Joybowl Takeaway

Truly terrible food — concentraiting almost entirely on quantity over quality — the mixed starer we had tonight was a bizzare mix of overcooked nonsense (ie fried to within an inch of its life, left to sit for a good while then refried again… and maybe again?).
The mains were gloopy and strangely tasteless — the veg chow mein was just noodles quickly sloshed around the wok with a pile of soy sauce to give it colour We ate around half of it and then both stopped and said «this is RUBBSIH»
We’ve actually had food from here before, forgot how bad it was and ordered again — menu is going in the bin so we dont repeat the mistake!

If the bowl in question is the toilet bowl, and your idea of joy is a squeaking, parping sphincter popping the brown champagne in the loudest, most agonising way possible, then perhaps this is the takeaway venue of your dreams.
If on the other hand you’re looking to spend the majority of the next day somewhere other than the lavatory, then there are better quality Chinese restaurants and takeaways round here.
It’s not that Joybowl is all that bad. The grub tastes alright and a day of duck bum is to be expected from a visit to most restaurants on the lower end of the Oriental cuisine scale. However, with the outstanding «The Fifteen» at the other end of Clarkston Road, and the one across the street from the Derby whose name I forget, there’s better local options.

Jowbowl is pretty reasonable when it comes to Chinese Takeaway. The food is good, their chicken chow mein in particular. I also like the chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce. The prices aren’t too bad either and they do deals during the week.
Overall, Jowbowl is great if you just want a nice takeaway for a night off cooking, but to be honest, the food isn’t anything to right home about.
