The food was awful. Dried out dumplings. Rangoons were all wrapping hardly any filling.

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!

This is a traditional mom and pop Chinese restaurant with no frills but surprisingly great food. The egg foo young was outstanding and the portions were abundant. A little pricey but well worth the value. Only one lady does all the packaging, so the wait is a bit too long. However, it is still a great value for the city of Galesburg.

Delicious food at reasonable prices, staff is nice and the food is made pretty fast! Great for last minute dinners or days you just don't wanna cook.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! I ordered to go, and the service was prompt and friendly when i arrived to pick it up. Would prefer to dine in next time just because the place looked very quaint and peaceful. Once I got home the General Tso chicken (C-21) was absolutely amazing! Will have again!
