This place has very generous portions for the price and the food is great! One of my favorite hole in wall places.
Honestly a little scary looking from the outside, was nervous to try it but I was surprised!! Probably one of the most delicious chow M I've tasted. The fried rice well cooked not very greasy and good taste, I ordered chicken with vegetables and super good too! I can not comment on the rest yet but I give 5 stars
Very good food I recommend it 💯 percent nice service and has a good prices too
Today I crave a good Chinese place to go eat with my wife and I call a good friend of mine to tell him to recommend me a good place to eat Chinese food. He told me about this place and my surprise that this place I never been to and past by there so many times was actually really good. I will definitely go back soon. And the price was really good too.
I had a wonton soup and it hit the spot
Food is always good. Their fried shrimp is delicious. Their crab roll is the best. Their egg rolls are legit perfect. All their food is good but by far their best is the beef and broccoli. Highly recommend you to try their beef and broccoli. The brocoli is always perfect not soggy or overcooked. It always has the best vibrant green color.
Wow! Super impressed - amazing pricing, tons of food and it tastes great. It's also pretty roomy and airy for a chinese spot. I scoped two others before choosing here so I'm pretty picky. Choose this place!
Decided to stop by before heading to work. I grabbed spicy wings, orange chicken, fried rice, and chow mein. Everything was delicious. I even bought Chow mein to go for lunch later. Also, just an FYI, it is cash only.
So here is the thing about Joy Wok, you either love them - or you love them! They have been around since the early 90's when they were located behind "El Farallon" in Lynwood - next to a liquor in that huge shopping center (that's now a school) on MLK Jr. Blvd. Then they moved to a random place in South Gate. Then they moved again to where they are located currently! As a lifelong fan I must say this is the best chinese food spot there is and you will find. Their food is best when fresh but even when it isn't it's just so tasty. The original cooks from way back when it seems are not here anymore but it seems it may have been a family business and recipes because the food still tastes the same. Other chinese food spots have cold chinese food, bad after taste, dry sometimes, you can tell it's old - not JOY WOK! Trust me. Try them and you will not be dissappointed. I recommend a combo with two sides: Half Chow Mein, Half Fried Rice - black pepper chicken and orange chicken. Oh and if your feeling fat like me!? Add a Mongolian Beef (it takes about 10 more minutes for this order but it's worth it cause they make it fresh!) They close Sundays but try them out any other day of the week. Trust me. This is not your mediocre mom's and pops chinese food spot. It's delicious oh and you can also order their food for parties!
It is one of my best places to get some good'ol' Chinese fast food. Bring cash as it is cash only. Food is hot and usually recently made. I have been coming here for a long time, and it has never failed me. Chow mein here is my favorite from many others I tasted. Orange chicken is great. Also, my favorite, jalapeño chicken is also great. Would recommend!
