Joy Wok

Food was very fresh and filled with great flavor. Not at all greasy. It was exactly what we were looking for. Food was delivered hot and ready to eat. Finally found a great Chinese restaurant that delivers. Would definitely recommend.

Good food and great service. I ordered a chicken and vegetable dish not greasy and it was perfect. They did forget my egg roll and so kindly came back and delivered it and refused extra tip. The delivery was fast and I can honestly say I’ve never had such service! Wow great job and food keep it up!

I absolutely love ordering from this joint.
Always fresh and delicious. I always order delivery here, so I’ve never entered the restaurant. But the food is awesome. I usually get Sesame Chicken, and some type of appetizer.
Their drivers are always ahead of schedule and polite. They’re definitely a JOY. #BaDumTss

Tried this place for the first time tonight and I must say I am pretty impressed. The dragon and Phoenix special was so tasty; great flavors and an even better portion! The lady on the phone was very friendly and was very patient. This may just be our new go-​to place to order from!

Omg. Just had a very bad experience; too involved to explain. I urge you ALL to stay away. RIP JOY WOK!!!

Fast service and delicious food especially for the price. I’ve come here a few times for lunch. The only thing it’s better to do takeout because they don’t have a lot of seating.

I order take out from Joy Wok all the time! The Chinese food is sooo good and the portions are big! They are extremely accommodating — I am allergic to some things and they do not give me any kind of hard time or make me feel like I am being a pain — and it is always perfect!

I adore this restaurant. I love everything i have ever tried from here. Particularly their singapore mei fun and the bubble tea which i buy almost every time because it is so good. In addition to the food, the workers are super friendly. One worker in particular stands out as she is usually there when i visit. Her name is May. She deserves as much recognition as the food because she is very outgoing, hardworking and welcoming (and she’s pretty too!) This is where i go whenever i am in the mood for chinese food because this location has the perfect combination of friendly, dedicated workers and delicious food.

I have ordered from many different Chinese places near Montclair State University and this one is by far the best! The boneless spare ribs are amazing!!! The delivery is FAST! As a student I have to say the prices compared to other Chinese places are a little higher. It would be nice to see a special deal for college students like the other Chinese delivery places.

Some of the dishes here are fantastic (MuShu Pork, Fried Rice, Mango Smoothies, Mongolian Beef) others have gone down hill over the years and are almost to the point of horrible (WonTon soup, egg rolls). Once you get to know what to order, the experience is great, good food, delivered FAST, accurate and hot and they have friendly customer service. When there is a mistake, they rush the replacement right over.

I ordered the chicken Lo Mein and the scallion pancakes. I have no complaints or had any problems and I will be ordering again from this place.

First time customer Had delivery some 7 miles away. Received hot food fresh vegetables and a free liter of soda!
Will try it again in a week or so

WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN. I use to love this place until I found a roach in my wonton soup. A large nasty roach in my soup.

Please try to avoid this overpriced Chinese place. There are plenty of other places that give you more bang for your buck, such as the, «Combo» section. Who charges extra for an egg roll? They do. And their combos charge more than other places and are without the egg roll! No thank you.

BEWARE! See pic above. That does not look like hair from the head. This was in my boneless spare rib lunch special. Don’t order from this place.

I usually use these guys if I’m craving some MSG and those crunchy noodles. They have all of the standard Chinese fare as well as a couple of things I have never seen before. A few Thai dishes and a couple of different apps. The food is generally tasty and overall leaves you satisfied. My gripe with this place lies with the service, particularly their delivery man. He uses a couple of tricks to make his job easier and to annoy the shit out of me. First off he will call you and say he is outside. Lies. He calls you when he is five minutes or so away; so as to make you come outside or to wait by your door. He then pulls up and will not get out of his truck but rather forcefully wave and point at you and roll his window down an stick your food out. Essentially a hand off. I literally had to tell him to come to me in order to get him out of the car and when I asked for change you would have thought the world was over. Overall, decent food if you can laugh at the poor attitude of a career Chinese food guy.

I tried Joy Wok for the first time a couple of nights ago. I have to say that whenever I try a new Chinese take out place for the first time, I always do it with my fingers crossed — hoping and praying that my decision was a good one. Thankfully this time it was!
The first thing I like about Joy Wok is that you can order online. The menu is standard for a Chinese place but note that they also have some Thai dishes available if you’re looking to change things up a bit.
We got Chicken with String Beans, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Vegetable Fried Rice and Masaman Curry with Chicken (Thai). The food was very fresh tasting and well prepared (no excessive oil or sauce — it tasted great but also felt healthy at the same time!). The meal was reasonably priced and the portions were very large compared to the ‘norm’ for take out.
Very happy with Joy Wok and it will be my staple for Chinese Takeout from now on

Received a flier with coupons in the mail… Our office does Chinese food lunch specials every Friday and I am not a big fan of where they have been going… I was excited to see this menu and how vast the selections were.
Make sure you add an extra 10 minutes to your pick up time as they seem to be running late for every one.
As I said, we do the lunch specials and they did not disappoint. All lunch specials range from 5.25 — 5.75 and they come with either a choice of soups (won ton, egg drop or hot and sour), or egg roll, or soda. And they come with choice of rice, white or fried. the fried is awesome! Full of peas, onions, carrots, sprouts and pork. Needed soy sauce for more flavor, IMHO. I ordered the shrimp with veggies. I asked for spicy sauce on the side. It was great! Shrimp (5 large) were cooked perfectly and came with a lot of mixed veggies. My co-​workers were all happy with theirs as well. Only complaint was that the scallion pancakes were not light and flaky. kind of like lead weights. Most of that order went into the garbage and the fried dumplings needed more sauce… they were a bit skimpy on the sauce serving. We WILL be back.

Waited for this place to open and we knew it had when a menu got delivered (this is a good sign, it was legally delivered as opposed to being hand stuffed illegally into mailboxes). Laziness set in on the weekend and we ordered a feast using the 20% off coupon.
Ordered Steamed Vegetable Dumpling, Cold Sesame Noodles, Tofu Teriyaki, Roast Pork w/​Garlic Sauce, and Kong Pao Chicken. We asked ‘extra spicy’ on everything. They eventually called us saying the order was ready as we were going to pickup (suppose they use CallerID). Once arriving to pick up the order, they took the coupon without issues and the 40 $ order was reduced to about 32 $. They offered a comp soda but since we dont drink that filt, we were given some cookies. (They can improve here by telling you over the phone you qualify for a comp and giving a choice — anything except soda! An egg roll would have been nice.)
Coming home, we unpacked everything and noticed that there was a container of rice missing, minus 1 star for lack of attention to detail. Also, they dont give you the option on the menu for brown rice, even though under additional items the white rice and brown rice are the same cost. In regards to the food, the Steamed Vegetable Dumpling looked homemade, however, smaller than we have seen from other Chinese restaurants. The Cold Sesame Noodles had an interesting ginger flavor addition, but were very very light on the peanut sauce — they need to give more of it. The Tofu Teriyaki was just sheets of Tofu in sauce, not vegetables or anything else… looked quite boring. The Roast Pork w/​Garlic Sauce and Kong Pao Chicken were decent, however, while the Kong Pao Chicken filled my dish to the top, they skimped out on the Roast Pork w/​Garlic Sauce. Also, its important to note, that the 2 meat entrees came in the new fangled plastic rectangular boxes (not the old fashioned style paper box containers) but they were of the deep variety, so it more than likely was a quart (if its actually filled to the top!!!). Taste wise, it was decent but there were no whole chile peppers, as would be accustomed with Szechuan Style orders such as this. Instead, looks like they gave extra White Pepper and added a chunky chili which resembled salsa. It was different. The next day when I reheated it, I threw in a tablespoon of red chili flakes and it made the dish much better. So in other words, even when the Szechuan Style dishes were ordered ‘extra spicy’, they were not.
In summary, the place has potential, but they need to iron out the kinks — remember to pack all components of the order, dont skimp out on peanut sauce, and fill the containers to capacity, not partially. The jury is still out, but I would have been quite pissed had it not been for the 20% off coupon.
