“We both got the boba waffle ice cream for dessert which was amazing as well”
First time visitor so I stuck with the smiley faces on the menu which represented the recommended Entrees.
I ordered $30 worth of merchandise from this location only to arrive and the location is closed without prior notice.
I'm confused why they're doing hot food now?

“First time trying the taro tea, super delicious and unique.”
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!

“My friend wanted us to dry durian flavored ice cream….”
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!

I love going to Chinatown and every time I go, my visit is incomplete until I go to this place, I always get the rich cream & stingy house milk Tea 🧋, they have this beautiful anime on the wall and also the chandeliers are unique and beautiful.

“Nice spot to grab some boba.”
Nice spot to grab some boba. They are always busy and now hiring! They always use fresh ingredients and you can tell they know what they are doing. They sometimes change their menu. But nice spot to grab some boba tea while in Chinatown!

“Joy Yee Plus is a must visiting place in Chinatown, Chicago.”
Joy Yee Plus is a must visiting place in Chinatown, Chicago. When I visited, I ordered refreshing fruit teas with fresh and great quality fruits. The crispy bubble waffle and the soft ice cream are a perfect combo. Joy Yee Plus has a variety of desserts and drinks for all.

“Joy Yee is definitely the place to eat at when visiting Chicago’s Chinatown.”
Joy Yee is definitely the place to eat at when visiting Chicago’s Chinatown. The menu has so many options. The pho is amazing and the ingredients are quality. The spring rolls and boba teas are excellent too. There is no shortage of servers and the move quickly. It’s efficient and the staff are friendly. We stop in every time we’re in Chicago.

“Amazing! We had Shabu Shabu for the first time and loved it! The portions were so big. One beef...”
Amazing! We had Shabu Shabu for the first time and loved it! The portions were so big. One beef combo definately feeds two to three people easily. I was so stuffed. The beef broth was delicious. We ordered an extra side of dumplings to add to the broth. There were so many options for add ons or extra noodles or meat. Our server was friendly and helpful. We both got the boba waffle ice cream for dessert which was amazing as well. I highly recommend trying the Shabu Shabu. And for bubble tea Joy Yee is the best!

“Sometimes the color drinks taste watery bit I still love this place and will continue to come back.”
Sometimes the color drinks taste watery bit I still love this place and will continue to come back. Milk teas, bubble waffle, and drinks are good. If you want less ice or sugar let them know. If you want simple waffle with toppings they do that as well(see photo). Staff are nice and love the place.

“I’ve been to the normal Joy Yee for boba, but figured I’d try their specialty shop.”
I’ve been to the normal Joy Yee for boba, but figured I’d try their specialty shop! The drinks are slightly more expensive, but I think the inclusion of add-ins like honey boba, pudding, etc. make many of the drinks more worthwhile. Either way, the drinks are delicious and the boba tasted super fresh.
