Eat Joy Food

The 20 Best Chinese Restaurants In Los Angeles

"Eat Joy Food’s menu is longer than some instruction manuals, so we often rely on pictures and a “yeah, that looks great” approach. Thankfully, that strategy has never failed us at this Rowland Heights Taiwanese spot. Dishes span from light and fresh to pungent and saucy, so packing one of the round tables with friends to sample as much as possible is the move. The signature dragon whisker salad (a much cooler name for chayote shoots) is refreshing and loaded with enough garlic to give you real dragon breath afterward. The juicy, cartlidge-y three-cup chicken is fragrant with ginger and blistered basil, and the steamed black cod covered in scallions and raw jalapeños is so tender it slips off the bones.
