" While I had a generally good experience at Joy Yee, I found a few hiccups. The food was delicious but they brought out some of our items in an odd order. My favorite was the Korean short ribs, beautifully cooked with vibrant flavors. However, the service could have been better; we had to ask for our drinks to be refilled several times. Overall, a solid choice with great food, just needs to tidy up the service a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my experience at Joy Yee didn't live up to the reputation. The bubble tea I ordered tasted bland, which was a huge letdown. The food was okay, but didn't seem fresh. I expected more for the prices they charge. I might give this place another try, but my first visit was disappointing overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Joy Yee after hearing so many good things about it. The inside has a nice decor and quite a lively vibe. Our waiter was friendly but overwhelmed, which made service a bit slow. The food was undoubtedly good, and the portions were generous! I especially loved the crab rangoon, but be prepared for a wait during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Joy Yee has a chill vibe—it's bustling and full of energy! I particularly enjoyed the variety offered in their bubble tea menu; it was easy to get carried away with choices! The kimchi fried rice was solid, but I was expecting it to be spicier. I’d visit again, but I might try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time we visited Joy Yee, the experience was decent, but our last visit was definitely better. The dumplings were fresh, and I enjoyed the fried rice immensely. However, we did have a minor issue with service getting our orders mixed up. Regardless, the quality of food makes it worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to try Joy Yee, but the experience fell flat. The food took longer than expected to arrive, and when it finally did, it was cold and lacked flavor. The atmosphere was lively, but it couldn’t make up for the disappointing meal. Service was average at best. I doubt I’ll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Joy Yee is an excellent choice for lunch! Their lunch specials are value for money and the portions are surprisingly large! I appreciate that the food is made fresh while you wait. I highly recommend the garlic noodles and their unique bubble tea flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
