I love the food, the service is fast the women that take my 7 different order at the same time, she was so nice and friendly as I'm so hungry and also will take home some of the order, the order come so fast, cucumber so good, black peeper beef awesome, bok coy, pork belly tofu, lamb curry, beef fried rice is good also the onion pancake my favorite snack I told her I will come again for sure. Ambience it's good is bright we can see the food. Not so many people come but I just like the food and the portion is huge, thanks for the chef doing a good job. Again I'll be bac

When they first opened I came all the time, to the point the servers recognized me. It was always packed with a wait. Everything I had was really good. Over the course of a few years it just wasn't consistent so i didn't come as often. Last night I wanted their hot and sour soup (they call spicy & sour). The restaurant was empty with the exception of 2 tables. We were seated instantly and given water. It was absolutely freezing inside and the front door was wide open on this cold rainy night. A family was at a table nearby dressed in heavy coats with hoods and hats on. My dining partner asked if the door could be shut and the one server on duty said no. They had the the air con on and the door open. We asked if we could move to the other side away from the door and were told that section was closed and we could not. It was uncomfortably cold so we left as did the groups who came in after us. Not sure what's going on, but this was one of my favorite spots in vista and it's sad to see what it's turned into. Maybe I'll check out the Oceanside location again, hopefully they are more accommodating.

Whatever this dish was it was yummy!

Just came after getting pedicures across the street at Aria- so it was about 5:30 pm- server was not as friendly and my friend was a bit put off- but the food was delicious and we enjoyed our dinner - we stayed but before closing we're basically rushed out of the restaurant- as she wanted to close - early which was weird

I ordered 5 dishes last night, totally not eatable. Looks this popcorn chicken! How does the chef cook like that?

I got the pork and chive dumplings, which are always good. I tried the chicken and corn dumplings which were ok. It was ground chicken with corn kernels. I think it would have been better if the corn was more ground up and there were more spices or something added. The cucumber salad was very very tasty. The beef with brocolli was also ok. I found the beef to be rather fatty tho. Definitely think the chicken is better here. The service is good and they were super nice and let us be there late.

Service is great here they are always very attentive and nice, the food is flavorful I had the wontons with chili oil they are really good and the green scallion pancake is one of the best appetizers to get it's similar to a quesadilla haha but their own version, the food always come out fresh & steaming hot and very fast paced which is great when your starving! This place is really good can't wait to come back

What's with those random pink ginger strips??
Sylvain B.

I am updating and downgrading my review after today's experience (I also noticed I overrated my firsts experience there, it should have been 3 stars since my spicy dumplings were overly salted). I was craving Xiao Long Bao and decided to go to Joyee for a very late lunch. How disappointing... The XLB skin was extremely thick, cracked open on the top (see my photo here: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joyees-dumpling-house-vista?start=480&select=1jurpathdFtbweTYK4lJsA ). They looked industrial made and frozen XLB. The "soup" in the dumpling was not tasty and almost not present. Very bland, perfectly shaped ball of meat, definitely machine made. How and what were those couple of pieces of thick pink salty ginger? MEH. I would give them 0 stars. Cucumber salad, again, you can't go wrong (I'd add sesame oil in them though). That was most likely my last time at Joyee.

My husband and I were in the shopping center and we decided to try a new restaurant (new years resolution) we ordered a few things thinking we wouldn't be full with one plate. Boy were we wrong ... the waiter was super amazing welcomed us, served us the food and when we saw the portion it was more than what we expected. The food was prepared to order so the flavor was amazing.

Pork wonton soup
Klariza F.

This place was pretty good. It's been in my collection for some time. Finally getting to try it was nice. I haven't had dumplings in a long time. My friend Alex enjoyed it as well. The pork soup wonton was a big portion for $12.99. A good size portion for the price. You can share it a few times and can be good for 2-3 people. The scallion pancakes were so delicious and crunchy! The soup dumplings had so much flavor. They do take a bit of time to make. The chicken and corn were yummy as well. The service is efficient. They had a cute mascot statue outside. It was nice, clean, organized inside. I would definitely come back.

Noodles
Guy E.

I ate there with my family with 2 young kids, we ordered chicken dumplings and it's comes raw! No big deal i told them and they cooked it more. I ordered noodles and it's literally comes with a worm !!!! The manager told me it's normal, unbelievable Disgusting , service was even worse

Rom P.

Dumplings and more... We opted for salted chicken wings, Szechuan eggplant, shrimp dumplings, long xiao bao, beef chow mien were ordered during this visit. Everyone was satisfied with the variety of food. The place is located in a strip mall and there was plenty of parking. It's a good location and it was easy to get to We will be back to try the other offerings.

Black Sesame Bun has me hooked on Joyee!
Jemiah J.

I love that Vista has a dumpling spot on University! After work, I was hungry for a snack and looking for a place to grab some food to go when Joyee caught my eye. I ordered their black sesame bun, and it definitely hit the spot. The staff here were prompt and friendly, and I found the restaurant to be cute. I'd definitely come back to dine in and try more items from their menu. I also appreciated how convenient the parking was since it's located in a plaza across from Target and other big-name stores like Old Navy, Ross, and Trader Joe's.

Beef Chow fun
Helen D.

Im always so impressed when I come here, especially having high expectations as a chinese woman but I love eating here! The quality is high and very tasty. Everything is made pretty authentically and has the right amount of flavor.

It's been awhile since we've been here and we've definitely missed out…read more Went with the fam this evening at 6:00pm and was able to be seated promptly. Everything like the decor, food and especially the customer service was exactly how it was the last time we went, so that in itself was impressive. The employees are so kind and efficient and Trina is the absolute best. Even after not being there in a long time, she remembered us and what we usually order! She is amazing. We ordered our Pho's, Spring rolls and my usual Bun Bo Hue. Every dish continues to be so delicious and full-flavored. Nothing lacking. We also ordered Thai teas which was refreshing and so tasty. It's always a hit when we go. We'll be back!

Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great meal. They even boxed up our leftovers for us which was such a thoughtful touch and treated us with some free desserts since it was a holiday. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a nice ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. We loved the Vietnamese dishes since that's our ethnicity. But it's great that they also offer some Chinese and Thai options on the menu. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. One thing that really stood out was how accommodating they were to my mom, who is diabetic. They kindly substituted extra vegetables in place of noodles for her without any issues. We really appreciated their willingness to help and make sure she could enjoy her meal. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and excellent food. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town and can't wait to try more dishes from the menu!

After spending our Sunday morning enjoying Discovery Lake and hiking its trails, we decided to have…read morelunch at the nearby Campus Pointe II Plaza. There were many dining options on site, and ultimately we decided on One More Bite after seeing a cook making dumplings behind a glass wall, assuring us they were authentic and the dumplings were not from stores. The restaurant, with its modern Asian décor, was clean and quite spacious, with seating for 70+ guests. The friendly staff guided us to our table and brough water and menu right away. After browsing its extensive menu, we ordered the following dishes: Popcorn Fried Chicken: The chicken pieces were lightly battered, tasty, crispy, and mildly spicy. Pork Xiao Long Bao: This is the quintessential dish of any dumpling house and theirs was spot on. The delicate outer wrap was flawlessly steamed without any tearing, perfectly trapping the juicy broth inside. The filling was well seasoned and with very nice texture. Boiled Shrimp and Pork Dumplings: The outer layers were not soggy or overly boiled, retaining its firm but delicate texture. The filling was savory and a tad sweet. Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup with Udon: The broth was light but flavorful, with a hint of pleasant white pepper aroma. The thick udon noodles were nicely al dente. The wontons, with savory filling, had slightly thick wraps. Rainbow Vegetable Pan Fried Dumplings: The colorful wraps really accentuated these dumplings. The outer layer had a nice firmness on top and a beautifully crispy bottom. The well minced filling was lightly seasoned and soft. Brown Sugar Rice Cakes: The rice cakes were quickly fried, creating a golden outer layer and pleasantly chewy inside. The drizzled brown sugar provided the sweet kick. Coconut Cream Balls: The fried outer layer was crunchy, and the runny coconut cream inside was not overly sweet. Overall, it was a very enjoyable lunch experience.
