Absolutely terrible. Don’t come here unless you want food poisoning. My friend has been terribly ill for 7 days now because of the boba tea. Multiple others have left reviews claiming this has happened to them as well. If I could leave 0 stars I would.

First time trying the taro tea, super delicious and unique. It’s got a nutty flavor, which I love. If you’re looking for delicious and unexpected totally order #30 drink. The line was long but they also have a self order station. Lines may be long but service is quick and worth waiting for!

This restaurant definitely seemed like it was more popular for the amount of milk tea options than for the food. We were very pleased with how quickly we got our food and some things tasted really good, however, my meal made me physically sick a few hours after we left, one other dish was pretty dry, and none of us finished the milk tea because it tasted a little off. We will eat at a different place next time we are in Chinatown.

They have Asian ice-cream which is pretty much the same as McDonald’s machine ice-creams but with Asian flavors! They also offer fun drinks, milk tea and smoothies!
“Heads up” there is no washroom in here!

Super busy place, very packed!!! Come early!!!

We came on a Friday evening around 9:00 p.m thinking that this place wouldn't be too busy but we were wrong.

It was extremely packed like people didn't have any place to sit that's how busy and packed it was.

I was walking around craving something really simple nothing too heavy and I saw a sign posted outside of Joyee plus promoting their new sandwiches (bahn mi) it looked really appetizing and light so I decided to try it.

Good idea to post a sign outside their restaurant door promoting their sandwiches I wouldn't have stopped in if I hadn't seen the sign outside promoting them. But because I saw the sign and saw that it looked tasty I went into order.

The woman that took my order was a little bit rude when I stated that I wanted to add avocado to my sandwich. She said that she would remove the carrots and the onions if I add avocado and I asked her why since it already comes with the sandwich. She said it will be extra for the avocado and I said that was fine. It was $1.50 for avocado which I didn't mind paying. I just don't like that she assumed that I didn't want to pay extra for toppings So she was going to sub the carrots and onions for the avocado. Not everyone is a cheapskate and I don't mind paying extra for an ingredient if that's what I want!! I didn't like her attitude saying that I couldn't have certain ingredients on my sandwich that already comes with the sandwich to begin with just bc I wanted to add an additional topping. It was rude and unprofessional. She shouldn't assume.

She said it would take 15 minutes to get my sandwich and it took about 20 minutes. There was a really long wait because there was a really long line of people ordering drinks and dessert. So come early to avoid the long line!

But it was definitely worth the wait! The sandwich was super warm the bun was warm and semi-crunchy and it had sweet and tangy pickled carrots and cucumber, sauteed onions, a little bit of bell pepper, cilantro and the avocado that I paid extra for. I got the lemongrass chicken and it was well seasoned. You can actually taste the lemongrass, the chicken thigh was chopped up into chunks, was warm and tender, perfectly cooked, not too chewy and it wasn't overly salty. It was perfectly seasoned! I really like the taste of the pickled veggies at the added to the sandwich as well. It was $13 with tax.

I'm really glad I got the lemongrass chicken banh mi and it went excellent with the avocado I added! I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of their sandwiches. They have a steak and egg sandwich that looked really good and they also have a rib eye sandwich too.

In terms of the ambience there, not much seating and the tables are wobbly and there were food particles on the floor. I know it's busy there but the staff should still come out and wipe the tables down and clear the food crumbs food off the floor. At least sweep it once, it's not a good look for the restaurant when chunks of food/crumbs are on the floor.

Overall, the sandwiches look appetizing I'll be back to try the rest! 🥪

My friend wanted us to dry durian flavored ice cream…. Stinky, yet delicious! The kids really enjoyed trying a few different things from the menu. On a hot day at his spot is a perfect stop. Will be revisiting next time we are in China town. Bussin!

The best bubble tea place! My favorite in the entire US. The teas are so fresh & delicious. The most amazing fruit teas that don't taste artificial.

Lychee rose with lychee jelly is good but very sweet! They have an outdoor walk up area to get your boba drinks
