    We dined at Joey's on our 3rd evening in Vancouver. So far it is our favorite! The vibe was lively and the service attentive. But the food! There was such good variety for my husband and my varied tastes. I had the steak and sushi along with the house salad. I have never tasted such delicious and unusual sushi before! The aburi sushi was new to me and very much enjoyed. I ate every bite. My husband had the chicken parmesan. It came artistically presented with the noodles spun atop the chicken. The chicken was moist and delicious and balanced well with the imaginative house salad. The prices were reasonable for downtown Vancouver.

    Best food that I have had in Vancouver during this visit. I had the beef tenderloin and it was fantastic. Service was great. Ambience: noise level a little high. Background music should be lowered.

    Crispy chicken, cheeseburger and fries, and mussel tartine were very good. Wish cheeseburger wasn’t as soggy. Taste was good though. Cherry Gin Sour and gin and tonic were good. Wish there was a few other items on food menu. Impressed with restaurant atmosphere and service. Very difficult to find street parking as many areas are permit, no parking, loading and passenger zone. Wish there was more parking around the restaurant.
