This place is great! Super quiet and a low-key environment. The food is delicious and priced fairly cheap for the quantity they give. Very fast service as well.

It is sad that this place is closing soon. My husband and I do like the food from here and I thought I found my new place to order Chinese food from. Unfortunately now we will have to look elsewhere when they close. It's a shame because I really loved their popcorn chicken and as I said in a previous review the food always comes out hot and fresh despite a delivery distance. I hope that the owners of this restaurant find a new place to open up at preferably one that is close by and they deliver to Hayward.

Toned down flavors for American palate .. spicy one was kind of sweet? but overall ok to give it a try .

This would be the last time I will review a review for this restaurant will close first week of April 2024. They have the BEST mapo tofu and shrimp in lobster sauce for you wont find it anywhere else. The owners are very nice. They do have lunch special from 11:30am to 3:00pm. Give this 5 star restaurant a try and leave a review.

Unfortunately it's not a welcoming vibe. Guy in front is very rude. They don't have lunch specials. Surprised this place can make it? Wanted a cup of soup while sitting down to dine. They only offer a large family size?? I won't be returning.

The service was pretty slow . And there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. The food was decent.

My wife and I were stuck at home with Covid and didn't want to order another pizza, and we don't use dordash. We were very pleasantly surprised to find out Joyful House delivers! Great food, great prices, and they deliver! FIVE STARS!

My go to is the Hong Kong pan fried noodles with seafood and the salted egg pork chop. Big portions. Owners are lovely. Also weird that Google Maps deleted their old business and reviews. Been going here for years!

Looks like google maps randomly deleted the old listing? I checked and it's the same Joyful House with the same owners as it's been for the past 10 years. Can't imagine getting takeout anywhere else in CV :)Parking: Parking behind restaurant.

Indeed much joy obtained from this house. Cheese puffs and salt and pepper fish are good.
My husband and I were wandering around and wanted some Chinese food, other than the worst 88 baobab location in CV or the HK BBQ place that we always go for when I don't feel like cooking. Turns out maybe we should avoid these adventures...Someone's smoking in the back kitchen and you can just smell that. Hard to flag someone as they were busy chatting...Black Beans Sauce Shrimp, is more of "black beans sauce onion, pepper" literally only few shrimps... The oil in my eggplant rice, I could probably cook 2+ more dishes ?

Best Chinese food that I have had in a long time. Nice staff. The dinner meals are a lot of food and really good way to try many things .

There was no one in the place when we arrived but the phone rang a lot for to go. We had the family dinner C with orange chicken, brocolli beef, rice and chow mean with won ton soup. We also got chow fun, fried prawns, egg rolls and won tons. Good sauces, fresh produce and tasty crispy. We will go again.

We've ordered dilivery from here several times and were really pleased. Recently we decided to dune in and happy we did. Everything came out so hot we needed burned our tongues being impatient and not waiting for it to cool off. It was soooo good. The staff was amazing, we wanted for nothing. We'll be back!
