When it's 11:43pm and a pad thai craving strikes, your options are limited. But the Vegetable Pad Thai 瓜菜泰面 from Chow n Joy is really pretty good. Not superb, but much more flavorful than the other late-night Chinese joints. And my husband enjoyed the taro Bubble Tea (22 Oz). Recommended for night owls.

Chow n Joy used to be my go to for cheap fast Chinese food, but the quality for price has fallen off a cliff over the last couple years. Greasy noodles, fatty boneless spareribs, and battered chicken that is 90% batter. It's sad but I only order it now when it's super late and there is nothing else.

the Peking raviolis were ok, but only getting 6 in a large order was disappointing, especially at that price.
The biggest issue was the ginger sauce. It came in packets. The same kind of packets you get with cheap frozen dumplings. Makes me wonder how good their other dumplings could be...

It existed, they were open late and that was positive. Everything was drowned in sweet sauce, basically all dishes tasted basically the same, and the meat quality and quantity on the Mongolian Beef 蒙古牛 and Roast Pork With Mixed Vegetables 什菜叉烧 was so poor I wouldn't order beef or pork from them again. The Chicken With Ginger & Scallion 葱姜鸡 wasn't very good either, but at least the meat was more plentiful and better quality than the other two. The Roast Pork With Mixed Vegetables 什菜叉烧 in particular seemed like it was veg with some of that red pork spare rib appetizer stuff thrown into it. There wasn't much meat and it was almost all fat. I used to like this place but now reconsidering.

The number 10 is a nice combo if quality was a goal. The chicken is hard to chew, seemingly from being fried too long. I got the roll and jumbo shrimp as an app. The shrimp came as a giant donut ring of of dough mostly, disappointing. Will not order again. As for the spring roll...it was flat upon arrival.
