Late night munchies. Definitely get the wings, they’re delicious. I also got chow fun and it was kinda bland and I wish it was more saucy. Luckily, just plop a soy sauce packet in and it should help. 25 dollars for these two things tho? It’s alright but at 12am it’s great

The flavor of your food isn’t bad at all but CLEAN YOUR CHICKEN WINGS!!! Just because they are fried doesn’t mean the hair can’t be seen that is so nasty I ordered chicken and got fried feathers !! Nasty!!! Like I’m so mad.

The Szechuan Chicken should be called Szechuan and Celery instead.. the dish was 90% celery and carrots with chicken basically used as a garnish!! It also lacked flavor and the little chicken that was even in the dish was dry. Definitely never ordering from this place again..wasted my money and absolutely disappointed

I ordered pork fry rice and pork with string beans for take out when I got home . Only few pork and majority of rice and beans can be seen. SO, I called the restaurant to confront the issue, instead of saying sorry that’s our mistake he was like this how WE SERVE. Dude there’s barely any pork at all. I paid $50 not for just rice and beans but the pork that comes in the order .I am very disappointed with take out order unexpected scam for dish for late night ordered. I don’t think I will be going back. Everybody make sure you get your order with proper amount of meat or any order dish with the item with the right amount of meat if it has combinations of veggies as well, IF NOT THEY SCAM YOU FOR MORE VEGGIES AND VERY LESS MEAT OR NO MEAT AT ALL. FIRST RESTURANT THAT SCAMMED ME TO PAY THE PORK DISH WITH NO PORK FOR THE AMOUNT I HAD TO PAY. Make sure you get what you paid FOR SO THAT YOU DONT BE scammed. just a heads up.

If you want a quick bite then its a good restuarant to order from. I give the quality of food and presentation an average score. They make the food pretty quick and have a good and attentive staff. There is good parking space near the restaurant . Chow and joy is located along somerville Avenue and its in same lot as

This is my go-to place for Moo Shiu and other Chinese staples. Absolutely delicious food, best in the area! More of a takeout than a sit down place.

How terribly disappointing the food was. Not asking for Da Dong 大董 level quality, but honestly this was quite literally the most disappointing “Chinese” food I’ve ever had. 宫保鸡丁 Kung Pao Chicken, maybe 4 pieces of chicken. Enough celery to feed a rabbit farm, but barely any meat. Sweet and sour chicken? It was over-breaded chicken tenders. The only thing I can say that tasted ok was the vinegar they gave for the dumplings. Come on, do better than this. $45 bucks for this, what an epic waste of money.

This is the second time I ordered Kung Pao chicken from them. Both times there are enormous amount of celery in the dish than chicken. I have to find pieces of chicken. Sometimes I wonder they should name this dish Kung Pao celery. Paid ~$10 of celery and sauce.
