Joy Wok Express - Chinese restaurant in South Gate - 3045 Century Blvd, USA

Decided to stop by before heading to work. I grabbed spicy wings, orange chicken, fried rice, and chow mein. Everything was delicious. I even bought Chow mein to go for lunch later. Also, just an FYI, it is cash only.

It is one of my best places to get some good'ol' Chinese fast food. Bring cash as it is cash only. Food is hot and usually recently made. I have been coming here for a long time, and it has never failed me. Chow mein here is my favorite from many others I tasted. Orange chicken is great. Also, my favorite, jalapeño chicken is also great. Would recommend!

Today I crave a good Chinese place to go eat with my wife and I call a good friend of mine to tell him to recommend me a good place to eat Chinese food. He told me about this place and my surprise that this place I never been to and past by there so many times was actually really good. I will definitely go back soon. And the price was really good too.

Probably the best Chinese food around the area, theirs choices are common to others Chinese places, but the quality and freshness of the food is what takes it to the top been coming for some time and ut never disappointed me. Highly recommend, the only thing is cash only.

So here is the thing about Joy Wok, you either love them - or you love them! They have been around since the early 90's when they were located behind "El Farallon" in Lynwood - next to a liquor in that huge shopping center (that's now a school) on MLK Jr. Blvd. Then they moved to a random place in South Gate. Then they moved again to where they are located currently! As a lifelong fan I must say this is the best chinese food spot there is and you will find. Their food is best when fresh but even when it isn't it's just so tasty. The original cooks from way back when it seems are not here anymore but it seems it may have been a family business and recipes because the food still tastes the same. Other chinese food spots have cold chinese food, bad after taste, dry sometimes, you can tell it's old - not JOY WOK! Trust me. Try them and you will not be dissappointed. I recommend a combo with two sides: Half Chow Mein, Half Fried Rice - black pepper chicken and orange chicken. Oh and if your feeling fat like me!? Add a Mongolian Beef (it takes about 10 more minutes for this order but it's worth it cause they make it fresh!) They close Sundays but try them out any other day of the week. Trust me. This is not your mediocre mom's and pops chinese food spot. It's delicious oh and you can also order their food for parties!

Food is decent. Used to be way better and cheaper. Youll be paying around 10$ per plate. They doo stack ur plate full!. 2 people can eat with 1 plate

Forget the price (cheap btw) the food is AMAZING very tasty and fresh definatly coming back.
