Medill cherubs 2007

Joy Yee’s Noodles, 521 Davis St., combines various traditional and innovative Pan-Asian cuisine to create one of Evanston’s most comprehensive menus. At Joy Yee’s there are over 350 dishes and drinks to choose from, ranging from $3.50 tapioca freezes to $17 high-end seafood dishes such as red snapper. With heaping helpings of food, sharing with friends is a must.

To experience Joy Yee’s firsthand is the only way to truly appreciate it, but below is a Cherub-style menu that captures the restaurant’s highlights:

Sesame Chicken - $9.95
“Sesame is the cornerstone of every good Joy Yee’s meal. It’s best to eat it fresh and at the restaurant, where the steamy goodness emanates from the chicken. When they bring it out hot from the kitchen, it’s a heavenly experience.” – Alex Katz, Boston

Black Pepper Beef - $8.95
“It’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten. It’s amazing, spectacular.” – Ross Lipschultz, Los Angeles

Combination Fried Rice - $6.95
“It’s the best of all worlds. The shrimp, the chicken, the beef’s like a medley of meat in my mouth. It’s fantastic.” – Jeff Scholl, Bethesda, Md.

Pineapple Chicken & Shrimp Fried Rice - $7.50
“It’s inside of a pineapple! It’s just splendid because of the display. Seven bucks for a pineapple, chicken, rice and shrimp. It’s out of this world. The flavor explodes in your mouth.” – David Tintner, Cooper City, Fla.

Peach Mango Tapioca Freeze - $3.50
“It has the refreshment of the peach, the surprising tropical flavor of the mango and the unique taste of the tapioca balls.” – Gabriel Debenedetti, Princeton, N.J.

Saving their customers the trouble of bathing, Joy Yee’s also delivers. Nothing is more rewarding than walking back from the entrance of Jones Hall with food in your hand, smiling proudly as others gaze with jealousy and stare.
