Foods are awesome!!! Especially the buns. They are so good we were so surprised! The service was perfect. Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and fast. The restaurant has a great vibe too. Clean, fun, and welcoming. The music was a little loud, so it was a bit hard to talk sometimes, but it was still totally fine and did not ruin the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed eating here and I will definitely come back. If you like fresh food and soft, tasty buns, I recommend trying this place.

Pretty cool place to go with friends or as a couple! Food was Asian Pacific Island Fusion style. I thought the food was really good but don't expect your normal Chinese American menu there. No this place is definitely a notch or two above average food. The decor is awesome, the service is great, the food is tasty and the atmosphere is fun! Try this place out on a night you want to enjoy every aspect of your evening! They do not have their own parking lot so be prepared to hunt for one out on the streets but other than that, Hot Joy is worth it!

We finally tried Hot Joy and had a great experience overall! Everything we ordered was delicious, and there are definitely a few standouts worth coming back for. The Hong Kong cornbread was amazing. Spam fried rice was good minus the pineapple. Both are easily must-try items here. We also tried the egg rolls, which were solid and tasty, with good seasoning and a nice crunch. The ginger noodles were another favorite with a great balance of ginger and savory sauce. Service was friendly and the vibe is relaxed, making it a fun place for a casual meal. If you’re in the mood for tasty, creative Asian-inspired dishes, Hot Joy is definitely worth a stop!

Everything here was sensational! From the environment established in the restaurant, The low lighting Ambience, And of course, the food!! Every dish that we tried was fantastic and had a unique spin as opposed to traditional. With gratuity the cost for all five entrées was $100. We had never been so we wanted to try everything, Everything is family style so you can easily have an appetizer and entrée for under $30. We will definitely come again!

Dinner was delicious and our server, entertaining. As soon as we told him we were from out of town he proceeded to tell us everything about the area and why dining with them was one of our best choices. They are located in one of the most entertaining areas in San Antonio, River Walk. The entrance to the restaurant is off of the main road, down the alley. It’s well lit and inviting. Feels like you’re entering through a speak-easy entrance. The food is great and so are the drinks. Great place to go with company or by yourself for lunch. You have to try their wings, so, so good and satisfying. We sat near the kitchen so seeing the chef in action was amusing in and of itself.
