Well, I had just moved back to Toronto, and had forgotten how much I hated the Dundas Square area, lol. Wow. It says a lot when the nicest place that I could find in the area was a Joey's. Anyway, I sat at the bar and had a calming beverage and ordered their fish tacos. The bartender was very welcoming. All the ingredients in the dish were good, but somehow the salad and the tacos did not taste that great... the ratios were all off, a bit too much gloop and really unharmonious. A shame, because they had everything to make this a good dish! But, it's a Joey's, so my expectations are low. The place was an oasis of calm compared to the cacophony of Yonge & Dundas Square outside, so they're still getting 4 stars out of me! read more

Joey is open till 1am during the weekdays and makes it a perfect spot for late-night bites. They also offer Happy Hour menu 9pm till closing. The space has a warm, stylish feel with multiple seating areas, including a lounge, bar, and private dining options. The menu is globally inspired, offering everything from shareable starters to mains, along with cocktails, wine, and a popular daily happy hour. This location is popular for its upbeat atmosphere and convenient downtown setting; which makes it perfect for meeting friends, grabbing a meal before a show, or relaxing after shopping at the Eaton Centre. We visited here late at night during the weekdays, but even though it wasn't busy, we had to wait longer than expected to be seated. The staff were friendly and apologetic about this. We ordered our drinks and shareable from the Happy Hour and enjoyed them. read more

Feels like it's been ages since I visited this location. Its prolly got one of the nicest locations in the city (right in the heart of downtown near Yonge and Dundas Square) Recently, my boss took me and another colleague here for a work lunch as a treat. Ordered the blackened chicken and it was quite good! The chicken was moist, the kale was dressed properly and the warm potato salad underneath was really tasty (the potatoes had crispy exterior like fries). Service was very attentive and it was a simple no frills type of lunch. I feel like JOEY's is one of those restos where there's something for everyone in terms of the menu. Very standard fare. read more

Overall: A // 5 stars Stopped by for a single drink with some friends where I got the Kalamansi Lychee Cooler, a fruit-forward cocktail on the Low-Alc section of the menu. Their cocktails are very fairly priced in my opinion, and I enjoyed the varied tropical notes coming through from the cocktail, from the lime leaf aroma to the distinct calamansi taste of the drink. The staff are kind and attentive, keeping separate tabs for each person without asking, and their menu is interesting enough where I would want to return.

Our first night in Toronto started with dinner at Joey Restaurant. With no reservations, our party of 4 was seated in less than 10mins. The place is modernly decorated and the vibe is chic. The food came out fast and tasting good. I recommend the ceviche to start. The other dishes were good,,, nothing wow. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Sure I will be back! read more

came here 2nd time. this time it was for corporate event. there were total 8 of us. we were all prepared (hungry). this place have great customer service and ambiance. everyone ordered different food, but I got to try: 1. cauliflower (cooked with korean sauce) it tastes great! but not sure if it's something i can eat a lot (bc the sauce is quite strong). others commented that the sauce could be lighter. 2. hot wings (i think thats the name) sour. nobody's favorite. 3. cod curry rice love it! curry sauce is perfect. it has balanced flavor. the dish also has nice crispiness (i think its rice crispy?)- making it crunchy texture. it comes with rice and snow peas. the snow peas do not pair well with the overall dish. it has 'raw' taste - better if it's cooked thoroughly. 4.lobster pasta soooo good! i was tempted to have 2nd lunch. but my tummy capacity is limited. lol overall, enjoy our lunch regardless of the few-minor-favorites. read more

So not impressed. They somehow screwed up our reservation leaving us waiting when we had plans to go to the theatre afterwards. Frustrating but we still made it. I found the food to be overpriced and mediocre. I am vegetarian, had cauliflower tacos -overpriced at 2 for 24$ not bad but I've had so so much better. My friend -gluten free vegan- had a tofu bowl which was essentially tofu rice and raw veggies. No dressing nothing-flavour was zilch. I think grabbing something in the food court would have been a lot more fun and a lot cheaper. Skip it especially if you have dietary needs! read more

Upon our arrival we were greeted with friendly staff willing to seat us quickly and even offered a complimentary glass of prosecco. Our server was knowledgeable and so helpful with the menu. The atmosphere is lovely for a Friday evening. Not too loud but lively with a nice crowd. The staff were kind and the service was quick. We enjoyed our appetizer of hibachi wings. We had steak and spaghetti and steak and ravioli. We also enjoyed the cocktail menu. It was rather expansive with plenty of choices. I enjoyed the low alcohol coconut smash. It was yummy. My husband had the smoked old fashioned and he loved it. read more

The staff here is excellent. From the host to the servers, the staff is very attentive. They make you feel like you are eating at a very high end restaurant (despite it being a Thursday lunch time). I was instantly impressed, and stayed impressed during my dining experience there. The food was OK to me however. Tacos were good, but the fries lacked some flavor. Despite all of this, the menu was vast and had many items to choose from. I think it is a great place to bring a small or large party, because there is a lot of seating for guests and items to order. read more

I had a late lunch today with my pal, Kelly, at JOEY Eaton Centre. I ordered what I always get there ... Chicken Parmesan (spaghetti pomodoro, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil). I got garlic bread with it this time ... it was okay but I wouldn't get it again. Kelly ordered Baka Fish Tacos (2 tacos, shrimp + cod, guacamole, valentinas and fries). She said it was good. Tristan was our server ... he was friendly and took good care of us. read more

September 27/2023: Birthday lunch with the Al. The restaurant was gracious enough to seat us immediately as we had a limited timeline. This was an awesome meal! The service was great. Our server (Annie M.) was very polite, efficient & got everything right the first time around. As for the food...fantastic. Blackened Chicken with warm potato salad ($30.00) combined with coleslaw. Just an absolutely superb meal & very filling. I've been to Joeys before but not this location. As a very nice addition...our server comped my Al a Baileys shot, great acknowledgment of our small occasion! Solid meal...definite do-over! read more

We enjoyed our first dinner in Toronto at JOEY Eaton Centre! We had the Spicy Szechuan Chicken lettuce wrap and the steak frites, both were delicious. The steak was excellent, perfectly cooked and delicious. There were a lot of lettuce for the wrap, since stuffing for the wrap was a little too salty to our taste, we used double wrap and it was perfect. The restaurant has a good vibe with contemporary music in the background. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Location tip: conveniently OUTSIDE the Eaton Centre (no mall access and we went up and down and finally found it outside!) right by the Yonge-Dundas Sq. read more

The place is in a fantastic location in the heart of Eaton. I would say portions are a bit on the small side, but the food is delicious. There is a huge bar in the center and plenty of seating in different areas that break the restaurant up into quick, dark, causal, business zones. Service was great with smiles and friendly faces to help make the dining experience more pleasant. Will come back. read more

This place offers an array of entrees ranging from sushi, steak, pasta, burgers, Mediterranean and more. It's a bit on the pricier side with every dish being at least $26, and portions can be on the smaller side. I tried the Mediterranean bowl and the poke bowl -- both were very flavorful!! Service was very friendly and the ambiance was bustling. read more

"Hey Joey C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams Tell me all the sights you're gonna see Tell me who you're gonna be" (Bon Jovi) We were walking through Toronto with our two Canadian friends looking for somewhere to stop for lunch when one joyfully exclaimed "oh, look, they have a Joey's here!!" Now I had never heard of Joey's before. Turns out my unfamiliarity with them is understandable because they have 23 locations across Canada, 3 in Los Angeles, 3 in Seattle, and one in Texas. Zippo in my neck of the woods. So we walked in, waited a short while for a table and sat down at a booth in the back. Our server Ferrin was a pure delight! Funny, professional, attentive and everything you want to have in a server. I ordered a Yellowfin Tuna Salad plate ($26.75) - a beauty of a dish with seven seared rare tuna slices, mango, peanuts, avocado, crispy wontons, cilantro and a ginger dressing. It was one of the best meals I had in Toronto. My wife ordered the Baja Fish Taco Plate ($20.50) with two tacos, prawns, wild cod, guacamole, and fries. Our two Canadian friends ordered the same and all three of them cleaned their plates. The only quibble we had was one of the taco plates came with luke warm fries, but Ferrin quickly got a replacement for our table. Joey was gorgeous inside and looks like a real cool place as a weekend and ballgame party destination. Maybe we'll have one out in New England some day. read more

Not bad - decent atmosphere, staff/service was decent. Got a steak and lobster with mashed potatoes in spring rolls casing fried! Was pretty good overall but nothing special at the same time. $61 for a small steak...6 oz but looked smaller after cooking and didn't exactly load up on the carbs and sides. I'd go again if someone else pays again! Decent enough place. read more

Servers were fine but food was worse than something you would get at a takeout restaurant. Especially for the price . Manager did her best to help with the fact that the wrong meal came out, and our bill came out with charges that were not ours. Go spend your money somewhere else . read more

For years Joey's was known for having pretty mid food, but after coming here for the first time in a long time I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived during happy hour for which they have a pretty decent menu, and we shared a few dishes including the steak frites, beef dip, chicken lettuce wraps, and apple pie. All of them were great, though my favourites were the lettuce wraps and apple pie. If you're in the area and feeling hungry, this is a very low risk choice for upscale bar food. read more

My friend and I stopped here on a Monday afternoon to check out their happy hour menu. Their happy hour menu is a decent size with both food and drink specials. Food & Drinks: My friend and I tried the single supers and the sangria on the happy hour drink menu. Both drinks were good and pretty standard I would say. For food, we shared the following: Truffle Fries - Pretty standard for truffle fries, but still pretty good! HH Yam Fries - Crispy & standard Korean Fried Cauliflower - This was my favorite of what we tried, and it was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend ordering. Sushi Cone - My friend ordered this and thought it was pretty good but does wish it was more than one. Service: We were seated right near the bar, so the bartenders and servers were always close by to check in on us. We were seated soon after arriving, and our server came by quickly to give us waters. The food came out as they were ready. Everyone we interacted with was pretty friendly and smiling. TL;DR - good happy hour menu with good service read more

Poor service we had a reservation for 8pm. It is now 930 we still have not gotten our food we ordered. When asked about our food we were told by the manager that it would be out in 5 minutes! Other patrons around us received their food , ate and were leaving and we still had not gotten our order! The staff was apologetic but I still would not recommend this place!!!! Horrible service! This is our first time to Canada from the US I'm extremely disappointed! Please do not go to Joeys!! read more

We came as a group and made reservations for 5:15 and had to wait over 20 minutes to get our table. It was quite loud and very dark in the restaurant. The server did bring refills for water quite often. Our food took a significant time to come however. We ordered Japanese gyoza, hot wings and sweet potato fries. The gyoza were decent, it was a little bit burnt however. The hot wings and sweet potato fries were disgustingly drenched with a lot of salt. You would've thought you can't go wrong with sweet potato fries but it was so salty. The hot wings were super salty and really sour. I didn't enjoy it at all. Overall I will not be coming back again. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped by Joeys as a last resort to eat out- we came here a few times before but it was always packed, so we were surprised that there were actually tables that were open. Once we were seated, we were given our menus. The waitress took a long time to get back to us- there was a point where we were waiting at least 25 minutes for a drink. We settled for the Chicken Parmesan and a few burger sliders. Honestly, the chicken parmesan was better than I was expecting- the chicken was breaded nicely and it was crispy all around, and I didn't really have any problem with the spaghetti. The sliders were a little dry; there was too much bread to the pint where that was the only thing that I was tasting. I also ordered a non-alcoholic drink (she pretty) and although it was good, it took 25-30 minutes for me to get my drink. The only reason that I gave this review a 3 star-rating was because at one point during our dinner, there was a man that came to our table- we were assuming he was a manager (considering the different coloured shirt he wore and he would go from table to table). He had come to our table and ask us how our food and drinks were, and before I could even answer he left the table, and went to the next table. It's not a serious problem, but it was disrespectful and inappropriate for that kind of treatment to occur in a restaurant. Overall good, food is a good 7/10, and would consider coming back again read more

Picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner. Made the reservation for a party of ten about a week before for 10:00pm. Showed up on time and was told to wait on the bench at the front entrance. Was offered a complimentary glass of champagne which was nice. The hosts were friendly but did not provide updates on my table. We were not sat at a table until a half-hour later than my reservation time and had to squeeze into a booth instead of the large table that was promised over the phone when making the reservation. Our server did not do regular table checks and we did not receive our first drinks until 11pm. The appetizers were delicious. We ordered the truffle parmesanfries, cauliflower, and Japanese gyoza. The parmesan fries were perfectly seasoned and the gyoza was flavourful and yummy. For main courses, I ordered the spaghetti pomodoro. The pasta was delicious and filling. My guest ordered the chicken Parmesan and found it too spicy to finish. Another guest ordered the sushi and did not receive any utensils or chopsticks to eat them with. He was forced to eat them with his hands! Again, our server did not do very many table checks and left the empty glasses on our table whenever she did come by. The bartender came over to refill drinks and cleared the glasses away which was nice. There was an 18% auto gratuity on our bills due to the party size. I was aware of this (and absolutely agree with auto gratuities for large parties) but I feel that our server took advantage of the auto gratuity and provided sub-par service in return. Overall, I really enjoyed the food but will not be returning to this Joey location. read more

Overall a good lunch in a relaxed setting. Started with hot wings, which had a nice flavor but arguably the smallest wings (maybe pigeon wings :-) ) I've ever seen.
