About the Business

Located in Highland Park, Los Angeles, JOY is a casual neighborhood eatery that specializes in regional Taiwanese cuisine. Our menu features traditional dishes inspired by Taiwan's street food culture, using fresh and simple ingredients. From minced pork on rice to thousand-layer pancake, our offerings aim to showcase the flavors of Taiwan while providing a distinctive dining experience for our guests and community.
In addition to our food menu, we also offer a wide selection of tea drinks, craft beers, and wines to complement our dishes. Our space was once home to Elsa's Bakery, and in homage to its heritage, we bake Mexican wedding cookies daily in-house, with proceeds going to local nonprofit partners in the Highland Park area.

Reviews
"What can I say? This neighborhood sometimes doesn’t feel like home but it’s places like Joy that really help change that. First of all the cashier is attentive, the servers are friendly, fast and efficient. This place has amazing staff and food. The prices are also reasonable and their menu is relatively easy to understand. I had the joy special which came with an appetizer, small soup and a sandwich and iced tea. I chose the pork belly sandwich and it was so delicious the bread was so soft and I wanted to buy a roll of it. I also got the wonton soup which was so flavorful as well. I wasn’t a fan of the seaweed salad but everything else exceeded my expectations. I want to come back to try different menu items but this place is definitely top tier. Parking is a bit tricky but I suggest coming on a weekday when there is less people."
"Phenomenal dinner experience here. Great food, great service, I have zero complaints about this spot. The flavors were so delicious and the atmosphere was so comforting. Will definitely be back"
"I absolutely love this place! It has a great atmosphere as it’s really busy, we came here around 1pm! The food is absolutely incredible, light but filling. And everything tasted so great especially the bun, which was my favorite. I wouldn’t recommend the sea salted caramel drink with green tea as it’s just cream with green tea. I also love the hipster elements here, the plants and the light wood really brings this place alive ! The service is great and everyone is so friendly and attentive."
"We ordered the pancakes with egg, shrimp wontons soup, and garlic green vegetables. They were delicious overall. However, the greens didn’t come with garlic, instead it came with braised pork."
"On one of those crisp and cloudy days in LA, and you are a bit melancholic and longing for a coziness feeling of home this is the place to go. The comfort food of your dreams, it’ll warm your stomach and heart, cooked to the perfection with love. Usually there is a line outside, but I promise you it is worth the wait and anticipation. The sides are amazing, especially the peanut and the mushrooms. We had pork over rice, mapo tofu and noodles and I can’t think of any favorites because they are all rich in flavor. The prices are fair and decent and nothing crazy, perfect food for the working class. This is the sort of experience that you can use to justify paying high rents in LA and be happy that you are here now experiencing this food."
