Good Joy

Most importantly — fast, reliable, quick, great delivery service — regardless of weather or time!!! Definitely worth extra tips to the delivery crew…
More importantly — delicious food — I love soup noodles. They customize for me :)

Reliable as a rock, and dead quick. We’ve been ordering from them for 10 years, and the only thing that’s changed with them is their awning. The food is reliably consistent. I won’t lie and say it’s the best, but when you want NYC chinese takeout, this has always been solid. The people there have always been great, and the delivery guy nothing but friendly.

Good neighborhood Chinese food! Not the best but certainly ok for the casual chicken and broccoli or garlic sauce etc. The key here is to ask for what you want. Example: Me «Boneless spare ribs well done I like them crispy under the broiler» Counter Person (Smile) «Yes they are the best like that, I got you». Now I know what your thinking, any place should be able to take a simple direction like extra crispy and I agree. My point however is not that they get it right but that the food is actually better here when your specific about what you want and how you like it. If your around and need a cheap meal to get you through I would stop here for a bite.

Well sumn odd goin on round this Unilocal site cause I KNOWi reviewed this already, but since I was gunna do a revamp I guess here we go anyhow,
I’ve been using this place for much more than a decade, the guys working here are very friendly and consistent of face which is rare in a takeout place, the most a familiar face disappears for is a month on family vacation. Unfortunatly this place is marred business why by the hordes of ghetto trash from the schools after hours and the basket ball courts around the corners. The food however has been decent if not good on days for many a year… up untill NOW, I don’t know what’s going on, I see no changes internally for the cause but for the last year or so it’s been consistently going down hill, and as of this last several months I’m giving up, I just can’t hardly do it anymore, a few new specialties have been added to menus and not half bad either a few months ago, but now even the simplest basic dish ive resorted to like white rice and garlic sauce vegetables totally sucks. The spring rolls and such are just tastes, and what really has been the deciding point of late is the complete disgust with the stake old wonton soup their serving now. My fav was fried rice and now that’s just a mush of crap. I’m giving 2 stars only on merit of the past, the nice staff, and the possibility still of a random day order that’s just ok. But I’ve really come to my end with my food affair with this place sadly.

Run of the mill.
Nothing special, but not the worst either.

Great neighborhood chinese food. When I don’t feel like walking to Kum Kau I come here and honest sometimes I just feel as if they have better food.
My food selections have upgraded with age here. As a child I did just like all the other neighborhood and school children did; came here and ordered French fries drenched in ketchup. I do come here and order egg rolls all the time. They are huge and delicious. Can’t go wrong with a good egg roll.
If your in the neighborhood you should give this place a try.

This is our go to chinese delivery spot. Fast, reliable, & always very friendly. Their hot and sour soup is my true inspiration for this review. It’s the best combination of hot and sour (duh), but also perfectly
mushroom-​y, egg-​y, and tofu-​y all at once.

I passed by this place and noted of the location for when I get hungry for Chinese and no time, I try this place. It happened few days ago.
The décor is dated but I was amazed by how organized and clean the space was. I wanted sweet side pork dish. I ordered Hot and Sour Pork. It had a choice of fired rice. brown rice or white. I chose brown. Soup choices were wonton soup or egg drop soup. I got wonton.
I opened the delivery box and laughed out loud! What I got was mostly carbs and meat! What I remember of Hot and Sour Pork had mostly always red and green pepper and onion. I can only found in the box were fried nuggets and brown rice. No veggies! Sweet and tangy sauce was in a small container. The sauce was spot on. I ate as if I was eating chicken nuggets. I pick one and dip and to my mouth action. Fried pork was tasty and light. The meat had no fat so wasn’t greasy. I didn’t like brown rice next to it because it makes no sense to me. Wanton soup was good as any Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. The ones that has thicker skin.
I felt this place is more carbs and meat place. Clifford H. suggested that their Singapore Chow Mei Fun is good. I noted for next time if I ever go back.

discusting!!! my friend and i ordered the veggie lo mein and about 20 minutes after got food poisoning. stay away from this place!

We all know that these Chinese food joints do not serve authentic and do enough justice to the traditional, savory, mouth watering Chinese food. Right? right???
I told my boyfriend that we are going to have Bad Chinese food for dinner. Because for some odd reason I’m a sucker for orange chicken/​general Tsao (come on… they all taste the same).
So bf popped up Good Joy on
while I came rushing in to the room with the lame junk flyers other Bad Chinese food kitchens. Good Joy was slightly pricier than others in the are (by .50 to 1 dollar or so). And geesh, that makes the food a better difference.
Delivery: Was pretty fast (either that or I was too immersed talking about my Sims 3 family to my boyfriend).
Food: We ordered Dry String beans (small) and Orange chicken. The string bean dish was not authentic. The Chinese dry string beans dish that I know should be slightly fried string beans and then sauteed with aromatics, chili peppers and sometimes with diced Chinese preserved meats. instead the vegetable dish was just fresh sauteed string beans in the general asian dark sauce. But I must say it was very decent. Not too salty and crazy on MSG. It was fresh.
Now, I must praise for the Orange chicken. They were not overly covered in flour doughs as a lot of kitchens like to do in order to scam you and save on the cost of meat. They were lightly coated and the sauce wasn’t overly sweet.
So $ 15 with tip included we filled our tummy and there are some left overs of rice which I will convert it into fried rice for lunch. Not bad.
If I ever have order Bad Chinese food again, it will be with them.

Chinese is usually too greasy for my tastes, however the one dish that I get here that always delights: Singapore Chow Mei Fun.
Basically thin noodles with strips of pork and veggies in a dry curry.
Beyond that, I can skip fast food Chinese and go for dumplings in China Town.

I just had Good Joy for the past two meals. For the neighborhood, its the best chinese delivery around. And by best chinese delivery around, I mean its the ONLY chinese delivery around. I got the chicken with garlic which wasn’t bad and the general tso’s which was mediocre. I also got the Hot and Sour Soup, which was above average. Very thick, with a good amount of mushrooms and tofu. Not too spicy, and with a nice light, flavor.
I’ll go again, but only because I have to.

By far and away the worst chinese delivery I’ve had in the 5 boroughs. I have no idea what the people approving of this place are thinking, or maybe they’re ordering the few things that this place actually makes decently?
Chicken with cashews had maybe 8 cashews in it which were quite hard to find as the oder was FILLED with diced cooked carrots and celery. I wasn’t aware that chinese restaurants now make bogus cambell’s soup knock offs. This couldn’t have sucked worse. We had broccoli and string beans were nothing but bland, the broccoli perhaps even a tad undercooked? My friend had the sesame chicken combo plate which was so so.
The spring roll was quite gross as well — the cabbage looked dried out inside and it was just… man it was just bad. And to top it all off — they don’t even have eggplant on the menu? If you live in the neighborhood and this is the only place that’ll deliver to you and you’re CRAVING chinese… just wait it out and order indian or something. This is the crappiest eating experience I’ve had in New York city, bar none.

It’s a very average «bulletproof» Chinese delivery joint in a neighborhood that needs one. Very fast delivery, and very cheap. What’s not to like, when you’re desperate for delivery?
