    Came on a Sunday night around 6pm and was seated right away. After ordering the food came out so fast and in large portions. The potstickers and chicken fried rice were my favorite! I found myself getting thirds of the fried rice and eventually cleaning the plate. The pan fried noodles had too much sauce and the cucumbers were lacking salt and vinegar. I loved how the menu had plenty of pictures.

    Went here on a Friday night with my friends. The restaurant was relatively empty and so it was very quick to get seated and have our food arrive. However, although not a bad thing, the ambience was pretty bland. But the food was good and price was reasonable. Water was 8.5/10

    Jumping jubilee and joyous jumbo jinks... it's Joy Taiwanese restaurant. Or is it Joy's Taiwan style... The possessive form of the name is on the paper take-away menu, but it's printed as Joy on the business card. Not dissimilar to the Pike (versus Pike's) Place words smithing, some might wonder about the Seattle attraction its proper title. And the answer in that case is Pike; no apostrophe, no "s". Here at Joy (or Joy's), Jade is overjoyed to find the joyful food and ample portions extensively enjoyable. A very helpful nice touch is that Joy's menu is, half-way through, a picture booklet. Several popular dishes caption with large photos so you have a precise idea what the food looks like. Not every item had this though, including the seafood I ordered: fish in black bean sauce. The fillets were nicely generous and plentiful, but all the fish was battered and fried so the texture was unexpected. Obviously that's the signature way they prepare it, whereas I was hoping for a moist tender flakey fish sauté execution not anything hard fried. I should have thought to inquire more about it first.. Nevertheless, the fish was indeed tasty. Chung Hua pot stickers are also different than the ones you get at most other Chinese restaurants. They are long dumplings -- almost the form factor of an egg roll -- lined up in a row of six then crispy fried altogether. Not for the faint of cholesterol heart. Absolutely delectable nonetheless. Black mushrooms and baby bok choy is an excellent veggie order. Every piece was cooked to peak ideal texture in a lovely smooth opaque sauce and tantalising tender fresh. Chefs here bring out the joy in eating vegetables. Spacious open comfy dining room, busy busy place, but tables turn fast. Service and staff are congenial, efficient, courteous, and food arrived promptly after ordering. Whether "Joy" or Joy's, matters not. I am joy-tastically jolly over this savoury juggernaut of Taiwanese cuisine.

    I've been missing Taiwanese food for a long while, and I've noticed that there aren't a lot of Taiwanese restaurants in the area. Good thing I have Joy Restaurant in my city! I got the braised beef noodle soup, the house special chicken with Thai basil, and the pan fried noodles with assorted proteins (shrimp, beef, and chicken). The chicken with Thai basil was a flavor I've missed for a while now and brought me some nostalgia, and the beef noodle soup was really flavorful and a bit sweet. The soup was fairly heavy and oily, but nevertheless still satisfying on a cold night. The pan fried noodles were enjoyable, with some crispy bits throughout the dish. Portions are big and definitely meant for groups. Service was also really really good. The person helping us was friendly and bilingual in both Chinese and English, which was really helpful. He also personally helped with putting the leftovers in boxes. Definitely need to come back, and I'll get the stinky tofu! Not a lot of places to get that in the area, and it's a nostalgic food for me. :)
