The Joy Luck: Reviews & Ratings
Pork soup dumplings and spicy crispy chicken review...amazing. All four soup dumplings had the perfect amount of soup and flavor! And none were broken. Chicken was out of this world. ...
We came in on a Sunday at noon. We were quickly greeted and seated. The host was very friendly and helped us understand the menu. We ordered two entrees and an appetizer and it all came out fast and fresh. I had the beef pho and would order it again. I look forward to going back. It was a really nice lunch date.
We came here for roasted duckwhich was the best decision ever, and ended up order a lot more. All dishes were well presented, great flavors and well balanced. Pork buns, fried pork dumpling, spicy dumpling were authentically delicious. ...
As someone who hadnt been here in 20 years, this place was a complete breath of fresh air. Delicious! Every single dish was divine. Every appetizer was awesome. And the atmosphere is certainly cool as can be, inside and out! Thanks for a great meal!
The duck is absolutely delicious! A large portion and cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly and the liquor license is coming soon!
Love, love, love this place! Came to Louisville to eat at another place that was closed and decided to come here instead. Im so glad I did! This place was great! Quaint, clean and quiet. The staff was magnificent and very personable. ...
Cozy spot tucked in on Bardstown Rd, excellent lunchdinner option. First off, yes, the Pork Soup Buns were amazing. ...
The sweet and spicy fish is just delicious. Also had an oriental old fashioned that was well made but the highlight of the night was the duck wings!
