Had subpar reviews but it’s actually really good orange chicken. Nice fry and crunch on it, not soggy, and they have the lunch and dinner special with appetizer combo. Honestly amazing Chinese takeout. BBQ pork/beef is also very nice.

Ol’ reliable. Compared with other places with similarly convenient hours and affordable prices, it’s the best I’ve found in the area. Solid food, reliable, and good people!
Rice comes separately, so if you want you can cook it at home to save money, and I like having the option of small or large portions. Someone else (“RK”) left a review whining about not getting enough duck sauce. Well, guess what genius - a separate 2oz container of duck sauce is clearly available on the menu for a very small price! The menu is very modular and I like it that way, I save money and nothing gets wasted.
The gyoza are fantastic. For noodle fans I’d recommend their pan fried noodles over the lo mein. Pretty much everything I’ve gotten here is good though. Nothing fancy, but if you’re in the mood for Chinese takeout, especially later at night, it’s my go to!

Takeout. Fast. Trends American style/greasy. We ordered because our usual places were closed (July 4th week).
Probably won't get again, 2 of the 8 people who ate the takeout had GI issues afterward, but perhaps it was from the abundance of separately sourced watermelon. I was fine.
Singapore noodles have good flavor/mild heat, small shrimps, pork. Personal favorite of everything we got. Scallion pancakes and crab rangoon - standard. House dumplings were meh Lo mein vegetable was bland beef and broc was as expected, as was the sesame chicken. Chicken fried rice was not exceptional. Shumai was liked by spouse, but I thought was just ok.
Order was accurate and well packaged, an abundance of fortune cookies.
Parking: Strip mall location has shared parking which can be tricky to back out of, and is often full, but spots turn over often. Street parking is also possible at times, though it is on relatively busy Somerville Ave. Many spots are residential only.

Typical Chinese takeout spot with subpar food.Recently stumbled Upton this place while getting an ice cream nearby. From the outside, it looked okay, but the food overall was below that of standard Chinese takeout joints.The meat dishes, specifically the Spicy Salt & Pepper Pork Chop and Chicken Wings, were quite disappointing. Both appeared to be made from frozen meats, which resulted in a dry and unappetizing texture. The wings were particularly underwhelming, with brittle bones chopped at awkward angles. Its sharp edges and small bone fragments made it challenging to eat, and I ended up throwing out half of it.The rice dishes, the Beef Fried Rice and the House Special Fried Rice, were also mediocre at best. The rice texture in both dishes seemed off, likely due to the use of undercooked frozen rice, and the flavors were lackluster.Thankfully, some of their other protein dishes like the Egg Foo Young Shrimp and Mapo Tofu were decent. The Egg Foo Young, though not particularly fluffy, was somewhat redeemed by a savory Chinese gravy sauce.While Chow N Joy may suffice for a quick, no-frills Chinese meal, I would recommend going to Zoe’s nearby for a more quality Chinese food.

This place stinks. Food is incredibly sub par for the price and you can get better Asian food anywhere around. It is really that bad, u can make better food in my kitchen out of scraps. This is a last resort for late night drunchies. Terrible. Please go somewhere

I was getting Uber from here but the food order was very small so I tried take out to see if they would give more but the same. Very disappointing with the amount they give. Better going somewhere else
