text: Been here a couple times but last week was the first in awhile Figured it was time to write a review on this place now having visited it once againnMy mom loves this place For this latest visit it was a family affair I do not know how weird this sounds For I upon walking into Joyful House the ambiance feels like how I am used to a chinese restaurant feeling like I will admit the food is slightly pricier here To be fair the food is for the most part decent to very good They do serve complimentary jasmine rice which not every place would have Jasmine is very fragrant and less starchy than say a long grain calrose It does cost more and better at least I think so Along with complimentary hot tea Even though most chinese restaurants serve these items complimentary it is worth mentioning since I am aware some places charge for themnService overall has been ok Everyone is very friendly and helpful There seems to be a lag sometimes when it gets real busy to get something or having water or hot tea refilled And believe me this place does get busy I give Joyful House a solid stars
