YooYee 喜又
Jonathan Lee · 467 Google reviewsYooYee 喜又 — high-caliber chinese in Uptown. It gets busy, and that's part of the appeal. The flavors don't apologize for being bold. "The beef was extremely tender and juicy, but there weren’t too many pieces" — Jonathan Lee [$$]

“this place is worth the hype and worth the wait! we had potstickers, scallion pancakes, brisket noodle soup, and duck. everything immaculate, every dish outdid the last. inside the vibe is busy and lively but once settled at our table it was completely comfy! we will be back :)”
“This food was insanely good. We ordered the cucumber, scallion pancakes, dry sizzling tofu, and cabbage and they were all excellent”
“Best Chinese restaurant I’ve tried. Crispy filet is tops. Getting peashoots with garlic helped keep the meal balanced.”
“People reading this will not appreciate that this food was consumed in the midst of a heat wave. Holy sheet drinking all the broth was a mistake. This must be the Qi my mama is talking about because on the car ride home my soul was burning. The back of my neck, upper traps, and triceps were on fire. Can’t wait to see what my next pee is like.”
“Great food with lots insane flavor. Atmosphere is quant with good energy. The staff is very kind and generous even when busy. Menu is very large with plenty of options. Can accommodate larger groups. Will be coming back!”
“The food was excellent! The texture of the hand pulled noodles were so fun to eat! The scallion pancakes were extra flaky, crispy and delicious too! The service was top notch. Great staff! Can't wait to visit again!”
“Absolutely incredible meal. Although we came for the hand pulled noodles, the wontons and beef chow mein are what will bring us back. The chicken spring rolls and Thai tea were delicious as well. The meal is more of a dim sum style so be prepared to have your dishes shared and served at different times 😊. The main guy running the place really cares about the service of everyone and it shows, we will be returning!!!”
“one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten in Chicago. We went on a Saturday at 6 and had about an hour wait. The cold garlic pork belly starter was a surprise at how delicious it was. It may have been our favorite dish.”
“My friend discovered YooYee on TikTok, and we decided to give it a try. The prices are fair, and the food is average for authentic Asian cuisine. Although the waitlist system malfunctioned, the host promptly seated us, which we greatly appreciated. The restaurant becomes quite crowded in the evening. Overall, a reasonably priced and reliable spot.”
