Went there today with 5 other lady friends, we had great food, great service and a great time. It also has a great view from the windows.

Hidden gem in a relatively small town. Great service and good food better than we can usually get.

We have driven past Joy Wah many times over the last decade and finally gave it a try this past weekend. Given the mixed reviews I saw on Yelp, I was hopeful but did not set my expectations very high. As others have said, the decor is a bit dated but the restaurant was clean. The river view made up for the outdated decor.I made a reservation as recommended by the website since we had a party of 6. Several tables were occupied but there seemed to be plenty of availability. We were seated immediately and our waiter asked us what beverages we wanted. He took our order and the food came out efficiently and piping hot.We ordered egg rolls and vegetable potstickers for appetizers. Both were delicious. The dumplings came with a yummy dipping sauce. I tried to choose items that were more authentic/home style or items that my family usually orders at a Chinese restaurant in NYC Chinatown. Entrees included pork fried rice (no soy sauce), scallops with pea pods with ginger/scallion, walnut prawns, bean curd with vegetables, chow mei fun (aka subgum rice noodles), and sesame chicken (for the kids). The waiter was very accommodating as I asked for “white” fried rice (no soy sauce), the mei fun which I did not see on the menu and less sodium in all the dishes. Everything was delicious. My only negative comment is that the sauce in the bean curd dish was too salty. Other than that, we were all impressed with the quality of the food and had leftovers.Our interactions with other employees were positive as well. One of the female employees let my kids keep some Christmas origami decorations they saw by the Christmas tree up front. Another lady appreciated my kids’ admiring her goldfish tank.We had a great experience and will be back soon!
