China Joe’s

I’m not a Chinese food lover, although I do like to consume it now and then. And we usually end up eating something like Pandas because it’s so close to the house, on the occasion we’re too lazy to get out of the house we order from China Joes and get a delivery. It was never my favorite place but convenient. However, it seems they have new management and have revamped their menu. And let me tell you, it was delicious! SO GOOD! We ordered Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork, beef and broccoli, house chow fun, shrimp with garlic sauce and house fried rice and for the starters we got egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. Everything was so tasty and had their own individual flavors, which when you order Chinese everything tends to taste the same, this was a nice change of pace. And the fried food was NOT greasy!
The person I spoke to on the phone was the nicest person I’ve ever spoken to from there, he wasn’t trying to rush me off the phone which use to be the case and took his time making sure my order was just right. He gave a 40 – 45 min window and our food was here in 35. Nice, hot and fresh. In a nutshell, if they stay like this, then no more pandas for us. We can enjoy our laziness and order in.

I stayed on the west side of las vegas and would eat at the China Joes on Lake Mead and Jones. so I moved to this side of town thinking this would be similar. My service was rude the rice was over cooked and my Kung pao chicken tasted like plastic teriyaki chicken. The egg roll I recieved was old :(. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED

I got two entrées and both of them were way over salted! The only thing we could eat was the white rice and crab Ragoon. I used to love this place but it’s gone down hill after new management. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. Let’s just say $ 25 down the drain o well lesson learned!

We used to love this place, but sadly it’s gone way downhill.
First of all, apparently they are «under new management.» We received a new menu from them, and there were some changes. We always order the Family Meal B, and tonight was no exception. However, the price has gone up and the portions were maybe ¼ of what they used to be.
Really disappointing. But not the worst of it… the food was horrible. The sweet and sour chicken tasted like old oil and there were only 2 VERY small things of sauce with it. The beef with broccoli tasted odd as well, and the vegetables were barely cooked at all.
This used to be one of our favorite places for take out, but we will NEVER order from China Joe’s again.

In my opinion, the food is pretty good. I love their mongolian beef and cashew chicken, so delish, especially as leftovers cause you can reheat it on a pan and chop it up all together on top of some rice.
But my main reason for 3 stars is because the store itself… smells. I’m not talking «oh its just chinese food» smell. It smells like a sewage blew up in a locker room. Is that place sanitary? Burn some incense, spray some febreeze, there’s a dollar store right next to you, get some candles in there!

I eat there every week. It’s hard to pick what to eat to feel satisfied for the whole week until I order again. Usually I also order here for special occasions like my Birthday and Chinese New Year. I can’t get enough of it. Sometimes I even look into how the people of china order and see how it is similar to how we eat Chinese food in America. I have to say it is much more satifiying if you eat they way they do. That’s why I eat here I love the foods authentic quality. It’s not even worth me making it myself becuase I couldn’t even start cooking it as good as they do. For my order today it took 30 mins and I even had to call back to pay cause I forgot where I put my money.

My wife and I got sick from the food prepared from this restaurant. Cashier was friendly. However, the restaurant appearance looked like a boiler room operation. I don’t know how they got there level or grade «A» in sanitation. When my wife saw a cockroach run across the floor from the kitchen. What a waste of my money. Horrible food. Keep yourself healthy and don’t eat there. You’ve been warned.

The food was so bad it’s the first time in my life I have ever called a delivery place for a refund and to pick up their unedible food. Absolutely disgusting! The food came in a bag full of its own juice (spilled over) the kung pao celery (since the handful of spongy undercooked chicken pieces were hardly visible) our order was incorrect with no cream cheese wontons and some foil wrapped thing I think may have been chicken instead of the bbq robs we paid for. The only thing that may had been edible, had the other dish not completely saturated it with juice, was possibly the fried rice but the shrimp didn’t taste cooked. We finally said to each other «this food isn’t edible» and broke down and called. Dont waste your money, you will be disappointed!

This is not the best Chinese around, but given the very short list of choices on my side of town (that deliver), China Joe’s does the job. We’ve eaten here several times — once dine-​in and the rest delivery. Here’s the scoop:
On the plus side:
*Service is super friendly and delivery is quick
*Food is consistently good and hot upon delivery
*Sweet & Sour chicken is our fave — it’s never over or under cooked and they serve the sauce on the side so it’s not soggy when it gets to your door.
*Love the cream cheese wontons — and we always end up with a free order with delivery.
*Prices are very reasonable and they are not skimpy on sauces, condiments or cookies. :)
The not-​so-​plus side:
*Hot & sour soup… It looked like jarred brown gravy with a few bamboo shoots. It also had a really strange aroma that I couldn’t quite place but it was very unpleasant as was the taste. Nothing like any hot & sour soup I’ve had before.
*Potstickers. I can’t really complain about these because they really were pretty good, but I wasn’t expecting them to be deep fried. I think my idea of «potstickers» is actually the Chinese dumpling, so I can’t really fault them for this, just know ahead of time they are deep fried (and a bit greasy because of that).
In the end, whenever we are too lazy to go out and are wanting Chinese, we call China Joe’s.

If you’re in the mood to get disgusted with making a poor decision to order chinese take out then China Joe’s is for you. I must say that I have eaten a lot of places but never have been so compassionate to let other’s know of a horrible dining experience I have had. Though we did not dine at the location but made the terrible mistake of calling this location for chinese food. No we didn’t get physically sick to our stomachs but paying $ 26.00 mediocre food. #68 China Joe’s Chow Mein which turned out to julienne sliced cabbage with a little onion and bit and pieces of chicken, pork, shrimp, beef and if all protein measures less than a ¹⁄₃ of cup with the rest being cabbage. If you’re into spending $ 9.00 dollars for cabbage then this is the perfect plate for you and your family. If you’re looking for the smallest egg rolls which are very greasy then you have found the perfect location to eat and egg roll without chewing simply let it slide down your throat. Anyways if anything I’ve said has not hit home with you on weather or not to eat at this location then experience it for yourselves and remember that I did warn you about how bad the food was. By the way the menu online is misleading since no one has upgraded the site and the prices on some items are higher than what is be given on the online menu. Good Luck and remember do everything in your power not to eat here.

In the old part of Henderson it is OK. Hit or miss really. But when it’s a hit it is great!

They delivered so I was happy, but the food was fair at best. They were very polite on the phone and when delivering the food. In a pinch would order again.

Not the best but does the job.
I live all the way out by Lake Las Vegas so my delivery options are not huge but on random Chinese delivery cravings China Joe’s does the job, The people on the phone are always nice foods decent noting special. Their Generals chicken is good but they put it in a styrofoam box and it’s a really hot food so the box looks melted when it gets to you not a big fan of that. I’ll probably order from them again, hopefully i remember to tell them no styrofoam boxes.

Please don’t judge me as I chose convenience again. The last time I wrote a review for this place I gave them a 2 star. This time, I chose to up the rating just a little. I ordered a few things and two of them were good tonight.
I ordered the beef with oyster sauce (larger size), sweet and sour pork (larger size) and an order of the potstickers. My bill came out to $ 25 which is fine because I know I’ll get up to 4 meals from this entire order.
I’ve gotta say that the beef with oyster sauce is really growing on me a lot. The beef is super tender, the water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, onions, etc. is all really good. I made my own rice tonight because I prefer the stickier type of rice. I thought the combination was a flavor explosion. The oyster sauce is definitely a great component that ties the entire dish together! My second favorite thing tonight were the potstickers. The outside was the epitome of crunchy. The potstickers were stuffed with pork and veggies. Super flavorful and served with a soy dipping sauce. Personally, I didn’t think the sauce was needed. I think they used a little vinegar, but the potstickers were good on it’s own.
The one dish I did not like this time was the sweet and sour pork. Chunks of pork battered and deep fried, served with chunks of peppers and onions. The sweet red sauce is served on the side. The only thing I didn’t like was that the batter was so thick that they had to fry the pork longer than usual which made it super hard. Hope your teeth are strong, because you’re going to need it! LOL!
All in all, China Joe’s doesn’t stack up to my favorite (Joyful House), but since Spring Mountain is 15+ miles away… China Joe’s will have to do! LOL

I have stopped going here. As you can see from my last review, I used to love it, but the quality has gone downhill FAST. Too bad. So hard to find good Chinese food in my part of Henderson :(Smells like dirty mop water as soon as you walk-​in.
Best chinese fast food in Henderson. I have been coming here for 8 years and my favorite item on the menu is the Wor Won Ton soup. My husband loves the General Chicken and the Chicken Fried Rice is also excellent.
What I particularly like about China Joe’s is that they do not bury everything in thick, pasty sauces. The sauces are good, but the food does not drown in them.
It is very casual dining and I always carry-​out. China Joes also delivers to my area which is an extra bonus.
The facility is clean and the employees are friendly.

Cashier could barely speak English that she messed up my order after telling her what I wanted repeatedly. Food was also bland and tasted old.

My first 1 star. I got the teriyaki chicken cause I find this dish hard to mess up… they messed it up! It was bland, the sauce was literally right out of the bottle and the rice was dry. This place would have gotten a 2 star if it didn’t reek of raw sewage. Yes I ate there anyway… I was starving and my bike was overheating. Not one of my best decisions but one I will have to live with. I will not go back… ever! Kind of what you should expect from a place called China Joe’s.

I give them a solid 3 star review.
All in all it was pretty decent and economical chinese delivery for the entire family. Everyone I had contact with was friendly. This meal fed us all for supper and we all have leftover for lunch the next day for $ 45. I’ve had better chinese food, but this is the best (thus far) of what I have at hand within MY local delivery area…
…and that was the whole point. I didn’t want to cook, I didn’t want to drive anywhere, and I wanted chinese food. Score!
So of of the 6 locations this got the middle of the road average at 2.5 stars. I ordered not knowing this so I’ll share my experience of how it was from start to finish.
They actually have a much higher rating on Urbanspoon (US) of 81% which has 4 reviews, 3 of them were recent from 2011. I found them on google maps looking for «chinese». I was able to see the menu clearly and decided to give them a try.
For a total of $ 40.55 I got:
1 large order of orange chicken ($ 7.45)
1 large order of beef pepper steak ($ 7.95)
1 large order of chicken egg foo young ($ 6.95)
1 wor wonton soup ($ 5.95)
1 small order of veggie egg rolls ($ 1.75)
1 chicken fried rice ($ 4.95)
1 order cream cheese wontons (free with order, but would have cost $ 3.95)
The woman on the phone had a strong accent but I managed to get my order through. I asked if there were any deals and because my order was above a certain amount she threw in a free order of cream cheese wontons, which my son will love. She was very friendly.
I was quoted at 1 hr on the delivery. It arrived right on time. There was nothing missing from the order and it arrived hot without anything leaking.
I paid $ 45 total, including the tip to the driver.
Large chicken entrees run around $ 7.45, Sm $ 4.75
Large Beef entrees run around $ 7.95, Sm $ 4.95
Large Seafood varies from $ 8.45-$ 10.25, Sm $ 5.25
Egg Foo Young from $ 5.95-$ 7.95, Sm $ 3.95-$ 4.25
They also do Lo Mein, Chow Mein, Curry, Teriyaki, Pad Thai, Chow Fun (noodles), Hong Kong style pan fried crispy noodles, rice noodles, and 6 vegetarian entrees.
======================================
First, the bad:
I found the war wonton soup to be very bland. I added a lot of soy sauce because it tasted like watery broth. I would not buy the soup again. On a good note, it tasted better with the soy sauce. There were also chunks of bbq pork and whole shrimp. Lots of goodies in their soup.
I didn’t think the cream cheese wontons to be worth the money if I had paid for it… but since it was free, they were OK. I will ask for more egg rolls instead next time.
I don’t usually eat egg foo young so I don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like, but this was a little too plain for my tastes. It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good. It was just there and we ate it.
========================================
Now the good stuff:
The rest of the orders we got satisfied our craving for a chinese dinner. We sampled from everything family style. Lots left over for everyone else as they got home from work and lots left over for us for lunch the next day.
The orange chicken tasted just like what one would expect from orange chicken. Lots of sauce. It was crunchy and saucy in each bite. It soaked up enough sauce as to be flavourful yet had some texture. Son ate it up. I ate it up. I think panda express has better orange chicken but panda doesn’t deliver does it. Nope!
I liked the Beef pepper steak. Could have been more beef than pepper but I have to tell you the beef was a good texture and taste. The sauce was great on the rice. It’s ironic that it costs more than the orange chicken because you really get a LOT more chicken from that… than beef from this dish.
The chicken fried rice went quickly. Just good basic fried rice.
We also got a container of plain steamed rice for each large entrée I’d ordered. I’ll probably make my own fried rice another night with it because we have so much rice leftover. So… neat because we eventually get another meal out of this in a round about way.
========================================
I will continue ordering from them, but I’ll change up my order next time until I hit a short list of «go-​to» entrees. The first on that list is the orange chicken.

This place is pretty good if you like cheap, quick chinese food. I love the General Chicken. You have to watch out because they tend to make it all pretty spicy. The price is very cheap and they give quick service. I would recommend it for take out not eat at the place.
