This is some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! EVERYTHING was excellent & great customer service! Quick service & food is made to order fresh! This food is so good & my smoothie is very tasty & sweet (try 🥥🥭 with bubbles)💋 Crab Rangoon was so good. Did I mention EVERYTHING was fresh!? 😉 I will be coming back!

Chow N Joy is my all time favorite Asian restaurant. I get Korean fish dogs plus whatever strikes my fancy: salt and pepper pork chops, sesame chicken, house pad thai, mmmm beef chow foon, all hot and ready by the time I walk to pick it up. It's even better to pick up than get it delivered because I have the pleasurable anticipation of carrying the parcel home. This is my comfort food destination, outstanding and easy.
