Their food is so good, no wonder the high rating. We usually have dinner early, so were lucky enough to get a table without booking. I wasn't that hungry, probably due to long distance driving and a decent pie for lunch. They use fresh ingredients and the appropriate cut of meat for different dishes. The portions are generous. The dishes are very flavourful, with some a bit too salty to my liking. Overall it's awesome!!

When I visit Christchurch I make sure to make the most of my visit and come to this place multiple times. Having grown up with Cantonese food I can hands down say they do some of the best I’ve had.

Not asked for a drink or desert. And big loud tables yelling and talking over one another. Could not think. Maybe a separate room for large groups. Food always 5 stars

Ate here for our parents' anniversary! Make sure you book as they get very busy specially during weekends. They serve a little late but that is totally understood because there were really so many people dining. Their cake section was amazing and commendable as well. I have previously had a bad experience with Chinese food before so I'm quite careful but Joyful Restaurant really delivered here. Awesome experience and will definitely be back in the future :)

Food is nice here 👍 highly recommend their peking duck👍 however their staff is a bit rude, saying something in mandarin to ask us go faster because they are closing soon.
