I have been going here for about 10 yrs or longer. Sadly very recently my family and I noticed that they have been serving smaller portions, and the flavour is lacking since they hired new cooks.
Even though I have asked them about it twice, they never admit to it and say its always been that way. My family has stopped coming altogether, but I decided to cut back on coming there often but still visit.
Today I wanted to try again and even ordered my favourite dish. Not only was the portion small and a corner empty (which they never did in the past) the noodles were flavourless and overcooked. I will be throwing the noodles away. The chicken eggrolls and curry chicken were good in flavour though, But not worth coming back.
Sad to say goodbye to this place.

The staff is very friendly and very patient. This was helpful for the children that were ordering. They were able to accommodate seating changes as well. The food was all very good, especially the shrimp with lobster sauce.
Vegetarian options: When looking at the menu they had a good selection of vegetarian options that weren't just sides. Ma la string beans and broccoli with garlic sauce are really good if you like a bit of spice.
Parking: There's usually open spots right in front of the diner. If there's an event you might have to park further down, but it's a short walk.
Kid-friendliness: The menu is broken up by protein making it easy for kids to narrow down what they would like to eat. The staff is very patient and will explain clearly what is in the dish making it easy for selective eaters to find something.
Wheelchair accessibility: The door is standard size allowing for most chairs to fit through and there is only a slight bump for the sill. The tables are going to be slightly low for some people, but if you have a tray or have okay reach it shouldn't be a huge issue. All tables and chairs are moveable and staff are willing and able to provide assistance if needed. For the folks with service dogs who would like to sit further from the dining traffic there's a table space towards the front corner of the diner that offers more privacy. There's plenty of room for a medium to large size dog to sit and lay comfortably without being disturbed.

The food tastes great but the portion sizes are lacking. I have been ordering here for years and this is the 1st time I have felt like I didn't get my monies worth. This lunch portion was $9 and came with 1 crab rangoon. I love the woman who takes orders and checks people out, she is so friendly!

I decided to DoorDash from joy Food and was terribly disappointed in the quality, quantity and price. I got the Mongolian beef and an order of crab Rangoon. The beef was very chewy and clearly lower grade beef. The crab Rangoon tasted like it had sweet-and-sour sauce mixed in with it, which I didn’t like the taste of, not to mention as you’ll see in my photos the amount of filling in the crab Rangoon was ridiculously small. I will say that the loin was good but since I paid over $30 for this meal, which again as you’ll see from the pictures was a very small portion considering Chinese food is usually quite generous. Overall, I was quite disappointed

Absolutely delicious! Delicious delicious delicious. Sesame chicken was made with chicken breast and the best sauce I've had anywhere in town. Crab Rangoons- delicious. Hot and sour soup- delicious. Staff were super friendly and the place was super clean. Will absolutely be back!

Ordered takeout over the phone. Food was fresh and good! I had general tso and crab rangoons. Only thing I'd change is to add some vegetables to the rice or entrees. But not a big deal. Lady at the counter was super nice! They've added things to the menu from customer requests. Will definitely order again.

This place is very close to where I work. We frequent this place for office lunches. Food is tasty and priced very well. Typically their lunch order is only about $7.50 which is cheaper than Subway or any of those fast food type places. The owner/lady who works at the counter is friendly and ensures a great customer experience.

Joy Food's General Tso's Chicken was a delightful experience. The crispy, tender chicken pieces were perfectly coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that struck a harmonious balance between sweet and spicy. Each bite was a burst of savory goodness, complemented by a medley of fresh vegetables that added both texture and freshness to the dish. The portion size was generous, ensuring a satisfying meal. The service was prompt, and the food arrived piping hot. Joy Food's General Tso's Chicken truly delivered on its promise of joy through food, making it a must-try for anyone craving delicious Chinese cuisine.
