"A dinner at YooYee will ensure that you don’t have a boring Monday. This Sichuan spot in Uptown has all sorts of exciting chili-infused dishes, like beef noodle soup with chewy housemade noodles, live fish in green peppercorn broth, and chilled beef shank, tripe, and tendon. And if you’re not good with spice, the sweet-skinned duck or garlicky shrimp vermicelli has plenty of flavor that you won’t have any FOMO if you show up with heat seekers. Plus, unlike weekends when there can be a wait, it’s easier on Mondays to grab a seat in their bright dining room." - adrian kane, john ringor
