Joyful express runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and a relaxed pace. Meals reach the pass promptly. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Portions are generous yet well judged. Pricing lines up with the offer.
Dumplings were delicious and well priced - cheaper than elsewhere in the CBD. The interior was lovely & the lady/staff serving was nice.
Order der dumpling soup broth no flavor very bland like water down miso used frozen vege. Only good thing was dumpling. Front counter lady was asleep and menu tatty and yuck. Decor and atmosphere lacks energy or care
The restaurant is conveniently located. Have delicious food.
Very disappointed! Went for lunch before going to the movies. Rice had no seasoning. Chicken was cold and very very little of it. Stir fried veggies were bland. Spring rolls, samosas and dumplings were the same sort that you would buy in the freezer at fresh choice. Couldn’t eat it! Waste of $25 for 2 people. Also leaving the door wide open on a cold and rainy day made for an unpleasant experience.
I like the rice with fried chicken and the waiters are very good!
Don’t come here, rude staff chicken was raw and they didn’t seem to care
Average.. I ordered Kung Po chicken + fries + chicken nuggets via Uber eats, rice needs to be cooked longer it’s very hard who likes crunchy, clumpy rice? Kung po chicken had a very strong metallic taste which I guess was from the utensils they used, almost inedible. On top of that, I think they used a random photo off the internet for the fries, were completely different, pretty much just raw potatoes and definitely more like wedges not fries. Chicken nugs were good, overall not a fan and I’m not one to complain about food. Nothing like authentic Asian food, wouldn’t recommend
