" I visited Joy Square recently and thought the food was decent but not up to my expectations. The ambiance was okay, but I was disappointed by what I received. The eggplant was drowned in too much sauce and the noodles were merely okay. The service could have been better since it took quite a while for our orders to arrive, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. I might give it another chance since I've heard good things, but I was not blown away this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Can't recommend Joy Square enough! Every time I come here, I am wowed by the amazing spices and homestyle feel. The wait staff are polite and accommodating, but it can be a little busy sometimes. Make sure to order the deep-fried eggplant — it’s a highlight for sure. I'm looking forward to my next visit; it always feels like a communal feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed on my last visit. I've always enjoyed the food at Joy Square, but I encountered some issues with service. The waiter forgot part of my order, and the food took too long to arrive. They did apologize and offered us a small discount, which was nice, but it didn't improve my overall experience. I really hope they improve upon this because the food is generally fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll keep it short: great food, not the best service. If you're looking for authentic taste, especially if you're familiar with Northern Chinese dishes, you will appreciate what Joy Square has to offer. The drunken chicken was pretty good! I would suggest going during off-peak hours to have a better service experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity at its best! I highly recommend Joy Square to anyone looking for a taste of Northern Chinese cuisine. The mushroom and cucumber dish was fresh, and the spicy hot pot was packed with flavors. The staff was friendly but slightly slow, so arrive with some patience for the best experience. I can't wait to go back and bring more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about this restaurant. While some of the dishes were good, others like the noodle dishes were rather underwhelming. It felt more like a home kitchen than a full-fledged restaurant, which isn't always bad, but the service was lacking. I've had better experiences at other places. People around me seemed to enjoy their meals more than I did, so maybe it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is really hit or miss. Some dishes like the back pepper fish were excellent, packed with flavor, but others, including the steamed fish we ordered, were underwhelming; it seemed to lack freshness. The atmosphere was casual, almost homey, which I liked. Service was polite but not very proactive. Overall, it made for a decent outing, but I wouldn't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
