Joy Kitchen

We love this place! We order frequently within a year. Their house lo mein, egg rolls, and crab wontons ‍‼ They also have sushi! This little place is the perfect place for Asian food in the Andover/ Anoka area. We have never been disappointed. Great for to go orders!

Came in to get sushi and an order of chicken pad thai. It was a Monday night and not that busy inside. The guy told us to sit wherever we wanted. It took him a while to bring us our menus. I put our sushi order in right away because we were hungry. Then he took our order around 5 minutes later for the pad thai. We waited and waited for the sushi...it was around 20 minutes and no sushi yet. I went up to the server and asked when it was coming? He said soon. Finally it came and then we waited around another 10 more minutes for the pad thai. He never refilled our waters or grabbed the dirty plates! When our pad thai finally arrived at the table it had a weird smell to it. My husband and I both didn't like the taste and it wasn't very hot! So, when the guy finally came back to ask how it was...we told him it wasn't what we thought it would be...he said that it's a hit or miss with a lot of people. So, now we just want to leave. He asked, did you want something else? We said Chicken Lo Mein since he told us it would be on the house. We asked for it to go. It came up quicker than the other food. Here's the kicker...he still charged us for the Lo Mein when he specifically told us it would be free! I even confronted him on what he had told us...but, he still charged us after this whole big mess...we won't be going back . . .Too bad because we live so close to this place and like to support our local businesses. JOY KITCHEN.... you need to get more trained servers for the inside dining customers, instead of worrying about all the takeout orders...get a new system going! Buh-bye

Joy Kitchen was about exactly what you'd expect in an average Asian joint. Nothing exceptional, but will likely help you get your fix of Asian flavors should you be in the mood.We tried two sushi rolls - one not so good, and the other reasonably good (Minnesota Roll). The Massaman curry was extremely bland, which was a major disappointment. Their house fried rice was par for the course, but also this one is hard to mess up! All in all, it was average almost across the board.

Still great - 4 stars!It's been a while, a full 5 years since I've been to Joy Kitchen. But I just went back to get an emergency sushi craving fix. I ordered 4 styles of tuna based sushi rolls. All 4 of them were bursting with wonderful flavors. They ingredients are obviously nice & fresh, including ample portions of beautiful dark red tuna.LOW CARBOHYDRATE: It's pretty easy to eat low carbohydrate, keto style at Joy Kitchen, especially if you stick to the sushi options. I avoid the noodles, large rice portions, deep fried stuff (they use soybean oil), and any sauce that probably contains sugar and vegetable seed oils. If I cheat on my carnivore with keto (about once a month) I often grab some lower carb sushi roll options, and J.K. definitely hit the spot!Thanks, again, Joy Kitchen!-Maxx

Food was pretty good. The Pink Love roll was delicious. Service was very slow and our table was never prebussed so it got pretty cluttered. Ambiance was fine, they seem to have a lot of to-go orders and focus heavily on those.

It was awful!!! I ordered pad Thai and the chicken had a funny texture and tasted like fish and some kind of fish sauce or something got into it made it taste terrible. The eggrolls were nothing but little pieces of chopped cabbage. They were not good either.

Ordered pickup from Joy Kitchen - food was ready in 20 mins. Interior was much nicer than I expected as I have driven by Joy Kitchen for years but never tried it. Their cream cheese wontons were the best part of the meal. The Kung Pao Chicken and Massaman Curry were good but nothing spectacular. I felt they went overboard on the veggies, and the lack of the meat in the entrees is the reason for the three star rating. I'd definitely give them another shot, especially to see the value/quality of the lunch specials.

This is our go-to for ordering out when we are lazy and not wanting to cook! We only stick to the basics (orange chicken, chicken fried rice, wontons, general tso's chicken). We don't order sushi or anything fancy (my husband tried sushi here & it's nothing to brag about)... The chicken is always super awesome and flavorful, no weird pieces. Cream cheese wontons are super delicious. However, the fried rice is mediocre. It's more on the dry side & not very flavorful. Lastly, they serve large portions for great price. We will continue to order from here!

Chicken wings: appearance wise, these look like very tasty and plump wings, but they were rubbery and flavorless. Part of the crispy, tempora was falling off and not on certain places of the wing. On the plus side, they did offer a ton of wings. Rating: 1/5Sushi: we ordered an assortment of sushi and I honestly don't remember what we ordered. I ordered four specialty rolls and they were OK but not fantastic. Would I order these again? Probably not, but I could see myself ordering different ones. I will say the California roll was ridiculously good. Comments: for Andover, this is probably one of the best sushi places within this Metropolitan area.

Have been ordering there Chicken Chow Mein for a long time Recently they have changed the way they make itIt's bland and only has chicken and celery in it. Won't be ordering from there again until that changes...
