Joy Asia Restaurant - Marlborough

If you want off beaten American Chinese food this is the place to go.

Ordered take-out from them for the first time today Simple small order of General Gau's Chicken and Chicken Fingers.

Very good, fresh food. We usually order vegetarian and lots of veg options. Service is a little gruff

Got a pupu platter (chicken wings, crab rangoons, egg rolls, teriyaki beef, battered chicken fingers, boneless ribs), scallion pancakes, lo mein chicken, sesame noodles, orange chicken, general gau beef and house fried rice. They don't do any duck at the moment, even though it's on the menu still. The crispy stuff was crispy and not that greasy, the noodles had decent amount of chicken and other dishes weren't filled out with filler veg. The house fried rice was a little underwhelming (have had the pork fried rice another time which was really good). A lot of food, that's no Lotus Blossom in quality or presentation, but it more than met expectations for the price and what was wanted and it was tasty. The pick up experience. We ordered online from their website, paid with tip and was told it was going to be ready in 25 mins, we arrived about that and it was. Go inside, they hand you the receipt slip that needs to be signed. They're face masked, gloved and it appears they sanitise the pens between use. Good service.

The scorpion bowl in this place is soooo good and so strong! The spicy peppered scallops and calamari were amazing. Sure the place may not look the best but the drinks and the food makes it worth coming here! Highly recommend!
