Joyful House is a MUST try! Have you heard that restaurants attached to grocery stores are the best hidden gems?! Joyful House definitely lives up to this expectation! My Favs: #4 Goi Cuon: Fresh Spring Rolls (PRO-TIP: these are made to order, so you can request just shrimp or just pork) #42 Lau Canh Chua: Sweet & Sour Soup Hot Pot #39 Stir Fried Chili Tofu && they have Boba Tea!!
Great service attentive and quick. The family meal is wonderful for 2+ people at a great price. You can really tell they pride themselves in the cooking because it is so delicious and fresh. The sugar cane drink is the best tasting and very authentic. Great portions, clean and welcoming atmosphere. This will be my go to for Vietnamese cuisine from now on and I will be sure to let my friends and family know.
I recently discovered this place while I was door-dashing, so it was a very happy accident. It looked so good that I came back after I was finished and got myself and my kids some bubble tea and some other stuff for my husband. Everything was delicious! The counter to order if you're not dining in is in the back of the grocery store. They have some premade, and wrapped plates that you can buy as well. Service was very friendly, and the drinks I asked for were made in a very timely manner. All in all - highly recommended. Be aware that they are not open all week round. I believe they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 11am to 8pm or something like that. Parking: So the parking lot was actually a little difficult to find because the building is set back further on the lot and the building next to it is closer to the street, so you may miss your turn. However, you can also access their parking lot even if you accidentally turn into the the other lot.
Best combination of food. It’s hard to find a place with all of your favorite things Seafood, Boba & Pho and from my experience everything was good a lot of flavor, good portions. Clean & friendly place! I highly recommend.
Located in the heart of Dutchtown South City St. Louis, Joyful House Restaurant is an excellent Vietnamese spot. Recently renovated, the restaurant boasts a clean and unassuming atmosphere, perfect for casual dining. The layout is simple yet functional, with tables spread throughout an open area, creating a communal vibe. The menu offers an expansive array of Vietnamese dishes, ensuring something for everyone. We had… 1. Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp 2. Black Peppered Shrimp & Rice 3. Seafood Hot Pot 4. Catfish Hot Pot and much more… Each dish is highlighted the vibrant flavors and fragrant herbs that define Vietnamese cuisine. In addition to the delicious food, the service at Joyful House Restaurant was attentive and friendly. There were 5 of us so Ky had his hands full! He took excellent care of us.
We got a taro slush and durian smoothie. The durian smoothie is not made with durian but a flavored powder. A huge disappointment. The taro slush was icy instead of smooth. It took a while to get our drinks.
