Joy Luck

The food was good, but not so good that I would go back there and deal with the rude service. She acted like I was inconveniencing her.

Great food. I order Teriyaki chicken stick. cheese wonton .orange chicken. shrimp w garlic. All good.

Sorry but I don’t see what’s so special here
My son and I ordered takeout at the end of a long day. In spite of our ravenous hunger, we were underwhelmed.
Positives? Egg rolls and Lo Mein, but they were nothing special. They only get mentioned here because we try to look for the positives.
As for the rest of the meal, Egg Foo Young had no flavor, and neither did the fried rice. The shrimp in the shrimp and broccoli were over cooked and the dish also lacked flavor. (On the upside, the broccoli was fresh.)
All in all, we wouldn’t go out of our way to drive back; as a matter of fact, we have been in People’s Plaza since our visit, but skipped them.

My favorite Chinese food store. Been going there as long as I remember. Never had a bad dish from here.

Joy Luck is the best Chinese place I have eaten in Delaware.
My wife and I used to get their dumplings (I got the steamed, my wife, the fried). Now my wife gets Kung Pao Chicken, and I get Seafood Lo Mein in a white sauce, a little spicy (and no, it’s not on the menu that way. :D).
Anyway, the dumplings are homemade/​handmade (I’ve watched), and they use local ingredients for the non-​Chinese stuff (e.g. cabbage, chicken, etc.).
Tina and Andy are the nicest people that I’ve met, and I’ve never had a bad meal there in about 5 years.
Great food, worth the trip. Best take-​out place that I know of; I’ve got friends that make the drive to get it.
Highly recommended.

I usually partake of their orange chicken and some pork fried rice. This is an okay place to grab some Chinese take out in Delaware. A little out of the way for me, but worth the extra drive.
The fried rice is well cooked. Flavor is distributed evenly along with nice chunks of char siu. Which does bring up a good point, the char siu has a crisp developed crust with firm meat without soggy parts. However, remember these are only the chunks in my fried rice. While standard fried rice I do think that if the fried rice is bad then the place is a lost cause, but Joy Luck does a good job, better then some but standard fare.
The orange chicken is delcious. The peices are small, evenly breaded without that over-​doughy mouth feel, and evenly cooked. Orange sauce has some actual orange peel; more likely for show then flavor though. The sauce is thick but not overly sweet and cloying. Honestly this is probably one of the better orange chicken dishes that I have had at various Delaware chinese take out places.
The hot and sour soup is a little disappointing. The stock is overly flavored with shoyu leading to a more one dimensional soup then I prefer. The other ingredients are regular hot and sour soup fare. This was the low point of my meal, but not bad enough to make me throw it out.
