" 5-star authentic Taiwanese food with a cozy vibe. I had the Gua Bao and Lu Rou Fan, and I was overwhelmed with how delicious they were! The pork was tender and flavorful. The only issue I faced was parking, but it’s manageable if you look a bit. The staff was efficient and attentive. Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys delicious Taiwanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Joy last weekend and it was surprisingly good! I met a few friends there, and we ordered a big spread. The food was fresh, bursting with flavors. The ambience was relaxed yet energetic. The Dan Dan noodles are a must-try! I felt it encompassed everything you want in good Taiwanese food. Despite being busy, the service was fast, and the staff was cheerful. It's the kind of place I’ll return to again and again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot describe how amazing Joy is! I've been coming here for years and every time they exceed my expectations. Whether it's the Dan Dan noodles or the seasonal specials, you always get pure joy in every bite. Plus, the cleanliness and vibe of the restaurant make it an enjoyable experience. The staff remembers our faces and even the little details about our last visit! They care about their customers deeply. This place is truly a treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little spot has become one of my favorites for a quick meal! The Dumplings are delicious, and the Dan Dan noodles are to die for! I love how affordable everything is here too. The only downside I encountered was the line, which can be pretty long, especially on weekends. While you wait, I recommend the iced teas, which are refreshing and perfectly sweet. The service is efficient, but just be prepared for a wait if you come at peak hours. Still, I'm more than willing to wait for the great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Joy was exactly what I needed! The atmosphere has that hip vibe, and they play great music. I was initially drawn in by their menu featuring authentic Taiwanese dishes, and they did not disappoint. The flavors brought back memories of family dinners back home. I particularly enjoyed the Lotus Root appetizer. Every bite was packed with flavor! Although it gets busy, I appreciate how the staff manage the crowd efficiently. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Joy brings something new! The combination of flavors in their dishes is outstanding. I particularly loved the lifting combination with the spicy Dan Dan noodles and the sweet shaved ice for dessert. However, I would advise getting there early to avoid long lines, as it can get super busy. The outdoor seating option is nice too for enjoying the vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Joy for our Sunday family dinner, and I would say it was a great choice! The Dan Dan noodles were rich and savory, exactly what I was in the mood for. I also loved the toasted pancake we kept hearing about. The prices are super affordable; everything is worth it! The ambiance is lively but casual. Just a heads up, they don’t take reservations, so be prepared for a short wait. Overall, I can't recommend Joy enough for those looking for delicious Taiwanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
