House of Joy Restaurant

I absolutely love this place. Their food is all flavorful, the portions are great, the price is fair for the portions. The service is always friendly and fast. Usually not busy so it's a nice quiet dining experience, but it does sometimes get busy and the food stays consistent.

My husband and I had lunch at House of Joy, a Chinese restaurant that also serves sushi and Japanese food. We shared the #4 Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce and the #6 Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce. The food was okay, nothing spectacular, but decent for a casual lunch. Service was fine, and it’s an option if you’re in the area, but not something we’d go out of our way for.

House of Joy is a classic Chinese restaurant like what you see in a Hollywood film or one you may have visited growing up. It reminds me of some of the local places available to us growing up in West L. A. near China Town. The ingredients are fresh, the sauces are unique but not far from traditional flavors and the dishes they offer will certainly meet your expectations. They serve up all the classics and a variety of house items like Peking wings, House of Joy chicken and many others. The portions are generous, the wait staff is very attentive and prices are reasonable. Pay House of Joy a visit and enjoy some good Chinese cuisine.

If you're in the high desert, definitely a good place to go for Asian food. Sushi rolls are delicious, so is the house of joy fried rice and the orange chicken. Friendly customer service. Just kind of slow with the orders.

Loved the sea scallops, crispy on a sticky chili sauce. The chop suey had a lot of crunchy veggies. Fried rice was also delicious. Well served. Nice music, very clean. I will try the Sushi next time, it looked very appealing. Service fast and friendly. White wine was too seeet for my taste.

I've visited this place with my family several times now, but I'm just getting around to writing a review. I was surprised and happy to see the name "Heungrae-gak," as it's the same name as a restaurant I used to frequent in La Crescenta. Pulling into the parking lot, I was shocked again by the building's exterior. It looked so old and run-down, almost like a movie set, that I wondered if it was even open. But when I opened the door, I was in for another surprise. Even during a weekday lunch, almost all the tables were full. The biggest surprises were the great taste, excellent value, and the fact that they've added Korean dishes to the menu. That day, we ordered the Pork Bulgogi and Soft Tofu Stew (Sundubu). While it wasn't exactly like the food in LA's Koreatown, it was still incredibly delicious. The sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) here is especially good. I'm a "dip it" person (찍먹), and it's perfect that way. Highly recommend!
