Joy Luck House

Sweet and sour chicken was delicious!Order at the counter and quick prep.Sweet-and-sour chicken and steamed rice were exactly as expected. The cheese wontons are more like crab Rangoon's but we're pretty runny. Was looking for a good egg roll, but they only have spring rolls... Would probably try those instead of the cheese wontons next time.

I wanted some authentic fried rice and finally got my fix!!! I wish this place was by my house because I'd be eating this rice everyday!! There's nothing better than some good rice and it's so hard to find it in my Montgomery county. I got the combination fried rice and it was amazing! Shrimp. Chicken. And beef lol. I'll definitely make it a point to stop here more often when I'm in the city. I just did a quick pickup order for the rice so I don't have much to say about the service or the layout.

The broth was beefy, flavorful, and super hot, the noodles were a hint of chew and bouncy just like I like it. The beef and tendons were super juicy and tender; all together everything was a perfect bowl of beef noodles soup. The sticky rice was just okay. The place is small and cozy and the service was very homely and welcoming.

While the restaurant is small, and right off of the busy road. IIt offered a cozy and welcoming atoatmosphere. The lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful with our orders. The food was really tasty and was prepared to orderl. The steamed soup buns were sooooo good and I had to get a second order before leaving our meal. The chicken in garlic sauce was really flavorful and was something I would get again. The Beef Szechuan was alright but I would probably choose something else next time as it wasn't as flavorful as everything else. All around great section for the evening.

Great beef noodles. Came for dinner on a weekday and it wasn't very busy. The beef was tender and flavorful with the right mix of spices and salt. The portion is typical of DC and pricing around $15-20 for most items after tax. You order at the counter and they call your number for food. It's all disposable wear and you can remove your own trash. Casual, quick, and good.

We ordered takeout, although eating in would've been a fine option as well! Easy to overlook because of its 'hole in the wall' vibe, but in my opinion, well worth the visit and price. Absolutely LOVED this food, all was delicious. We ordered a beef dish that was advertised on a photo outside the restaurant and that really stole the show. Dumplings were fantastic too.

The food came out quickly and it was so good. It was so affordable as well and right in the middle of gallery place. Hope to make it back on a less hot day!

Stayed at a local hotel and wanted some quick food on my way to a show at the arena. Joy Luck House is one of those hidden spots that people probably overlook because it's not aesthetically appealing. However, the quality, service, prices and most importantly, taste of the food makes up for it all. I love Chinese food, but wasn't that hungry so I ordered a bunch of dumplings: pork (fried, 6pcs), chicken (fried, 6pcs) and shrimp. Each of them, delicious. While I was there, there were so many DoorDash and UberEats drivers coming in and out to pick up food and it's just so telling of how delicious the food was.I have to say that the boba was decent. I think it'll satisfy the craving because the bubbles themselves were good. The tea however, I could say otherwise. The black milk tea tasted traditional and was good, but the honeydew milk tea tasted artificial. Definitely not a boba spot, but good to satisfy a craving or to accompany the food.

Ordered via DoorDash, the food is very delicious. I recommend the soup dumplings and pork bao!
