Just Uber ate this and it was pretty gross. I got the ahi tuna and steamed gyoza. Both were aweful. The rice was so old and soggy. Its just gross to bite into a meal expecting freshrice and instead you get soggy on the bottom and old dry on the top. Not ordering from here again.

Joy Bowl is a fantastic chain, and I'm extremely happy we have it in Western Massachusetts. Staff is always welcoming and kind, and will help you craft your bowl (either from their pre-set menu, or with the make your own bowl option). I am often shocked by how high quality their salmon is, and I absolutely recommend getting salmon and/or tuna in your bowl depending on your desire.My bowl usually consists of some deviation of:White rice, tuna, salmon, pineapple, seaweed salad, masago, tamago (Japanese egg), green onion, sweet onion, unagi sauce (sweet eel sauce), shoyu sauce, garlic topping, and tempura topping. They have a plethora of options, and you can build your bowl however you'd like!Their East Longmeadow location has great serving portions, especially compared to comparable poke establishments in the area (which can be up to 2x smaller for the same price).Establishment has consistently been clean and well-kept, and the location is newly built/renovated, so the atmosphere is lovely. Spacious area to dine-in for, though the take-out option (and delivery option) is also appropriate here (the quality here will not decrease if you take it to-go).Take note of their new bubble tea options, which they recently began offering at the East Longmeadow location. Western Massachusetts is in a bubble tea drought (with very few acceptable options), so Joy Bowl offering solid bubble tea is exciting.I frequent Joy Bowl often and their quality has remained consistent and fantastic since their opening. It's my pleasure to rate them 5*!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian selection, especially considering the option to craft your own bowl. My vegetarian friends and acquaintances thoroughly enjoy Joy Bowl.Dietary restrictions: Plethora of options. Staff is friendly and will help you accommodate your dietary restrictions.Parking: Free parking lot to the side of and behind the establishment.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly establishment. System is remeniscent of Chipotle (craft your own order).Wheelchair accessibility: Joy Bowl is wheelchair accessible; entrance is up a soft ramp.

Delicious and fresh! Delighted this location finally opened. One thing I'd ask for is more signature bowls since I'm too lazy to craft my own
Just had this for the first time and I am so impressed. Everything was so fresh, the jalapeños, the cucumbers, the ahi, the crab, just absolutely amazing. Also got the pork dumpling app - also delicious. Highly recommend.

Dumplings are delicious and my husband likes the classic bowl. A little heavy handed with the sauce sometimes, so if you are particular about it, get it on the side.

The food is fresh and not heavy fast food. The service was terrific. The young lady who helped us was efficient and pleasant. The place itself is clean and the price was fair for what we received.
