Joy City

I was staying in the area and happened across this Chinese resto. Walked over from the hotel. I was surprised at some of the real authentic Chinese menu items offered and specials. Different kinds of crab and things like pork belly and the porridge even on the menu. There was of course all the normal American faves, like sweet and sour stuff and egg rolls. As I sat there I saw most of the to go orders were for the American style foods and the people sitting in the restaurant were getting the more authentic stuff. I got the Chicken fried rice with salty fish which was recommended to me by an Asian friend and pork belly braised, cause anything pork belly I love. The food here is fantastic, but I can see getting food to go you'll lose some of the experience of the food ... just like to go pizza is never as good as dine in pizza all fresh and hot.

Food was great and price was nice. Ordered the salted fish and chicken fried rice, steamed chicken with ginger & green onion ( excellent) chicken porridge ( very flavorful) and chicken marsala Chrooma soup. Will visit again...fast friendly service.

We love Hot and Sour soup and find too many recipes lacking. N Joy's Hot and Sour is excellent. We have enjoyed everything we tried and the only food that is not extra excellent is the spring rolls. This is a must do for asian food lovers. Staff is extremely attentive and service oriented.
