I do. Agree with some of the reviews and comments. The food did not seem to be the best but it has been corrected. I have had nothing but great service from them.Even when they messed up in order he was professional and corrected it. I would definitely suggest joy garden. Is keep up the good work you Get to know your customers better as the time goes on. If you have had a bad experience, try them again.They are great.

My neighbor and I decided to have Joy Garden for supper on my birthday. I was very disappointed. I am not at all impressed with the food being served by the new owners

The egg rolls were soggy and hard to eat. As I was waiting at the counter, I saw a large pan of egg rolls sitting in the kitchen. It appeared they were already cooked and stacked waiting to be served

The fortune cookies were inedible because they were so soggy or old, not sure which.

I had chicken chow mein and it had no flavor at all, even though I did add a small amount of soy sauce before I ate it.

I won't be going back. I would rather go to Hy-Vee, buy it from the food case and reheat it when I get home.

First time trying Joy Garden! It was very good. My crab ragoons didn’t have much filling and was mostly just the wrapping, but everything else was so good! Prices were great too.

The food isn't even close to what it used to be.The egg rolls are raw cabbage to tough to chew. Vegetables raw and chicken chow main is garlic chicken? Sorry to say I won't joy garden again after 15 yrs!

joy garden has been a favorite of mine since 2020. they recently got new ownership - the new owners are very nice and super kind. the food has definitely changed though with the new ownership. previously I wouldve rated the food 5 stars, but now I'd give it 2 stars. I got my usual twice recently - kung pao chicken and boiled dumplings. some of the boiled dumplings were cold and some were kinda warm. the kung pao chicken had only a few small pieces of chicken, was mostly large cut veggies, and had a lot less sauce than before. the sauce was also less spicy and flavorful. with the new ownership, food quality has definitely gone down while prices remain on the middle higher end. does it taste decent? yes. but for $18+ dollars id rather go to one of the chinese buffets in galesburg. hoping to see better food quality in the future.

Joy Garden is a phenomenal Chinese (Canon & Hunan Szechuan Dishes) restaurant that has wonderful main dishes (Ex: Mongolian Pork and Beef) and appetizers (Ex: Fried Shrimp and Chicken Wings) that are plentiful with flavor and spices. It's the best Chinese Restaurant in Galesburg and Knox County, IL!
