Customer Reviews
Bought food from here last night and I won’t be returning the sweet and sour sauce has the consistency of jelly my spring roll was dripping with grease the chow mien was just a tub of greasy noodles with no bean sprouts or veggies And the pork balls have made me sick all night it couldn’t get any worse I won’t be going back
Visiting from out of town, I wasn't sure which Google reviews to trust, so my partner and I took a chance on Joyful House. I'm glad we did - I got salt & pepper chips (one of my favourites) with a side of salt & pepper chicken and the Shanghai chicken. It was all top notch - well seasoned, with fresh, crunchy veg and just the right amount of salt and spice. My partner was also very happy with her salt & pepper prawn and satay chicken. The rice, like everything else, was fresh and fragrant. We'll be returning next time we're in the area - this place is better than the options we have at home! Thank you for making such a good job of my favourites 🙏
Sorry im having to do this because we order all the time but ive just rang to complain about been given raw chicken and was told "yeah yeah fine" Its not acceptable to be given the raw food especially raw chicken. I took one bite and was nearly sick so checked the rest and all the chicken balls were raw in the middle. Im not sure how I upload the picture of it but it was definitely raw.
