I hate giving small businesses 1 star reviews, but Joy Wok is a cesspool of food borne illnesses just waiting to happen. I'm shocked by how highly rated and highly recommended this place is. The crab legs are the only thing that was edible. Majority of the chicken they served was undercooked and very pink inside. I had to cut into every bite of chicken to make sure it was cooked before I ate, and I shouldn't have to do that. The sushi bar was also another great thing to eat if you're looking to get food poisoning. It had all been sitting out for far too long. We took one bite and almost threw up from how bad the fish had gotten. The restaurant itself was decently clean for the amount of people they had coming in, besides the bathrooms. The women's restroom had pee all over the floor and most of the stalls didn't lock. The men's restroom had all their toilets clogged and poop on the floor. While my husband used the bathroom, several people ran in to vomit. That should have been our warning to leave. 30 minutes after getting home, we are both having horrible diarrhea and vomiting. We essentially paid $65 to make ourselves sick. Do not go here unless you want to get sick. read more

Fresh and hot. Good selection of mainstream dishes . The sushi was fresh and pho was fantastic. Hibachi had lots of options. Flaky fish, and lots of desert options. Only downside was it was super busy and they were short staffed but everywhere is these days. Show grace to those working and be be patient, they are trying. read more

Paid $29 each for six people on my daughters 16th birthday. The crab was over cooked and difficult to extract meat from the shell. We sat down to a dirty table. After the server wiped it, we re-wiped and our napkins were yellow. The server was rubbing a dirty rag over a dirty table... No choice but to pay crab night price but only one person ate crab. Everyone shares the same slimy utensils to dish food, it was over crowded, with people running into each other, and there was nothing to clean our hands with. We have been waiting for a long time for the new spot to open. Turns out the new spot isn't much nicer than the last when nobody is keeping it clean. read more

Joy Wok Super Buffet - Sushi and crab - Buffets Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Love the sushi, vegetables and crab. S many choices and you can either healthy, unhealthy, or all points in between and still have a great experience. read more

Place was super busy for lunch after 1 pm. I tried to try a little bit of a lot of different things and everything was fresh and tasty. Sushi was okay. Not great but I don't have high expectations for sushi on a buffet. Couple of highlights were the beef and mushrooms. The mushrooms were whole and the beef was tender and well flavored. The old stand by Generals chicken was tasty but I did add some chili oil to spice it up. Don't miss the fresh egg custard tarts! I would buy them by the dozen to take home. Next time will try the Pho station. Definitely a pleasant surprise for a buffet! Worth it. Will only gripe about labels being in the wrong place on a few items and no labels on the dim sum. read more

Delicious food. Very clean restaurant. Loved all the food options they have to offer service was very friendly and kept removing our plates fast. read more

As a first timer , I walked in the place is huge and very nice , they have many different options to choose from . We arrived just after opening on a Sunday , food was fresh n plentiful . Sushi was fresh and had great options . I do have to admit I was there for the crab legs . It states there are Crab legs on Friday Saturday and Sundays . So I was EXTREMELY disappointed that is for DINNER ONLY . If that's the case I would've been there for dinner . They need to adjust that statement ... ON THIER WEBSITE . I drove 40 minutes to get my crab legs , I will return but I will have my crab legs next time (HOPEFULLY) ******* Another issue I had was servers hovering over you to leave , I stood up and immediately they were on my table to clean it, I got very upset can a customer walk away from the table WHEN THEY ARE READY ?? read more

The restaurant is new and cleaner than previous location, just like when I first went to that location and got worse later. The food is similar, not bad not great, roast beef was dry and well done. I remember the previous joy wok roast beef was juicy and tender. Other food was just ok, fried chicken wings and dumplings are pretty good. Sushi section is much better and larger than before but the sushi rolls and nigiri sushi are ice cold, the rice is hard when temperature is low, I understand why but it affects taste too much, rice also tastes plain just like normal steamed rice. read more

1 star from me because the weekend dinner price is $28.99 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Its more expensive because they put seafood on the buffet (crab legs). Not everyone eats seafood. I think there should be an option for no seafood. Also 1 star for the time when it was a holiday and they had a special buffet that day and no one informed us of the price until we got the check. read more

I'm going to start off, the food itself was fine and the space is definitely more spacious and nicer than the previous. Especially the women's bathroom! *However, if you're wanting the crawfish and crab legs, they only serve them for dinner.* I gave this rating because the customer service we got was so poorly given. I get if a server is having a hard day and if I didn't hear from the server all meal. I also understand there should be a level of understanding from both the server and customer. It isn't "the customer is always right." However, I think it is uncalled for for a server to raise his voice at us over orders of water for our table. Apparently, their policy is that everyone must be present for their drink orders to be taken. This policy was not made known to us. Our table had 2/4 adults since 2 were out getting food. We asked for 5 waters (1 for the child with us) and the waiter was very frustrated and didn't seem to be understanding where we were coming from, raised his voice and then walked away without any conclusion to the argument. My friend was hurt by this action, so a couple of people in our group went up to him, apologized for not knowing the policy but asked if he could apologize for raising his voice and ultimately hurting our friend. He did not say anything about it, nor did he try and apologize. Rather, he just tried to defend his own actions. I was pretty saddened by this since I do have fond memories of eating at Joy wok with friends and was excited for their re-opening. For reference, if you're in a group, please make sure everyone is there to be seated. Make sure everyone is seated to get their drink orders, to have a better experience. read more

I liked them before at their old location. And their new location is absolutely amazing a lot of variety and much fresher.

Me and my family have been a few times and some food had been over cooked and didn't seem very fresh but for the most part it was good! The last time we went the waiter was refilling my water and just poured a lot in to my plate and didn't say anything she just walked away very fast and never came back to our table. read more

love this place ! Sushi is phenomenal! Pho is a little hard to get because the employee wasn't exactly paying attention but otherwise still great! read more

Joy Wok Super Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I just went with my youngest son as he didn't have preschool today and it was better than I thought it would be. The staff was so kind and the new restaurant is very clean and worth the extra price than other Chinese buffets in the area. The sushi was on par with what you get at sushi restaurants and for 12.99 lunch buffet it is well worth it. The quality of all their food was great. read more

The food is good. The hibachi grill is good but sometimes the noodles are too burnt or hard . They need to change the serving spoons frequently bc they get dirty and sticky easily . Other than that it's a good buffet and their sushi is top tier read more

So glad they are finally open. The place is fantastic. The food was very good. Love the sushi bar. Too much to try it all. I guess I'll have to come back. read more

Food selection is great. probsbly one of the best one in town, but its a bit crowded and feels dirty when there's a lot of people. Overall, good food. read more

Very deceptive sign said 16.99 and charged 29 for buffet. Our bill of 65 very surprised we won't be back as we ate very little very poor value for us!!! We didn't see after 4:00 and didn't realize weekend was Friday in small print read more

Extremely overpriced for low-quality food. Ambiance was good, service was mediocre, had to wait 20 minutes just for the bill.

Food is really bland. I tried a handful of chicken dishes and the pork. They put cabbage in the fried rice and it is stuck to many of the plates that are set out as clean. All the plates and bowls were totally wet and a great deal had food stuck to it. So gross! I wont be back, there are better buffets in town and bigger obviously isn't better. read more

I must be feeling generous tonight. Really the food was one star. If you like bland food that all tastes the same this is the place for you!!!! They have all you can eat cold crab legs, the crackers for the crab legs were nowhere near the crab legs at all, the crab Rangoon was pale limp and soggy. The jalapeño chicken tasted like the bbq chicken only slightly better, same sauce though. The asparagus wasn't good, the sauce on the broccoli beef was brown and tasteless. The sushi looked decent, but I am not a fan. The Hibachi grill was kept clean and the 2 men cooking were very nice. Again what was available as far as flavor and veggies was very slim. At least it was well maintained. The desserts were clearly the normal pre-made crap you can get elsewhere. Try Asian House, it's not a buffet, but the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. It's a small biz with a awesome owner. Joy wok is a disgusting food born illness seas-pool waiting to happen. At some point gaining weight here will certainly not be an issue. read more

Definitely worth the money. We all went for seafood night (Friday). There is so much to choose from. The sashimi and sushi alone are worth the $30 buffet price. Add the all-you-can eat crab legs and it's a steal! read more

Very disappointed we called about the crab leg buffet and prime rib. We were told it was all day on New Year's Eve. We went at lunch time so we could be at home by the Chiefs game and wanted not to be out to late. When we got there there we no crab legs until after 4pm. We can live without crab legs but our waitress wouldn't even acknowledge this. A simple I'm sorry for the confusion of the time that they were being served would have been nice. The buffet itself was good, but wish they would have a few more dishes with shrimp besides spicy. read more

It had been some time since I visited Joy Wok in it's former location. This was our first visit for lunch at the new location, which formally was Plaza III. The interior is a great improvement over the old location. Parking was surprisingly a challenge midday Friday during the holidays. I am pleased to share that the quality of the offerings and the many selections are as good if not better than the old location. The weekday lunch buffet fee is about $13, which is amazing for the many limitless options that are offered. It was a bit crowded, but that did not bother us. The serving staff were courteous and quick to remove dishes. Overall, a good value. read more

I went to Joy Wok today in OP Kansas, I live around 30 minutes away but I go for the duck, the squid and the crablegs. I enjoy other items on the buffet but I mainly come for these particular items. The seafood buffet with the duck is supposed to start at 3:45pm and I arrived at 4. Not only was there no duck, squid or my favorite chicken on the buffet but the food was old and cold. I waited more that 30 minutes for the hot food and the duck to be placed on the buffet. I then proceeded to get my other buffet items and end with getting my crab legs. Mind you, I paid 30 bucks for this and I'm taking it to go but they gave me a small carry out box and tried to make a complaint because the box would not close with the crablegs in it. Well duh, the box is so small. Anyway, they need to step it up. read more

Do not eat here. The food handling is not up to code. I've seen chicken in big pots on the floor being sprayed down with water.

We went to this buffet on a Saturday evening and it was packed. Over crowded. We were placed in a back room packed like sardines. The chairs were so close together that the entire table had to leave at the same time. Considering this is a "new" location is is filthy, and run down. The main buffet was meh! other buffets in town are much better. On the up-side, I would rate the sashimi and sushi with high marks and worth the $30 price tag. Unfortunately, if you aren't a sushi lover go somewhere else. read more

We don't usually eat this type of food, however we tried it anyway! It was delicious, the service was good as well, we would and have recommended it to our friends. read more

We went for a special occasion on a Friday night specifically for the crab legs. They were cold and small. Could hardly get enough meat out of them to satisfy myself for dinner. Two out of ten people ate crab legs, but everyone is charged for seafood price. Probably wont be going back. read more

The restaurant was Clean. There was a good selection and good food. I took my wife and daughter and everyone agreed that this is a keeper.

Crawfish is very good and seasonedFlaky FishLo Mein NoodlesCrab Rangoon all good food had great customer service

Our first time and the service was great. Wide variety of food options for everyone's taste buds. We will be back.

I really loved the new location. The space was nice and the set up good. I want to give it a 5 because the food was so good. The crablegs on the weekend are not the small cheapy ones and the 29 bucks is worth it jist in crablegs and sushi I ate. I was sad not to see the coconut shrimp like before. The reason I can't give it 5 stars is 2 fixable issues. #1 Someone needs to be serving the ice cream to customers vs allowing guests to do it. I witnessed a woman get ice cream on her arm. She proceeded to use the faucet that runs the warm water into the area housing the scoopers as her personally sink. Rinsing her hands off over the sink...it was DISGUSTING!!!! Hard pass on eating any of that ice cream. The lady behind me and I both just cringed and ask did she really juat do that. #2 Other issue was the poor quality of napkins. My family of 5 probably used 50 napkins that night. Everytime we needed to clean off from crab juice the paper just tore and stuck to our fingers. It was not ideal. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody. Our table was covered in food when they sat us.The floor is completely covered in food and trash throughout the whole restaurant. It is so loud you cannot hear the person sitting across the table. The food is not good whatsoever, the only thing we enjoyed was the donuts. The waiter filled our water cups once. We got 2 weekend buffet dinners and it was $65. Do not waste your time at this place, it's awful. read more

Lots of choices and the food tastes good so 5 stars for me. It's a new location so it seemed super clean.

I had dinner with my family and my mom/dad on November 25th. When my father was leaving with his cane it slipped in water on the floor that was not marked and the fall resulted in two broken ribs, an ambulance ride, and ER stay. This cost my 80-year-old father deductible bills and we asked Joy Wok for help with those bills and we have been ghosted ever since. Morally the right thing to do was at least help with out-of-pocket payments. That is all they asked for. I personally had to take off three days to get my dad/mom back to Flordia so we were out of a hotel room, plane ticket, and three days of work. I would think twice about eating here. read more

The food was really good we go every like a month because it's expensive but other than the food is amazing

Buffet prices went up 50% to $30/person. Was not expecting to pay over $200 for a party of 8. Food's pretty good but there was what looked like a staple in my green beans, and the beer bucket on the table that was supposed to be for trash was wet and rusty inside. Very off-putting and not worth the money. read more

No vale verga piden más de 20% de tip y chingan mucho más meseras te quieren correr las perras

Very nice buffet with many options but too pricy especially for someone who doesn't eat seafood on the weekend buffet.
