    Really good food. The orange chicken and Singapore noodles are fantastic. Owner is a good guy, staff are generally helpful.

    So this may get confusing for anyone looking up reviews of this place, but it's officially named…read moreJoy Yuan Noodle. Now, the big sign above the place outside still says Joy Yee...as do the plates, the cups, the employee shirts. The food and drink menu look the same too. Pretty much the only thing that says Joy Yuan is their menu and their website. So I don't know what happened, but it's pretty obvious this used to be a Joy Yee's and some kind of management change happened, but it feels like literally nothing has changed. Which is a good thing! My wife and I used to take Joy Yee's for granted in Chinatown, going only for drinks, but their food is always solid as well. We were going to do takeout, but our kid was hungry so we dined in and got the classic beef cubes in tomato rice and salt and pepper shrimp. Dare I say...the beef cubes were better than what we remember at Joy Yee's? They were still sauced well but also were more tender and less chewy than we remember. The shrimp were large and solid as well, and not too spicy. We had to get drinks of course, and my berry/passion fruit smoothie took me back to many days walking through Chinatown. The prices are still a little higher like everything else in the world, and they could definitely do with some decor. Maybe they had to change it with the change in ownership? But service was on point and I think we'll definitely be making the drive back here.

    I remember when this location opened around 2016-2017, I was so excited to not have to drive to…read moreTinley Park to eat here. This has always been a super solid location until a year or so ago. They changed chefs or something and the food started tasting different. Not bad necessarily, just not as good as it was. Fast forward to present time, this location has randomly closed again without any notice for 8 months. They finally re-opened this week under a new name "Joy Yuan" but inside is exactly the same. Still extremely stark, sterile, and depressing, but it still has Joy Yee branded plates? It's a little confusing. Half of the boba menu is crossed off now too. As for the food, I'd say it's mostly the same but the won ton soup took a turn for the worse. The broth almost tasted dirty oily and burnt but the wontons themselves were good. Usually the broth is super savory and garlicky, but that was not the case. We also ordered egg rolls and the size and presentation of these has changed at least 3 times since they first opened. They're big again but have that odd burnt/oily flavor to them. The chicken fried rice remains the same, the orange chicken was good as well and we decided to try the mixed mushroom chow fun which everybody enjoyed. I was also happy to see that they had the mango passion fruit freeze (add strawberry popping boba) that remains the same and is delicious. I need to try the traditional milk teas to see if they're still the same too. Service is still the same with a lot of the same staff still working there. It's not good but it's not bad, they're just efficient. This isn't a sit down place where you're catered to if that's what you're looking for. I don't know, I'm torn about the new ownership or whatever they did under the new name change. The food seems the same for the most part but it's also not at the same time. Our experience wasn't bad, and I'm willing to try it again but it seems that this place has lost its spark.

    We had a reservation on a Sunday evening. A woman sat us right away. The booths are wooden, which…read moreis not comfortable. They did have thin pillows, which were not helpful. She seated us, gave us water and came back 15 minutes later. No visible staff in the dining room. She took our appetizer order and dinner order. The spring rolls were like leather. Terrible. There was no staff in the crowded dining room for 15 minutes at a time. There was one woman doing all of the service and one young woman who would come to take empty plates. She never returned to the table to offer a second drink or fill our water glasses. So we only got one drink through the whole hour and a half we were there. And we had empty water glasses the whole time. They did not bring the soup we ordered stating it was not on the order. Dinner took forever. No servers in sight. When we finally got our meal, it was tasty. One person cannot run an entire dining room. And be missing the most of the time. I suggest carry out for this place. Service was terrible.

    We visited this restaurant during our trip to Naperville. As soon as we walked in, I really liked…read morethe ambiance - it genuinely felt like a little piece of Bangkok. We were very excited to try the food, but it turned out to be average at best. We ordered the Tom Kha soup and two lunch specials: Pad Thai with pot stickers, and basil chicken with a vegetable egg roll. The soup was decent, though it was a bit overpowered by the fish sauce. The spring rolls and pot stickers were great, however, and the service was quick.
