You know what...we both took 1 bite and said, "this is the best Chinese food we have had un 30 years."Our daughter said, "this is the best tofu ever! Can we come back tomorrow?"If you are traveling through then you have to make this a priority!

Excellent food and service. They were able to accommodate the need for a gluten free dish. The very generous portions made a great lunch the following day.Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: I'm a Celiac, they were able to accommodate my order, and I didn't have any reaction.

If I could post less than I did, I would the owner since Mr. and Mrs. Hom is horrible. She tells me it’s my fault that I messed up my order that she took specifically yelled at me about it and continued to yell at me about it when I asked for her to correct it place is a joke. Do not go there. The food is awful. Now in the service is even worse.

The best Chinese food in the Upper Valley is made here.I'm not from here and when I moved here I was so sad that I couldn't find good Chinese food - until I found Joy Wah. After one visit I decided to host my birthday party here.Yes - they have a party room.As for me and my house in NH, this is our Chinese food spot.

Hidden gem in a relatively small town. Great service and good food better than we can usually get.
We have driven past Joy Wah many times over the last decade and finally gave it a try this past weekend. Given the mixed reviews I saw on Yelp, I was hopeful but did not set my expectations very high. As others have said, the decor is a bit dated but the restaurant was clean. The river view made up for the outdated decor.I made a reservation as recommended by the website since we had a party of 6. Several tables were occupied but there seemed to be plenty of availability. We were seated immediately and our waiter asked us what beverages we wanted. He took our order and the food came out efficiently and piping hot.We ordered egg rolls and vegetable potstickers for appetizers. Both were delicious. The dumplings came with a yummy dipping sauce. I tried to choose items that were more authentic/home style or items that my family usually orders at a Chinese restaurant in NYC Chinatown. Entrees included pork fried rice (no soy sauce), scallops with pea pods with ginger/scallion, walnut prawns, bean curd with vegetables, chow mei fun (aka subgum rice noodles), and sesame chicken (for the kids). The waiter was very accommodating as I asked for “white” fried rice (no soy sauce), the mei fun which I did not see on the menu and less sodium in all the dishes. Everything was delicious. My only negative comment is that the sauce in the bean curd dish was too salty. Other than that, we were all impressed with the quality of the food and had leftovers.Our interactions with other employees were positive as well. One of the female employees let my kids keep some Christmas origami decorations they saw by the Christmas tree up front. Another lady appreciated my kids’ admiring her goldfish tank.We had a great experience and will be back soon!

We have gone to Joy Way for over 35 years, but won't go back again, after several attempts hoping for improvement. Saturday night dinner: the place was empty, no tablecloths covering old tacky tables, paper napkins, no fried noodles or sauce offered, had to ask for tea and two cups, waiter was in a hurry for our orders. Appetizer and dinner came together within four minutes of us ordering. How can that be? Pad Thai was coral in color, with minuscule protein, sesame chicken was loaded with sauce, chicken was unrecognizable in a heavy coating breading, the vegetable rolls were poor in quantity, filling and taste.
