Horrible Service,food not was not good,I never want to come back to this horrible “restaurant”

Horrible experience. Terrible service. The food is too greasy and the place looks really dirty. I would rate it a 0/5 if I could. Never coming back to this restaurant.

I got catfished by the website photos 🤦‍♂️

Look I don’t want to bash a restaurant, hence why I’m still giving 4 stars… and let’s be honest, even mediocre dumplings are still better than most food options out there.

But there’s a lot of room for improvement so I’ll keep things honest and maybe someone will care enough to use the feedback.

Let’s start with the good stuff… the garlic green beans were why far the best part of the meal. Huge portion, cooked perfectly, and stole the show.

Overall, very reasonable prices but if day charge more and increase quality and freshness of the food. Maybe it’s just not the best area to increase prices so I get it.

I went to this spot for the duck… but it looked nothing like the website photo. No crisp and mostly bone… just go with something else because duck isn’t this spots strong suit.

I’m 99% sure the Xiao Long Bao were straight outa the frozen goods aisle at Costco.

Rule of thumb for the future… if a dumpling spot isn’t making the dumplings out in the open, just find a new spot or don’t order dumplings.

Now I gotta say, they over delivered on the potion size of the shrimp fried rice portion but not many shrimp to be found in the pile of rice.

Overall, good spot if you’re high as a kite and looking for some affordable and big portion sizes to kill your Asian food craving. But if you’re looking for some fresh dumplings, you’ll find a better option 8 miles away over in San Marcos.

Very good dumplings and try the green beans.

The best! Whenever we are in town, we come here. Food is authentic and full of flavor... So many different flavors! I don't agree with some of the other reviews about greasy food and bad service. Joyee dumpling has delicious food and very fast service. The food comes to the table sooo hot, right off the stove. The portions are huge!

This place has fantastic dumplings. I haven't tried anything else here yet because I am fixated on the pork and shrimp dumplings. So good. Really good.

The cashier charged an extra tip without any notice or authorization!！

I had lunch at this restaurant when it was not busy—only three tables were occupied. During the meal, I tried to get the waiter’s attention to order more food. I waved and called out to him several times, but he was wearing headphones and never looked up to check if any customers needed assistance. There was absolutely no service—I had to walk to the cashier’s counter just to speak with him.

Because of the poor service, I decided not to leave an 18% tip, but I still left a reasonable 15-16% tip.

To my surprise, I later found out that the cashier charged me more tip without informing me! I’ve attached both the receipt and my credit card statement as proof.

It’s not about the few extra dollars—it’s about the dishonesty and fraudulent behavior. Given the lack of service and the unauthorized charge, I’m extremely upset.

This is a very untrustworthy place. I’m sharing my experience so others won’t fall into the same trap.

The food was decent and the flavor was acceptable, but the service was completely unacceptable. Throughout our entire visit, the server was wearing AirPods and barely responded when we tried to get their attention. It was frustrating.

What’s worse and completely unacceptable, is that after we left a standard tip (not low, just normal), we later discovered that the restaurant illegally added extra tip charges to our credit card without our consent. This is a blatant violation of trust and extremely dishonest behavior.

I feel deeply offended and scammed by this kind of action. I consider it’s fraudulent.I strongly advise others to check their statements carefully if you choose to eat here.

Pork fried rice was delicious. There was so much if it, of course we had leftovers. I enjoyed it the second day, unfortunately my gut did not. It seemed like food poisoning.It was delivered.

The food is really good and service is nice. The restaurant is also clean

Was originally a 5 star review. But quality is slowly dropping and the staff is not as friendly. I would avoid any dim-sum as this is not their strong suit.

If you do order pick up through their app, they DO NOT notify you when food is ready. ETA was 40 minutes for the food to be ready, so I waited 40 minutes expecting to recieve a notification. Nope, I arrive and my, plus 4 or 5 other orders are waiting bagged up on the counter. The food was really gross due to this. Why take down phone number and email at order entry if you dont bother using it to notify customers? Really disappointed, especially for the near $60 price tag.

Not fond of places that impose tips, dumplings smelled like wet Dog food.

Salt and pepper fish and shrimp were really good though.

Service was good enough
