Joey Bellevue Review

It's expensive and pretentious but the food was good. The service could have been a bit faster. I gave it 4 stars because it's obvious what they're offering and they deliver on it.

Food was really good, but we waited for a long time after we were seated for our waitress to come over.

Food is great! Especially the hibachi chicken wings!

Laid-back atmosphere, decent food, very nice and friendly staff.

Went twice till now. Everything was nice here. Liked both the times.

Food is always good enough. Service can be slow, but it is your very typical Joey's establishment.

Wonderful place to hang out. Not particularly special on the food front, but having a beer and a bite in the outdoor space is great.

That's really great place !!! I believe they are better than their Woodland Hills branch in California .

3-6pm is their daily happy hour menu. We ordered tuna poke bowl and bacon cheddar burger and couple drinks. It was nice and cozy on a Wednesday afternoon. Friendly staffs and nice service.

Really good food, really good service. Top notch in Bellevue

A bit pricey, but the food, service and vibe are great. Love the herb-crushed grilled salmon with the crispy mashed potatoes (think spring roll stuffed with mashed potatoes).

Fun place to go out for a drink in the evening, Excellent Service, Great selection of drinks & Food - Personal Favs - Hibachi wings, original Margarita, they make an excellent old fashion & the night market curry

It's a hip, bougie bar/restaurant with a nice modern vibe and all attractive female waitresses. It's extremely similar to earl's down the street. The service has always been good, nothing to complain about there.

The caesar salad is surprisingly really, really tasty. I like my dressing to be made with real anchovy's, and this one does a good job of not tasting overly fishy but not tasting like Kraft dressing, either. The nachos are also pretty tasty, as well as the sushi.

Decent food, good ambience, great service. The menu is small, not many options...but I am sure everyone can find something worthwile. I always have :-)

@Terriann: You really took good care of me and my wife. You don't know, but we were here for our 3rd Marriage Anniversary. Thank you for everything

Joey's is a hip, fun restaurant that is also a great example of making the experience as safe and clean as possible. The food is great and service is excellent. It is early one of the best restaurants in Bellevue.

Good food, beautiful place, Kenzy gave us a great service, definitely gonna come to this place more!

Tasty lettuce tacos and awesome yellow tuna salad. Bellevue Washington today.

Well someone just used a copy of my card at this place and bought a gift card for 1000.00. Fraud. I'm doing everything with these guys to get the charge reversed. Please help

The place is nice. Ambiance is very calm and chill. The food was not so good. The fish tacos were dry and tasteless. And way overpriced. So order something else please... and also fries are terrible.

The staff is really nice and welcoming. Outside the a nice selection of beers and cocktails, the appetizers and snacks are of good quality and tastey. The Gyoza is fresh and the nachos can be ordered at varying levels of spiceness. Joey's has full meals but I simply cannot comment on it since I have not tried anything. Lastly, the atmosphere is modern with a younger crowd and my only very minor criticism is the music is very loud.

The atmosphere was nice. The food is a bit overpriced but so is most of everything around here. It's nice that it's open late. I ordered the New York strip medium rare but it came out medium well. Still tastes good though.

Very upscale bar and restaurant, beautiful outside patio and bar. Food was excellent, lots of good options for lunch and dinner. The waitresses here are stunning AND give excellent service! Will be coming back for sure!

Food was better than I expected. Noisey, and the waitresses temper their mostly good looks with a healthy attitude.
Would go again if someone wanted to, but probably wouldn't suggest it as our destination.

One of my fav restaurants in Bellevue!! Best food/drinks in the city

Been here a couple times.
Best dishes: chicken wings appetizer, salmon bowl. The apple pie is life changing.

Food quality/Consistency/Price: consistently just okay. Nothing really innovative. Pretty steep pricing. Lots of drink options.

Wait/Atmosphere/Service/Location: validated parking, right in downtown Bellevue. The music and crowd can be unpleasantly loud at times. The service was actually pretty great.

This place has a nice atmosphere. You can go casual or a bit more dressy if you prefer. Good food, as well as TV's running games, if any are on at the time. Make no mistake however, this is no sports bar...though you can definitely find burgers and other great eats on the menu. I go for the steak!!! Definitely worth stopping in to check it out if you're hungry and in the Bellevue Square area. The only reason I didnt go 5-star is because I do find the steaks are all around tastier at Jak's Grille in the Issaquah area. There is room for improvement in that regard.

The service initially was fast, however once the food came there was no cutlery or napkin, we spent so long trying to ask for a napkin that we jumped straight to asking for the bill once the server eventually showed up - they're charging premium prices for a poor service

The wait staff was great and the drinks were good. This sort of place isnt really my scene, its in the heart of downtown Bellevue. Dont get me wrong its really nice and im kind of conflicted on what I should rate it. For everything we drank it was wayy overpriced and the music was so loud we had to raise our voices just to speak to each other at our table even though there was no place to dance?? Yet it's still worth to drop in. The food was decent enough, for its price.

So good and wonderful atmosphere, love it. My go to place when I visit Bellevue.

Food is okay, service was good, drinks are definitely watered down. Overall my waitress was great but my glass of water, which I had to send back, was dirty. It was pretty obvious to me that the old-fashioned and tequila shot that I ordered (which were not cheap) do not contain the amount of ABV they should. I should have said something while I was there but I did not want to believe the other comments here. Pretty disappointing that an up-scale restaurant would trick costumers by adding water to an expensive shot of tequila.

Mediocre drinks, corny atmosphere, music too loud. Cool if you're newly 21

I found this place on a food delivery app. Boy, I m glad I did!
Their burger was one of the best and cleanest I ve ever had and watch out for the bread from their bakery, which is brilliant!
You ve earned a new regular.

They have a lot of different things going on here to keep your attention. A custom cocktail list that while not what I would consider outstanding it still has something for everyone. The wait staff is known for being attractive and friendly. Large big screen TVs overlooking the bar area. And a food menu that more than holds its own against many of the other pure restaurants in downtown Bellevue. Try the pork dumplings or short rib. Both dishes are excellent.

Gave this place multiple tries, but the food is just underwhelming for the price and the service/management could take a course in people interaction skills. There's tons of other places to spend money!

The burger was good but the service does not have the same efficiency as Vancouver.

Dining at Joey creates fun and memorable nights and experiences. Delivering consistent service that exceeds expectations. The food, drinks and atmosphere hit the mark for what dining in this city should feel like. However, Joey Bellevue I believe has an added edge. I have visited Joey Bellevue a few times recently and I have felt remembered and cared for. Thanks to Irina and the rest of the staff we were greeted with the absolute best. I think Joey Bellevue is hiring leaders that have made this Joey elite.

Hostess, waitress and champagne server went above and beyond to make our party of 11 women have the best time last night! When we changed our minds about where we wanted to sit, no problem; When some ladies started getting cold outside, they pushed all the heaters around us and brought out blankets; when we changed our minds about how to pay the bill, our waitress graciously worked with us . Excellent service by fun and friendly staff! Everyone loved their dinners, desserts and drinks. We have a new favorite place to dine! Thank you Joeys!

Great place for creative meals and fabulous drinks!! The ambiance is tasteful with an upscale menu and healthy portions. The service has consistently been quick and friendly.
Validated parking at Bellevue Place.

Amazing food and amazing service! Would HIGHLY recommend!!

Very busy on a Friday afternoon. Mostly business crowd. A little difficult to hear those at the table with me but the location is great and easy for jumping to a nearby place for dinner.

Good service good food.... great place to go in Bellevue.... Clean. Good Vibes.

Wonderful place to dine out or have drinks! I had the Chinatown lettuce wraps which were absolutely perfect! My husband had the steak and sushi combo and everything was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful! We loved it!

Hands down the best edamame that I have ever had. Their ahi tuna burger was kind of over cooked, but the appetizers are amazing. Also if it's a nice day you can sit on the patio and watch the nice cars park across the street (one night it was an Audi R8 another day it was a lambo). The drinks are relatively cheap and the vibe here is great.

I have always liked Joey for restaurant dining in the days when we could. I am extremely pleased with how they are handling food quality and curb side delivery take out during this covid period. I have ordered food a few times and food is always super fresh, thoughtfully packed and sealed. Warm cookies with my order have been a nice surprise. There is always someone with mask and gloves to deliver the food straight to your car. Thankful for their amazing grocery/pantry list too.

This place has a corporate vibe to it and serves amazing food n cocktails.
The Veggie burger is the best in Bellevue area.
The rainbow roll was superb as well. Overall a great place in Bellevue downtown that serves some of the best food n drinks in your budget.

Lovely upscale restaurant with a very lively bar. The seating area is away from the bar so you wont be bothered by any noise. Food was delicious and well presented. It's a fun eclectic menu. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. We went there after work, rather late at 10:45 and had no problem being seated or ordering a great meal.

Bartenders will most likely ignore you for 10-15 minutes and continue making fresh drinks for other people at bar before even taking your order. I ordered chicken parmesan which was quite average for it's price and took way longer than it should've. The quality did not validate the long wait at all.

Atmosphere and crowd is good.

Everything I've ever had here is absolutely delicious!

Joey's in Bellevue never disappoints. Fantastic nibbles or burgers, good atmosphere and great location.

I am a traveler, and I really enjoyed my time here. Tge experience is unique, the employees were really nice and well behaving. One suggestion is to reduce the volume of the songs a bit, so that the people can still and tall a bit. When I visited, they were playing the songs very louder, literally we couldn't talk each other.

I really like this place for it's upscale and comfortable atmosphere, good for dating, hanging out with friends or watching sporting games, there's indoor/outdoor dining, the customer service is great! The food and drinks are deliscious and its not too pricey. I will be returning again.

Food was supposed to be good here, but we never found out. Sat in the bar and despite lots of employees running around we were completely ignored for 10 minutes. Decided to move to the bar counter and were ignored for another 10 minutes. So we left. Lots of other places to eat in downtown Bellevue where they actually serve you..

Update 3/13/18 - Julie from Joey's followed up with me to personally apologize for our experience. Really appreciate that they care enough to actually call and talk to me about this. Updating my review from 1 to 3 stars to reflect the care they have for their customers. Will be giving them another shot soon and see if we have a better experience the second time.

Good drinks , great service. Place was a little loud for my taste

I did pick-up and when I got there no one came out to greet me. I looked through the window and there must ve been five cooks and four ladies working. I thought there would be a designated lady to handle to-go/Door Dash orders. None of them showed any sense of urgency. I had to flag a lady down and she asked if I needed help. I told her, ummm...ya. I ordered food to go. By that time, there was a line of four other guys waiting for their food who wondered the same thing.

Ten minutes later, a lady who ALMOST had an idea of what she was doing finally came out with my food.

The food was good but the experience was basically a bunch of pretty ladies, one of which was wearing green yoga pants (unprofessional), that couldn t handle a TO-GO order.

Great drinks and food selection. Went on a Saturday at 7pm and no wait to get a seat at the bar!

By far the best food in downtown. Try lobster ravioli

UPDATE: recently the music is definitely more quiet and it doesn't prevent you from having a normal conversation, so I've increased the score and updated my review.

The good:
1. Food is really good except for the butcher's sandwich maybe.
2. The service: well dressed, attentive and nice.
3. The decor is definitely appealing with the wood tables and leather couches.

The bad:
1. Some tables are not lit well and you end up not being able to see what you're eating because you cast a shadow on your plate. Surprisingly annoying.
2. A bit too pricey.

Nice ambience, great food and the waitresses are good.

Best customer service! Love this place!! Amazing attention to detail and delicious food. Every time I go they make me feel like a million bucks. I ordered 2 bags of fruits and veggies from the Joey Market during this Quarantine, and I received a free cookie with a handwritten note You deserve this ! Love this!

Joey, you ve done it again! After I wrote the above review a week ago, I bought a second set of groceries this week, and received a free molten chocolate cake with my order.

This was our first time here. I ordered the Sirloin Steak and Prawns. My Partner ordered the Salmon dish. I don't eat Potatoes. I asked for Broccoli instead, but they were out. Instead they offered a Sauteed Vegetable and the dish already came with Asparagus. It was sometime after 30min had passed before we received our orders. My steak was ordered Med Rare, but it was Rare, and almost Blue on one end. It didn't bother me, as I can eat almost anything anyway. The Asparagus was perfect as were the sauteed Vegetables, not a normal choice on the menu ( it should be! ). My Partners Salmon at one end was... Raw. She couldn't finish her meal anyway, as she said she was stuffed. If it were me, I wouldn't have been happy about that. The wait staff were wonderful and very attentive. But... here it goes... The music was so loud , I had to nearly shout to be heard over the table. It actually gave me the beginings of a headache. In fact, everyone had to shout to be heard. Why? I DON'T GET IT. The second thing I noticed, was the kitchen where the food is prepaired, seemed fairly unorganized. Maybe that's why it took so long to get our food.

Price: A Little on the steep side. Maybe to keep average working peeps like me out.. ?

Ambience: A bit above my norm, but I felt comfortable there, and that's what counts.

Wait staff? Excellent!

Food: Very Good. Almost worth the price. Oh them sauteed veggies! And the Asperigus perfect ! If our two dishes weren't under cooked, I would have given an extra Star.

Would I go back ? Maybe if I'm in that area, and feeling a little flush ( Rich!... for you yuppies, Xer's, Yer's, whatever.. )

Ended up here after other plans fell through. GREAT drinks and we ended up just ordering app after app and sharing! Many different yummy apps! We will be back! Fun lively atmosphere!

Went to Joey's for the first time today. There were 8 of us in our group. The wait staff was very unfriendly, and SLOW. A group of guys sat next to us (and came after we were sitting) they got their food and 2 rounds of drink before they even took our order.. The food was great.. Staff could do better!

Only reason it's not 5 stars is they got rid of the ahi tuna tacos...

I was disappointed in the restaurant side of Joey's. The girls just weren't killing the game so to speak. But I guess I'm used to the Canadian Joey's where dreams come true. On a positive note the hibachi wings were L337.

Nachos are very good. Nice atmosphere in the lounge area.

We stopped in for drinks after dinner. The staff was attentive and helped our group get their beverages.

The music was a little loud and made conversation in groups difficult.

The decor was upscale and not over the top.

The drink menu was pretty comprehensive and would not have hard time finding an option.

Prices seemed reasonable for downtown.

Awesome ambiance with good waiter staff. Good selection of beer and wine.

Food and drinks are great, but customer service not so much. We had to keep chasing our waiter for drinks, water, bill.

Went for happy hour (3-6 Sunday) decent choice of drinks & food including original super which turned out to be a G&T with lime granita. Korean style cauliflower & poke bowl were good. HH sliders a bit over done

Great food. And great people. Would come back in a heart beat.

Amazing service, including an excellent hostess staff who offer champagne as you enter the restaurant. Service is excellent, bar menu is incredible, food never, ever disappoints. The head chef is incredible, you can have gyoza or nachos, great selection. This is our favorite restaurant on the eastside.
