★★★★★ 5.0 Kayla Frank · Jan 2026

I don't know why the rating isn't higher for here. Everything was great. The one complaint I have is how much oil is used in the food (which tastes phenomenal by the way). So I ate less than I would have liked to. Other than that 10/10 experience. Just be mindful if you're looking for something on the healthier side! I should have done the hibachi!

Service is usually good but this last time we went we never got a refill on our drinks. No one ever came back to our table after bringing our drinks. The food is not good at all. We gave it a try a few times and this last time we ended up feeling sick to our stomachs later on.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kyle Parker · Jan 2026

I thought the food was good overall I mean I think people are forgetting this is a buffet! Not a cook to order restaurant. The sushi was good not great but good and I loved the hibachi cook to order station that was by far my favorite thing here. So many choices here including an entire table with nothing but desserts. I recommend this place I mean it looks like red Robbin nothing you can do there and it was packed when we went but the food and service were both good and it was very inexpensive! Remember folks it’s a buffet! Not a sit down and cook it to order restaurant so it can’t be judged by those standards. Great variety, good food, and nice people I recommend.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brittney W · Jan 2026

Joy Restaurant in Trussville is new, and the experience was pleasant. The environment was well lit and very clean. The food was okay overall, and the crawfish stood out—they were cleaned and seasoned well. This is a place I would visit again.

Clean bright lighting, friendly staff, excellent food, lots of choices, great value. I enjoyed myself thoroughly, thanks for an AWESOME evening.
