Reviews of Joyful Restaurant
Y.
We had dinner here and the prawns with cashew nuts was our favourite. For four persons who have small appetites generally, three small dishes was all we needed. Definitely will be back.💕👍
C.
Love the dumpling with vinegar sauce. The crispy skin Chiken is so well done with crispy skin and moist inside. Yum. Service is good this time, ice water with lemon... great touch.
K.
Had dinner with my wife here tonight, the place was very busy however, we didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive. I was blown away with the amount of food on each plate, it was tasty and a delight to eat. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. Let me say if you want a good feed them this is the place to go.
P.
Very big and beautiful Chinese restaurant. Good verity of foods are available. We ordered dumpling which was delicious in taste. We paid 26 nzd for 20 dumpling which is good price though. Stuff behaviour was not good. We asked them for extra sauce but he denied and later we asked his manager then she told him to give us extra sauce (happily) but still he didn't bring extra sauce and making a very rude face. I don't know why he was doing like that. This was happened first time to me in New Zealand. Otherwise I like restaurant and food.
N.
Absolutely delicious food!! The Cashew chicken came with so many vegetables, so felt very healthy. The wasabi sauce prawns have an amazing flavour and texture, and are not actually spicy! And the tiramisu cake from the bakery section was a perfect ending to the meal! Would highly recommend the food at Joyful Restaurant :)
G.
Went as a party of 8 and had great service considering it was fairly busy. Good food and value for money. Highly recommend.
J.
Wonderful faultless food and service. Amazing range of dishes. Something for every taste. Love how quickly we got our food. One of my favourite restaurants.
P.
A really busy restaurant which also does some really good Peking duck. Arguably one of the best.
The staff were friendly and the place was quite clean despite being fully packed.
They also do some really nice cakes which are sold at the back near the cashier, I would really recommend the cheesecake as it was soft and jiggly, not too sweet and almost melts in your mouth despite it being eaten the next evening.
K.
Great customer service, always friendly and great chicken & corn soup, chicken and vegetables, steak fried rice and egg fu young. Will definitely be back, Thank You!

“Best Chinese Restaurant in Christchurch”
Thank goodness for Joyful Restaurant, I love the food here, I've been dining at this as well as the old location for over 15 years and never have I been disappointed. Egg foo yong, crispy skin pork, lemon chicken, spicy squid and fried dumplings are my favourite dishes. Love Joyful.
D.
Have been coming to Joyful for 10+ years. Always good. Really nice Peking duck, tofu fish hot pot and dumplings. Would recommend. Good for large groups, and sharing.
R.
The Joyful Restaurant is a destination for many in the Chch community and for those whom like me occasionally return to Christchurch. The food is the best of Chinese cuisine, plentiful and extremely tasty. The staff flow around the tables taking orders and delivering food and drinks, usually with a smile. I have been eating at this restaurant for over 30 years and recommend it to all who enjoy the richness of Chinese cuisine and culture.
B.
Dishes were flavourful, the only thing was we had 2 dishes given to us early and had to ask for the other 3 dishes twice, then 20 minutes later they appeared. They were very busy at the time
H.
Very popular spot. Great for large groups of 6+. Order different dishes and share using the rotating centres of the tables.
M.
My favourite Chinese restaurant in Christchurch for over 10 years. Highly recommended.
J.
An excellent Chinese restaurant in Riccarton. Delicious cusine and the dumplings are one of my favourites. If you like fish the king prawns are a must. The restaurant is very inviting with wonderful staff, is a pleasure to visit. Comes highly recommended.
m.
Yummy food there. Deep fried chicken and lemon chicken are so crispy and tasty
A.
Fav Chinese restaurant in Chch. Big restaurant with a big, tasty menu. Very busy so service is not great which is a slight pity
C.
Decent Chinese cuisine at affordable prices. Remember to book in advance during dinner time as there can be a large crowd
B.
Not knowing the area we feel we hit the jackpot with Joyful Rest,Staff friendly and the meal superb,would not hesitate to return
A.
The food here is very good. The portion is generous, the service is good, and the taste is more authentic. . . . .
D.
Ashame the food took so long to come out to us. Over half an hour after ordering.
The wooden Chairs are too hard on our bottoms.
Food was outstanding. So delicious.
The waiter was very polite and easy to understand his English.
S.
The food are a bit salty for me, good environment, service is good. The price is acceptable
w.
Also a good meal my son who is 40 said the best Chinese meal in new Zealand go and try yourself you won't be disappointed
D.
Disappointing. In past Joyful restaurant has been reliable, tasty, and has served good portion sizes. Tonight we ordered the half Peking Duck, we did not get half a duck worth of meat. It tasted very bland. We also ordered the roast pork belly, it took a very long time to arrive and the rice we ordered to accompany it was almost cold by then. The pork belly itself was tasty, and worth testing, but the price for what it is was pushing the envelope of good value. I'm not sure we'll be visiting again. We spent over $70 and not one dish impressed us.
J.
Authentic Chinese food (if you ask for it), Service is always quick and the restaurant is always busy. Well priced.
S.
Chinese restaurant. One of the best in Christchurch.With reasonable price.👍👌 Always good.
G.
Great taste of a mapatofu and a beef hofun. Long waiting time is a little frustrating but it's ok.
L.
The food was a bit salty for me. But overall I like the food here.
T.
one of the best choices for Chinese seafood restaurants in the Riccarton area, the place is spacious and the menu is quite varied.
J.
Excellent food , authentic flavour!!
K.
One of the best overrall
Treat yourself to some great food
R.
Nice and simole chinese food. Good value.
Believe me: the small portion is enought for 2 hungry guys!
T.
Great food, left there felling full. Slight mix up with our order, gave us ginger beef instead of beef and mushrooms but tasted great so happy overall
P.
Take away only used. Easy to phone and give order over phone. Found menu on website. Good selection of Chinese food. Sealed with a promise of duck being served with pancakes. Very nice, a lot of fresh vegetables. Large portions and able to reheat the next day in provided plastic dishes
J.
If you want great Chinese, excellent variety of dishes, pleasant service AND really good value, you will not be disappointed.I go to other Asian restaurants but go back to this one at least several times a year.
I.
Beautiful food with generous servings and a tentative service.
C.
Excellent food, great for communal eating with a bunch of friends! The tofu pork dish in clay pot was very tasty.
T.
I think I can comfortably speak for most Cantabrians when I say that this place is officially Christchurch's best Chinese restaurant. These guys take Chinese cuisine to a level well beyond what you may be thinking for those of you thinking about the Chinese you might find at your local takeaway store. It is as much a part of Christchurch as the trams, the gondola or the cathedral. Their food is not to be missed nor their beautiful baked goods!
S.
Great service good manager food fresh hot
b.
Nice staff and. Very good food that we shared will be going back
J.
Everything here is super tasty, when I lived in the area used to go once a week but then moved. I have made long distance drives to go here too. Great food, great service and gotta love the lazy Susan tables for large groups!
M.
Joyful Joyful and triumphant....Best dumplings in town
S.
I had the pork pancakes, the spring onions I couldn't chew, mum had prawn stir fry, it had no flavour, we had to wait a long time for our mains, people who came in after us got served their meals before us, I'm disappointed as Joyful was a lovely meal time before this
D.
We got a delicious meal for 6 people. All the mains came out in good time, lemon chicken, sweet and sour pork, fried rice and more. Except the tofu which came out once all the food had already been eaten.
B.
Super food very reasonable prices.
H.
Awesome food, great service
A.
Had a wonderful night at this restaurant. It was very busy with all tables taken as it was Saturday night. So glad we booked. 12 of us around the table but that was fun. Plate after plate of delicious food until we could eat no more. Staff did a tremendous job keeping us supplied with food and drinks and being fun to deal with at the same time. Recommend
D.
Great food and affordable prices
S.
Good and safe choice for an Asian restaurant. Famous for their pan fried dumplings. Noteworthy dishes include XO beef, lemon chicken, sweet and sour sauce. Many other dishes worth trying. Good portions. Good for sharing with groups. Book ahead for dinner as its quite popular.
A.
2020 I've been going here over the years. Over the last few years the food has dropped off a little bit. I ate here last week the food has picked up again. It was really good like it use to.be.
2013First of all they have moved to riccarton rd 102. Good food and service. Good for group. Does pay to book. Not over priced.
J.
Lovely staff and amazing food, the Thai style fried rice is to die for! 10/10 would reccomend
B.
I've been going here for years. Brings back memories of my late nan too. So joyful holds a place in my heart.
Love their dumplings 😋
J.
Went to Joyful a week ago. Went as a group of 12 people for dinner. We all opted for the Banquet B option. In terms of value for money for the group it worked out pretty well. It was $36 p/person and everyone left satisfied. The food options were all typical crowd pleasers (chicken with cashew nuts, satay chicken, etc) and tasted okay. Nothing amazing but a good place to visit for a group
M.
Great food (chicken wings & garlic pork are superb), friendly and professional staff, an awesome night out!
M.
Always like coming here. The food is always consistent and tasty
q.
Great food very tasty roast duck & pork
s.
Food was lovely and staff fantastic
L.
The food is wonderful, as I recalled from pre-earthquake days. The decor is a minor improvement from then. Service was slack for a slow Thursday night, we had to ask for water every time we ran out. However, the passive service won't stop me from returning!
R.
I can see why the restaurant got full it's great ! had bean and chilli mince pork real nice small serve very big .Good service good food .
C.
Nice restaurant. The peking duck with pancakes are amazing. Staff is less impressive. Took ages to take our order. Some of the staff didnt have good english so it was difficult to get our order across. Food comes in two sizes, the smaller size is still quite big which is a good thing. Plenty of beer and wine to select as well as the standard non-alcoholic beverages
D.
The food experience was great and enjoyed the meal but!!!!! the service was almost non existent - very few smiles and didn't feel welcome. We hadn't booked and we were happy with the table by the door. We ordered and one by one the dishes came out, someone passed the table and slapped down our invoice but at this stage one of our party had not received his meal - some minutes later he approached the front desk and reluctantly said she would investigate. She arrived with the missing dish but with no apology (actually she plonked it down), the dish was still hot and very enjoyable but the service was shocking. While we were eating the staff cleared a table across from us while the patrons were leaving, some of them still sitting down - it was the most awful service I had ever seen. We went to impress a friend from out of town but don't think we will be back.
S.
Casual, family-friendly Chinese restaurant. If you like Chinese restaurant, I would highly recommend Joyful restaurant. Every item went above and beyond expectations.
A.
It’s a Good Chinese restaurant. The shrimp, fried rice all was excellent.
L.
Quickly shown to table and given menus and a glass of water then the wait began. Finally in frustration we went looking for a waiter. On the point of leaving someone arrived at the table no apology no smiling. Food quickly arrived and was good but will not return service slack.
T.
It was a great place to dine, the food tastes great but quite expensive over all quite good 👍
L.
Delicious fresh food, friendly staff, clean restuarant and great atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Reasonly priced.
D.
Nice place to family dine or with friends. Larger space make you feel better. It has good Peking Duck dish. Good portion of food. Very tasty. Good prices. Well done.
D.
Outstanding food in Christchurch. Best Chinese restaurant in town. Never try you will never know. Once we been there we go there every week. The owner friendly to deal with.
S.
Must be considered an icon in Christchurch. Consistently tasty food and quick service. Remember to book as they don't have many available tables during peak hours.
J.
I'm definitely a fan of the Joyful. Good crispy pork, crispy skin chicken, soups, noodles, just all in all good with a very pretty interior.
P.
Best Chinese food in Christchurch
C.
Good food as always. It's our Chinese kitchen. 😋😋😋
K.
Good place to eat, great portion sizes. Friendly staff. Able to sit and chat quite awhile, not too noisy. Parking at back.
J.
Great place to take your friends or family to have lunch or dinner. One of the best restaurants for Chinese style food.
Unfortunately, you get that occasional, "joyful" waiter/waitress that are rude and sad.
C.
Food was good but nothing special. The prices on the menu were actually about 4-5$ more per plate than the prices shown on the menu on google.maps
A.
Solid Chinese restuarant in a convenient location on Riccarton Road near to Westfield. Parking at the back. Food is quite nice, prices are about average. Good atmosphere as its popular with both Asians as well as other ethnicities. They also have cakes and bakery items available for purchase there.
K.
The best Chinese restaurant in Christchurch. Be sure to call and make reservations as this place gets packed for dinner. The peaking duck is by far the best I've ever had.
周.
Delicious food. Reasonable price. Good servise.
T.
It is simply best food in the town now. Really enjoy the roast duck. Nice waiter. Great food. Recommended for family guest.
P.
My favourite restaurant around love the food so yum!! We will be returning soon! Thank you joy ful
P.
Great food and they sell cute cakes too!
B.
Regulars at joyful for at least 10 years, us and many others including prominent chef mates in the CHC area .. Amazing pan fried dumplings, awesome spicy squid. The chicken corn soup is a staple but do share anything more than a small. Mains are great, sweet sour pork, fried noodles, noodle soup broths are superb.. Kung Po pork or chicken is hard to pass by. Have to fill the joyful craving once a month! Love is the word. Thanks Joyful crew for staying and serving CHC!
A.
Popular, economical and hellish fun trying to read Chinese (lucky my mate can). This is good food...
B.
The main was good, the food was enjoyable. Though we found the service was poor, we waited a long time to be served, and for the food to come out. I'd come again, but service needs to improve first.
A.
Fantastic service, delicious good sized meals, will visit again for sure!
F.
ALLWAYS DEPENDABLE ,HAVE BEEN DINING AT THE JOYFUL IN RICCARTON AND THERE FIRST HOME IN ARMAGH ST FOR WELL OVER 25 YEARS,STILL A WELL RUN FAMILY RESTAURANT .GREAT TO GO WITH A GROUP ,SO YOU CAN TEAR INTO THE MENU.DUMPLINGS ARE A MUST.

Nice environment and really decent Chinese style food. Definitely a notch higher than most Chinese type restaurants with better quality food and nicer environmental than average!
S.
Quickly seated and ordered (though we were lucky to get a table, be sure to book), delicious food and huge portions, so much so that we all though 2 small dishes each would be enough, but we all ended up with takeaway containers!
J.
Best Chinese food in Christchurch in my opinion! A bit pricey but we always leave feeling satisfied.
Get the fried dumplings.
J.
Great taste and good service. Friendly staff. I recommend - BUT make a reservation. I couldn't believe almost all the tables were reserved for dinner!
A.
Food was way better than the service. Waiter managed to get 3 of 4 orders wrong.
L.
They say the quality of the food in a Chinese restaurant can be judged by the number of Chinese who eat there. When we've been here it has been packed with Chinese! Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff.
J.
Service is really good - owners are very friendly and the servings are very filling. Lovely place will definitely come again.
