At Joyness Eating, there are posters of dishes from Shaanxi Province on the wall. Order from the kiosk and then grab some water, utensils, and napkins. They excel at rice bowls and rou jia mo (crispy flatbread meat sandwiches). Huanxi Signature Braised Pork Rice (Pork over Rice): Like pulled pork, the meat is shredded, tender, and surprisingly juicy. This hearty bowl of rice is filled with hidden treasures. It contains matchsticks of potato, cabbage, pickled long beans, and two creamy quail eggs. You select a chili sauce to top the meat. The green chili sauce tastes like a fire roasted hatch chili salsa. With smoky charred notes and strong garlic flavor, you'll definitely want some of it on each bite. Braised Pork Flatbread: The same tender meat is provided in pocket form. The flatbread is extra crispy with many layers and a dense texture. There's something irresistible about flavorful juicy meat in a crispy pastry. You'll want to unravel pieces of the warm flaky bread. Ordering: Mash the buttons on the screen of the kiosk and pay. Someone will call your name when the food is ready. Parking: The lot is small and usually paper with a steam of delivery drivers. There's plenty of street parking. read more

Extremely disappointing experience. I will never ever recommend this place!!! I came here with a friend expecting a decent meal, but the entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. I ordered the $16 tomato and egg noodles, while my friend ordered the $17 zhajiang noodles. Before ordering, I specifically asked the owner whether I could get a noodle refill. He told me yes. After I finished my noodles, I asked for the refill and was suddenly told that only the zhajiang noodles could be refilled. If that is the restaurant's policy, it should have been clearly explained when I asked before ordering. Telling a customer "yes" first and then changing the answer after they have finished their meal is simply poor communication and poor service. The service was the worst part of the experience. My noodles took an unnecessarily long time to come out. More importantly, I felt that the owner treated me noticeably differently from my friend. He was friendly toward my friend but cold and impatient toward me, which made me feel genuinely unwelcome. I understand that tipping is customary in the US, but customers should not feel that the quality of service depends on how much they order or whether they leave a tip. I came here as a paying customer and expected basic courtesy. The food was also nowhere near worth the price. My $16 tomato and egg noodles were extremely basic, only noodles with tomato and egg and they sell it for $16!?? The flavor was nothing special and certainly did not justify the price. My friend's $17 zhajiang noodles had very little meat, and the meat was chopped into tiny pieces. For nearly $20 after tax and tip, this level of food is simply not acceptable to me. The value is poor. $16-17 for a basic bowl of noodles can be reasonable if the food, portion, service, or overall experience makes it worthwhile. Here, none of those things stood out. The ambiance was also underwhelming. There was nothing particularly comfortable, welcoming, or memorable about the dining environment that would justify the price. Combined with the poor service, the atmosphere made the meal feel even less enjoyable. What makes this experience especially frustrating is that I hadn't eaten all day. I came here genuinely hungry and looking forward to a good meal, only to leave feeling irritated and disappointed. There are plenty of other Chinese noodle restaurants in the area where I can spend $16-17 and actually feel like I received a meal worth paying for. For the price, the food is mediocre, the value is poor, the ambiance is unremarkable, and the service was unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant, do not come! read more

found this close by where I'm running errands during lunchtime. it's in a small corner shopping lot. arrived here around 12pm on a Wednesday. the place is empty, but there's togo orders here and there while i'm eating my lunch. I ordered their famous pork buckle over rice. it's a self service place as you order at the counter, take your own utensils and water. food was served right away, in a plastic to go bowls. the pork knuckles were chopped to pieces so it's easy to eat, also included are 2 braised quail eggs and pickle beans. meat was tender and flavorful, sides are good as well. a good place to grab something fast. would come back to try other dishes. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

solid solid place. from the time i was in the door, to the time i threw away my trash and walked out, 21 minutes passed. you order, and basically get your food in the next two minutes. the whole joint is a fast casual kinda spot, with good food. if i had to describe it in a few words, id say its yo mommas food. really, it tastes like your mom is out back preparing it and there's just something so comforting about that. nothing fancy, no table service, just self serve. food itself tastes great, steaming hot, good flavor, great price. nothing really to complain about. ps i like yo mommas cooking. read more

I ordered a beef noodle.but where's the fxxxing BEEF. And nobody answered the phone to reply back.

Came to try out the crispy burger which I give a 10/10. The rice dishes were a 6/10 due to the fact that the stewing of meats was not particularly memorable. The only thing that made the bowl unique was the low price and the pickled veggies and chili sauces that the owner has. They also had a combo deal that consisted of adding a chicken drumstick to a bowl and get a tea for an additional $3.50. Service was fast and polite. There was a hair in one of our bowls. Will be back but only for their crispy burgers. read more

I have to strongly disagree with the other reviewers. I gave this place a shot based on the others saying it's "tasty" and "good". I'm not particularly picky, but the taste is fairly plain and disappointing. I did not find the meat or rice "flavorful". It was bad enough I ended up having to throw away half away once home. Portions are mostly made up by large servings of rices. The location is a little depressing because they use wall-high one-way posters where you can't see inside at all. You can barely tell if the place is open. Feel free to take the risk if you want to try yourself, but I am afraid the other reviewers might be influenced by the free drink they offer for posting a yelp review sigh. read more

This is one of the most renowned, economical and delightful authentic Chinese small restaurant gems in LA (IYKYK). And they just opened the refreshing Dine-In spot this season. In La La Land, TBH, it's rare to find real traditional combo from my hometown on this price. The most signature braised pork belly over rice is my must order every time. As a meat lover, very happy with the tender texture and delicious flavor, along with favorite pickle bean with chili oil & tasty chopped red chill. Plus: you also get a free 'Saint drink of summer' - fine plum tea (in oriental healthy lifestyle theory, we believe tea like this can kill your heat / fire in the body). And you are absolutely allowed to do 'à la carte' style, too. Choose whatever protein, veggie, sauce, rice/noodle, et cetera. New surprises / add-up choices, including the most LA crispy meat flatbread (Chinese hamburger), all kinds of SiChuan/ ChongQing style spicy slim noodles, miscellaneous fish / meat small hot-pot stew and Claypot alike rice. The owner couple is from Northern China, welcoming, genuine and hardworking. It's a pleasing experience to rest and eat at this cool and relaxing spot while enduring the current heated climate. Further, get satisfied and happiness from the crafted cuisine they made from heart and soul. read more

This place is lowkey one of my favorite spots in 626 right now. The authentic dishes paired with affordability as well as just a large menu makes this a really special place. I will say that the menu may turn a lot of people away because of the translation issue. But you have to take a shot here for a quick lunch or a weekday uber dinner. Pork over rice and the beef brisket over rice are super high quality. And the spice levels are perfect. Note that I've gotten uber eats from here already once a week for the last month. I have yet to try the burger but I think that that dish would be better had onsite. Also the lemon tea is perfect sweet/tartness to cut through the protein, flavor packed bowls. Highly recommended. read more
