This was great dining experience. The food was very flavorful and our service was on point. We had great selection of drinks to choose from, and good options for food. The dessert was fantastic!! It's a classy bar vibe, with hints of a sports bar, and shaken with an upscale restaurant if that makes any sense. While the price point is tipping into the higher end of where it should be, I would certainly come again!
Outstanding experience year after year with this one being even more special seeing how much Bellevue has grown.Shelby was an incredible leader and helped me after I insisted to sit in the sports bar during a busy transition.The ambiance had the wait feeling like a blink and the anticipation of the legendary hibachi wings... I just need to say that they are worth the investment and there is a reason they aren't on the Happy Hour menu.Thank you as always for delivering the great experience on this slice of the globe!
Good happy hour! Enjoy the ambiance and courteous staff but overall the prices tend to be on the higher side (definitely try to go for happy hour to save a few bucks). Also most of the food options are spicy, so if you do not like spicy food, your options are limited. The ahi tuna poke bowl was incredible though (and not spicy), I would return for it!
I visited first time at this place as I heard from my friends it’s really worth it! This place is located at perfect heart center of the Bellevue downtown where you can first get good parking.As me and my friends had really good fun in a whole day outside so we wanted that at night to have something lavish fine dine food experience and this place that what I excepted I experienced also. Dine in is as good but we chose to sit outside where they arranged everything so well even in a cold weather.Service staff is really courteous and helpful where they were checking us properly after every meal. Service female staff is very polite well groomed.Only one thing was not good about outside seating that is it’s too noisy and that’s we experienced because of our nearest table who were laughing like on the high level but we also laughed with them and made their night more memorable! Hahaha..!Food and drinks- food is perfect like top notch and drink which I tried Hurricane crush was superb! One of the meal we don’t like it as I felt it was became cold may be because of outside seating where everything was airy but at the moment only female server replaced it with another new one.One of the good thing I noticed where there might be he was manager and if I’m not wrong his name is Cambrien he also came and asked us about food and service and everything. Even at the end I also personally met him and said, thank you for everything what we had it and experienced, he was so nice and genuine.Overall it was amazing experienced and I am being hotelier I got very satisfied!As Cambrien said, you have to come back, sooo yes of course very soon..! :)
Really cool atmosphere at this location, the service was really good and we really enjoyed our experience. Think high end sports bar and fine dining, odd combination but the blend is classy and seamless. Have already had discussions about coming back to try some different items on the menu and sit in the wrap around booths in the bar. The salmon sushi pictured was amazing, a must try even if your not big on sushi. There isn't really an easy way to explain the flavor but we had to order more it was so delicious.
Warning: this rating is based on our experiences sitting in the outdoor / tent seating area. It does not represent the nicer interior Joey Bellevue restaurant seems to have.We walked in with high expectations, but walked out with disappointments.Pros: The waitresses and waiters are well trained and courteous. The presentation of the dishes is decent. Portions are decent. Ingredients selection and the fresheness are decent. They do take walk-ins, but be prepared for long wait time for busy nights, or potentially seating in the outdoor area (see the Cons below).Cons (why the 2 stars rating):1) We were told that the indoor seating would take close to 90 mins wait, or we could be seated right away in the outdoor seating areas which are enclosed and heated. It is inside of a tent, but the heating is too light / insufficient to allow you to remove your jackets / coats. The waitress was nice to allow us to move from a table that was closer to the entrance to one that was at the very inner corner and closer to the heating vent. Still cold. So, if you're not comfortable eating with your coat on, don't dine at the outdoor seating. (BTW, tonight's outdoor temperature is 50 degree.)2) The dishes we ordered are all heavily seasoned (Korean style califlower, crispy tofu bowl, burger, the house salad dressing, and the Sichuan tofu lettuce wrap). Too salty. I get it that most restaurant foods tend to be salty to give your taste buds an outsized stimulation. But this is like 2 or 3 times more salty (as opposed to 20% more in most other places). So, if your tolerance level for salt is low, this might not be the right place for you.I hope our experience tonight is atypical of what Joey's is known for, and hope that I could be proven wrong in my next visit. But the money we spent didn't meet our expectations of the experiences we received. And I probably wouldn't go there on my own any time soon...
Wonderful cocktails and wonderful food. It's a bit on the expensive side. But worth the experience.
Will NEVER eat at this Joey again. I’ve been to the U-Village one several times, so when my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to visit I suggested it.The first issue was waiting forever to get a server over to us.Second, my mother-in-law ordered an item that was pretty normal, not too out there. We all got our food, except her. The waitress was confused and said “oh, you didn’t get anything?” We corrected her, and about five minutes later she came back to tell us the kitchen was out. So, she had to settle for fish tacos, which were only a dollar or two less than what she had ordered, and way overpriced for the portion size (should have been comped after the first issue.)My sister-in-law ordered chicken Parmesan, after saying to the waitress that she is highly intolerant to spicy food, and asked to make sure. Waitress said it isn’t spicy at all. Within two bites, my sister in law was having issues and asked. Turns out they sear the chicken in chili powder and use chili infused oil in the pasta. So, she sent it back and ordered steak well done and triple checked there is zero spice. Waitress again confirmed there is zero spice. What came out was about a 3oz steak encrusted in pepper and definitely on the more rare side of medium rare. Absolutely not what was ordered. The waitress only took one of these meals off, and my sister-in-law went hungry.Only my fiancés meal - lobster ravioli. Okay, I get that lobster is meant to be pricier, and it’s Bellevue so everything is pricy. But $30 for six normal sized ravioli is a little above reasonable. He asked if this was the normal serving size and the waitress got annoyed.We aren’t high-maintenance people, and we aren’t stingy. We went out for a nice meal with visitors and had a terrible experience all around. Like I said, we’ll never be returning. Just know if you’re going, you’re going to get less than stellar service, mouse-sized portions that will probably be wrong, and you’re going to be paying way more than any of it is worth.
This place is really amazing. The food was good, and the cocktails were made real good. Their hummus was exceptional.
a beautiful restaurant, the portions were large and hearty, I was especially pleased with the dessert, it turned out to be so fresh and tasty, it is impossible to resist)
