I recently dined here for a Staff Party. Service was friendly and attentive. We had a good range of the menu and all dishes were lovely. Highlight was the wontons for me! Im a sucker for a good wonton! View menu

Can never go past this restaurant when in Christchurch, have been here on a number of occasions and has never dissapointed yet. Quick and efficient for a lunch time food is fantastic well worth a visit

Perhaps this was good by Christchurch standards, but I found the food tasting pretty average. The boss at the cash register was not very interested in us, seemed more concerned about collecting payment. Not someone I'd recommend.

The waitress who bring us food is the only one can smile in this restaurant, others just don't care and the manager doesn't even look at you when you pay the bill. Food is below average and I don't think it can be called Chinese...food at all. View menu

I was visiting NZ and missed Chinese food after a week, and when I got to Christchurch I found this restaurant. It's unpretentious, very clean and features a pretty extensive menu. And, service was very quick. I have always found that you can judge the...finesse and authenticity of a Chinese restaurant by their won ton soup...and theirs is fabulous..delish, fresh tasting, and with a delicate won ton skin. All in all, the food is very good and this restaurant will easily hold its own in any city in the world. So glad I found it.

I had wanted to return to Joyful as my one previous experience was positive. We got there on a Saturday night with no reservations so couldn’t have a table...no problem we would have take away. We ordered deep fried wontons, sweet and sour pork,...combination rice and vegetable dish...we got steamed wontons...no flavour, a beef dish with more grizzle than beef, and seafood vegetable dishes with tofu I think. I called after getting home and they said bring it back! We live to far to drive back, but they just told me the meal we got was worth more than the one we ordered! We will not be back! It was an awful experience!

We are a group of Singaporean visitors, scourging the land for Asian food after a week of burgers, fries, fish and chips and steaks. Oh boy, were we satisfied. Imagine cold winds blowing at you while you run from your car to the restaurant. You...are freezing and the traffic light refuses to turn. You enter the restaurant, hungry, cold and angry. You feel a warm blast of air and a familiar waft of fried rice and noodles. You smile, you found home. Back to the review, big portions of food. most dishes are priced at we had people, we order dishes and a medium portion of rice. It was more than enough. Beef with broccoli was our favorite dish. We came back the next day for lunch. They have a che... View menu
