"Joy Yee has food, but you don’t need to concern yourself with that. This is one of the most popular boba spots in Chinatown, and during the summer there’s always a crowd standing in front of the takeout window in Chinatown Square. Get the sweet rose with vanilla ice cream and strawberry jelly." - adrian kane, john ringor

"During the summer we swing by Joy Yee’s takeout window for boba. But this Chinatown spot also has very tasty food (like the shabu shabu and Szechaun wontons), and right now they also have partially-enclosed outdoor seating. And as you probably guessed since it’s on this list, Joy Yee’s is also BYOB." - adrian kane

Had a beef/pork broth hot pot with beef prime rib. Ordered mushroom, cabbage, tofu, and udon sides. I liked the different sauce options they had and how they were maintained. They had a wide variety of desserts as well. I felt like the price/markup was a bit high compared to other shabu places I’ve been to, so I am hesitant in revisiting. Overall a good spot to try out.

The THE JASMINE 茉莉花 🥭 🍓was extremely refreshing and delicious. Get you some strawberry mango and passion fruit flavor green tea with fresh strawberry and mangos with mango popping boba. Love the presentation and the container my drink was served in. Thank you 😊

Bought Lychee fruit freeze and matcha milk tea (took risk). The lychee was just amazing, and the same could not be said with matcha. I was not sold big on matcha. But over all it was really good, and the quantity was good.

We went there for dessert and they had lovely ice cream called bubble waffle ice cream. It was amazing. We took strawberry one and that wasn’t too sweet and filled with strawberries kiwi and many more. Loved it. And also fruit tea was lovely too. Staff was good. Only problem is place is little bit small so you don’t have enough space to wait and select what you want to order. They have a long menu so you need some time to think. Overall loved it. We gonna go again for dinner also.

As someone who grew up in the vietnamese version of the avocado smoothie, Joy Yee Plus avocado smoothie is just ok. It lacks the avocado taste and the creaminess. I tried their milk teas and fruit teas as well and I would say their fruit teas are better.

Cute little Anime themed Boba tea place in China town. They have variety of smoothies and boba teas topped with ice-creams. It's usually crowded.

1st time here while on vacation in Chicago and we had some hotpot. Food tasted amazing and the drinks were very flavorful! And to top it off they have some pretty cool wall decor! Definitely recommend
