I love the drinks and food. I went to Joy Yee's this past weekend and really enjoyed it. It's a reasonable price and comes with a good variety. When you go here you have to try out the drinks. I had the avocado one and it was quite tasty.

I say come here and enjoy a drink and some noodles!

good for trying a new dish. Food: portion is large and the price seems reasonable. They do Chinese food alright but their Japanese and Korean "fusion" food is below the average. Drink: OMG try their mango freeze. Actually, you will like every boba tea they make. Cheap, fresh, and SWEET!

It's a really deal!!

Service: They are fast and the hall is clean but they only speak in Chinese to you which is weird. Even if you say things in English, they will keep responding in Chinese back to you as long as you have black/brown hair. No offense, I'm just stating a fact.

Conclusion:

bring you college friends who are visiting Chicago for the first time and have them feel the cool China town we got here in Chicago (I personally think Chicago Chi Town is the best in the country! so much lively and energetic!)

but DO NOT bring your girl friend!

You have arrived in Food Heaven!. Even the fanciest restaurants in town just can’t beat the presentation, taste and appeal of the food at Joy Yee’s Noodles. Everything looked so good, I've seen folks take pictures before they devour the tasty meal! For Appetizers, try their Crab Rangoon, Shrimp in a Blanket, or their Lemon Grass Chicken Wings. For the Entree, I love their Fried Red Snapper in Tamarind Sauce, Korean BBQ Ribs, Chicken Shrimp Rice in a Pineapple Boat, or their Soft shell crab over rice in a Korean stone bowl. And while you are there, try their amazing selection of fresh fruit drinks. Their food is a visual and gastronomic delight - take your camera along!

Poor service. We are regular customer of Yoy Yee's Chinatown Square restaurant. Today I went there again with my daughter to order some carryout drinks at around 3:30 pm but unfortunately we left without buying anything. It was because the woman in charge of ordering yelled at my daughter for ordering too slow. The woman’s English was really Chinglish and it took a while for my daughter to understand that she said there was no more mango. Yoy Yee's food is very good and price is reasonably but good service is also important. I do not whether I will go back again.

Good Chinese. I've gone to this place once and I'd go back to try it again. I really like how they have such a wide selection with the menu of stuff to chose from, though, me being as indescive as I am, I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to eat. I got the Teriyaki Steak, which surprised me when it came out because it wasn't a Teriyaki sauce with it, but rather the flavor was steamed into the meat. Also, it came baked in a cute little wooden box with the meat, vegetables, and steamed rice inside. The steak did have some fat on it which was kind of hard to cut through with the fork, but besides that was good. I liked sampling other people's food and the fried rice with chicken was really good to sample, with big chicken in it. It was a bit cramped inside, but luckily it wasn't too crowded because it was close to being closed. The portions were also big, so, overall I'd go back to it.
