Joyful Kitchen 1919 Ocean Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94127

"we found a piece of steel in our food. We noticed the server when we asked for the bill, she was rude and just looked away, no apologies, no nothing. we will never return"

"My family and I had dinner here last night, the food was absolutely fantastic! The restaurant owners are very friendly and gracious. Our favorite are: the crab congee (rice soup), the shrimps, the rice cakes and the pig intestines stir fried. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended."

"Their house special rice noodles are DELICIOUS!! Tofu clay pots are very well seasoned. Cash or Venmo only. Must try good "wok hei" mom and pop shop"

"Their beef crispy noodles $17 is not very good. The consistency of the gravy was too watery, as well as too much of it. The crispy noodles quickly became soggy. The beef was not tenderized, chewy and rough. I didn't like pieces of ginger mixed in. Ginger slices are not something that is in Hong Kong style crispy noodles. At least the food came out fast and service was excellent. Joyful Kitchen was busy at 7:30pm on a Wednesday. They were already out of chow fun. Emmy's Restaurant next door is still closed for indoor dining. Maybe that's why Joyful was busy. Joyful is more known for their breakfast dishes and not dinner dishes."

"Cheong fun was good and so was the milk tea! Prices are fairly reasonable though it’s cash only( I think they also take Venmo) The porridge was a bit plain and the beef short ribs were just ok. The chicken wings are heavily battered, not in the way that I’d like but still ok. All in all, average food but not too many actual HK breakfast dishes besides cheong fun and porridge"
