Joy Inn Restaurant in Belfast

Portion is good but if possible star giving free bees as price is really very high

My meal never arrived. I went to the restaurant & showed them my receipt & they gave me a replacement. This is my third issue with just eat claiming they delivered when they didn’t. Lesson learned I’m deleting the app. Still waiting for my refund

very small portions, way over priced for what it is

All the tubs were only half full, charged 3.50 for 1/2 tub of curry sauce

portion sizes were big, I got Peking chicken, chicken fried rice and chips, Peking chicken was amazing, chicken was so soft and melted in my mouth, and rice was so nice, chips are definitely nicest chips I've had from a Chinese, will definitely be back

delicious food and very good service 😋

Forgot the curry sauce.. I couldn't eat it dry then

Rang to ask if they serve halal and they hung up hearing the question. Disgraceful. Shouldn’t operate a business with such bigotry hatred.

I already done all this they didint sent me none my order only 2 fried rice and curry salt chilly chicken which I didint order none off it had to throw it all in bin as kid and. Us can’t eat chillis so I want a refund on my order I paid 33 odd pound for nothing witch is a descrace I think and Iv done this twice and hvint hers nothin bk from yous

A good quality Chinese takeaway and friendly, helpful service upon collection.

Wild prices for seriously small portions.. chicken was ok.. rice was mediocre.. sauce was over £3 for. 1/4 full small tub.. chips were fries not chips and mostly dried up.. wouldn’t recommend IMO!

super fast delivery, amazing food thank you

After read the reviews myself and my husband went to this restaurant and where delighted with the service and the food was outstanding I highly recommend the chicken in chilli and honey sauce is so yummy 😋

honey chilli chicken was lovely however the spring rolls weren't as good as they usually are . 2 of them only had a few bits of shredded carrots in it other 1 had loads of vegetables also all 3 were burnt on the bottom.

Food was delicious. Good portions and piping hot

This place hasn't changed a bit in all the years it's been here. Amazing food, very quick service. And friendly staff

Our food was plentiful and very tasty. I wouldn’t order from anywhere else.

Lovely Chinese. Hard to find in Belfast

We visited this second-floor Chinese restaurant in Belfast, a short walk from our hotel. The ambience and decor were cool and calming. Each table had a tablecloth and beautifully folded napkins. The menu was extensive and the prices reasonable. Service was very efficient. The food was delicious, especially the wonton soup. All 4 people in our party were happy with their selections and agreed on quality and quantity. I would definitely recommend Joy Inn restaurant to everyone.

Absolutely gorgeous 10/10 will order again

Food was so cold and so unsasified

definitely order again food was amazing

Always a great feed from Joy Inn. Food always delivered fast and hot also!

Excellent food!! Have ordered many times. Prawn crackers the best!!!

Tiny portions, no dip with gyoza, crab was one mouthfull.

excellent if your on a diet as portion size was tiny.

Time kept changing. When arrived it had spilled in the bag.

Driver was excellent very friendly and helpful. Food was great 10/10

Fantastic Chinese Restaurant, Joy Inn. Myself and 7 family members enjoyed a birthday meal 25/8/24. Food was superb! Incredible staff, so attentive in every aspect. We all thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to returning. Would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed in any way. Many thanks for a terrific birthday meal.

Excellent food and service as always. 👍🏻

Called in on the strength of online reviews and really glad we did. Hit the Sunday special of starter and main for £13.95. Excellent value, no small portions and of course most importantly great tasting food. Sticky off pudding shared to top it off and this was spot on too. No faults at all - well done.

First time visiting Belfast and therefore this beautiful restaurant! The food was mouth watering delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. Cannot fault the staff as they were attentive and very friendly. 100% go back next time in Belfast and urge others to give them a try (if they haven’t already)

Ordered from the just eat service they offer. Ordered chicken fried rice with no peas and of course they don’t listen it’s full of peas in fact I’d say there’s more peas than rice in the box spent more time removing the peas than they probably did cooking it. So by the time I got to eat it of course it was freezing cold. The chips are not Chinese chips either more like McDonald’s fries. For £52 for 3 people and two of them being rice dishes it’s definitely not worth the money if they don’t listen to what the customers want. Wouldn’t take for someone to have an allergen to anything because they don’t adhere to customers preferences. Won’t be eating from this company again!

So disappointed I wasted my money on this. The chips were horrible dried out French fries and the black bean sauce just wasn’t nice

Staying in the hotel beside this restaurant and the amount of mice and rats we have seen early hours of this morning is ridiculous plus food was awful stay clear

Brilliant place and excellent food! And Benny is the man so helpful couldn't do enough! All staff were excellent

They made us feel very welcome and the food is very good.

There were 21 of us (teammate traveling) great service, super kind and pleasant. Nothing to complain about, everyone loved it.

Here for the first time & the food was absolutely delicious! Best Chinese i have had. Friendly staff.

beef was fatty and hard to chew

Food was really tasty & delivered on time

nice food however got 2 rice instead of 2 chips

simple order, simple delivery, happy customer. bit raging not to get prawn crackers though after spending 20 quid?

Best Chinese I've had in 5+ years. Wow.

Food and staff were all absolutely fantastic. Was the best meal I had out of my 5 day trip in Belfast. Place was clean and nicely laid out . Would definitely recommend this lovely wee place .

The food was beauiful everything was pipping hot. Thank you 😀

The food was delicious and piping hot. Thank you Benny and staff for a delightful meal

Good food but always forget items I’ve paid for and the can never do anything about it because the don’t have there own delivery drivers! But then you can’t clam a refund off just eat either so just go to the loss every time

food was still piping hot on arrival

The best Chinese food I've tasted in years!

Great food decent sized portions cheap delivery

The beef curry is horrible and more like soup. Extremely watery and the beef was terrible too, a shame as any other time been good.

delivery was quick, very disappointing, sausages were burnt, chips were soggy, no pork in the rice, gravy was good though

Curry was nice but very bland I’ve always chose this restaurant when I’ve took the kids for a meal but was disappointed with the taste on the takeaway curry

Absolutely disgusted I have ordered from this restaurant a few times but 3 times i have not received my order , just eat delivery service has let me down with no response because the delivery driver couldn’t understand English he went to the wrong address then blocked my number I didn’t receive refund it’s just money threw away on there part it’s constantly an on going issue with the delivery service an no refund at all the restaurant was very helpful but just eat really are a take on

Total waste of money, both dishes douced in garlic and while inloge garlic there is no other taste to the dishes than honking garlic... Waste of time.and money

Visited with husband while on holiday in Belfast. We arrived just before 9 pm but weren't told this was a problem. Ordered food. Starters came in minutes. Mine was nice, but I was still eating it when the waiter took plate away from me. I had put cutlery down but was dipping crackers into the mango sauce. Didn't want to make a scene so just let it go. Mains came swiftly. As I was eating one of the waiters stood staring at me and making me feel extremely uncomfortable. He made me feel as though I was keeping him from getting away on time . I felt so uncomfortable I asked for my food to go. When bill was brought over I told waiter how uncomfortable my entire experience had been and suddenly he couldn't understand English even although he did not have a problem prior to this. I explained about 5 times how both himself and the other waiter had made me feel and when he eventually decided to confirm he had understood me he told me they close at 9.30 although on their website it says 10pm. I then said why had he allowed us to take a seat and order and he turned really nasty and snatched the payment off my husband and glared a deathly stare at me. It's safe to say we won't be returning. Also, food was OK but vastly overpriced I would have given no stars at all but had to give one to be able to write a review.

Outstanding food and service! Restaurant was already busy at 5pm on a Tuesday which is a good sign!! Lovely staff, couldn't be friendlier!

Its a good traditional Chinese, my dad loves it especially the duck in orange sauce and banna desert. Very friendly service.

Server was not friendly at all, did not feel welcome at all. The food was average and the chicken satay was very dry. I saw that it was meant to be baby friendly but although I was given a high chair (straps were filthy) that was the extent of their ‘baby friendliness.’ There are NO baby changing facilities at this restaurant. I had to change my baby on the floor in the toilets which is unacceptable. Going out to eat with a baby is stressful enough without having to crouch on a dirty bathroom floor. Will not recommend.

The food wasn’t nice and the portions where very small. I also got a satay sauce and it was as orange as baby food

Wow best chowmein ever! Absolutely perfect and fast delivery. Can't beat joy inn

Fantastic service, very attentive but not Intrusive. The food was very good, being seafood it could have been less than appetising but the dish was excellent. I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was quiet and relaxing and I appreciated the lack of background music. The seating was comfortable and I think the decor was very interesting and thoughtfully designed.

Amazing food and so fresh by far the best Chinese I have had in years

22 of us went for something to eat on Joy Inn food and service was brilliant defiantly be back again

The incredible owner of this restaurant walked back and forth in the rain to my hotel across the street to deliver my food and allow me to pay with my one credit card I have left after everything else had been hacked, preventing me from paying for anything. I was afraid to use the Just Eat delivery company because they lied about delivering food to me. I called him both to warn him against using the fraudulent delivery company and to see if someone could deliver his restaurant's food to me such a short distance. I have developed a nerve condition from being in chronic stress and fear where my feet can suddenly go out from under me without warning. It suddenly started to rain hard and I knew I was even more likely to slip and fall on the wet sidewalk. I HAD to ask for help even though I have hated troubling anyone my whole life. I'm SOOO GRATEFUL TO THIS MAN.

Food was lovely and the service was excellent. We will be back really soon, thanks!

Great food fast delivery top marks!!

Food is always gorgeous. Ordered salted chilli chicken tonight and got some other kind of chicken instead by accident. It was delicious and I’m only sad that I don’t know the name of it to order it again!

Joy inn is the first place I went as soon as I landed in Belfast, I have to say the food is basic They have a wide range of options for every preference, duck, pork, beef, chicken, vegan, fish. They have nice warm dishes for a cold winter as well I asked for about 5 different dishes and 2 entrees and from a foodie opinion I’d give it a 6/10. It was decent. I've been to a bunch of Asian restaurants and I am quite aware as how some dishes should taste like and this one was just not hitting the spot as it should But cheers Joy inn was the first place I went as soon as I landed in Belfast, I have to say the food is basic They have a wide variety of options for all preferences, duck, pork, beef, chicken, vegan, fish. They also have hot dishes for a cold winter I ordered about 5 different dishes and 2 starters and, in a foodie opinion, I would give it a 6/10. It was decent. I've been to several Asian restaurants and I know how some dishes should taste and this one didn't hit the spot as it should. But health!!

First time ordering, Arrived on time still hot and delicious will definitely order again

Chips were clearly frozen and the Mongolian chicken was very watery. overpriced for bad quality food.

First salt and chilli chicken I have received from here and it was perfect unlike a lot of other places it seems. Not completely dry and generous with veg plus the accompaniments were spot on. 10/10

Beautiful as usual. Always tasty and never a let down.

Thanks again Benny and staff for a delicious meal.

Absolutely delicious little hidden gem , absolutely recommend you try this place , lovely vibe , very welcoming staff , food amazing.

I have tried so many Chinese restaurants all over locally and indeed a few in the world. Getting upstairs was a hard job with my arthritis. Now I was here before and decided to try again. Service was initially quick. I ordered a fried prawn and mango starter. Came quickly. About 6 medium prawns in a sickly sweet mango strum. Overall poor value and lacked class. For mains I ordered Mongolian beef sizzling and fried rice. The sauce was good with a wee kick. Beef though soft was chewy. Fried rice came instead of boiled rice I ordered. Pretty plain it was. Staff attentative. With a glass of white wine came to £38.00.Very expensive for quantity. Over rated place. Still think lemon grass Holywood is better. No rush back.

Beautiful, fresh food and fast delivery. The nicest sweet and sour I’ve had.

Always excellent food delivered in great time

Food was of great taste, and the service was very nice as well.

I really really enjoyed Joy inn but tonight I just couldn’t eat it. The amount of garlic in the honey chilli just completely overpowered the whole meal, it was all that I could taste. As I said, I really enjoy this Chinese usually but it’s put me off a bit :(

Food was incredible, mind blowing. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Delivery driver arrived on time but I noticed after I took the order that his zip on his trousers was down and he was completely exposed!!!!! I was that shocked that I ran inside again and locked the door! I have thought all night if I should report this and I am just letting you know incase it has happened before to someone.

Order didn’t come. Restaurant said it wasn’t their problem as was just eat driver. Awaiting over an hour and then told it’s not their problem. Avoid at all costs, clearly poor management of orders.

Great place and some different things on the menu too go with the usual favourites

Consistently just the nicest sweet and sour in Belfast. 10/10

just beautiful, all ingredients were tasty and could individually taste everything instead of just sugar and salt like alot of Chinese restaurants. beautiful! maybe just prawn crackers were overly greasy but otherwise 40 qui well spent!

V small portion, won’t be ordering here again

Spicer than expected but very nice. Hot and fresh

I am happy with the food, thank you!

Great food staff so lovely Do you9s do special lunch meals all week or sundays Thank you

the honey chilli chicken from here is always perfect great portion size enough to split between 2 should you need to

Great food fast delivery top tier takeout

noodle soup not as nice as usually is.

Just a winters Friday busy night, great Chinese meal for Belfast as all other Chinese takeaways are absolutely rubbish!

Were do I start was my favourite Chinese was disappointed this time will give this Chinese a miss for a while whoever delivered the food had it all tipped to one side were the gravy had went through the boxes in to the bag over everything ruined the other food plus I didn’t ask for gravy chips I asked for curry the rice was freezing but putting a cold tin of coke in top of it would explain that common sense like don’t put cold stuff in with warm food had to wash the tin as it was covered in grab

Excellent taste you can taste the cleaness in the food

I didn't receive my full order. My portion of chips was missing. Not impressed

A First Class Chinese Restaurant.. The Service Was Very Prompt, Very Little Waiting Time, Food Is Done To Perfection, Staff Are So Friendly And Attentive.. We've Been Quite A Few Times And Will Continue To.. I Would Highly Recommend This Place For Couples, Families Or Party's.... 😃👍

We love the Joy Inn, as always food was delicious. Thank you Benny and staff
