Ordered 2 smoothies - almost 20$ for small cup. Customer service was horrible. I called for pick up, walked in - didn’t greet. I told them Im here for pick up and the girl was like “call or online?/phone number” then give me the machine to pay while picking up another phone call (speaking with the same tone). Its so unprofessional to talk with no subject predicate to customers. Never come back to this location again

Prior to the pandemic I would go here quite often for the Pad Thai. Yesterday, I ordered chinese broccoli, which turned out to be baby bok choy, red curry shrimp which was watery and lacked any flavor. I also ordered the walnut shrimp. It tasted as if it was coated in mayonnaise, absolutely disgusting. The only thing that made a bit of sense was the garlic shrimp fried rice. Although that too was mediocre. Over $90 spent on food that was not worth it.

Honestly I had moderate expectations. I ordered an oolong milk tea with tapioca boba. Regular sweetened and little ice. It tastes like water and a bit of milk, almost like 1% milk or skim milk. For $7.50 my expectations were reasonable. I just wanted milk tea that tasted like oolong. I really can’t express how mediocre this is. I’m drinking this because I paid $7.50.

The food and selection is fantastic but the service needs more politeness, especially when you are in the service industry.

I almost died because there was a piece of metal in my boba smoothie. The smoothie was very delicious until I spit out a piece of metal. I do not recommend.

I’ve been to this place multiple times, and unfortunately, the experience is consistently disappointing. The food isn’t very flavorful, the portions are overly large, and the prices feel unjustifiably high, at times, I’ve even wondered if we were being overcharged.
What really ruins the experience, though, is the service. The server always seems to rush the entire dining process. From the moment you sit down, he hovers impatiently, pressuring you to order right away. On our most recent visit, he misunderstood our order and brought the wrong dish. Throughout the meal, he kept returning to the table—often unprompted—watching us closely and interrupting our conversations to try and pack up our food before we were even finished eating. It felt intrusive and uncomfortable, like we were being pushed out before we were ready.
The rushed, overly attentive service, combined with underwhelming food, makes dining here more stressful than enjoyable. Honestly, the experience gives me indigestion. I wouldn’t recommend this place. There are better options out there with better food, better service, and more respect for their guests’ time.
Used to absolutely love coming to Joy Yee Noodle during my undergrad & grad school in Chicago during 2008/2009/2010. Favorite spot for seafood soup with all my friends (Paul, James, etc).

Food was amazing service was horrible, had to seat ourselves and when we were ready to order the waiter took forever to come as well as when we were ready to leave was talking to coworkers and not paying attention.
