Reviews for House of Joy Chinese Restaurant in San Antonio, TX

Orange chicken was ok. My fried rice was old and thats bad at lunch time. The rice tastes like it was from yesterday and... reheated. Same with my egg roll. It was disgusting to say the least. Best thing about my order was the egg drop soup. Will notbe back again. Read more

A hidden gem for Asian cuisine. The restaurant is impeccably clean and the service is always great. The food is always served... hot and is consistent quality. I enjoy the low-key atmosphere. Read more

Horrible service and the food was worse. I’m not sure what it was that I actually ate. I ordered the sesame chicken. My glass... sat empty from halfway thru my meal until I paid. The server was inattentive. I felt like a ghost and there was only 3 othertables being served at the slow time between lunch and dinner rush. Read more

Staff is very nice. Ambiance is nice, too. Very clean. Food? Nope. Not good. I had chicken and veggies and it had zero flavor.... Nothing. The egg roll was tough and wouldn’t go down easily even though I chewed it well. My first and last visit. Sorry,House Of Joy. No joy for me. JF Read more

Not a lot of flavor. The egg drop soup was good but the rest of the meal was disappointing. I got spicy chicken but the only... thing with flavor was the jalapeños; the chicken and sauce didn't have much flavor on its own. Others in the group weredisappointed as well. And even though everyone ordered their own food, everything was brought out on family plates, so you hadto scoop everything onto your own plate which got messy. Read more

Place was super clean. However, It had a really strong smell for me. I couldn’t make out what or where it was coming from. The... service was wonderful. The food came out in less than 5 minutes. I ordered orange chicken and I honestly only had 2 bites of it.I couldn’t taste the orange and it had such a strong artificial flavor. My daughter got the sesame chicken which she actuallyliked. I thought it was pretty good too. The wonton soup wasn’t great but we ate it nonetheless. Its not too expensive. Read more

Look at the reviews they talk about portion size, great view of the fish etc.... Are you kidding me? This place should not be in... business. I was impressed by the atmosphere when I arrived and looked at google reviews thinking what the hey? It was awful. Itwas lunch, I ordered Curry Chicken lunch special. It came out in six mins and it tasted like it. What was clear is that the foodwas all made ahead of time and they warmed it up . The chicken, was thick and tasteless, the rice was "Spanish rice" notChinese. The egg roll tasted like it was left over from several days before. I could not take more than one bite. The fact thatthere was no one there at 12:00 noon should have been a sign shame on me. I must say even the "Hot" chili oil was not hot howdoes that happen? The coke was good served in a big glass, but while I asked for a coke I think it was really a pepsi. They donot serve beer or wine so don't even think about that. Do your self a favor and don't even consider including take out. Read more

Food: The food was delivered so fast and had a generous amount of serving. The taste was not much it's somehow bland. The soup... was better than the main course. Giving 2 stars for the food as after we dine in here I felt sick and starting feel uneasy in mystomach. Place: It was clean as far my eyes can see and they practice social distancing. Service: There's only one ladyserving everyone she's doing great as we are not much. Nothing extra or special. Read more
