I came across this place on Yelp and I was in the mood for Chinese so we stopped in. It gives you that old-school 90s Chinese restaurant vibe. When we arrived the lady told us to sit at a booth, good thing we didn't want a table. We sat and noticed that the same lady was pretty much running the whole joint. I mean she was seating guests, taking orders, and cleaning tables. I wouldn't be surprised if she was also preparing the food! I ordered the General Tso's Chicken with fried rice. My wife got the War Su Gai and fried rice. The food came out pretty quickly and it was nice and hot. The General Tso's chicken was nice and crispy, just the way I like it! Sadly, I cannot say the same for the rice. Even though it was vegetable fried rice it was a little dry until I mixed it in with the General Tso's sauce. If I return I would probably get lo mein noodles instead of fried rice. General Tso's Chicken 1-5=4. Fried Rice 1-5=2.5. Customer Service 1-5=4.

We used to love going to Joey Chang's. There are food was well prepared and service was attentive. The last few times we have been the food while still good was not as good as it used to be but the service was terrible. We went about a month ago and had to wait for 15 minutes to be seated. Today we attempted to go but waited at the entrance for 10 minutes to be seated with no one in the restaurant and ended up leaving because no one came out. We could hear at least one person in the back but the collection of four of us waited and were not served.

We stopped again tonight, and the food was excellent as always.The service, however, was uncharacteristically miserable. The server brought the wrong spring roll and I had to ask for and wait for hot mustard. Our entrees took a very long time to arrive (only after asking a hostess to ask our waiter where they were and after three tables who had arrived after we had ordered had received theirs). We never saw the server again; our waters were never refilled and two different people brought carry-out boxes and several minutes later our check.This was an anomaly and we will return, but if this is the new normal, we wont continue to do so.

Joey Chang's has a special place in my heart as the Chinese food I grew up on. Although I no longer live in Columbus, whenever I visit my parents there it's always our go-to place for a nice family dinner. I always order the Shredded Chicken with Garlic sauce, perfect texture and flavor. Other favorites include the Kung Pao Chicken, Mala Lamb, and Pataya shrimp, and all the soups. Thanks for many delicious meals and memories over the years!

Joey Chang's offers a quality nice atmosphere for dining. If you're looking for a nice dining experience this may be the spot for you. I've been coming here for years. The food is excellent.

I came in with a group of 6. As I walked in, I noticed 2 other people in front of me also waiting to be seated. After 10 minutes, I walked around and found the waitress sitting at some table eating while people were waiting. After I let her know, it took an extra 10 minutes before she came to the counter and began seating. The service was very slow, and I had to ask the waitress 3 separate times for the drink I ordered (by which point I had almost finished eating). We decided the service was mediocre, and gave 10% tips each (some of us had eaten lighter meals averaging $10, while others ate full meals averaging $16). A couple of us still gave larger tips, as the food was decent. The waitress picked up the receipts while we were still seated and began cleaning, and after seeing the tips, promptly began yelling and cursing at us for tipping low (which was due to the poor service). She told us not to return to the restaurant, and that she hoped we would end up being waiters who were also tipped poorly. She then promptly slammed the receipts in their carriers on the table, and walked away, only to return 5 minutes later to get the plates and continue berating us and telling us to leave. Even as we were walking away, she continued to yell at us and scream not to come back. Tl:dr extremely rude elderly waitress who screams and complains about tips, curses at customers, and has absolutely no professionalism. Terrible service.

This place used be owned by a different owner but has changed in a bad way. When we walked in there was no one to greet you at the door like there used to be. The strangest thing I noticed was our food was cold and it was cold inside. This place needs to be checked marked by the heath department??. For this reason there is no way the food was fresh because it came out in less than eight minutes! I'm wondering if the food was microwaved because the brown rice definetly was the kind from the already cooked package. Noticing also that the portions are lunch size at dinner. The green curry way horribily watered down no spices and more onions than vegetables with just less then a half cup of rice. Definetly tasted a week old. I was still hungry not enough for what you pay for. People please slow down stop hurrying I want my food hot, fresh and cooked and done right. We came before dinner time and before the rush so There is no excuse for this laziness...

Great food, good service. I went with several friends for lunch and we lingered way too long. But they never tried to hurry us up.

Went to this place for lunch alone and ordered a dish and a side. The food wasn’t great but I gave one star was because of the service made me really uncomfortable. The lady waited me to sign the receipt and checked how much tip while I was still sitting on the table. She missed seeing the tip I wrote and told me to tip which I already did. I have NEVER went to a restaurant where people would check how much I tip while I was still sitting there, made me really uncomfortable and felt this was really really rude. (The food weren’t for me, I feel the rice smelled really bad and has a weird taste and I didn’t finish 1/3of it)
First visit but NOT my last!WOW!Terrific selection & variety of everything!Loved the veggie dumplings!Kind excellent service.

Did not like the mushy shrimp in the won ton soup. Basically everything else was good, hot and fresh.

My friend held a party here for 35 people. They had a huge table set up to fit about 30 people and another smaller to accommodate the rest. The food was good. My favorite was the firecracker chicken and mala green beans. Everything came out warm; however, service was a bit slow. It was great to find out that they are able to cater to people who have halal (zabeha) needs. You just have to call ahead and let them know your preference.

Friends from out of state came up for a visitation trip. They are vegetarian, and I try to find restaurants that have more than one or two choices. JC's has over a half page of the menu that is vegetarian-friendly.We ordered the vegetable dumplings and a vegetable spring roll with vegetable soup in a clear broth. I tried the dumplings with the accompanying sauce and it was very good. They ordered deep-fried tofu in a brown sauce that I've tried before that was delicious. I ordered won ton soup and there were delicate wontons swimming with a few tender shrimps, onion, and carrots. It was delightful!My entree was the cashew chicken. I think it was one of the top five renderings of this dish I've had in my life. I'm sure if you've tried cashew chicken at other establishments, you may have received perhaps a dozen half-pieces of cashews for the entire dish. Not this dish! Combined with the crunchy water chestnuts and I was one happy friar!Happy eating!
