Joy Luck Chinese Buffet

Their dishes are hidden gems! Very tasty and authentic Chinese food at a fair price! It’s underrated in the Google Map reviews. I’ve been there several times. This is also a great place for vegetarians. This time, I went with my Indian friend who only eats vegetarian, and he liked the eggplant and tofu dishes a lot.

The food just was not that good. The steamed rice, fried dumplings, potatoes, and the green beans were the only foods I enjoyed. The fried rice looked horrible and dry. The noodles were a strange color. A decent variety for a Sunday but the hibachi grill was closed.

We were looking for a quick bite in the area due to time constraints. We decided to give this buffet a try. There was plenty of parking next to the restaurant. The exterior and interior of the restaurant probably need some upgrades. The food was average. Staff were aloof. The price was reasonable.

I have been coming to Joy Luck for many many years. In all the times I have patroned this restaurant, it has NEVER disappointed. The atmosphere is classy yet comfortable with the perfect amount of lighting and an aroma of freshly made cuisine that gets your mouth watering as soon as you enter. As for the food; I have occasionally ordered an entrée, which was absolutely perfectly prepared, but I mostly order the buffet. The buffet is quite possibly the best in St. Louis. It continuously has the freshest selections from their salad items all the way to their hot foods. No matter the time or day, I walk out, not only impressed, but left wishing I had not gotten that last plate. It is absolutely delicious. The staff who see you are taken care of are attentive and eager to assist you in any way they can. I never thirst for a refill, that's for sure!! Overall, Joy Luck is by far one of the best restaurants in St. Louis I have ever experienced, and I look forward to my next visit.

Great food friendly service with plenty of options. Food portions are 🤜🤛👍👌

Great food, great atmosphere, terrible service. The food at this Chinese restaurant was delicious, and the ambiance was quite pleasant. However, the front desk staff China guy was incredibly rude and lacked basic politeness. It was a real shame that such a negative experience detracted from the otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

If I was able to leave negative stars I would. If you want the most bland unseasoned Chinese food in St. Louis then look no further. We were so excited to try the hot pot and it was absolutely awful! It tasted like unflavored spicy fish water. I’d rather risk getting shot in the hood and get a delicious meal that this garbage.

Our favorite Chinese buffet! Don’t let the bland building scare you away. Super nice staff, good food, hot and fresh. They are always checking the food and replacing it to keep it fresh. The chili chicken is the best. Great dumplings.
