Joy Yuan Noodle & Smoothie

I remember when this location opened around 2016-2017, I was so excited to not have to drive to Tinley 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.

Inside looks very bland and unwelcoming. They changed names but still have Joy in there which is confusing. The food is extremely greasy and salty, but there is one creepy waiter there who kept staring at my wife and chased me outside for more tip. Terrible service and we were grossed out by his behavior, beware of this waiter if you bring a female
