Review from dean a.

Just tried some of the soups that they recently added to the menu. This is what attracted me to FOO JOY in the first place. With over 600 common recipes for soup in China-it always amazed me that most Chinese restaurants only have 3 or 4 to choose from. FOO JOY recently added Fishball soup and hot & sour seafood soup. Both are excellent but my fav. is the fishball soup; golf ball sized fishballs filled with pork in a light broth with what I believe is watercress or spinach. The hot & sour seafood soup is in a tangy red broth with chili oil, shrimp, scallops and chunks of fish (don't wear a white shirt while eating this!). Not too spicy but very flavorful.

Overall, this is the best Chinese takeout I have tasted in the area. Large portion and tasty food and for the price, it was well worth it. The people there were nice and professional. Customer service was good. I been here a few times and I have to say I love their lunch specials. It might sound silly and irrelevant comment, I like their plates. I dined in a few times and they served food on this oval plate which I think is really cute.

Decent chinese takeout. Not as slick as Mi Chongs but it does the trick this part of town. The lunch specials are pretty cheap; $5.25 for fried rice, a main, and soup or spring roll. The portions are quite sizeable; my friend and both ended up boxing up our leftovers for another meal.
I tried the Kung Pao chicken while he had the General Tso's chicken. The Kung Pao chicken was a disappointment. Not at all spicy or flavorful.The General's chicken was pretty darn good. I would order that next time. The pork fried rice that came with the lunch special was quite tasty; it definitely made the trip worth it.
I was starving when i ordered so that might have an effect on how the food tasted. Will probably return once more for a follow up. Maybe the food will be better, maybe it won't hold up.
Update: I went again recently and tried the Wonton soup, fried rice and chicken and broccoli. The Wonton Soup broth was very tasty. A surprise especially since they claim they don't use any MSG. The Wontons were a disappointment. The skin was thick and tough -- it was like pizza dough. I ended up eating the inside and leaving the skin in the bowl. The Wontons were also ice cold when I bit into them, which means they were pre-cooked and put in the fridge, only to be released into the semi-boiling cauldron when I ordered a Wonton soup. Boo.
The fried rice was decent, the chicken and broccoli OK. It had the thick brown sauce which they cook beef and broccoli with, which I wish I'd known before cause then I would've ordered it with a light garlic sauce. Much lighter and tastier I feel. Hunan Springs does it the latter.
A Hispanic lady came in at the same time as me and ordered the chicken and broccoli. No big deal. She then proceeded to have an argument with her man about his loser job on her cell phone at approximately 80 dBs. Fairly entertaining but after 10min it got painful. If you enjoy this kind of thing, do a sit down meal in Foo Joy. Otherwise do takeout. -

I've never eaten at the restaurant, but we get delivery from there every few weeks. It always comes in a reasonable amount of time and is hot and fresh.
They have great vegetarian options for me and my husband has been happy with the meat.
I think their prices are super reasonable and the portions are generous. -

Any Chinese food place that has large faded photos that span the entire restaurant complete with taped-over prices means that you get what you pay for; so I certainly wasn't disappointed with the $3.25 (small) serving of General Tso's tofu, which was huge, gooey, and tasty.
Hot & Sour soup was tasty and tangy, pretty average and highly gelatinous. The Moo Shu vegetable was decent - but we had to ask for our plum sauce and that's almost the best part of Moo Shu.
They have a good selection of vegetarian options.
We recommend take out because that's what they expect and the woman was surprised we wanted to eat in and didn't want to deal with us. Also there was some serious 'backstage' office work going on at one of the other tables where the (maybe) owners were doing paperwork and having loud conversations in very animated Chinese.
There was a plastic army man on one of the other tables. He was cool.
