Been here only once! But the Pho was a 10! That broth is my need to learn but I think I know .... Secret fruit vegetable 🤤 My favorite dish where we I go! Everything we ordered for our family came so quick when it was jam packed! Big portions! Great good. Such a it's in Chinatown and I'm from Milwaukee but it's worth the drive anyways! Can't wait til I try the whole menu.

Don’t be deceived by the bubble tea prices shown on the wall near the front door. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw the menu on the right wall and assumed it was up to date. The cashier didn’t mention that the prices had increased, either.
After getting my receipt, I realized I was charged more and asked why. They told me the prices on the wall were old and no longer valid.
If they’ve raised their prices, they should at least cover or update the outdated ones so customers have the correct information before ordering.
They didn’t apologize for the inconvenience caused by this misleading setup — instead, they just kept saying the posted prices were outdated. Really disappointing and shows a lack of basic business ethics.

Joy Yee is an enigma- from the amazing food to the amazing drinks and the gigantic menu, I'm so impressed by the variety of options and the speedy and kind service here. The food is delicious and great quality, especially for the price. I will be back!
Our favorites were the beef chow fun, basil shrimp, and avocado smoothie.

Everything was good until the server kept on asking for tip, this is the first time I had a server ask for a tip at joyee I usually leave cash but he kept on asking for tip... I don't know if hes new or what but it was really annoying.

This Asian restaurant in downtown Evanston has a huge variety of dishes across many cuisines! Despite its name being Joy Yee Noodle, they serve far more than just noodle dishes. The food comes out very quickly, and the portions sizes are huge. I highly recommend ordering a variety of dishes and sharing them family style. We tried the beef chow fun, the sweet and sour chicken, the Malaysian seafood fried rice, and the walnut shrimp. Everything tasted freshly cooked and delicious. This place also probably has the largest boba menu you’ll ever see. Like their entrees, these boba sizes are massive. If you’re looking for a wide assortment of Asian dishes to try, come to Joy Yee!

What you get for an almost $20 dish is definitely not worth it. Taste is just lacking. I’ve been going on and off for a decade now and having tried it again after 2 years, the only thing that went up about the place was price while everything else went down. Used to take everyone here, now I will not recommend it because taste doesn’t match price. If they offered better food quality then I would understand the price jump but they managed to do the opposite. Sad but now it’s like that I guess

Seated for roughly 15-20 minutes without our order being taken at a non busy time. Have drink and food order at the same time and it came out at the same time. Ignored by waiter as they checked on surrounding tables. When time to pay for the food a different waiter came and placed the card Reader in front of my date even though my bright red card was clearly visible and completely ignored me. I gave a minimum tip just to be courteous. Food what great, however service was clearly bias. I recommend take out.

Use to make the trip all the way down here from Schaumburg or to the location downtown. Very disappointed and sad to say that the last times I’ve visited this particular location it’s been nothing but a mistake. The food quality has gone down and the taste has followed the same direction. Today we ordered 3 bubble teas and all of them were the consistent of water even though we ordered them frozen. Sadly won’t be buying food from here again. They are cutting corners in all the wrong places.

A bit expensive for just a drink, but everything is expensive nowadays.
Amazing smoothies that are actually made with fresh fruit!

Omg, the news is right! Their Boba is absolutely great and worth waiting for. The tapioca is fresh and made to prefection. Additionally, the flavor of the Thai tea was so original and fresh!

Really great service! I brought my team here for lunch and the food was delicious and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer.
