You can get decent Bubble Teas at Tea & Sympathy just down the street in Iroquois Center, as well as better snacks and good baked goods. Not the variety at Joy Yee, but it is all good there.
Or you can go to Old Peking up the road and have their spicy beef soup, or soup noodles with pork chop and bitter greens. And Fabulous Noodles is nearby, as Marusin said.
I admit to only having gone to the Joy Yee in Chinatown once, but that was enough. Everything seemed a mediocre imitation of the real thing. Still, they clearly are quite popular so maybe I am missing something.
Naw, I won't be going back.
