Thought I give this place another try but this place failed me again. Got the half roasted duck to go. I thought they would give me one from the display and cut it in half like at the supermarket. Hot and fresh. Got home in less than 5 minutes, opened the to go container and the roasted duck was fridge cold like it's been sitting in the fridge for a few days ago. Duck is supposed to be fatty, juicy, and greasy. This duck was at least a day old and cold. Disappointed and do not recommend. Makes me really miss the duck from all the Asian supermarkets like 99 Ranch, SF, and Peoples Market. read more

N’Joy Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Great little spot in a super busy shopping center near Costco. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, but you should give N'Joy a try! Tbh, I was a little nervous since there haven't been many recent menu photos or reviews. We took everything to-go, but it was piping hot out of the kitchen and only took about 10 minutes from ordering at the counter to leaving with the goods in-hand. There is plenty of space to dine-in as well. Their menu is huge - almost overwhelming - but they have a little bit of everything. I stopped in specifically for BBQ Pork steamed rice rolls, which can be tough to find at most places outside of a dim sum menu. The price was reasonable (I think $6.75) and it was a great portion. Very flavorful, tender, and a delicious sauce! We also got an order of steamed BBQ pork buns (3 total). Surprisingly, I don't think it was the same meat from the rice rolls but that's OK because it was almost shredded consistency with a good flavor. The bun is a bao-style bun, so less fluffy than my preferred steam bun type but perfectly steamed nonetheless. We ended with an order of sesame balls (3 piece). I was surprised at how much oil was in the to-go container, and a little disappointed that there wasn't more of the sesame coating, but they were so FRESH! I assumed the inside would be red bean but instead it was jelly cubes that reminded me of square boba jellies. Possibly pineapple flavored? It was not my thing but also my fault for not confirming it what was inside. Will definitely be coming back for rice rolls! read more

Got takeout from this restaurant for Christmas Day and everything was delicious! We got multiple dishes such as fried rice, spare ribs, duck, tofu, beef, chow fun, and fish. The beef was tender, the spareribs were coated in honey sauce and were delicious, and the fish was perfectly soft. The food was flavorful and it wasn't salty. I didn't taste any MSG either which is a plus. I would definitely come back here! read more

My family and I's go to spot for chinese food since they opened. A chinese family dinner can be quite pricey and at N'Joy the price is right! My family came with a party of 7, and our bill was under $140 which means it was less than $20/person. Not to mention we also had leftovers! The service can be slow as it seems they are understaffed, but nonetheless the waitresses are nice and try their best to tend to all costumers. read more

N'Joy Cafe is a top choice for authentic Chinese cuisine. Their sweet and sour pork stands out for its freshness and crunchy texture with a beautiful glaze. The beef and broccoli are prepared with good quality ingredients. The minced beef soup with egg whites & cilantro is one of my favorite on the menu. The cafe is clean and the staff provides excellent service. read more

N’Joy Cafe - HK Style Sweet & Sour Pork 港式咕咾肉 - Chinese Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Went there on Sunday and since I could not order on the clover app I just ordered inside the store. I usually order from the Clover app because it is easier to time the order from our Costco trip (Costco shopping usually takes 1 hr so I usually place the order as we enter Costco). As I got to the store I noticed a lot of new items! I saw the wife cake looking pastry flyer and I could not wait to try it next Saturday. I was going to order some baked bread but they are sold out. Hopefully they might have some on Saturday. Want to try to baked BBQ pork! Regardless we enjoyed our usual: aka Beef chow fun and food kin fried rice, plus the water spinach with garlic. My husband kept praising the wok hei on the veggie dish (and he usually hate veggie btw). We got the crispy roast pork and duck too and love it of course. And the Toi San rice dumpings with peanuts! Husband said he wanted to try the clam on Saturday too. Can't wait to eat there Saturday again! Love to have some authentic Chinese food! We still have not try to eat in person in the shop yet. It is nicely decorated, but nothing beats pigging on take out food with loose pants at home. My in-laws go and eat there a lot in person though. I guess they have more restraints than us :). To us, nothing beat eating good food in loose pants and then take a nap :) read more

This place is the worst! I Came here once two years ago and the food was very mediocre and pricy. i decided to give it another chance. We ordered a pineapple fried rice and a roast duck rice. 1. Pineapple fried rice- The pineapple was rancid, and the rice was lukewarm. I felt like they microwaved some old fried rice and added some canned pineapple that went bad on top. 2. roasted duck rice - i asked if the ducks had just came out of the roaster before sitting down and the waitress mentioned it just had. i ordered the roasted duck rice and it took a while for it to come out only to be served probably days old duck thrown into the oven, the skin came out crispy and dry and the meat was dry and not juicy at all. I cant believe they are still in business after twi years. read more

Fast customer service. A little hard to understand the cashier at times. I ordered the milk taro with boba- 9/10 Matcha milk tea with lychee popping boba 10/10 Orange chicken- bland AF 3/10 Chicken chow mein - 8/10 Broccoli beef- slimy and no one ate at home. 0/10 Wonton soup- broth 5/10 wontons 9/10 Spicy green bean and shrimp 10/10 Pork fried rice- 10/10 Portions are like most Chinese restaurants. It has plenty of seating and parking all around. Food just lacking taste. Price point is average. Much better options nearby. :/ read more

A decent Chinese restaurant in Elk Grove area. Pan fried noodle with beef and black pepper sauce: the noodle was not crispy/crunchy at all. Super salty as well. If it wasn't salty, this would have been a good dish. The flavor was good. String bean with chicken: a tad bit salty but a solid dish. Braised beef brisket pan fried noodle: again, noodles were not crispy/crunchy. Brisket and veggie were super tender which I love. Flavor was on point. Service was attentive, friendly and quick, read more

Cute little cafe in the same shopping plaza. Walked in with my parents because we wanted to have a quick bite. We were greeted by the aunties as if they knew us most of our lives and we were seated right away. We all ordered porridge. I ordered the preserved century egg with minced pork because that is my go to. Our food came out fast and the porridge was piping hot and flavorful! The bowl size is huge.

We've been here twice, and it's close to our house. We love their food. We ordered custard buns, chow fun with scrambled egg shrimp, and a BBQ combo set. Also, I requested less salt and less oil. They listened to me, which I appreciated. The BBQ platter really surprised us. The duck meat was easy to chew, and the BBQ pork was flavorful. My boy enjoyed his food. The staff here was nice. The restaurant is clean. The parking situation here isn't bad. read more

Very expensive. Some broccoli, $17. Crazy. I never paid $170 for a meal, 4 kids that eat very little too. And they automatically charge tip.

Orange chicken hard to eat coz meat is hard . taste like rock, shrimp fried rice had only 4-5 shrimp!!!

I frequent this place due to the authenticity of the food. However, don't expect too much customer service from here. The servers lack professionalism and can be short with you. The last time I was here, I had to walk out after being seated. The workers were having an argument about who should serve us because one of them were upset that she didn't have her break. They were throwing dishes as they clean up and yelling at each other in Cantonese. It was very uncomfortable for us. I want to support local family-owned business, but no matter how good the food is, I won't be able to enjoy my meal when there's an active family fued. Family disagreements happen, but don't do that at your own business while customers are present. If I want to hear arguments, I'll save my money and eat at my family's house, where the food is authentic, the meals are free, and the arguments are on-going. read more

Everything was good... the server sat us right away and the place looked amazing. The atmosphere and location has plenty of seating and easy access to condiments if needed. They have free wifi, which is amazing as this spot is located at the Costco (deadzone) area for cell reception. They offer wide range of dishes such as verity of dimsum, different dishes of Chinese cuisine and boba/snacks. The Mongolian beef is very light in flavor which is fine, but definitely will ask to make it a bit spicier. The BBQ dish was good add on. The tofu and fish claypot was the best dish I ordered. It was packed with stuff and had good flavor. The salted fish and chicken actually tasted like it had salted fish, it helped counter palace the sweet from the bbq dish and the heaviness of the other dish. I also ordered their famous Noodle Roll both shrimp and pork style, the shrimp needed more shrimp or at least bigger one for the thickness of the noodle and price. Overall both of them has the waxy and silky texture you want. Bonus: Their hot sauce or chili sauce has a nice flavor of both spice and sour. read more

Located in the same giant plaza as Costco, Amazon Fresh, and Nordstrom Rack, next to Crumbl Cookies. The parking can be a little tight here in this "cul de sac" like parking lot. Food is a solid 3 stars, it's a hit or miss depending on what you order. A nice place to get your Canton/HK style food fix. They serve the usual Chinese food you would find at any Chinese restaurant but also serves their own BBQ/Roast meats! Their menu also expands to items you don't normally see at a more Americanized Chinese restaurant such as congee, rice rolls, clay pots, etc. In addition, they have a menu of Boba drinks. I like to order their rice rolls and the HK style soy sauce chow mein. Their over rice dishes are a hit or miss. I would skip the congee (the one I tried was the preserved egg with pork which lacked flavor). The wonton noodles are also mediocre (which is a shame as I love wontons!). I come here once in a while to get my Cantonese food fix if I'm in the area. Otherwise, I would not make a drive just to eat this. read more

Not even mid. No flavor, no seasoning, lukewarm food, and stringy pork. I honestly wish I didn't try it

Stopped here after going to Costco. Standard Chinese fair, ordered a variety of dishes (braised beef stew chow fun, broccoli beef, shrimp rice roll, bbq pork fried rice, half duck/chicken bbq). A few highlights: -The broccoli in the broccoli beef was cooked well and lightly crunchy. -ample proportion of ginger scallion sauce to the steamed chicken -juicy and meaty roast duck -the restaurant itself is small, but very clean. -friendly service and food was served very quickly Overall, the dishes all tasted like they were JUST seasoned enough/borderline bland. Just a little more oyster sauce/soy sauce would make a big difference. No bold flavors here. I especially Wished the braised beef had a bolder taste the complement the chow fun. I probably wouldn't drive out of the way to come here, but if I needed a Chinese fix after shopping around here I'd consider coming back. It's a solid B. read more

N'joy Cafe serves up delicious Cantonese cuisine. They're located in a popular shopping center on the corner of Bruceville Rd and Elk Grove Blvd near Costco. The restaurant is clean and spacious. And the service is fast and efficient. We've tried a number of dishes including their roast duck and beef chow fun. The duck is excellent and the chow fun always has that "wok breath".

Recently Uber eats from this location because I was craving wonton soup. I ordered their crab rangoons and their wonton soup. Crab Rangoons were delicious. The perfect amount of crispiness. I would totally order this again. Their wonton soup was on the basic side. Straight forward with broth and wontons. If you're craving something simple, definitely try this. Their wontons had a good amount of protein in it. Although, I wish it had some veggies within the soup. All in all, no complaints. read more

So embarrased that we had this fancy feast and I forgot to get one picture for this Yelp! review! Came down to Elk Grove for my Chinese aunt's 90 birthday with my son and reunited with my brother, his family, and my son from Southern California, and my cousin and her husband. We had a family style Cantonese dinner here at NJoy with multiple courses - orange chicken for my picky eater son, bitter melon with beef, shrimp with vegestabels, curried fish balls, chow fun with shrimp, bbq pork buns, crispy pork, marinated chicken, and white rice. OMG, loved every bite and we had the perfect table for all of us with a lazy Susan to share everything. Everything was so good. The restaurant is small but intimate and the server was so nice. I wish my stay was a bit longer because I would have come vack in the morning for congee, but I'll have to come back next time when I make the trip over the mountain from Reno. It truly was a great experience! Price for all that food was very reasonable, in fact surprisingly reasonable. read more

I ordered take out since I was in the area. I've been trying to give this place a try but haven't had the chance to. I ordered Peking ribs, garlic peas, and half of a roasted duck. Pretty disappointed, the Peking ribs taste like sweet and sour and the meat pieces are half fat and half meat. I ended up throwing that away. The garlic peas and roasted duck were pretty good but had better at another restaurant. They do have a pretty big menu. Maybe I'll give this place another chance. read more

I'm really torn writing this review because I don't like writing negative reviews. But, as a consumer, I appreciate honest reviews and appreciate truthful feedback when researching for a good place to patronize. So, based upon the brisket chow fun and brisket & rice, here's just the facts: PROS 1. Clean restaurant 2. Good location (near Costco and Starbucks) on Elk Grove Blvd. 3. Friendly counter cashier 4. Well seasoned and flavorful food 5. Take out is packaged very well 6. Excellent service (they seem to appreciate customers) CONS 1. Value for dollar is not acceptable 2. Too many inedible valves compared to actual beef 3. Stingy with condiments in take out. 4. Meat & veg to rice ratio is too low. I hope this helps them as well as the con ch read more

N’Joy Cafe - Inedible beef valves/vessel - Chinese Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Astronomical prices for side dishes. You could get better dim sum elsewhere. This place is mediocre and the wait times are very high. On top of that, many items are pricey despite not being fresh. I paid $8 for 3 tiny steamed custard buns that were clearly the frozen type found at any Asian grocery store. It also took over 20 minutes which is pushing it for a small take out order. The service was polite and they were clearly understaffed for a busy Sunday afternoon. They were also filling door dash orders which only added to the chaos. The food tasted fine but I'm not sure I'll go back. read more

I ordered the Chicken Chowmein and thought it required some "doctoring" (I.e., soy sauce and a little fish sauce) it was delicious! My son had pork fried rice and he gobbled it up!

Yes, we did takeout but the restaurant has dine-in too with great ambiance and competitive prices. read more

Delicious Cantonese food in Elk Grove! My family usually goes more to Sacramento for Cantonese food but this restaurant has been on repeat every since they discovered it. Prices are fairly reasonable with some dishes but of course my Chinese family would always say it could be cheaper. Portions are good, not ginormous but also not skimpy. Here are some of my go-to favorites that we ordered: Pan fried noodles with beef and tomato (5/5)- I always order this when I go to eat Chinese food and this dish was the best out of all. Saucy, sweet, and salty. Beef chow fun (4/5)- noodles could have been a little thinner or separated. Supposedly the meat was more tender last time my aunt came. Wonton noodle soup (3.5/5) -broth was lacking a little something, noodles a little over cooked, and wontons could have had more shrimp. For $11 it's still worth imo Fish porridge (3.5/5)- doesn't taste the same as all the other fish porridges I've had, perhaps could have used more salt Noodle rice roll- not sure why my aunt ordered no meat, but it was free since she has a rewards card for coming here so much. I'd rather have it with me. Essentially these are all of my favorite Cantonese dishes and they all passed the test to eat again. read more

N'Joy is conveniently located in Elk Grove by Costco and Nordstrom. The restaurant is pretty small and kind of busy during lunch and dinner times. It's expected since that's when they get the most to-go orders and customer's dining in. Let's talk food! Some of my favorites are the roasted duck over rice, deep fried tofu, fried rice with dried scallops, and the porridge. I'm not a big fan of their rice noodle rolls. The beef chow fun is also a little too greasy for my liking. I love that anytime I'm craving Chinese food I can come here for a quick bite. The service here needs some improvement. After getting food served, you usually don't see your server again unless you flag them down. If you haven't given this place a try, you should! There are a lot more yummy items on the menu I have yet to try. I will come back to try them soon. read more
