Joy City

Our dinner was really good. We ordered orange chicken, beef chow fun with greens and garlic green beans. The garlic green beans were probably the best I’ve had. We got sat immediately upon arrival even though they were fairly busy and got our food steaming hot and fresh within minutes. We were impressed. They also had huge servings.

Joy City in Elk Grove is a solid spot for dim sum! Swing by with some friends.. fresh, flavorful, and consistently well-made. The menu has a great variety, service is quick, and it’s perfect for both casual meals and family-style dining. Definitely one of the better dim sum options in EG. Thanks! Anthonyxibarrax

I’m not sure what happened with the server, but one of them seemed unhappy to serve us when we sat down. It was only two tables, but then a large party next to me came over and sat down on the left side of my table. The server grabbed my chair from our table and moved it to their table without asking anything. Then, when we got our food and started eating, another large party came over and sat down on the right side of the table. The server put the extra chairs in, so I ended up sitting inside. I can’t understand why they seat people like that. It’s nonsense to seat people like that if the restaurant is busy and full. I understand that, but there are still many tables available. The food was okay, but the overall experience was bad

Picked up a bunch of dishes To Go for a small get together. I usually go all the way to Freeport for my Chinese food, but since this restaurant was on the way to my destination I figured I would give it a shot. Everything was pretty good. I don't think I had anything to complain about. The portions were just right and didn't suffer from shrink-flation. I would have to go here for dim sum to really get an idea of how well this place is but from just ordering some takeout it was decent and nothing tasted bad.

Great local place for Dim Sum and Cantonese food. Gets crowded for dim sum on the weekends. Be prepared to wait if you missed the first round of seating. If you are a small group like 2 people there is opportunity to share a table with another party if you like. Make sure to put your name on the waiting list when you arrive. You don't really notice it. My husband and I went for Fathers Day, but just missed the first round of seating. We decided to put the order in as to go and bring home to eat. They told us 30 mins but ended up being 50 mins. We could have gotten seated by then. Oh well lesson learned. We still enjoyed it at home
