Joy Garden Chinese Add To Site - Newark

This is absolutely the worst food I have ever tasted it hit the trash so fast nasty nasty nothing was fresh about it if you are NOT going to serve fresh quality food do your customers a favor and shut down or step up your game your customers deserve better and YOU know that I just don't understand why you think people deserve poor quality food you should be ashamed to even call yourself a restaurant

I have eaten from that place for the last 15 years. We always order the same sesame chicken. This is the 3rd time it tastes disgusting. I don't know what else they cook in that oil, maybe pork, or if that oil is who knows how old. Even my son had to throw it out tonight. I love that family, but since Covid started the food is not the same anymore....

Really good meal options. I like the combo that comes with a main and you can get pork fried rice and an eh roll which is exactly what I wanted for such a good price. The food was good but not amazing.

I don 't recommend this place. When I called in an order for the first time, I asked not to have carrots or celery in my kung pao chicken (those vegetables are used as filler at cheaper Chinese restaurants), but a few minutes later, they called me back to tell me that it is pre-mixed so they can 't do it. I think we all know it 's ridiculous that they pre-mix vegetables with raw chicken, so they really just didn 't want to do it. My concerns were justified, because when the order arrived, it was virtually all filler vegetables and no chicken (to their credit, there were mushrooms in there that were pretty good), so basically we paid $12 for a quart of kung pao carrots. The chicken with broccoli was almost as bad, though had a bit more of a ratio of chicken. The sesame chicken, which is typically my family 's favorite dish at a Chinese restaurant, was apparently not very good. (Even though the rest of the meal was not great, the hot and sour soup was actually pretty good) There are other take-out Chinese places in the area, and I recommend choosing another. One other quick note: there is a handwritten sign on their counter saying Due to rising beef prices, beef dishes will be charged $1 extra (that 's a paraphrase, not the actual sign, but that 's basically what it says). We didn 't order any beef dishes, so if you are calling in your order, you should ask whether they are applying this secret surcharge.

Absolutely the best food!! Love the environment here and the owners! We have been coming here for over 10 years
