Odette ENovember 5, 2015Extraordinary place to eat @ Chinatown. Everything is delicious and if you are a big party taste&share. Tip: you can bring your own wine or beer free of charge.
KamiAugust 15, 2018We always want to go to different places in the area but we keep coming back to Joy Yee. With their gigantic menu, there's something for everyone in your group to enjoy.
Mohammed Hassan-AliSeptember 7, 2014Serving sizes are definitely for two. Had the black pepper beef and it was delicious. Rice could've been fresher though.
- The best tapioca bubble tea selection in all of Chicago. Made from fresh fruit Great quick Chinese food as well.
Every fruit u can imagine is available for their smoothies. Big portions of food and good service
- If you are visiting Chinatown you MUST get a drink from Joy Yee. My favorite is the red bean coconut milk freeze with tapioca!
Glecy BernalesJune 9, 2014You maybe far but distance won't bar me from going back for the mango-passion fruit smoothie with black pearl. I LOVE IT!!!
Casey HughesFebruary 22, 2014This place is incredible, and severely underrated. The portions are huge, food terrific, and prices are reasonable. Authentic Chinese food at its best.
anna hongAugust 11, 2014The bubble tea take out window is what we drove all the way to the chinatown location to experience.
Joy SinegarMay 31, 2017Everything I've had here was awesome! The lemongrass wings and udon soup is to die for!
Order Orange Tofu... it's not on the menu, but they'll still make it! It's beyond good! Fried Tofu covered with their delicious Orange sauce and some broccoli :-)
Ramya VijayakumarJanuary 6, 2016Hands down the best udon noodles and try the Vietnamese ice coffee with coffee jelly...
Claire CoyleSeptember 16, 2017The food is great. Udon, egg rolls, etc. Atmosphere is a bit annoying - it's like a cafeteria.
Fei JinJune 26, 2012Frozen fruit smoothies are a must. Watermelon lychee is heavenly. And try the mango softshell crab roll!
Julie LoSeptember 28, 2014String beans with salty fish is yummmay!!! String beans nice and crunchy and the portions are decent
Diana MazueraSeptember 7, 2011Get a fruit drink with tapioca NO MATTER WHAT!! and try the Vietnamese veggie spring rolls- delicious sauce dip! ask for two!- James NguyenMay 26, 2013Great all natural fruit smoothies for a cheap price! Best bang for your buck & refreshing!
I <3 this place! The cuttle fish appetizer is out of this world. If you like calamari, you'll love it!
Dana JensenMay 30, 2015The tapioca always seems to be overcooked or undercooked here. Menu is a giant garbled mess. I genuinely don't understand why it's so popular when it's surrounded by killer restaurants.
Ellie BSeptember 27, 2010Portion sizes are huge, so be prepared to share with the table or have leftovers! Lychee and papaya freeze is delicious, as is the jackfruit sprite.
Jennifer DrinkaMarch 22, 2010On your way, stop by Chinatown Square to see the statues (year of the rat, rooster, etc.) to learn about the traits of your birth year. Then... set aside a good chunk of time to peruse the 500 or so
Jeffrey DunnOctober 2, 2011The menu is extensive! If you cant decide, close your eyes and point in the menu. Its all really good :-)
Deb SongFebruary 19, 2012I heart the bubble teas! So many great choices! Top three milk tea, green tea and red bean!
Don PhamMarch 10, 2011Awesome for bubble tea or any tasty Asian cuisine that you may be craving. Portion size is enough for two.
Mitch BrinkmanApril 14, 2010Go for the 450 item (no joke) menu. Stick with Chinese dishes. And finally, stay for the fruit blend-ups...i recommend the Strawberry-Lemon Iced tea
Avinash SalgamMarch 18, 2016Don't get the jumbo noodle soup unless you and friends/family are really hungry
Red bean shaved ice and scallop with meat sauce in stone bowl is great
Get a coconut and red bean freeze with whole red beans (not blended). It's a treat you can drink *and* eat!
Camille💎June 15, 20117277363991 smoothie choices. Wayyy too many to choose from. The smoothies are super yum.
Katherine ChiuAugust 24, 2012Huge drink selection yay, but portions are way too big. Appetizers are hardly appetizer sized.
Keith MarranApril 28, 2014I became instantly addicted to the ginger black milk bubble tea. It's pretty spicy-gingery.
David StevensJuly 10, 2015If you're looking for a traditional Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, then this is NOT the place for you.
Seiko ChongJune 30, 2014Taste nasty. I asked for fix,and employee dumped simple syrup in my cup. Ewwww more worst! Bad service. Pay $5.70 for nasty drink without icing cuz she dumped the simple syrup instead make a new one
