Editorial Review for Joy Yee's Noodle Shop – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Big, colorful bowls of noodles give off so much steam that windows stay fogged up throughout winter. The Pan-Asian menu spans the Orient, featuring noodles and rice dishes from Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and, of course, China. Starters include pork buns, spring rolls and chicken satay; entrees favorites range from Thai pad woon sen (glass noodles with chicken, shrimp, veggies, and egg) to Vietnamese blue crab udon noodle soup and Hong Kong-style chow fun.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

10/21/2007 Posted by katherinedonald

been going here for years and yes the lines are long if you go at peak times--so Don't go at peak times unless you are willing to wait a long time. Best fruit blends with tapioca ANYWHERE in Chicago. The dishes are large and two dishes often will easily serve 4 people. The varied menu is exception--there are dozens of dishes. The waitstaff are alot of young fellas who think they are in a Johnnie To movie or Miyake movie, I swear. The food is very "Hong Kong" and some Vietnamese dishes too. Never had a bad meal here. I love going here on Chinese New Year right before the parade when it's chill time.

Pros: portions generous & fruit blends are amazing

Cons: long wait times at peak hours

2 Star Rating: Below Average

The drinks are good, but the food and service is bad. The place is small and cramped. Plus the price is fairly high for chinatown. Conclusion: Pretty much any of the places nearby will have better food than this place, but the drinks first rate.

Pros: Drinks

Cons: Price, Food, Space
