“Decided to try a new dish somewhere new to me. This was the best of Chinese options. Small. Unpretentious. Cheap. My entire lunch special was $6.99. I can't remember what I last saw prices like this, and the food was great. A little sweet. A little spicy.“

“Moving my reviews off Yelp. This one was originally published in 2016 but I was back multiple times. Great place!

I had never heard of this place before a yelp friend suggested we go there for lunch. Now that I know about them, I will certainly be back. In fact, I've already decided which of my customers will be my next lunch invite to the place.

I had a soup & sandwich combo. I was expecting a smaller portion of each that would add up to a whole meal. What I got was more like a whole sandwich and a bowl of soup with a fresh pretzel breadstick. Probably a meal and a half.

Everything was delicious! The au jus that came with their interpretation of a French dip was beefy without being overly salty. The bread was soft with a nice bit of chewiness. The beef was not the star of the sandwich and that was a little bit of a letdown. The high point though was the cheese. French dip is generally a very tasty sandwich but everything is better with brie! I also had their roasted red pepper soup. I probably should have consumed it first but I got really excited by the sandwich and that plan went right out the window. I did finish my soup and I enjoyed the salty, chewy breadstick very much. I ate more than I had planned to eat for lunch but everything was just so good!

A few quick observations:

* They seem to develop a line to the door at lunch. Go early, go late or plan to wait.
* Don't do the soup & sandwich unless you're really hungry.
* They have small brownies for a buck or so. I'm trying to avoid eating dessert with lunch these days but they were awfully tempting.“

“The best beef fried rice around. Fair prices and great service.“

“Love the food, love the friendly service. if this is your first time ordering take your time. there’s a lot to choose from. he will help you with whatever you need. if it is your second time he will more than likely remember your order, and always remembers his customers will always go back“

“Fantastic sandwiches and a fair price. Bread is outstanding!“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service!“

“I love this cafe! It is so tremendously helpful to have a wonderful cafe within the Garden, so that you can pause for lunch or a snack when spending the day there. They have a small but excellent menu of soups, salads, and sandwiches, always with at least one vegan and several vegetarian options. Whether you sit inside or outside, you have stunning views of the Garden, which is lovely. Highly recommend!“

“Bread bowls lately are a disappointment, no matter which soup I try in it. Bread is tasteless and kind of wrinkles up. I don't know how to explain it. This has always been my favorite thing to get there, even in the summer but the ladt 4 times, the bread was a disappointment.“

“St. Louis Bread is one of my favorite lunch spots. I absolutely love the artichoke sandwiches. The people are always friendly and get your order out fast.“

“My family love like 👍 good food 🍱“

“I have been coming to Joy Luck for many many years. In all the times I have patroned this restaurant, it has NEVER disappointed. The atmosphere is classy yet comfortable with the perfect amount of lighting and an aroma of freshly made cuisine that gets your mouth watering as soon as you enter. As for the food; I have occasionally ordered an entrée, which was absolutely perfectly prepared, but I mostly order the buffet. The buffet is quite possibly the best in St. Louis. It continuously has the freshest selections from their salad items all the way to their hot foods. No matter the time or day, I walk out, not only impressed, but left wishing I had not gotten that last plate. It is absolutely delicious. The staff who see you are taken care of are attentive and eager to assist you in any way they can. I never thirst for a refill, that's for sure!! Overall, Joy Luck is by far one of the best restaurants in St. Louis I have ever experienced, and I look forward to my next visit.“

“The service was great! They brought the food to the table. They cleared the table and wiped it down for us. They put the plates away. The food was good too.“

“Staff is always friendly and the food is good. My only real gripe is I miss the fireplaces. Always made for coziness.“

“Came for a fundraiser and food was yummy. Amber was so nice and helpful.“

“Staff was very knowledgeable and attentive to their customers. Im not a huge breakfast person, but I like their lunch options. Today I went and tried the Wake and Steak and was very impressed. I always felt it was a little on the pricey side, but the food you get is well worth it. Will be trying again. Wife had the Benny Ham crasaunt. Photos attached of first opening.“
