JOEY Kitchen At University Village

The server was excellent, Melissa was really nice and the food was good. I recommend this place

Had a great time eating at this trendy atmosphere of a place. The service was fantastic. We didn’t have reservations so had to wait 10 minutes but we were given an appetizer to try as well as a small glass of wine while we waited. The rotisserie chicken that I ordered was very good; although I wish it would of came with a few more potatoes and vegetables. The waitress actually thought they had forgot to give me any but they were hidden under the large piece of chicken. All in all everyone was happy and we will most likely be back.

Every time I eat at Joeys (u village) I have a good experience. I met friends for dinner a few nights ago and had an exceptionally good experience. Our server, Ghazal was so friendly and attentive! Way after we had finished our dinner Ghazal let us know our table was in fact reserved but that she had a different table in a different section ready for us if we wished to stick around a bit longer. Which we did! So we moved! All of our drinks were refilled and clean silverware brought over! We decided to stay for dessert! Thank you to Joeys and their friendly staff! The food was delicious and your service, exceptional!

In search of a happy hour drink with a coworker my friend recommended Joey. They had a great $ 5 wine special (weds) with generous pours! We also had the lettuce wraps and cauliflower appetizers — both were pretty good for happy hour snacks. Nice comfy booths. Friendly waitstaff — no men to be found though… recommended for u village!

Compared to Joey’s in Vancouver, this place is terrible when it comes to food. Though the service is what i come to expect when coming to this brand restaurant, usually top notch. But the food is seriously lacking here on two occasions on the same month.
Lunch the other week. It was a sad sad lunch. One I was alone at the bar. But more so, the balsamic braised beef ribs? Cold. I get it, it’s lunch, you made the dish earlier, perhaps the day before. You had one thing to do, re-​heat it properly. Nope. Not only was that cold, but the mash was cold, and asparagus room temp. Nothing even what I could consider warm. I ate it begrudgingly. It was offered to comp it, but I instead paid for it since I did eat it all, but got free coffee out of the ordeal.
Last night, the Panang prawn curry? Holy moly, the basics of making a curry… Cook the shrimp through. It was still translucent. Better would have been to flash sear the thing and dump it in towards the end. The onions could have used the same treatment too.
But one thing about Joey’s I’ve always loved, the service. Both nights the staff were superb.

While food was good service was terrible. We were a party of four and the waiter (who turned out to be a trainee) just brought food for one person. After a while she talked to the manager and told us that the manager will talk to us. The manager casually put the rest of the food (much later) and she didn’t acknowledge the issue till I talked to her. The manager said she will take care of our appetizers and then only took care of just one. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 for food quality. Horrible service and bad handling from the management side. Complete buzz kill!
Edit: one person in the group got his bill completely paid off by the place but all the rest got no special treatment

Joey’s is a hip contemporary American dining restaurant. The atmosphere is a loudy/​noisy.
The pros about Joey’s Kitchen include being able to run into a warm cozy space as a party of 6 going as a walk-​in. They have a gluten-​free menu but it’s essentially just excluding extra ingredients on the regular menu. Tips: Instead of just removing ingredients, can you add other ingredients such as tofu in lieu of just eliminating the wonton skins? I ordered the ahi tuna salad and the best part was the salad dressing. They managed to perfectly drench (w no soggy lettuce) every bit of lettuce with the dressing. The only thing which could have used work is the presentation. The beauty of the presentation of the chicken salad was lovely! They should have added some of the color of the veggies to the ahi salad.
The service here was lovely with our waitress who always had a smile on her face; however, the kitchen seemed too busy with orders since they made our nachos incorrectly.

I’m not sure why it has taken me this long to go to Joeys for the first time since I’ve always lived near one, but regardless, I finally came to eat here for dinner recently with a friend! We arrived around 6:30pm on a Monday evening and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Luckily there were only 2 of us so the wait, I’m sure, could have been worse. But even so, the restaurant had many people in it especially for a week night!
I wasn’t sure what to get, especially because their drinks and food menus both had SO many choices! Since it was a Monday, I looked at their specialty cocktails for Monday — Real Peach Bellini. It sounded delicious! But as soon as I told the waitress, she said they recently stopped making that drink because of the season. :(I was pretty disappointed, but there were still many other cocktails on the menu, so I opted for the Elderflower Collins — delicious and fruity! I love fruity drinks and would definitely order this again the next time I come here. In terms of food, my friend raved about the Hibachi Chicken Wings so we ordered that. Yummy, indeed! It comes with 10 – 12 wings. I was expecting the wings to have more spice to it but when there is spicy food I am pretty critical about the lack of hotness. :) Between the 2 of us, we didn’t finish it (I think we only ate half?) so we had to take it home. For entrees, it took me awhile to choose, but I finally decided to order the BBQ Salmon Rice Bowl. Let me just say, it was DE-​LI-​CIOUS! The portion size was very generous (I had to box half of it) AND it was tasty! Seafood is my favorite protein and the salmon was grilled and marinated to perfection. The dish also came with plenty of vegetables (which I also love) so I was definitely happy about that.
Overall I would encourage everyone to come to this restaurant. Because this restaurant is very popular, it gets pretty loud in the restaurant. Sometimes my friend and I would have some slight difficulty hearing each other while we were talking so we had to sit a little closer to each other so we wouldn’t have to yell at each other. :) While the prices are a little more than your average night out for dinner, you definitely get your money’s worth from the very diverse menu and quality of food.

I’m not sure about the food, but a few of my girls and I stopped in to check out the Seahawks game one evening because the Ram was packed. We only ordered some cocktails. They weren’t bad. The game was on, but they were blasting electronic music. I get it that it’s not a sports bar, but everyone there was there for the game. They said they couldn’t turn down the music or the tv up. No reason was given, which is fine. That’s their thing I guess. The ambiance was dim and chic. Reminds me of Bellevue. I’m not sure why I would come back here. I guess it would be a nice place to hang out with your friends or to celebrate a birthday? Probably not a date because they hire models as servers for guys to look at, but I wouldn’t mind coming here with my husband. I like looking at pretty girls too. Reminds me to go workout.

This is one of the best tasting ramen noodle dish this side of town. And it’s not even a ramen house. Great place. Great ambiance. Engaging staff. Reasonable pricing on the menu. Would recommend this place.

Décor: chic, don’t go wearing socks and sandals
Food: small portions and not worth the price but they have some interesting options but nothing screams more than above average… a step above Earl’s
Noise: Loud
Servers/​hostesses: Not hard on the eyes
As rumored and like at Earls, If you look around you will see many business men and professionals, they Come here to admire or hopefully catch a young beautiful fish (I’m not talking about the seafood). The people come here to be ‘hip’ or stare at some ladies not for the food, so if you’re in it for that you have found the right place. Otherwise you are wasting your time and $. Ordered the ‘prime’ NY steak. Would have rather grilled my own steak TBH I’m too much of a steak connosieur and I was having doubts if it was indeed actually prime…
Could be a nice place for a ‘pregame’ or group get together I suppose.

We were sat at a small table right next to the kitchen where we could hear the staff talking and it was a bit disruptive. Our server Paul seemed a bit absent and he kept apologizing for being a new server at the restaurant. but he was very friendly. The hosts were awesome and attentive
Our fries were AMAZING and the rest of the food was okay. Probably would go somewhere else next time.

This place is a nice add for a place to watch some games. There are TVs throughout and the dark interior bodes well for viewing. It is packed before and after Husky games. The drink selection is good and they have specialty cocktails. The service is also good and the scenery is nice. The décor is modern.
Our group was seated immediately at a large booth and the attentiveness of the server was perfect, not too overbearing, but got us what we needed. The appetizers were good and the burger was excellent. They messed up one of our orders but it was corrected promptly. Located at the corner of U Village closest to the stadium.

The interior is very impressive, I walked in and was pleasantly surprised by the open interior design and tall ceilings. The food fell slightly short in comparison to the décor.
They serve all kinds of food, from wings to flatbread and sushi, that is probably the main drawback, why offer everything and only be mediocre at it while you can be the master at just one.
We ordered some wings, flatbread and some tortilla, food was good, but way too spicy; I felt like the only flavor added to every bite was pepper instead of proper seasoning.
The service was really good. As for the price point, I did not pick up the tab, so am not quite sure how much it was, but by looking at the menu, it was more on the expensive side.
Overall, it is an okay place to grab a bite if you are at University village.

Although it says American restaurant, I think it is fusion restaurant. The fries are thin and crispy. I recommended to try them because I finished all. I ordered steak fries with medium rare. The source is so so. The service is nice since the waitress told me to aware of drinking hot water it is a good place to talk with your close friends.
as people finished, can go to restroom. There is surprise!

I was visiting a girlfriend and she took me here for lunch one Friday. I had such a pleasant experience, I took my husband here on Sunday! My friend and I didn’t have a reservation Friday, but the hostess was extremely friendly and would personally walk up to us to give us updates on our table. We waited less than 10 mins and we were seated in a cozy booth by the window. I ordered a Bellini– I was surprised to see it in slushy form but it was still delicious. For my meal I ordered the paella and it was soooooooo good! It was full of shrimp, sausage and lobster. My favorite thing about it was that it came in a personal paella pan so you still got the crispy rice on the bottom. So good!
That Sunday my husband and I showed up in the middle of the NFL games. We were seated right away at a table near the bar. We started with the Goyza which were not fried and they had a nice kick from the spicy mustard. We also had the lettuce wraps– which had a ton of fresh ingredients and crispy noodles. Both were very good. For our meal, my husband got the hamburger– which u assume was good because I didn’t even get a bite to try it! I went with the Salmon rice bowl. It had a ton of fresh vegetables which added a nice crispy texture to the rice and salmon.
Overall the food was amazing. I loved everything I ordered. My husband even made a comment that he enjoyed watching football in the bar atmosphere without having to eat the typical fried bar food.
The service was fast and friendly. The hostess had great recommendations and our server was equally as attentive.

I wouldn’t be truthful if I didn’t first off tell you that Joey’s was the backup plan just in case the wait to get into Din Tai Fung upstairs was too insane. Well, the wait was insane, so we came to Joey. Joey has a modern, sumptuous interior that’s easy on the eyes. JP tells me that there’s a Joey at Southcenter too.
All the tables in Joey were taken, but our wait for a table at 6:00pm on a Thursday evening was no more than 10 minutes. We were seated on the patio with the retractable window panels in the ceiling. The panels were open, which was perfect for a rare cool evening during a relentlessly hot summer.
But what was less than perfect were the chairs’ interaction with the rough cinderblock floor. The legs on the wooden chairs don’t slide across the cinderblocks, they instead sort of jerk and grind, maybe with a big enough jerk to plow right over your foot. Watch out!
Much better was the food. Four stars plus really. We loved the fried cauliflower cubes, which came coated with a sweet and sour chili miso sauce and then sprinkled with sesame and poppy seeds. Also, they gave us a little cup into which we squeezed a lime’s juices. Then we dipped the cauliflower pieces into the lime juice. The juice paired very nicely with the cauliflower’s chili miso coating.
For my entrée, I ordered the short ribs. The short ribs reminded me of Sunday roast beef growing up. Joey’s beef was tender and delicious. The mashed potatoes and asparagus that came with the beef were excellent. But most outstanding was the gravy. This is one of the most delicious gravies I’ve ever sipped.
JP ordered the Cab Burger. Reminding me a bit of chicken lettuce wraps at P.F. Changs, the Cab Burger is a quarter pound beef patty enclosed in a «bun» of lettuce. Inside the lettuce bun, in addition to the beef, were pickles and 1000 Island dressing. A lettuce burger is a novel concept, but not terribly practical. While the beef was tasty and top quality, the lettuce burger quickly fell apart, becoming an eat-​with-​a-​knife– and-​fork burger. JP embellished his burger with Siracha. The pomme frites (French fries) that came with JP’s burger were excellent.
Unfortunately, the service setup is rather poor. You have six or seven or eight different people serving your table. You never really have a server, per se. And what happened with us is that we asked two or three of the different people if we could get water and ice tea refills. All of them said, yes, of course. But none of these people ever brought us refills! But finally, the fourth person we asked for refills from did bring us refills.
But in the grand scheme of things, I’m not sure how important is the service setup. The ambience is pleasant and the food delicious, so I’m going to round 3.5 stars up to 4.

Conveniently located at UVillage, this is a upscale sports bar with large screen TVs to watch games and eat some decent, healthy food. The menu is good with many healthy options.
I love the salads here. The spicy chicken wings are the best, not greasy like other places, full of flavors.
The presentation is also very unique and nice.
A little over priced for what you get.

Originally the plan was to go to Din Tai Fung, but after finding out about the current wait time, we decided to go down a floor and give Joey’s a shot. It was the best decision to do so that night.
It’s hard to miss Joey’s because of the outdoor seating and modern look. It usually buzzing with people but we were able to get seated soon after we had entered. Better yet, we were given outdoor heating on such a sunny evening.
Joey’s offers a wide selection of foods. You can find your classic American dishes like sandwiches, burgers and steaks, as well as Asian dishes like sushi rolls and sashimi. They also offer other ethnic dishes. We were pleased with the selection and couldn’t figure out what to order! We ordered quite a bit to try it all.
Nachos Grande — We started with this as an appetizer. This platter is huge and is meant for sharing! I adore that they make their own chips! You can see that it’s homemade and the puffiness of each of the chips. The crunch is so satisfying. It comes with an amazing salsa. I can’t tell you what is in it but it is just such a well fit salsa for the nachos. We opted out of the olives and sour cream, but it does come with those normally. The guacamole was refreshing and I loved how each piece of chicken was so tender and well seasoned. I would say that our dinner at Joey’s started with a great crunch!
Rainbow Roll — I typically don’t get sushi unless it’s from a place that specializes in sushi, but I did want to give it a shot. I was pleased with the rainbow roll here. I would say it’s the best rainbow roll I have had yet. The pieces of tuna and salmon were fatty and so smooth. It was very easy get down. The rolls just tasted so light and fresh. The sriracha aioli was easily a good partner for this roll.
Steak and Prawns — If you ask for medium, they will make sure they deliver medium. I like that about Joey’s. The steak is 5 oz but it is a very thick piece. The prawns are skewered and perfectly grilled. You know because you can taste the grill itself on these prawns. It came with seasonal veggies (at the time it was zucchini and peppers). I was very confused when I saw egg roll like items on the plate because it was supposed to come with mashed potatoes. We were taken aback when we opened up one of the egg rolls to find it filled with soft, creamy mashed potatoes! These mashed potatoes were to die for. I wish they would make these as an appetizer because they were just that good! The crispy exterior gives a great textural crunch and the inside is just so light and creamy. Best thing ever!
Spanish Paella — It comes in a cast iron and that means that the bottom of the rice is going to get nice and crispy! If you want to prefer it from being too burnt, make sure to mix the paella right after it arrives. The rice is simmered in a lobster broth which is present, but not overpowering. They don’t skimp out on the shrimp here. There are juicy, plump big shrimp on top, and little shrimp all throughout the rice. The chorizo pieces add a perfect spice and saltiness to the dish. Overall, it’s such a comforting dish.
Service was good to a point. Our waitress was very talkative and super nice. She always had a smile on her face and made sure everything was tasting good. She gave great recommendations as well. The only downside was that we were sitting waiting for her to come back to get our bill for quite a long time. It seemed like no one noticed that we were just sitting there with our food no longer being touched. Other than that, service was perfect.
Price wise, Joey’s is on the more expensive end. Appetizers are going to be around $ 15 while main entrees will be around $ 20 – 35, depending on what you get. However, for the quality of the food and the experience, I think it was well worth coming here. I can see myself coming back here for a special occasion. At the end of the night, we paid close to $ 100 for our meal. Most of the dishes here are shareable, so it might be cheaper to order and share everything with your guests.
Glad I came here and had a good experience — please make the mashed potatoes into an appetizer! I would buy so many!

Came here for dinner with friends. We were seated right away by our super friendly waiter. I love the atmosphere of the place– so much space and windows and has a chill vibe.
We ordered pimms cup and sangria– both were delicious!!!
For food we had one of the burgers, blue cheese fries, fish tacos and chicken caesar salad.
Every thing came out fast and was so delicious!!! One of the reasons I love joeys is because they consistently have good food and good service every time I come there.
