N Joy II

Found them on accident but happy I did! The smoothies are probably the best I’ve tried in the area and the food is also definitely up there. Everything tastes much fresher than other takeout Chinese places. The woman who owns/​runs the place is super friendly too.

Since my Mom (85 yrs old) had surgery the 23^th we decided for Christmas we would have her favorite Chinese but every place was closed except N-​JOY II (We usually go to the Original NJOY on 35^th in Cicero but they were closed) We viewed the menu online and I called it in– when I picked it up it was $ 10 more than expected. I was told that’s because the online menu is 16 yrs old and never been updated — as for the food — You decide for yourself —
First is the American BEEF chop suey (as they say, where’s the beef?) Plus the little few little white strips of meat we did find tasted like chewing gum! Then I got the large shrimp appetizer– as you see the «LARGE» shrimp inside ALL the breading — lastly, I got the JUMBO Shrimp fried rice– as you see the JUMBO shrimp in the picture is the 3^rd shrimp I found in the whole container !

Great customer service, but food was just okay. Vegetable egg rolls were very generous in size, but had a fishy taste to them. Crab rangoons were also large and good. The Kung pao chicken was tasty.

I just moved into the neighborhood & was not sure what this small little place would deliver to my door. We ordered sesame beef, jumbo shrimp fried rice, egg rolls & they gave us complimentary crab ragoon. Everything was fantastic! The jumbo shrimp fried rice was above & beyond any shrimp fried rice that I have had.
Very fair prices. Delivery within 30 minutes of order. I am very satisfied!!!

Place is great I order from there at least once a week. Prices are very reasonable if you can catch them during their lunch special times. Great egg Rolls and fried rice!

I have tried every chinese place around town and this place has the best fried rice, eggrolls, pot stickers and orange chicken. Although the place can use an update, the food is really good and fast service.

Pot stickers, hmmmmmmm!!! The rice is above average, and egg rolls are above average, but for the price, and the super quick delivery service, high marks baby!

Amazing chinese food! My family and I only order from here, and will continue until they either close down, or we moved. Their food is awesome. Best deal is their lunch menu! All the food I have tried there is great, and im a pretty picky eater. If you have any doubts, dont! People who work there are nice, and friendly, and any mix ups (such as comment made previously) its an honest mistake. Very polite people. Pleasure to always do business with them.

Ordered delivery. We were given the wrong food and couldn’t catch the delivery man. When we called, they didn’t believe us– said that we ordered wrong– and that it would be two hours before they could redeliver. First impression and last impression– no.

Wolf: Little pig, little pig, let me in.
Piggy: Not by the hair in my Cashew Chicken!
I can be a little piggy sometimes, especially when I’m about to pass out from hunger. I don’t care where the crumbs fall or what grease ends up on my face, but as if the realization of my pigginess isn’t disturbing enough, the pigginess paired with not-​so-​good food makes me feel even worse.
I’m not a huge fan of Chinese food to begin with, but I had a hankering for egg rolls, so I decided to try N-​Joy (II) as it’s right off of my train stop. Holy salty, Batman!!! Wow! Adding sweet sauce does not help (in fact, probably added more salt). But seeing that I couldn’t stop shaking from hunger, I ate them like the good little piggy-​girl I can be.
I also ordered beef fried rice because, thanks to Neil (may God soothe his troubled soul), Chinese food is never complete without the «good-​bad» fried rice. This wasn’t too bad; it actually had a good texture and wasn’t dry, but again… salty. I know I should expect salt from soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce or whatever sauce is used in the cooking, but either I’m extra dehydrated today or the cook’s taste buds are shot. The meat WAS very tender, but was it beef? It looked light in color, like pork. Of course, I couldn’t quite tell you what it was by flavor because all I could taste was sodium joy. Needless to say, most of the dish remains almost pristine in its traditional folded-​up box.
That said, the people that work there were SUPER nice — great sweetness to balance out the salt. If I ever crave Chinese food in the neighborhood in the future, I would try them again just because of their friendly (and fast!) service, and because the Unilocalers before me seem to really like this place.
But for now… I’ll *huff* and *puff*…and wash this salt down! Excuse me while I down a bucket of water.

This is the only place to order Chinese from in the area. My family and I have been ordering carry out from here for years. Good food and it is ready fast! Plus, the prices are so cheap that we normally order two dishes for everyone so that we have lots of leftovers!

Great Place for Chinese Food that you want in a hurry. Whenever my brother and I get a taste for Cheap Chinese, we head here. :)
