Joy Hing B.B.Q - Reviews

My experience at this cafe was very pleasant. The portion size was surprisingly large, described as 'huge' and 'very generous, ' making it incredibly filling. The cafe itself was quiet with few visitors, contributing to a very pleasant atmosphere. The food was rated highly, and the atmosphere was also excellent.

I discovered this place on Instagram and added it to my Chinatown must-visit list. The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone's cravings. Walking in and hearing the "uncs and aunties yappin" was a great sign of authenticity! The Satay Beef Noodle soup was fantastic, with a unique, unidentifiable spice that made it stand out from other beef noodle soups I've tried. While I expected a taste closer to Bun Bo Hue, it was something different yet very tasty. The cucumbers in the soup were a surprising and welcome addition. The chicken wings arrived piping hot and crunchy, though the chicken itself lacked flavor. I would definitely order the chow fun again; the beef had a pleasant smokiness. I was happy that the spot accepts cards, saving me an ATM trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.

I tried the wings with the special sauce. They were good, but in my opinion, not worth coming back for.

My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative. The food lacked any flavor, and while the prices were okay, they were definitely not worth the quality of the food. The service was horrible; the server did not check on us once because they were eating while working. The only time I got their attention was to get the bill. When I paid, I left a $3 tip because the service and food were so bad. To my shock, the server yelled at me for not leaving a 10% tip. I strongly advise others to avoid this horrible place. NEVER AGAIN!

My experience at this restaurant was marked by a dingy atmosphere and a particularly unpleasant service interaction. The individual working the register, who also served as the server, demanded a 15% tip for our party of three. He even attempted to prevent me from leaving until the tip was paid. If you enjoy being told how much to tip, this might be the place for you.

My experience at this restaurant was delightful! I found it to be the best canto food in chinatown. The dishes were authentic, fresh, and truly relishing. The atmosphere was delightfully cozy, making for a very pleasant dinner. I especially loved their rice and noodle dishes, where you could tell they were made with love❤️💯💯.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. The service was quick, and the wonton soup I ordered was very nice. It was popular with other diners too. They accept card payments.

This place slaps! It’s a family-owned restaurant. The shrimp (spring) rolls were HUGE and sooo delicious with that peanut sauce! I ate them all. They added a hefty amount of high quality basil to them which made them Soooo. Good. The shrimp was fresh, too, not fishy at all in the slightest which I was scared of because I get turned off easily from seafood due to that. The noodles were super good and I asked for something off-menu and they were happy to make it for me (BBQ beef noodles). Large portions. The beef was tender and the broth flavorful. It’s also a great place if you’re looking for a quieter atmosphere.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was simply not tasty, to the point where I had no desire to even start my plate. It also looked messy. The service was even worse. The old guy serving us was rude. We barely touched our plates, and when I decided to pay the check, I left $0 tips, of course. That dude then came up to me and started yelling for no tips left. Wtffff.

I had a great experience at this restaurant, especially since I forgot my wallet and needed a place that accepted Apple/Google Pay. I ordered the pho gai with chicken organs, which was a happy surprise as it's rare to find chicken organs on the menu. The food arrived fairly quickly and the portion was decent. The auntie who greeted me was very friendly and spoke Canto, Mando, and English. The recently remodeled space is spacious and clean. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're craving Vietnamese-Chinese food.
