" Joy really knows how to serve good food! The flavors packed into each dish are incredible, and everything from the Dan Dan noodles to the traditional desserts bring a taste of Taiwan right here in LA. My friends and I had a great time, and the staff were super accommodating. They have a great get-and-go system that made it efficient for diners like myself. It's interesting, affordable, and fulfilling, making it a perfect dining destination. " (*Curated Review*)

" Joy is a gem! I visited here last week and had the shrimps wontons and the Lu rou fan. The braised pork was just as I remember from my childhood visits to Taiwan. Each dish packs a flavorful punch that dances on your palate. The ambiance is vibrant, perfect for casual dining or a special evening out. The pricing is reasonable for the amount of food you get. Be prepared for a wait, but trust me, it's worth it! The staff was friendly and quick with service. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone craving authentic Taiwanese comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just love this place! The menu is full of everything I adore about Taiwanese cuisine. We had the braised pork, the wontons and several sides, and I was immediately transported back to my childhood! The service is quick, and even while the place was crowded, we got our food in a timely manner. The decor is modern yet cozy; I could spend hours there just enjoying the atmosphere. I left with a happy belly and looking forward to the next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Joy serves up some of the most authentic Taiwanese food in the area! I ordered spicy Dan Dan noodles and the slightly sweet shaved ice - both were fantastic! The service truly stood out, with friendly staff who made sure all our needs were met. It did take a while for our food to arrive during the dinner rush, but the ambiance really adds to the experience. Worth every bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an awesome spot! The Dan Dan noodles absolutely blew me away with their rich flavor. The atmosphere is great for both casual and special occasions. The staff were friendly, and the layout of the restaurant adds a cozy touch. It tends to get crowded, but the service is quick, so you don't feel neglected. It’s my new favorite place to dine out in the area; I can’t wait to come back. " (*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*)
