    Beef Brisket Over Rice ($10.99) with Chicken Drumstick (additional $2.49)
    Ian A.

    Joyness Eating (San Gabriel) is not bad. I ordered the "Beef Brisket Over Rice" ($10.99) with added Chicken Drumstick (additional $2.49). It's cheap, fast eats. (Important Note: Be cautious of the high rating because this location offers a FREE DRINK for a "Google/Yelp Review." I hate these gimmicks, and I refuse. I will attach a photo of this shady gimmick.) I arrived at Joyness Eating (San Gabriel) on Tuesday (around 11:03AM). There's a tiny, cramped front parking lot (about seven spots). However, there's also street parking; sign says, "2 Hour Parking - 6AM to 6PM - Except Sunday." I quickly found street parking. Staff interaction is very minimal. Customers primarily order on the self-service kiosk. Staff briefly appears to bring the food and immediately return in the kitchen. The food was ready in four minutes. Crazy fast!! As mentioned, I ordered the "Beef Brisket Over Rice" ($10.99) with added Chicken Drumstick (additional $2.49). The meal is cheap & filling. Unfortunately, it's not very flavorful nor memorable. It all tastes like a reheated premade bowl from a convenience store. It's a hearty & affordable meal, but the protein has that dry aftertaste. Fortunately, the rice tasted fresh and hot. All in all, it's not bad. On ambiance, Joyness Eating (San Gabriel) is well-maintained. There's about five tables, and the location felt fairly clean. There's a gender neutral restroom, a big bottle of hand sanitizer, restful music, and a self-service water station. It felt comfortable. Overall, I had a forgettable experience at Joyness Eating (San Gabriel). At the very least, the food is very affordable and well-portioned. As mentioned, it's not bad, but it's currently not great. 3.9 out of 5

    Pickled fish

    I found this hidden gem today and thought it was delicious! I got the braised pork flatbread, the braised pork knuckle flatbread, and the pickled fish which comes with rice. All were super flavorful and well spiced. The flatbread was a little bit hard, but still pretty flaky. Service was pretty quick, though I think there's only one person manning the front counter. Still, you can order using the kiosk, which is easier. There's a parking lot and easy street parking

    The service is very good, we got the pork elbow over rice and beef brisket over rice both are tasty. The location is convenient across street of Chinese markets .

    Got a takeout braised pork rice set from Joyness Eating and it really hit the spot at home. The rice was perfectly cooked and the braised pork was super flavorful--rich, savory, and not too greasy. It paired really well with the sauce and sides in the set, making it feel like a comforting, complete meal even as takeout. Portion size was generous, definitely enough for a satisfying dinner. Even after bringing it home, the food still tasted fresh and warm, which is always a big plus for takeout. Quick pickup, friendly service, and overall great value for what you get. I'll definitely be ordering this again when I want something easy but really comforting.

    I discovered this place from IG. It's a great self serve place. You order at the kiosk and your food arrives within minutes. I ordered the beef brisket over rice. The food is fresh and made to order. I made mine slightly spicy which had a nice kick to it. This place feels like places over seas, where you order your food from a kiosk (contactless), then your food is brought out. This place drives a lot of Food delivery services. I saw a number of drivers arrive, pick up their orders and leave promptly. But they do have tables to dine in and enjoy your food.

    Liangpi and beef rice

    Great spot. Affordable and tasty food. Walk up and order via the screen. The jiamo another was flaky and soft. The rice was flavorful and the liangpi hit the spot. Honestly super underrated. Good for them!

    外卖上这家店很火,所以来超市买菜顺便来吃,店内不大,总共5张4人桌,自助点餐,自助取餐具,没给小费... 一份饭份量很大,猪肘配上剁椒太下饭了,剁椒很够味,辣味够的...另一份番茄炒蛋和卤肉配了香辣椒,略微有点咸,建议剁椒就可以了!

    Great for if you are on the go because they're so fast. The food are delicious with generous portion. Plenty of seats and parking. And to top it off, their rice dish is only around $12. Which is cheaper than most places! Their dishes are more on the spicier side, so order with caution :) The service is fast and friendly, there's a self ordering kiosk too.

    太好吃了!!!每次点外卖终于可以来店里吃了!!每次都爱上了 !价格实惠 下次打算试试肉夹馍

    价格,很实惠,一份大概10块出头,足够一人食;在店里堂吃还不用给小费! 这些全部下来也才50,回来在上一搜竟然网上也能点[汗颜R],真的算很有性价比了 欢喜吃饭公司 156 S San Gabriel Blvd San Gabriel CA 91776

    The food tastes amazing and authentic! Fast and friendly service. The guy was also very helpful in helping us choose from the food choices. Overall, just a small dine in restaurant experience, highly recommend! Also! no tipping service, just help yourself out!

    Great soup on a cold day. The golden lemon fish was spicy. Didnt expect that but was good. Enjoyed the mushroom fish too.

Love when the hash browns are crispy in there mmmm! I will say their salsa is more of a hit or miss, sometimes it's flavorful n spicy which I love then sometimes it lacks heat & doesn't give much of a taste! So wish it was more consistent! When I come for lunch I'm a sucker for a good cheeseburger, yellow chilis & onion rings! Mmm it's yummy! The drive thru could get a little backed up in the ams so be aware & hopefully you go the right way if not you're waiting in the street to pull in & some drivers can get annoyed lol Update: they finally updated their drive thru menu!! It's nice & brand new which they needed so was happy to see this happen! Sadly I didn't take a pic. Overall great OG joint for breakfast & lunch!

    Oof so much to say about the Pastrami breakfast burrito here…read more I stooped by Sunday morning to a decent breakfast crowd but my order was taken within 3 minutes of walking in. The cashier was nice but maybe she's new because she couldn't believe I wanted tater tots in my breakfast burrito instead of the homestyle potatoes. She asked me 4 times if that's what I wanted and then called a manager over to ask her too. It was just a super odd moment. The pastrami breakfast burrito is about $15 and it's a great size. Once I started digging in I immediately noticed issues. The pastrami was tough, fatty, stringy, and so overly salty. The tots were crispy but the first half of the burrito was just that - pastrami and tots. I actually got worried thinking they forgot the egg and cheese until I cut half way and realized all the egg and cheese was piled onto one end of the burrito. Why? How? Who taught these guys how to build a burrito? By then I had lost my appetite due to the pastrami but even so, there was hardly any egg and cheese compared to the pastrami. The green salsa too was bad. No flavor whatsoever all you get is the burning sensation from the peppers. I really think they just blended peppers and called it a salsa

My brother ordered the chicken quesadilla, and I went with the Wonder Burger combo that included fries, ranch, and a drink. Everything together came in under $40, and the portions were massive. The Wonder Burger was perfectly charred and truly one of a kind. It had all the classics--lettuce, tomato, and onion--but also stepped it up with bacon, mushrooms, avocado, and a great sauce that tied everything together. It was loaded, messy in the best way, and incredibly satisfying. The fries were plentiful and crispy, and the ranch was a great bonus. Overall, delicious comfort food done right. Service: Service was fast and efficient. Staff was super friendly. I was in a rush after getting my car window fixed, and they had my food out in about five minutes. No delays, no confusion--just quick, solid service when I needed it most. Ambiance: The space definitely feels old-school, but that's part of the charm. This place has clearly been around for years, and it shows in a comforting, classic diner way. It reminds me of East Pasadena's version of Lucky Boy on the west side--no frills, just dependable food and history. The only downside is the limited hours (9am-3pm). It's a shame they're not open for dinner because I'd absolutely love to come back and try more of the menu.
