Joyful Tasty Palace - Marelly's

Friendly service and very good authentic Chinese food. Their freshly made pork bun is a must try. ?

My husband and I came to the area for Chinese grocery shopping and we stepped into Joyful Tasty Palace to give it a try. After some chatting with the service lady, I asked for her recommendation on the best Fujian dishes. So here we go a wonderful Sweet Sour Whole Sea Bass covered with a melody of veggies not too sweet and not too much vinegar either. The fish skin is crispy and the mean tender and juicy. A plate of rice cakes stir fried with crab and mixed vegetables, soft and flavorful, quite different from the Shanghainese style I am more familiar with. And a big serving of Morning Glory, a green, leafy vegetable dish. Overall, a very authentic Chinese meal, so much better than the some of the others.

Average Chinese restaurant setting, great food though, and very fair price, better than going to the chinese buffet. Waitress is very young, but very sincere and respectful. She responded to our table very attentively.Bathroom is clean. They also have private room for a small family dinner. Parking: Well lit parking lot

Food is authentic and not fusion. A small options on dim sum dishes but very well done. Service is good but patience required, they are understaffed. Family atmosphere a bit loud for a business meeting. I would recommend and revisit. Parking: It’s in Chinatown plaza with ample outdoor parking.

Walked in and it smelled of cigarettes. The place had clouds of smoke. The waitress or receptionist was rude. We left immediately.
