I had happy hour with my coworkers at Joey Bentall One after work the other day. The atmosphere was chill and great for a good chat after work. There was quite a good variety of snacks and alcoholic drinks on the happy hour menu, but since I don't drink alcohol, I wasn't benefited from the happy hour menu. A few of us stayed a little bit longer and had dinner too. I had the tuna poke bowl with avocado. Not bad but not particularly tasty. Service was alright. Overall, my experience at Joey Bentall One was average - nothing bad but there are other places I prefer to go for a happy hour than here. read more

The sangria drink was really good. I had to be careful when drinking it, because it just tastes like juice, so it's easy to drink too much without realizing it. I absolutely loved the chicken skewers. They were tender and flavorful. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken wings had a lot of flavor, but were a touch too spicy for me. The miso mushroom was good, but didn't have as much flavor as the last time I had them. The gyozas were tasty and I enjoyed the sauce that came with it. It was extremely busy during my visit there and at times it was hard to locate our server. However, when she was there she was attentive . read more

Had a nice time at Joey. Specialty drinks weren't great, like the slush drinks only had a topping of slush. Coconut Smash seemed to actually just be coconut flavored ice. Poke salad was a highlight though. Dessert was apple tart that proved too tough for our spoons. Wait staff efficient and friendly. Ambience:loud. Very popular location on a Saturday night! So, reservations strongly recommended. read more

Wow! This absolutely blew me away. This restaurant is very upscale without the hefty price point. I was very surprised to see later on that this is a chain because it really doesn't feel like that. We came on a holiday and didn't have reservations so we were put on a waitlist. But it didn't even take 15 minutes and we were already seated. They had so many great sounding items on the menu but I had my heart set on sushi. We got the Hummus appetizer and absolutely loved it. The food came out very quick. I didn't have any drinks that night but they had a great sounding selection on the menu. The restaurant space itself is a little on the smaller side so it got pretty loud at times since it was super busy. Our waitress was very attentive and checked in with us frequently. Overall I highly recommend you stop by this location! read more

I love this upscale restaurant without the upscale prices. If there isn't something on this menu that you want, you're not hungry! It was really hard to choose between all the interesting appetizers, salads, and mains. We settled on the spicy crab dip, which was perfect--probably the best I've ever had, and served with wonderful grilled sour dough toast. For my entree I had the yellowfin tuna salad, a wonderful, almost deconstructed combination of rare tuna, perfectly ripe avocado, mango peanuts, and greens served with a perfect champagne dressing. It's hard to believe this is a small chain, as the food and service have all the marks of a very passionately managed restaurant. Highly recommended. read more

We ate here twice for lunch. First time we split the burger which was very good. Straightforward burger but they did it well. Fries were perfectly crispy. Second time we stopped in for lunch we split the hummus app and the prime rib sandwich deal they have for lunch mon-fri. We really loved both and was totally blow away by the hummus app. All the little parts of it were just perfect and the pita chips were also perfectly crispy and flavorful. Highly recommend this place. read more

This was one of the few restaurants that's open after 10 PM and close to our place of stay. We thought of taking our chances (didn't read the reviews) and went in. It took a few minutes to get a table, but that was fine (probably 10 minutes without any reservation). These were the things we ordered - Spicy Strawberry margarita - very good Japanese Gyoza - good Tuna Poke Bowl - never thought salads could be taste so good !!!! we werent that hungry but wanted to have something light and hence went for salad Yellowfin Tuna Salad - very good, definitely to be included in your order Molten Chocolate Cake - mmmmm...lovely! They had a Test kitchen menu and we ordered the Spicy Crab dip from there - no regrets. the dip was very good but the bread were little burnt for our taste. This place is a definitely to be visited at least once. Our waitress was very good, kept checking on us and was also patient. Ambience was lively. read more

The interior is dark and kind of drab. The hostess was lively and offered to seat us at a booth since we didn't mind the wait. This restaurant seems like a place where large groups can easily gather. It is dimly lit and fortunately we had a table by a picture window. Service was missing and spotty. It took many minutes for someone to come to our table and ask if we'd like a drink. She said we would see our server shortly but she was happy to take an appetizer order. Appetizer: button mushrooms sautéed in a creamy savory sauce. The sauce was flavorful but overall, the dish was mediocre. Cod served on a bed of rice was nicely seasoned, moist-- a substantial piece of fish. Hamburger - two paper thin patties with cheddar cheese, dressing, a couple shreds of lettuce and a pickle. I enjoyed the burger but would have preferred a thinner bun. However the bun was fresh and paired well with the burger after I pulled off the overhanging bits of bread. I had the burger with the side of salad which turned out to be the star of the dish. Very fresh cabbage, beets, bits of mango and raisins, lightly dressed in their signature dressing. Very nice. Our server was so busy in this understaffed, warehouse of a space that we couldn't believe she had a moment to talk with us at the end of the meal. Plus she was taking care of outside patio and a couple of large parties. The management needs to encourage teamwork and hire more staff. The washrooms were an adventure to get to, past the kitchen into another dark restaurant space, with the women's bathroom being upstairs. I would not come back here unless it was the only place available. read more

My office likes to drop by here to celebrate the season. I was looking forward to coming here again as the experience last time was solid. I started off with the sushi and prawn tacos. I didn't think they were anything spectacular, but they were a nice starter. They tasted good and I appreciated that a crunchy taco didn't explode when I bit into it. I grabbed the classic steak and added prawns to the side. The prawns weren't amazing and probably not worth adding as a side. The steak itself was cooked well and seasoned well. The fully loaded crispy potatoes shaped like a spring roll were surprisingly really good. They were likely the highlight of the dish for me with a great contrast of crispy and smoothness of the mashed potato. I capped it off with the s'mores ice cream pie. I thought it was really good overall. I loved the dollops of marshmallow whipped cream. It can be a bit strange as it's not evident it's a different type of whipped cream if you're not paying attention to that. Ultimately, I was very pleased with my time at Joey's once again. I hope to be back there next year for another holiday party. read more

I love coming to Joey's. I've been to this location a few times now for various happy hours and early dinners. This review is based on my two most recent visits. Ordered: Sunshine beer, Tuna Poke Bowl, Yam Fries and Roasted Corn Guacamole. Holy moley this meal was good. The Roasted Corn Guac has to be one of the standouts in the guacamole world that I've tried. The roasted corn added this subtle sweetness and it had crumbled salty cheese on top - so good! The poke bowl had so much flavour and knocked any other poke bowl I've ordered out from my mind. This stood alone as the one poke bowl to rule them all. The scene was an after work crowd, not too loud, but it wasn't quiet either. Happy Hour: Red Sangria, Cuvee Red, Truffle Fries, Korean Cauliflower, Slider Duo Duo of Donuts, and one side of the Crispy Mash. Wow, I wish every mashed potatoes came like this, it was like an egg roll stuffed with mashed potatoes and topped with bacon and cheese and sour cream, drool. Everything was delicious, korean fried cauliflower (whic I don't see often) was nicely breaded and had a good kick to it. Cass looked after us and she was fantastic in helping us with the menu. In both instances, service was great from the moment you enter. Everyone here is very attentive and friendly. read more

Food is not bad but I will never order from them again. Place the takeout order and they told me it would be ready at a certain time. I showed up 5 minutes early and they told me I would have to wait another 10 minutes. Well 10 turned into 25 turned into 35 and I got fed up and walked out because it screwed up my entire evening. It's okay for like noisy bar type environments but I'm never giving my business again read more

My most recent visit after coming to this over the years and this location never disappoints as the food has always been consistent. Although the original sushi steak combo used to be on a cedar plank which was instead picture worthy (see my previous review from 2022) - the presentation was much nicer than before. Flaky apple tart with the Canadian maple ice cream is always a treat and I only order this when wanting dessert here. Being from the states, I wish we had something similar to the Joey Cactus Club empire so I always get my foodie fix when I come to those two restaurant chains when in Canada. read more

Delicious. Everything was both estheticly pleasing and pleasing to the palate. Every dish was superb down to the desserts.

Was a late night at work on a Wednesday after setting up at the home show Saw this place within minutes of driving home and decided to stop in Glad we did! It was only about 15 mins to happy hr so we waited and ordered the avocado dip to start and I just needed a burger & Beer after a day like that so Okanagan Springs 1516 was the way to go and the happy hr bacon cheddar burger with fries My wife had the tuna poke bowl. Everything was really good especially the avocado dip! It totally hit the spot that evening. Our server was great Really personable and on it with everything. It's a big open space that has modern but elegant vibe and we had a nice table beside the window with a view of the city lights. One of the best chain restaurant experiences we've had in a long time. Will Definitely be a place on our radar whenever downtown. read more

I recently visited Vancouver and had the good fortune of dining at Joeys. I was very impressed by the service and friendliness of every staff member we interacted with. Mackenzie was our server and truly enhanced our experience. She was extremely helpful in working through the menu with us. We were a party of 9 and everyone enjoyed their meals. The restaruent had a nice vibe, however the music was a bit load making conversation difficult. The expansive menu has something for everyone, and the quality of the meals was truly outstanding. They have several locations and will visit when i am in Southern Cal. read more

After having a drink here the night before we decided to have dinner as a treat to ourselves. The service is generally very good, and the atmosphere is lively. We didn't have to wait too long for any of our dishes. (Though to be fair we arrived at 4pm on a Saturday.) Our sushi cone appetizer absolutely stole the show for the evening! In fact we liked it so much we ordered two more after dinner. The jumbo lump crab cake appetizer was better than average for a restaurant, but while there was a fair amount of crab it was overpowered by the bed of sauces that it was served on. We look forward to eating crab to taste fresh crab not sauces. My wife's salmon entrée was a decent size portion and was cooked very nicely, but it was a bit salty. Fresh salmon really doesn't need additional salt. My Joey classic steak was a 7 ounce sirloin which tasted good and had some nice spices added but it was a bit chewy for a $40 steak. It was served with what they called fully loaded crispy mashed potatoes. I get what they are trying to do serving a roll of mashed potatoes shaped and fried like an eggroll on the outside but it really didn't work. The fresh vegetables that accompanied both of our entrées were OK, nothing special. Overall we had a very nice evening and at half the price I would've given four stars in my review, but for what you get at Joey it is quite overpriced. We would rush to return to enjoy their Sushi Cone appetizers and a glass of wine but I wouldn't pay to eat dinner here again. read more

Sean was one of the best bartenders I've ever had. I had been up since 5am and had a long, stressful day. His service & presence literally made my day. & it was a stressful day of long hours of work & a flood in my apartment - so I greatly appreciated it. Exotically having worked for over a decade in the industry and now running two businesses of my own - I really take note of and appreciate good customer service. Especially realizing it's more uncommon than common. Jackie was a PHENOMENAL hostess as well. This girl's energy A+++ Nick was awesome as well as a take over bartender. Will definitely be back to compensate Sean since I couldn't close out with him since he had closed out already. Also even if he hadn't I would have come back for his exceptional service and presence. read more

Howdy folks. How are all of my fellow Yelpers doing? Well, as with my previous review, we are still north of the international border, and right now I am going to introduce you to a restaurant called JOEY Bentall One. Only at the time that I ate there I only knew the place as simply "Joey's." But when I went to write this review I discovered that there was more than one. Ok let's get into it. My Canadian friend, whose name also happens to be Nathaniel, suggested this place. Upon walking in I could tell right away that this was somewhat of an upscale establishment based on the decor and the fact that the people there, both staff and patrons, were dressed a lot nicer than I was. It was a little intimidating at first. But the complimentary champagne that the hostess offered killed those feelings pretty quickly. So my friend and I are seated in a spacious and comfortable booth. It wasn't long before a server arrived and took our drink orders. Nathaniel went with a diet coke. How boring. I went with my usual which is a margarita on the rocks. Our server left and was back with our drinks within' a fairly reasonable amount of time which I digged. Let's get into that margarita. Now I'll come right out and say that am somewhat of a snob when it comes to what I expect in a margarita. I wouldn't say that I was super thrilled with my Joey's margarita. But I wasn't totally disappointed either. It was a bit on the foamy side which isn't a super big deal. The only problem with that is that sometimes you discover that there is more foam in the glass and less liquid. But as for the way it tasted, it had a decent blend of all the ingredients. Could've been a little bit stronger on the alcohol side though. It definitely wasn't an Ivanhoe Pub margarita. But I'll still give it a pass. Now let's talk about the food itself. I ended up going with the California Chicken Sandwich. The menu listed it as having spicy mayo(that did it right there), aged cheddar, and smokey bacon. Although the menu didn't list it as having a vegetables on it, I'm glad I decided to ask our server because come to find out, it did come with those nasty veggies. I found that quite odd that the menu wouldn't list the vegetables that were on the sandwich. Maybe that's just an American thing. I don't know. But what I do know is that this "Nasty" guy doesn't do veggies. I'm all about that meat baby. Anyways, back to the food. I will say that my sandwich was pretty tasty. The chicken was cooked properly, and what I mean by that is it wasn't overcooked so as to deny letting that juiciness come out. The spicy mayo was a nice touch as it added some great flavor. The only thing I was a little bit disappointed on was the size. It just seemed a bit small. I was expecting something much bigger as that's what I've grown accustomed to when dinning at a restaurant of this caliber in the states. That's the only reason why I'm holding off on that extra star. But the quality of the sandwich made up for the lack of quantity. Before I wrap this review up I want to make mention of the excellent service at JOEY Bentall One. The staff there seemed friendly and not in the phony way that you see at so many of these big corporate establishments. You know the kind were the servers are constantly trying to up sell. "For $2 more we'll add whip cream to your coke. For a $1 more we'll put a cherry on top." The Olive Garden is notorious for crap like this. Here the staff genuinely seemed like they were interested in providing good customer service to their customers. I dig that. Anyways, I think I'll go ahead and wrap this review up by saying that if you want to enjoy some delicious food in a cozy friendly atmosphere, then I'd say JOEY Bentall One is the place for you. I know I'd go back there. Only thing is that next time I may have to order two California Chicken Sandwiches instead of one. So this review is going to end with a "Nasty" rating of 8 Fingers. Until next time, may the margaritas get you buzzed, and the sandwiches be big enough to fill up your belly. Thanks for reading ya all. Happy trails. NASTY NATHANIAL read more

Looking for a nice place to "sit a spell" in Vancouver after clambering off a Disney Wonder--ful cruise ship. Sat outside on the patio with cocktails and great Asian food. A far cry from the majestic scenery of Alaskan cruise, but majestic in it's own way. Lettuce wraps: perfection. Japanese Gyoza: fantastic. A little confusion with the cocktails (a vodka gimlet needed some explaining). All in all, a fun mid-afternoon happy hour. read more

I love this location. Tall ceilings, huge walls of glass, great vistas of downtown crowds, sculptures, and the Fairmont hotel. Sarah E. was an engaging server, informative, confident and relaxed and gave great menu suggestions! The raspberry gin martini is a new menu item exploding with raspberry flavor and has a lovely "mouth feel" with the whipped egg whites. The Peruvian-Japanese ceviche was delicious and refreshing with perfect little morsels of seafood. The soy and cilantro overpowered the subtle flavors, for me, but great textures and would order it again. The truffled chicken was incredible, and I don't usually order chicken. It was beautifully moist, tender, subtly flavored and had a perfectly seasoned crispy crust - it was surprisingly good. I substituted the veggies for the browned potato salad that was mouth-wateringly good and hit all the right umami notes. Banana bread dessert - perfect comfort food. Not too soft, not too gooey, and no rum flavor to overpower the other flavors. Delectable. Nick, the sous-chef, came to talk to me and was not only excited about the new dishes but was really open to suggestions about them. That really made for a special memory of the evening, being able to talk to the chef. Overall, a perfect meal in a beautiful setting with great service. I will definitely be back. read more

On our last night in YVR we opted to stay close to our hotel for dinner and opted for Joey as we had walked by it multiple times during our stay and the place always seemed to be jumpin'. The front of house guy was super fun and terribly cute as was our server, so that always makes for a good start to the night. Probably had some of the best pita chips and hummus laden generously with tzatziki to start. I had the spicy butter tofu which came with pappadam, nan, and a genrous mound of rice. My friend had pomodoro, which was a bit spicy. Espresso martinis were on point. read more

Been to this JOEY many times over the years, but this is only the second time in 2021. Loved the sangria, my usual drink at JOEY.

To be honest, Joey is our favourite restaurant in Vancouver. Although shipyards has our heart - we did venture down to the Bentall location and we had the best time! We were expecting a more uptight corporate atmosphere but we were pleasantly surprised by the vibe! The food was incredible as per usual, perfectly pairing with the cocktails. Our server Maddy was a ray of sunshine and provided excellent service. She was friendly and answered all the questions we had! Looking forward to visiting again! read more
