    I liked the good variety of tasty foods, the polite, attentive service and the reasonable price during my off-peak visit. My early weekday lunch buffet ($12.99) included a fruit bar, a salad bar, a hibachi grill, pho, a seafood bar with sushi, sashimi, kimchi and shrimp, a fair selection of Chinese favorites, a roast beef carvery, fried foods (including fried chicken) and desserts. The foods were at appropriate temperatures, but the labeling was spotty. I noticed two dining areas and seating around the buffet area. They also offered a bar, but they had not yet received their liquor license. Very nice!

    *New Location Alert* Today we finally decided to come try out the new Joy Wok location! When we first got here I immediately noticed it was very spacious, very clean but relatively packed. It took us about 10-15 minutes to be seated just based on the fact that it was only one person available for seating us. After being seated we had to wait an additional 20 minutes just to get water at the table. The servers were scarce so it was alot going on. All in all, the food was good & the space was clean, so I would come back.

    Crab doesn't have much flavor but all the other options are very tasty. Place is clean, great service from staff.

    On the other side, the buffet area was extremely clean and the hibachi, and sushi stations were well kept.

    A group of us dropped in, and honestly, the vibes started out strong. The hostess was actually…read morepleasant and the place looked clean--which, in this city, is usually a win. Then we sat down at the teppanyaki table, and things went south faster than a dropped egg. Our server was solid, but the "chef" was a total trainwreck. It felt like we were an inconvenience to his schedule. He just rushed through the motions with zero engagement, like he was checking off a grocery list instead of actually cooking for people. The "Highlights" (and I use that term loosely): The Timing: I ordered the steak and scallops. He finished my steak before the rice even hit the grill. My cow just sat there getting cold while we watched him "work." The Culinary Wisdom: When one of us asked if the beef was a strip or a ribeye, he literally just said, "It's steak." Cool. Glad we cleared that up. The Cross-Contamination Special: We had a vegetarian in the group. He proceeded to cook her tofu directly in the steak juice. Truly a "chef's kiss" moment if you hate your customers. The Doneness (or lack thereof): The salmon was basically still swimming (raw), and the scallops were charred and tasted like fire and brimstone. The Mussels: I grabbed a side of green mussels. They were... fine? I've had much better elsewhere in town, but they were the Olympic gold medalists of my meal by default. The Silver Lining? The Sake. It came in a take-home glass, was incredibly easy to drink, and was 100% necessary to get through the rest of the experience. I can't speak for the sushi, but if it's handled with the same "I don't want to be here" energy as the teppanyaki, I'd stay far, far away. Two stars only because the hostess was nice and the Sake did its job.

    Great little hidden jam. It's been here for a long time outstanding service good prices extensive…read moremenu. You can order your sushi or you can order from the hibachi.... Fun ambience.... if it's your birthday, they bring out a cool sparkling candle.

They changed the soft shell crab but it's still delish ! And of course everything on our hibachi was so good and cooked perfect! They do take reservations now which I loved! Our server was nice and attentive! For a Friday at 6pm it wasn't super busy. Not too loud, perfect double date night!

    I could buy some frozen fried rice from costco and coat it with soy sauce and I wouldn't have known…read morethe difference. It bums be out too because at one point I felt the fried rice was one of my favorites, now it is just dry and bland. The teriyaki chicken was good, no complaints there, but I would like to be able to have a bite with just fried rice and not feel like it still needs something. Service was good. Maybe a little pushy on the water refills. It's like they saw us taking pictures and were giving us reviewer treatment. I'm not saying that is the case, but I felt it was forced and awkward regardless. Regarding the insides, there is a small and quiet sushi side, and the loud hibachi inside. It has the kitschy but endearing japanese asian aesthetic and is usually clean and well kept. Salad was sweet and good. Soup was served to us warm, not hot. Drinks were pretty tasty, I prefer their Geisha over the Mai Tai.

    Sushi was amazing last night -- really fresh, you can tell. Got there around 7pm and it wasn't too…read morecrowded (small spot), though they mentioned they were busy and quoted us 30 minutes for food. It actually came out in about 20, which was a nice surprise. Great sake selection, and the waitstaff was incredibly attentive all night. One thing I really appreciated: they organize the menu into cooked vs. uncooked sushi, so if you can't do raw fish you can still easily find plenty to eat -- nice touch for mixed groups. Overall, great value for the money. We'll definitely be back.

    I always look up decent Japanese restaurant when traveling. I am so happy that I found Jun on Yelp…read more Jun has been in business for over 4 decades, still clean still serving authentic Japanese food. The head chef has been with this restaurant over 3 decades, a lot of their staff are long time employees, it tells a lot in times like now. I sat at the sushi bar, chat with the chef, and enjoying decent Chirashi don and my ever go to umeshiso roll. It is not like the best that I had in my life, but it was decent quality with the price tag I was paying. The sashimi cut on the don is thick and fresh. I loved to hear a lot regulars came in and just ordered without looking at menu. This is the place where I would go back again and again and not hesitate to ask what is recommended by the chef and place customize request.
