicken, sauce, commercially minced garlic, and red pepper bits. But, I've sampled variations with broccoli (great), scallions (interesting), freshly minced garlic (always welcomed), and/or sesame seeds (sure). In this meal, a personal touch was definitely missing. Other accompanying items were forgettable, as well: the soup more liquid than egg and fried rice bland. I can't even recall what the egg roll filling was. Service, however, was prompt, attentive, and professional. In the end, my meal didn't cost much, but I would've been glad to pay more for higher quality food. read more

The service was great. The food, not so much. My wife ordered orange chicken and the chicken was so stringy she couldn't eat it. I tried eating a piece and had to spit it out. I had the pepper chicken and it was better, but not great. We had eaten there before and had a better experience. I don't think will ever eat there again. read more

I attended a luncheon at this restaurant with my family after my uncle's funeral. I don't live in UT but all of my cousins who live in the area told me that I was going to really like this place. It's fairly well known in the family that I'm severely addicted to Asian food and they know that I have a higher standard. Since the menu was preselected for the event, I didn't get to order the specific dishes that I usually get when I try a new spot but everything I was served was great. I don't have a bad thing to say about any of it. I actually plan to come back with my wife next time I'm in town and explore that menu a bit further. The service was friendly and great and I always prefer an old school Chinese place that feels like it's been around for awhile and knows what they're doing. I have had so few good meals in shiny, bistro-looking new Chinese restaurants that the number of good ones is hard to calculate from a statistical perspective. This place is a classic read more

This restaurant is operated by an amazing owner and staff. Our family has dined her for as long as i can remember and a sense of Pride and good quality goes in to every dish. We always have a great experience, Hat is off to the chef and wonderful recipes. Update May 2019: STILL LOVE THIS PLACE! Always delightful food and amazing service. read more

Eric - the owner of Joy Luck is the finest restaurant owner in Bountiful. I've been going to Joy Luck since I was a kid and have always felt like this place represents some of the great food that the city of Bountiful has to offer. Great food, great service and one of the best lunch specials around. read more

I've tried at least 3 times. This is by far the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I mean, I can't even call it Chinese. Don't do it!

This is that restaurant you go to with friends, and when someone asks "what's good here?", the entire group shouts back "EVERYTHING!" This restaurant became one of our family's favorites several years ago. We started coming because, as others have noted, their care and selection when it comes to gluten free cooking is unprecedented. We come back, however, because the people who work there are always kind and professional, and the food is always great. We've been here for quick meal, a family dinners, and used them for catering and don't have a single complaint. Make sure to go, and make sure to try the lemon, orange, or mango sauce. The flavor is out of this world! P.S. Also, make sure to say hi to Bubba the fish in the waiting area. He can be pretty social and loves to greet people as they come in the door! read more

My wife and i have eaten here and gotten take out a number of times! Always a great meal and great service!! The ham fried rice, egg drop soup and orange chicken are the best i have had! Also the wontons are amazing!! read more

Very good service and Chinese food. Although it might have its off days, it deserves a five stars for what it accomplishes on it's good days. The staff is always friendly and prompt. The house salad is very good, and affordable. Great food, would recommend to a friend. Tip: you can substitute almost any sauce with any dish, you just need to ask read more

Great family owned Chinese food! Moved to town recently, and have been there a dozen times in the last few months!

One of the only places for Chinese food on Sunday. Fast, decently affordable and standard Chinese fare.

We came here for the first time and it was so delicious! The outside looks like it's not much and then you walk in and it's very pretty, presentable and fancy looking! For someone that never tried it and I actually heard two different opinions of the food, I liked it a lot. Excited to go back and get what I ordered last time or even try something new. read more

So delicious! I loved the tangerine chicken but the best was dipping the cheese wontons in the egg drop soup as suggested by my server Landon! read more

Loved the food, I will be making this a regular lunch place. I had the Orange Chicken and it had a great flavor. It wasn't spicy at all, I will be trying other dishes but will order this again. read more

The Orange Chicken is closer to sweet and sour chicken than it is to your typical orange chicken. The meat itself was good quality, lean white meat. There is no spice at all to this dish. read more

Great Chinese food. The entrees have been hit and miss. The cashew chicken was great. The rice has been hit and miss as well, sometimes overcooked. read more

My favorite restaurant when I come back home. I used to come here everyday for lunch when I was in high school. The prices are unbeatable for the quality. My favorite is the tangerine chicken. I have yet to find a replacement back in California. All of their other food is also delicious. The orange chicken is different from most orange chickens it's pretty sweet, but actually has an orange peel taste. The strawberry chicken is also something I have never seen and it is also very good. The staff here is also very friendly. If you are looking for a good Chinese American restaurant I definitely recommend coming here you won't be disappointed. read more

Not the worst Chinese food I've had but far from the best. The chicken was pretty rubbery, the sauces and seasonings were underwhelming (especially the veggie dishes), and the Ham Fried Rice was very bland with no 'Fried' flavor. read more

Greatest Chinese food place around here. You get a lot of food for your money or you can just order a la carte as well. Won't go anywhere else around here, their hot and sour soup and asparagus chicken are my favorites! read more

We ordered for the first time tonight due to a power outage. We weren't able to cook and didn't feel like driving to The Mandarin for pick up. Our review is we were fairly impressed! Delivery was quick and the food cake greasy and warm! On the down side... ordering from yelp on grub hub they had no allergen information. I am Gluten intolerant and now in pain. Allergens would be nice to have listed, however we are also pretty sure this issue is due to ordering via an app and not in person. The Walnut shrimp was really good but didn't need to be fried. The Pad Thai we were super impressed with! It had a great flavor and shrimp and chicken - yum! The Lettuce wraps needed some love. They had corn, celery and zucchini in them which was interesting. The sauce with the lettuce wraps had us wondering shouldn't there be more to this? Typically lettuce wraps have a thick plum type sauce and this was soy sauce so that was sad. If they got rid of the corn and had a better sauce the wraps would have also been good. All this being said... I'd rather order delivery from Joy Luck than pick up at Manadrin. We will give them another try and hope for better! read more

I've been going to Joy Luck since High School and I love the place! Eric (the owner) still maintains a friendly relationship with me and hundreds of other students who still come to Joy Luck, because of the great food and service. You can't go wrong with the General Tsao or Tangerine Chicken! read more
