What Rae Padd likes about Joyful:
Their food is so good, no wonder the high rating. We usually have dinner early, so were lucky enough to get a table without booking. I wasn't that hungry, probably due to long distance driving and a decent pie for lunch. They use fresh ingredients and the appropriate cut of meat for different dishes. The portions are generous. The dishes are very flavourful, with some a bit too salty to my liking. Overall it's awesom... View all feedback.

Delicious flavours and great service. Definitely need to book as a very busy restaurant. Dumplings and wontons are a must for the starters.
