Joyful House

"The food was good, but the service was out of this world! I walked in to carry out an order holding my son and the lady behind the counter offered him a rice cracker and also insisted on carrying my order out to my car since I was carrying my son. She was so nice!!! We will be back"

"I enjoy the dumplings and moo shoo the most. Their food always seems fresh and doesn’t have a strong oily taste. There are occasional inconsistencies but overall a good option for local Chinese food."

"I was craving chicken fried rice all week and joyful house never disappoints when it comes to satisfying your taste buds. It was exactly what I expected as it always is. We love this restaurant and have for years. We will always be back."

"been going to joyful house since i can remember there being a buffet and upstairs portion. my experiences have always been pleasant and amazing. my family and me have known the owners and their family for almost 20 years at this point. the food is always fresh and prices have been good even through covid. my personal favorite off the menu is the soup it’s always hot and fresh. :)"

"Joyful House is hands down the best Chinese place in Saline. I've eaten at a few places around town and this one beats them all. Best of all, the food is consistent. I've eaten here at least a dozen times and the food is always delicious. I remember Joyful House when it was a larger restaurant, complete with a buffet. The restaurant has since downsized, with a fair number of tables and a pleasant eating environment. Most tables are set for two, and as a family of seven we do have to combine some tables but it isn't too much of an issue. My go-to dish is chicken lo mein, but I'll often get chicken with mixed vegetables as well. I judge every place by how well they make these two dishes, and Joyful House really nails both. The lo mein always has tender chicken with the perfect amount of flavor; never too salty or too bland. The chicken with mixed vegetables has the perfect variety of vegetables, and the sauce is outstanding. The rice is always perfectly cooked as well. Tonight I ordered a lo mein with hot-and-sour soup, fried pork dumplings and crab rangoons. Everything was delicious, and for around $25, it was a great meal. I've yet to find a restaurant in Saline or even Ann Arbor that makes better Chinese than Joyful House. I'm confident in saying that no matter what you order, you'll enjoy."
