JOEY Burrard is a very lovely restaurant with a modern, sleek, contemporary feel. They were able to accommodate me and my friend without a reservation on a busy dinner night, which I really appreciated. Service was excellent. Everyone was sweet, attentive, and welcoming, and the complimentary welcome bubbles were a nice touch. The short rib dip was good, though not especially memorable. The udon carbonara with chicken katsu was the standout for me, and my colleague's salmon was also solid. Overall, I'd definitely come back. It may not be life-changing food, but it's a reliable, polished spot with good vibes, decent drinks, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere for lunch or dinner indoors or outdoors.

Delicious! And an accident haha. My friends and I were looking for a Thai place and this popped up. Being who we are, we went without scoping the menu and to our surprise this is not a Thai place hahaha. The beautiful space drew us in so we ventured into something new. So glad we did because the food and service was awesome. The menu is expansive and everything we had was delicious! Definitely would come again :)

Stopped by for an evening meal's n the outside patio. Ordered a Red Sangria that was exceptional for a pre-meal cocktail. Up next was the Katsu Chicken salad that will rock your world and taste buds. So much flavor packed onto one plate it's a culinary wonder of the world. Everything bite simply delivered an abundance of flavors and happiness. Katsu chicken portion of salad was breaded perfectly and thinly sliced so it won't over power the salad itself. Ok, now the downer of my meal. The steak was supposed to be cooked medium and it wasn't. Not a real quality tasting steak and the shrimp was nasty so after eating once piece I piled to the side for non consumption. I prayed I would not get ill and die from eating nasty shrimp. Yes I avoided the death penalty phase of my meal and survived to write my tail. Now minor complaint was no salt & pepper on table. No steak sauce offered so should I have wanted to drown out the low quality of steak taste with some A1 sauce I could have. Service exceeded expectations and server was very charming. The quality of steak was not his fault. I'd come back for salad any day but would avoid steak at all costs..

Yellow Fin Tuna Salad
George D.

We had an excellent dinner at Joey Burrad tonight. The only draw back was that our Gyoza appetizer arrived at the same time as our main courses but that was minor. I had the lobster spaghetti. I don't generally order white sauce but this sauce was light and well flavored. My wife had the yellow fin tuna salad which was also excellent. The star of the meal was the dessert. We split the individual baked apple pie with maple ice cream. Wow. It was absolutely perfect I can't say enough about the outstanding service. Just fantastic. If we're ever in Vancouver we will be sure to return

Hummus
Steve A.

I really enjoy the diverse menu at Joey. There's something for everyone. There's another Joey just a few blocks down Burrard. I like the ambience of that one slightly more, but otherwise they are very similar. Service at both is excellent. Appreciate the complementary sparkling wine at check in. This time we had the Gyoza and the Hummus as starters. Both were good. I'd definitely have the hummus again. It was served with tzatziki, olives, currants, and lots of crispy fried pita. The Farmer's Salad was wonderful. A great mix of fruit, lettuce, veggies, and champagne vinaigrette. The Chili chicken was okay. I loved the crisp wontons, but the chicken could have been a lot spicier. Nice wine list, especially by the bottle.

Blackened chicken, potato salad, mashed potatoes.
Bailey N.

I don't give out very many 5-star reviews, but this was very, VERY close. I literally went to a high dollar steak and seafood joint the night before (just a block over) and this place blew that place out of the water. Service was a little slow; we waited a tad too long before our server came over after sitting, and it took a tad too long to get checked out. The spotty service is the only reason it's not a 5-star review. What a wonderful alfresco dining joint. We opted to sit outside; it was a tad cool, but it turned out great! I had the blackened chicken, which was one of the moistest, most flavorful chicken dishes I've ever had. The potato salad was different than what I'm used to, but excellent nonetheless. Same for the mashed potatoes. My wife had the cod, which I took a few bites of and can confirm ...that, too, was better than the fish she had at the high dollar joint the previous night. Flavorful and moist. Just glistening. We only have two more nights in town...and I'll be hard pressed to not go back before we leave.

Seared Salmon Sushi

We wanted sushi in Vancouver and this place delivered. They even offered us a complimentary glass of sparkling wine when we arrived. The patio was adorable and a perfect spot for lunch. I'll be dreaming about the Seared Salmon sushi for years to come.

steak frites
Leslie C.

This is a pretty mixed review. On the plus side the restaurant has a lovely ambiance with lots of outdoor tables with heaters. The service is also very good. They messed up our order but did their best to remedy the errors. The issue is that the food is really just ok. We had the steak frites. overall it was adequate but absolutely nothing special. I've had lots of better steak frites elsewhere. Overall it was ok. I doubt would go back. The free welcome sparkling wine was quite nice though.

Fish Tacos
Evan R.

The food was very good, there was a vast menu of different cuisines! The service was fast and the waiters and waitresses were very nice. It was actually quite cool there, cool as in both temperature and style. We sat inside but the outside seating looked very cozy as well as they had bug zappers with flames, just extra warmth. But in conclusion, it wasn't the most special.

Sangria
Michealea F.

Our server Izzy was welcoming and made sure that we had the steak cooked as requested. I had mine on medium well and there definitely is a difference from my friends' medium rare. I love the greens that comes with the steak frites. It's a great combination with the steak. The fries are crispy and quite evenly long. The only downside is the lack of good sauce to make it more memorable. I reserved the place for five and we had a good seating area although it was still a bit loud at some point. Overall, this is a great place offering good quality of food with great service and plenty of space to catch up with friends.

Tuna poke salad, crispy mash, fries, and crispy chicken bites
Cecilia M.

Was staying at the Sutton hotel and after our comedy show, decided to go Joey's for late night Happy Hour. We ordered a beer, fries, crispy chicken bites, tuna poke bowl, and crispy mash. The restaurant was really warm inside and we guzzled down our water quickly. Our food arrived in a decent time but our waters were not refilled until over half way through the meal. Food was solid, especially the crispy mash. Unfortunately, the crispy chicken bites were a bit soggy and the sauce was meh. We got a half order of the creme brulee cheesecake to go and it was quite good! Pro tip: There's affordable parking at 800 Burrard Street, same block as Joey's. Afternoon or Evening weekend rates are a flat $8, pretty great for prime DT shopping and restaurant area.

Udon with chicken katsu
Alyssa H.

We are here yesterday and were so happy we chose it. Our server (his name was Brent I think) was great! He went up and above. The food was epic! I had the udon with katsu chicken and I would order that every time. The atmosphere is great too but still very accommodating to our young children. 10/10! Go!

A nice Pinot

Very cool spirit lounge with a a unique decor and funky cocktails…read more A bit spooky from the outside and very mysterious on the inside. The menu has a lot of fantastic cocktails.

I was over it, but we put a name down and walked down to find a bar for a drink and bites. They sent us a notification 30 minutes earlier than quoted so we finished up at the bar, paid our tab and walked over. We were seated in the corner area that only had one other table neighbor. Our drinks were great. The presentation even more entertaining. None of us were particularly hungry, but the table decided to get the donuts. Let me just first mention that it was dark af in there. We got two orders so that two people could share one. I took two bites and knew something was off. My friend took a bite and immediately said it didn't taste right. The other side took a bite of theirs and said the same thing. One person decided to turn the flashlight on their phone and flashed it at both plates to see what exactly was wrong. Them donuts were burnt. Fully. We called our server over who confirmed they were in fact burnt and told us she would take them off the bill. It was a bummer to have this be the end of our first day in the city.

Everything on the HH menu is $5 3-6pm and all day Wednesday. We also got the meatball appetizer and the Baccala on toast. Bartender was friendly enough, gave some recommendations where to go for dinner. But then a very large party was being seated at the adjacent restaurant that the bar seems to also serve, and she got tied up pretty bad. We did see a couple come in and wait for a pretty long time and then just take off. And then the bar was closed for this private party at 7pm, and we had sort of planned on a nightcap after dinner in there. Fortunately we found PLENTY of awesome places to go after dinner so it was not an issue. While there during Happy Hour, the crowd was empty at first and the place filled up completely by the time we left. 30's and 40's crowd.

If you're looking for a comfortable,quiet, and cosy bar this is not the place for you. This is a place where Vancouverites get dressed up in their finest dark washed jeans. Am I being facetious - yes I am...but lets face it that's what passes for high fashion in this city. Celebrity sightings are not totally uncommon here, the servers are all friendly and quick to bring your drinks, and you're guaranteed plenty of beautiful people eye-candy. It's also a bar targeting a slightly more mature age group with their larger disposable income - so no annoying teeny boppers knocking back B-52's here and whoohooing it up. One shocking thing I discovered on my last visit to OPUS Bar, was that they aren't allowed to do "real" bottle service there. So if you order a bottle of Goose for the table, be prepared to have your server take it away and bring it back out only when requested or when glasses start to go empty - thankfully Champagne & Wine are exempt from this strange rule.

Note that I'm NOT a steak person at ALL but this place was perhaps the best steak that I've ever had so I had to get it. They are apparently ranked the 24th best steakhouse worldwide! My strip sirloin was PERFECT - never had a steak whose outside was done so perfectly - seared crispy with lots of flavour on the skin, almost crunchy, while the inside was moist and tender. Not chewy, not solid. Just so good. I actually liked it better than the piece of ribeye I tried, which I thought was a bit more stringy. The tartare appetizers we got were just superb as well. The beef and bison tartare were both unique, smooth and done well. I liked the bison as it has a bit more kick to it. I found the tuna tartare with avocado my favourite overall but I really really like the compote that came with the hamachi. The sides - especially the mushroom risotto - were all really really good too. Flavour with risotto was out of this world. The puréed potatoes were so smooth. The salad was only ok though. I also didn't care for the baked Alaska dessert but I tasted the creme beulee which was really good. This place is definitely reserved for special occasions and very pricey but the steaks are out of this world good and overall everything was excellent.
