    First time here, server was good. She suggested a lot of delicious dishes. My favorite was the steak and Chinese broccoli. The lobster was amazing. Calamari was so flavorful. It was reasonable for the quality

    Really enjoy this dim sum as an option outside of Boston. Plenty of parking , and if you come at opening pretty much guarantee a table. Service is typical cold efficient East Asian vibes - if you speak Cantonese it's a lot easier to navigate ordering. Would recommend.

    Recently returned for a weekend dim sum experience, and I'm reminded that why I'm not a huge fan of weekend dim sum here (or anywhere really). 1. It's very crowded. We were in a group of 10, so we didn't have to share tables with others. But we did have to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated when we arrived at 10:30 AM. 2. The roller carts staff mostly speak Cantonese, with very limited English. There was one or two "head" servers who speak good English. There is no picture menu, so your guess is as good as mine when the staff bring over dishes that I don't normally order and ask if you want them. 3. Some servers are rude, but that's just the way it is. Each time I'm here, I'm reminded how chaotic this place can be (though not unique to Joyful Garden), and everyone runs around doing everything. They get so busy. I remember coming here before, and had to be seated with others in a shared table. If you speak Cantonese or are very familiar with dim sum in general, then you will be fine here. I don't recommend this place if you have never had dim sum before, since it can be so overwhelming. The indoor air quality during crowded lunch was okay, around 1100 ppm. It's surprisingly "acceptable" given how crowded it gets. 4 stars for the weekend dim sum lunch. 5 stars (previous review) stays for weekday dinner experience.

    I absolutely love this place. They get incredibly crowded, but seat smaller parties very quickly. My husband and I have never waited more than 15 minutes. Excellent selection of seafood dim sum. We try to go as often as our pant sizes allow. The ambiance is dim sum palace, which I love. Lots of carts and attentive if you want hot sauce or other condiments. A waiter will bring it to you quickly. Good women's bathroom.
