    House special has different meats, chicken, beef and shrimp along with white rice and a delicious sauce.
    Cristina S.

    My boyfriend showed me this place. Great food! We order the house special it has different meats, beef, chicken and shrimp and a lot of veggies. It's the sauce that makes it so delicious the service is quick and friendly. Great atmosphere great service and they even speak Spanish. Just remember to bring cash they do not accept credit, debit or Apple Pay.

    I been coming here for years! Always cooked fresh! Love me the Lemon chicken special #20!! The best kimchi!

    Orange chicken, chicken chow mein
    Lily L.

    I've been coming here since I was a kid, and it's a hole in the wall that serves amazing food. Parking is sometimes hard during rush hour, but I always order take out during those moments and it's never an issue. The restaurant is a multi-generational Chinese restaurant and the owners are nice people with great service. I always order the chicken chow mein, and I don't like it at other locations because it's too starchy and feels like it come from a box. The orange chicken is made with peppers and orange peels and is perfectly crunchy when fresh. This place deserves more hype.

    La comida muy sabrosa pero desde Que me salio este metal en mi comida no lo recomiendo mas.

    I have been coming to this restaurant since 1994. I don't live in the area anymore, but I will make the drive every now and then. The location isn't the best. Parking sucks in that little plaza, but it's been like that since the 90s. The surrounding businesses are kinda grimey. The place is kinda small, but you can take it to go. The food is excellent. My family always ordered the sea food soup, mixed chow mein, shrimp fried rice, and broccoli beef. Good portions you can share. They also have the best kimchi. It's very light unlike any other kimchi I have ever had.

    Teriyaki Chicken plate! It's so good, little hidden gem. Ask for their kimchi! So delicious

    Yumminess!

    Found this little gem by complete accident, but this is the best accident ever! The food is delicious & very reasonably priced! The employees are nice as well. Definitely recommend the House Special #17 & the Chow Mein Combination #11 !

I also really like their marinated crab but it is quite pricey for the portion. Otherwise, I appreciate that it stays open quite late and has its own parking lot.

    Suuper bummed about our experience today. We ordered the cold noodle & LA galbi combo as we always…read moredo, and a leek pancake as we weren't as hungry and the combo usually fills us up. Even when we ordered the food, the server said "that's it?" as if she was offended that we didn't order more food (lower sales?) I'm not sure if we misunderstood her attitude but that's kind of how it felt like. The quality and size went down and it was just... not good. This used to be my #1 spot for cold noodles but our other fav place was closed today so we decided to come here. As you can see, the size of the cold noodles became smaller. Everything was packed in this small bowl which made it harder to eat. I think they changed the noodles they use because it wasn't doing anything texture wise. It used to be chewy and had a good buckwheat flavor. The broth tasted.. like water with a splash of bone broth. The quality of galbi was also a disappointing as I feel like it's became less and the meat was burnt with more fat/chewy bits. The leek pancake was ok but again, comparing it to my picture from January, it was bigger in size and more dough-y. Service was decent previously but it felt a bit cold today. Again, super bummed because we still love this place but I probably won't be ordering their combo again. You can see in my pictures how often we used to order the cold noodles from here and you can compare the quality.

It's expensive ($34.99) for the Premium Angus beef, but the flavor is just so worth it. Service is fast and efficient. Located in the corner of a strip mall in Koreatown, it is very difficult to find street parking nearby, so I usually opt to pay $5 cash to do the valet parking in the parking lot of this strip mall. It's just faster and easier.

    Taste: 5 Value: 5…read moreService: 5 One of the best Taiwanese meals I've had since coming back from Taipei at the start of the year. The hot and sour soup was thick and chunky, just how I like the soup. The scallion bread sandwich with 5-spice beef was distinct. The bread was perfectly baked and the beef was flavorful and juicy. There was both mustard greens and pickles that gave crunch and acidity to balance the meat and bread. The lotus root salad was refreshing while still having a kick from their in-house chili oil. Dan Dan noodles were also excellent. Fresh cucumbers, chewy noodles, flavorful sauce. Hearty portions with enough for a lunch the next day. Also appreciated the speed of service. Lines move quickly and food comes out quickly. Looking forward to my next visit!

    We stopped by Joy early evening on Friday since we were craving some Asian food. I really liked…read moretheir interior decoration, it gave felt both modern Chinese and nostalgic at the same time. They also had really authentic and delicious looking cold appetizers like woodear mushrooms and lotus root salad. There was barely a line when we arrived and we were able to order and get a table without much wait. The food all came out at the same time and very quickly. We got their shrimp wontons, Chia Yi chicken rice, and sesame scallion bread stuffed with braised pork belly. I was ready to be transported back to Asia when I saw the dishes but tasting them left me wanting more. The shrimp wontons had very thin silky wrapper which was very tasty, but the shrimp itself was so bland and lacked texture. Most of the shrimp wontons I've loved had a nice bite to it from the baking soda soak but this was just soft dumpling skin on soft shrimp. The shrimp itself could've used more salt and white pepper too, but I suppose dousing it in chili oil helped. The scallion bread filled with pork belly is probably the tastiest dish. The pork belly was well cooked and paired well with the sweet sauce, crunchy peanuts and fresh herbs. The sesame scallion bread however tasted like it has been sitting out on the counter for hours waiting to be stuffed. The bread was cold and the exterior wasn't crispy, there were scallion pieces throughout but you couldn't really taste it. I would recommend trying other dishes before trying the chia yi chicken rice. The shredded chicken was dry and bland, mixed in with mostly soggy pieces of fried shallots. The rice was more flavourful because it was soaked in fragrant oils, but it also left it very mushy and almost congee like. The pickled radishes didn't add much to the dish either. I almost forgot but we also tried their honey lemon black tea and passion fruit black tea. Neither tea had a lot of tea flavor, it was mostly just sweet. The passion fruit syrup was pretty tasty but we both wished there was more black tea. I might be extra critical since I grew up with this type of food, but there are other restaurants in LA that delivers great quality Chinese food. TL;DR: Joy is a well decorated restaurant with good vibes that prioritizes speed of service over freshness and flavour of food.

Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
