Joy Restaurant has really delicious pan-Asian food. I got the Singapore Style Curry Rice Noodles which I really enjoyed. We also shared the congee and the cucumber salad. Everything tasted great and the service was excellent. My favorite Chinese food in the valley!
JOY is conveniently located at the entrance of Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, making it the perfect spot to refuel after hitting the slots. Recognized as the "Best Asian Restaurant in the Coachella Valley" by OpenTable, I couldn't resist stopping by to see what the hype was all about. The menu is huge, featuring a wide variety of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes. You absolutely have to try their Sichuan chicken wings—crispy, packed with flavor, and totally addictive. Another dish you won’t want to miss is the seabass with black bean sauce. Trust me, you’ll love it! But the true star of the meal was the Peking duck. Cooked to perfection, with crispy, golden skin on the outside and tender, juicy meat on the inside, it was everything you’d want in a classic Peking duck. It was served with all the traditional fixings—pancakes, hoisin sauce, and fresh scallions—which added layers of flavor and texture to each bite. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend making a reservation because this place fills up quickly!

We had such a great time last night at Joy. The food and service were incredible. We ordered so much food for four people, but I’m glad we did because we got to taste a little bit of everything. I recommend the chicken fried rice, pepper steak and kung pow chicken, the plus lettuce wraps, cucumber salad and green beans. The restaurant is cool, with small intimate rooms. One private room with a large round table that seats eight would be perfect for group dinner.
I can’t say enough about our experiences at Joy Cuisine, largely thanks to the exceptional management of Noel Maranan.

This is some really good food that doesn't shy away from authentic. Love the use of chili and flavor. The ambience is great. It takes you away from the casino so easily. The service was top notch. We even took some Singapore street noodles home with us.
The Spicy Hunan Style Beef was recommended to me by the Assistant Manager Christopher Jones and it was excellent, two ladies could easily share that dish and be super satisfied! And look at that custom margarita There was an hour and a half wait at 6pm with no reservation but they were willing to get me into bar seating within 20 minutes; which was great to still be able to watch the game but in a nicer restaurant setting than the casino floor. Food was fast and fresh ingredients, actual quality! Thank you so much!!
