Joy Wok Express - South Gate

So here's the thing with Joy Wok, you either love her or you love her! They have been behind El Farallon in Lynwood next to a liqueur in this huge shopping center (which is now a school on MLK Jr. Blvd. Then they moved to a random place in South Gate. Then they moved back to where they are right now! As a life-saving fan, I must say that this is the best Chinese food spot that exists and you will find. Your food is best when fresh, but even if it is not just so delicious. The original chefs from the way back when it seems no longer here, but it seems that it can have been a family business and recipes because the food still tastes. Other Chinese food spots have cold Chinese food, bad to taste, dry sometimes, you can say 's old not JOY WOK! Trust me. Try them and you won't be dissappointed. I recommend a combo with two sides: Half Chow My, Half Fried Rice Black Pepper Chicken and Orange Chicken. Oh, and if you're fat like me? Add a Mongolian beef (it takes about 10 minutes for this order, but it is worth making it fresh! They close Sundays, but try them every other day of the week. Trust me. This is not your mediocre mother's and pops Chinese food spot. It is delicious oh and you can also order your food for parties!

I always get roasted rice orange chicken, no matter what Chinese takeout I eat, but 10/10 would always go back here

Honestly a little frightening from outside, was nervous to try it, but I was surprised!! Probably one of the most delicious chow I cost. The fried rice well cooked not very fatty and good taste, I ordered chicken with vegetables and super good also! I can't comment yet, but I give 5 stars

I live not too far from this Chinese eatery but when I went there, Holy Moly, it was tasty. But I will explain why the 4 stars. I really do not care about the restaurant decor or condition because I do not like to dine-in alone in public. But the place looks and feels welcoming. I rather take my food home. I got Combo B and I tried the Chicken Teriyaki, Orange Chicken, wings, and Broccoli Beef. The Chicken Teriyaki is kind of tender and sometimes it is burned a little bit but I do like it a little dark. Still good enough to eat. Orange Chicken is crispy but a little too sweet in my point of view. Chicken Wings are also sometimes a little burned but good enough to eat. Broccoli beef is chewy sometimes but I cannot say no to that. I admire that they have a Grade A from Health Inspection but the food kind of throws me off. But 4 stars is better than 1, 2, or 3. But I still come here to eat because I do not hate the food.

Want some Chinese food that isn 't that crappy Panda Express? This is the way to go! Hands down the best and most filling Chinese food place around. Make this your spot for whenever you are in the mood for Chinese because you won 't regret it. Portions? They fill the take out box until it barely closes. Its the best, enough said.
