China Restaurant Joy in München

Restaurant Joy is simply an awesome place for Chinese food. We can not only order famous Chinese dishes, but also a varied daily menu. I've been here several times now and each time I'm impressed with the quality of the food and the service. The service is always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the restaurant is impressive – both stylish and cozy. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. An absolute must for Chinese cuisine lovers!

Very nice place, delicious food

Very good food, excellent service and cozy place, totally recommended

Very tasty, authentic Chinese food

This place is always full because the food's amazing!

authentic, tasty, and spicy. Even though I don't like eating beef, I always have to order mapo tofu here. the portions are quite large, you can share plates to try more food ☺️

AFAIK the only restaurant in Munich that serves authentic Yunnan Cross Bridge Noodles! So good! 👍😊👍

Delicious and diverse menu… The dessert is really delicious

Had dinner there today with my girlfriend, around 7 p.m. We wanted Yunnan potato pancake as a starter and then pork with yancai and spareribs with mint as a main course. The store was full! After my girlfriend received the meal of pork with yancai and I waited for 10-15 minutes and only when I asked for my food came, spareribs with mint, the mood was already irritable. At the neighboring table, out of 3 people, only 2 were served with food. When we asked, we had food for the neighbor and the Yunnan potato pancake for us. I then returned these because they were supposed to serve as an appetizer. I was also angry because I expect that you should receive your food at relatively the same time so that you can eat together and stay in a good atmosphere. That's the point of an evening/dinner together. I can't fault the food! It was very good! The service and control were terrible.

Definitely don't come! ! 1. The food is half hot and half cold, so I ordered it. 2. The serving speed is very slow! After one plate is finished, another plate is served, and the appetizer is served last! 3. The attitude of the waiters is very bad. They don’t respond when I ask questions. They don’t say anything if there is a problem with the food. It’s really a hell.

You wait 20 minutes at a table only to be seated in the winter garden at 5 degrees despite a reservation.

The dishes are standard delicious, no big surprise. Portions are not big. The service is sometimes very slow. Our last dish came when we were almost full after we reminded them.

Authentic (as far as I can tell) cuisine.

Really very good Chinese cuisine. Been there several times, simply delicious.

After waiting for 50 minutes, no food was served. The waiter ignored me. The service attitude was extremely poor. I will never go there again.

Very delicious, Chinese food ceiling! The environment is also good, one of the most delicious restaurants in Europe

The best of Peking duck! Crispy delicious. And without pre-ordering. Different from the Unified China Local

Tucked away in an unassuming little building in the eastern residential district lies a hidden gem of culinary delight. In Munich, good Chinese food is hard to come by—but when I say good, I mean dishes that offer authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, creative variety, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a reasonable price. This place checks all the boxes. In fact, I was very impressed that I went twice in one week! Their “Crossing the Bridge Noodles” and lamb skewers are absolute must-tries, and we also love their Hong San Dou (Yunnan Style Red Three Chopped）. Go and try, you will not be disappointed!

The food itself is great, a rare Yunnan flavor in Munich. But I hope that those who come to eat later will not encounter a bunch of people who have reserved a table in advance for a party, otherwise they will skip your meal and make you wait for an hour without any notice.

Must-try Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles and Braised Rice Noodles

My favorite Chinese food in Munich! Since the introduction of Yunnan cuisine, I will go there 1-2 times a month. The proprietress is friendly and down-to-earth, and the food is delicious. It can be said to be a canteen for southwestern people. My favorite is red three-chop/fried pork with pickled vegetables/small pot rice noodles/cold rice noodles/minced meat wrapped in tofu. The limited time menu on the small blackboard appears from time to time. I’m also very surprised. Occasionally I can eat vegetables such as stir-fried lettuce and stir-fried winter melon.

It was good before, but it deteriorated significantly in a few months. The food was served very slowly, the food was too salty and sour, and the ingredients were not good!

Other than waiting time (for food to be served) is a bit too long, all is good

The price of brown sugar glutinous rice cake is as high as 8.9 euros, but there are only five pieces. Moreover, it tasted like a pre-cooked dish and was over-fried, resulting in an extremely hard texture that was almost impossible to eat. The price and quality are simply outrageous and totally not worth it. Highly not recommended! Der Preis für die Klebreisküchlein beträgt stolze 8,9 Euro, aber es gibt nur fünf Stück. und Absolut nicht gerechtfertigt. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen!

Relatively good food, the lamb kebabs were very good, but the soup was a little bland. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the outside area was very comfortable

Really great value for money! Large portions and the taste is convincing.

Location: it is a bit outside of the city but next to U-Bahn station. The restaurant offers private park places for guests, and you could find parking on the street too. (4.5) Environment: they have a smaller area at front of the bar and a big area inside. Both with windows, the color and decoration is bright and youth. (4.5) Food: everything is so delicious!! You can just order everything I ordered today, all recommend. 薄荷排骨、腌菜炒肉、过桥米线 are all recommended too. (5) Service: the owner lady is very nice and welcomed. She gives us good advices. (4.5) Price: I think it is fine for a decent Chinese restaurant. We only have two person but we ordered too many because everything we wanted to try. (4.5) Overall: 4.6 It was the second time and I will surely comeback.

The food was perfect. A truly enjoyable evening.

Best Chinese food I've eaten in Germany so far. We were a small group and ordered across the board for everyone. Everything was very tasty, fresh and tasted great. Especially the dishes from the Yunnan region ❤️. Special dish rice noodles over the bridge must be ordered in advance. Price/performance is also great. Large beer garden. Interior modernly furnished...not with any of the other bells and whistles. Service (boss) was top. Lots of Chinese guests, that speaks for itself. You only have to have time if you come at peak times or if it is full. It worked very well for us (early evening). Immediately again!

Overall it's delicious and the service is very good. I will go there again.

very authentic Yunnan cuisine Only recommended

Absolutely authentic Chinese restaurant, when we visited almost all the guests were Chinese, that speaks for itself.

The first time I ate it was delicious, the second time I was confused, and the third time I was blocked. All this happened within two months when the menu dropped severely and the ingredients were gone. Later, I used other methods to fool the customers into thinking they were fools. The mutton pot you have eaten is made of mutton slices. Of? Is Kung Pao Chicken fried with pork?

Very good Chinese dishes. Friendly service. As a result of the "bare" interior design, the acoustics are poor. The babble of voices from the guests is quite disturbing. It's much quieter on the terrace.

Very slow service, we waited about 15 minutes for the menu, no one came to us for our order for 10 minutes, we waited for food for 30 minutes. We ordered 2 soups - Wan-Tan and Tom Yam Gai. Both are average, no surprises. Tom Yam did not contain coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and galangal, chilli pepper, cherry tomatoes. The soup is not spicy at all and not particularly rich. Wan-Tan is also bland. Other diners' hot dishes looked and smelled delicious and would be worth returning to in the future, but I don't recommend the soups here.

Best Chinese restaurant in Munich. I'll be back.

After we decided to open the outdoor area when the weather was good, the order was placed. With the wine there was water from a strange Volvic bottle (I had them show me later because I didn't get a bottle of water but a glass). €4.50!! The food was okay, brought by an overwhelmed waiter. The kicker: One of our guests from Florida asked at the counter to order a taxi. He has to do it himself!! He said he didn't know the street name. The phone and a business card were then handed to him!!! Once there and never again!!!!!!

The Yunnan dishes were super delicious and tasted very good! -Rice noodles over the bridge: A dish more for 2 people. The hot broth was served in a kind of large stone bowl. The waitress then gradually added the ingredients into the soup. The aroma of the broth was mild, yet rich in flavor, fresh and delicious. It tasted like the meat bone had been cooked for a very long time (broth containing collagen), hence the slightly creamy, clear broth. The bowl/portion was very large. Absolutely recommended! -Spicy rice noodle soup with minced meat: The soup was slightly spicy, nicely spicy and rich. The Sichuan vegetables in the soup went so well! So delicious! -Spare ribs with mint: The spare ribs were finely chopped, nicely spicy, dry-fried and slightly spicy. Also very tasty! I thought all three dishes we tried were very good! The soup dishes in particular tasted outstanding. The spare ribs were also really tasty. The service was very friendly and attentive. The prices are in the medium, high range, but the portions are huge and taste very good. I highly recommend that you order/try the dishes from the “Yunnan Province Specialties” menu. If you want to try very good, authentic Chinese dishes, you should come here! I would describe the dishes as comfort food.

The food is far from real Chinese food! No talk of authentic!! And the fried duck is not fried but made in the fryer! Everything adapted to German taste - a shame!! The service - when 2 tables are occupied, it becomes hectic and goes wrong!!!

Not particularly attractive from the outside, but the inside looks good and the food is very good and authentic. I felt like I was in China. We'd love to come back.

They have the specialty: rice noodles over the bridge. It is a regional dish from Yunnan Province

My feeling after eating: I am pleased with the restaurant, which is full of employees, but I am disappointed by the diners who come from far away. Such a remote location, such a low rent, selling such expensive dishes in such a small quantity, it’s really a pleasure to make money👍 7.9 Five golden steamed buns, my eyes were really opened. Are they really made of gold? The food was served very slowly. A large table of people finished each dish, and there was no dining experience at all. The taste is not good, the beef meat is not raked, and the soup is a thick white soup blended with technology. The mint pork ribs were small and crumbly, not falling off the bone.

A rating of four point two is too high. I have been visiting this store in Xiaohongshu for a long time, and I finally had the opportunity to check in. However, hmmm: The ingredients are very average and the taste is not as good as domestic university cafeterias. If you want to improve your food, go to other restaurants. It took a long time to wait. The waiter was like an NPC throughout the process. He was much nicer to the Germans than the Chinese. The environment was greasy and shabby. I won’t go there again anyway.

Food tasted very good, but we had to wait about an hour for the food + an extremely long wait before we could pay

It is difficult to eat such unique Chinese food in Germany. The portions are generous and the service is very friendly. It would be even better if I could make black three chops in the future!

It’s not a trap, but the price/performance ratio is slightly lower. The signature Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, priced at 26€, is a bit expensive. The 16 grids are full of ceremony, but the portions are all one-size-fits-all, with vegetables accounting for most of the portion. The lotus leaf pork ribs were crispy and not bad, but the cut was too small. It's quite comfortable to eat in the restaurant garden in summer.

The smell inside is very sour, the attitude of the waiter is 👎👎👎, he seems very impatient, the taste of the food is okay, quite satisfactory

Whether a store is good or bad, service attitude and whether the food is delicious should be as important. Even if the food in this restaurant is slow, they serve food first to people coming from behind, pretending they can’t see us and don’t know why.

Hello If possible, write down your chef's number. 👍

Good Chinese food. Enjoyed our dinner

Small back garden to the tennis court

Very good food, clean restaurant. However, from the outside the building doesn't look very inviting.

Food is very good and authentic, but unfortunately if you go at a peak hour, you usually have to wait for around 45 mins to 1 hr to get your dish served. Kinda feel the service staffs are not trained very well and the service is not very organized in the restaurant

Last month I explored new Chinese restaurant for my Asian’s tongue or taste. China Restaurant Joy’s chef quite good. Order fried beef and dumplings soup. Drink was special looks weird but refreshing delicious. However the fried ice cream just so so.

The food comes very slowly! Shrimp tastes too sour! We don't like it at all!

The food was very good, I think it was the best I have ever had in Chinese food. The staff only speaks Chinese and very basic German. Difficult to speak with them in English. Careful with that. Fortunately, a citizen who spoke Spanish helped us with the waitress. The abundant dishes to share, there were 4 of us and we were very full. The only detail is the language.

An absolutely authentic Chinese restaurant with many Chinese guests. The duck is a dream, the meat juicy and the skin crispy.

Delicious noodles (xiao guo mi xian) and interesting drink (pao lu da), we even went there twice. Their signature Guo Qiao Mi Xian looks fancy and can easily feed 2 person, though I personally prefer the more spicy and savoury Xiao Guo Mi Xian. While the mint spare ribs are quite dry, not really our taste. Overall, food looks authentic. Service is quite slow, we waited for 1.5hours to order + receive our food the first time we went. It was quieter the second time and we received our food much faster. The staff is quite friendly though.

Yunnan cuisine is very authentic, and every dish I ordered was perfect.

Good Chinese food 🍜 in a cozy atmosphere 😊 would be happy again

The Yunnan food there is good. Take away is convenient

This is my first time coming here. The food here is really delicious, and the presentation is beautiful and well-designed~ The atmosphere in the store is also great😍 Overall, it’s a very good and great experience~ Highly recommend a visit! ! ! The only drawback is that it takes a long time to wait for the rice to be served (because many people are busy, and the main reason is probably because it is fried and cooked~) 🥺, but because the rice is delicious and the drinks are delicious, It’s worth the wait~ (Seven people ate for about 100 yuan, and one person can eat very full for about 20 yuan~)

Nice restaurant with friendly staff. Very good authentic Chinese food. Would love to come back. The pork belly with mustard leaves was particularly good :)

It takes 2 hours! We arrived at 6:00 p.m. Ordered in less than 30 minutes. After that, a different dish comes every 20 minutes on average. After an hour and a half, the noodles are still falling!

I can only recommend it. Super tasty and great service! It takes a while, but it's worth the freshness and enjoyment! Good food just takes time! Keep it up :)

Very tasty, huge portions and a loud happy atmosphere. Ideal for food-heavy groups/families :) Attention spicy means spicy ⚠️

The cocktails (Mai Thai / Piña Colada), the starters (shrimp, Peking soup) and the main courses were super tasty and filling. The service was quick and friendly. We'd love to come back!

Great cuisine, also with real Chinese dishes. Fair prices though.

We went here for dinner. The food was very salty. My husband got upset belly after eating here. Also a bit pricey. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

The drink “Pao Lu Da” is my favorite! The other dishes are also super authentic Yunnan style. The potatoes is good to combine with rice. I like rice noodles in winter, warm for stomach.

I ventured into the restaurant despite some very bad reviews and I'm glad I did. We found the food and iced tea very tasty. We didn't have to wait particularly long for the food, although the restaurant was only half full. I can't say what it's like at peak times. I also noticed the many Chinese guests as positive. We chatted quite a bit, were the last guests and the staff had already eaten themselves. Nevertheless, everyone was very friendly when we wanted to pay 😊

Mega awesome restaurant. Today we had dinner at JOY with the whole family. We came from Bern and made a stopover in Munich. I was looking for a resto that was close to the highway with parking and seemed relatively ok. The recessions have put me off a lot. But we thought to ourselves, we're hungry, we need a break and Bern really doesn't have good restos. We came unannounced at 2:15 p.m. and got a spot, even though it was extremely busy. It took about 40 minutes from the order to the delivery of the food. “That’s very fine, thumbs up #HeultLess #ItIsFrisch”. When the food came I couldn't believe my taste buds. SUUUUUPER delicious “What a great soup with mint and beef was that?” My absolute favorite restaurant in Munich… The 1 star comments are absolute rubbish, plus most of them are bad comments from Asians, I smell something there and it stinks a bit of ENVY! Please go there yourself and try your luck. Yes, you have to wait, that's how it is when the food is fresh. But the wait is worth it. #I love it

Essen in Ordnung. Fast so gut wie der Wettbewerb in der Nähe. Mittagsmenu aber zu Empfehlen.

the food is too hard, and a little bit expensive, the food doesn't deserve this price. I can't believe one bowl of normal rice noodle with few meat with normal home taste cost 16 euro.

Kann das Restaurant sehr empfehlen. Sehr leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung. Sehr viele chinesische Gäste.

慕尼黑最好吃，最正宗的云南菜！ 装修环境很温馨，老板娘长相甜美、很热情礼貌，一直在耐心给我们介绍。 厨师就是云南本地人，所以菜品口味都很正宗，我们盲点的每一道菜都好吃，没有踩雷的风险。 薄荷排骨锅气很足，香香脆脆的搭配清爽的薄荷叶和炸蒜末，构成视觉和味蕾上的双重满足。泡鲁达椰香味很浓郁，用料很足的同时又一点都不甜腻。强推过桥米线，比国内用料更足更新鲜且分量很大，如果是两个女生来的话只点一份就足足够吃啦！汤底十分浓郁，米线筋道，配菜多达18种，一张桌子根本放不下哈哈。总而言之是非常美味的菜肴和良好的就餐体验，下次一定会再带着朋友们来光顾！

Ganz nett, Essen war lecker, Preis Leistung ist gut, nur der Service war nicht so gut, man musste schon auf sich aufmerksam machen, ein Gericht wurde aber leider vergessen...

上菜超慢，等了将近一个小时才端上来一碗米线。上后面几道菜时，几乎是甩在桌子上的，服务员很不注意卫生，吐沫星子都喷到菜里了。室内空气不流通。三个人付了130多。还得祈祷不要得什么传染病。下次不会再去了。

Erstaunlicher Geschmack, tolles authentisches Essen. Einfach die beste in München!

菜品挺多的，价格有点小贵。服务有点慢，不太积极。店挺大的，有洗手间。可以刷卡。店面有点偏远。

Sowohl das Essen als auch die Atmosphäre unterscheidet sich hier wohltuend vom sogenannten "Chinesen". Das Essen ist hervorragend, hier scheint man kein Glutamat zu brauchen. Das Ambiente kommt hier aus ohne Rote-Laternen-Dicke-Buddha-Kitsch. Wunderbar. Hier scheinen auch Chinesen gerne zu kommen.

Delicious and very original Chinese food! I could only recommend

Die Chefin ist super nett und das Essen schmeckt hervorragend, nur zu empfehlen! Seit Neuestem gibt es sogar Spezialitäten aus Yunnan. Die Nudeln aus der Gegend sind sehr gut, jedoch muss man beachten, dass eine Vorbestellung notwendig ist, weil der Koch viel für dieses Gericht vorbereiten muss. Komme jederzeit gerne wieder!

speisekarte reichliches angebot, authentisch chinesisch, ente sehr lecker aussen knackig u innen saftig sehr gut im geschmack. service freundlich und flott, ambiente ansprechend. wo viele "einheimische landsleute" hingehen zum essen war es auf der welt immer richtig.

Selbst 6 sterne sind zu weng immer wieder

China Restaurant Joy has a rather unassuming menu, but the real treat is the special dishes on the blackboard at the entrance: here you find some very authentic Yunnan dishes that are quite rare in Germany, such as Yunnan Bridge Rice Noodles 過橋米線, Spareribs with Mint 薄荷排骨, or Chill Tomatoes with Minced Meat 紅三剁. They have a true Yunnan chef, which is quite refreshing given that most Chinese restaurants in Germany are of a similar style. We came with very high expectations. Overall, the style of Rice Noodles is correct, you do get the same sensation as in Yunnan. The pricing seems fair. However, although nothing is wrong with the dishes, they are also not particularly amazing. From zero to one, this is definitely one of the good Chinese rice noodles available. The thing is, there are also a lot of good Vietnamese rice noodles nowadays, and among the bigger competition, it needs more to persuade people to drive here regularly.

Essen normalerweise sehr gut. Wenn man nach 120min Wartezeit allerdings mitgeteilt bekommt, dass die Bestellung verschlampt wurde, dann ist das zu viel :(

Love this restaurant! Super delicious and perfect service ❤️ here is my favorite order! 52 and a beer 🍺

Das Essen ist gut und authentisch. Der Service ist bei gut besuchtem Lokal unaufmerksam, Hauptgerichte werden vor der Vorspeise serviert und man muss sich mehrmals beim Kellner bemerkbar machen, wenn man etwas benötigt. Bei Nichtstoßzeiten ist der Service besser. Müssen wir nochmal ausprobieren.

Ich war heute mit einer Freundin essen. Zu meinem Bedauern muss ich leider mitteilen, dass sowohl der Service als auch das Essen zu wünschen übrig lassen. Das essen war viel zu ölig und wurde erst nach eine sehr langen gebracht. Als wir nachfragten wieso es denn so lange dauert wurde uns mit einem spöttischen Ton mitgeteilt dass heute viel los sei. Auf keinen Fall weiterzuempfehlen. Der Preis ist auch recht hoch.

时代转变，中歺本應各顯神通，不應什么都抬上桌面，十年前的大雜会式自助餐该退場了，可喜可贺！

Das neue Gericht, Reisnudelsuppe in Yunnan Stil (过桥米线) ist eine Seltenheit, wenn nicht einzigartig, in München, gar im ganzen Lande. Serviert wird ein heißer Fond in einer heißen Schale mit 18 feinen Zutaten auf 18 schönen Tellerchen, sowie eingeweichte Reisnudel. Die Nudel und Zutaten werden nacheinander in den heißen Fond eingegeben. Nach kurzem Warten und visuellem Genießen, der Geschmack der vielfältigen Zutaten im Fond entfaltet, ist die Nudel auch schon für den weiteren Genuss bereit. Jede Nudelsuppe wird von ihrem Fond getragen. Hier wird der Fond selbst hergestellt, ohne Zusatzstoffe, wohl tagesfrisch aus Suppenhuhn, Knochen etc. aufbereitet. Das schmeckt feine Gaumen sofort heraus. Eine Authentizität, die auch in China sehr rar geworden ist. Aus diesem Grund sollte man das Gericht vorbestellen. Es kann leicht passieren, dass der Fond ausgeht. Aber die anderen Speisen sind auch sehr authentisch und geschmackvoll aufbereitet.

Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service! Essen war sehr lecker und reichlich!

Sehr freudliches Personal und klasse Preis/Leistung!

Sehr lecker sehr netter Service!:)

Ein etwas anderer Chinese der in allen Bereichen deutlich von der "Norm" abweicht. Modernes, nicht das übliche China Ambiente, moderne, authentische, hochklassige und absolut frische Küche mit wenig "Fertigware". Mit dem Service selbst muss man manchmal - wenn Andrang- ein wenig Geduld haben, aber das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich.Wir kommen gerne her.

Das essen dort hat dort sehr lecker geschmeckt und service zar auch sehr gut. würde wiederkommen

Sehr authentisches und leckeres Essen, freundlicher Service, schöne Ambiente. Auch für einen Treffen vieler Leute, wie heute bei uns ist es gut geeignet

Das Ambiente und der Service sind sicherlich noch Verbesserungswürdig, aber das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker , ausreichend und authentisch. Unbedingt nach der chinesischen Karte fragen, die Gerichte sind wirklich Klasse. Kommen gerne wieder
