JOEY University Village

First time visiting this place, was welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne. Our server, Daniel, was friendly and provided great service throughout. I tried the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which were full of flavor, and the blackened chicken, which was perfectly cooked. The food was amazing, and the ambiance was chic, making it an ideal spot for a date night. I'm thrilled to have finally found such a great place to eat in Seattle and will definitely be back!

We love eating at JOEY University Village. We tried it several times and we were satisfied each time. The food is delicious. We loved everything we tried, but specially the "Steak & Sushi" and the Salmon. My favorite is the Steak & Sushi combination which let you try both at the same time. The staff are very friendly, professional and helpful. The atmosphere is nice and they sometimes serve free champagne at the entrance. The restaurant is a bit pricy but we think it is worth it. Also, some meals are on the smaller side, so make sure you order enough :)

I love this place!! Brought my friend for her birthday, and the staff did not disappoint. They were friendly, helpful, and we will be back again! Thank you so much Gizelle and Amara for the excellent service and we appreciate you!!

Great location, just sadly bay and our orders take a long time. And for some reason i have to ask my order. My salad and bread toast was seems like forgotten. but it’s okay. Also we never get offer a complimentary drink this time. Probably was busy.

Today was my first time coming in and thanks to Trista's amazing service, I'll be back soon. It's refreshing to meet a server who goes out of their way for the patrons. Thank you, Trista! Oh also, the food just happened to be absolutely stellar!

I got the appetizer sized version of the crab cakes and it was extremely strange. The crab cakes were overly creamy with corn inside and some kind of pesto and tasted nothing like traditional crab cakes. The flavors were odd and unappealing. However, the service was incredible and my waitress was extremely attentive.

One can not go wrong. Food is awesome! Service is great. Drinks are strong. Absolutely get the Cauliflower app. The lettuce wraps and one of the best dishes is the Steak and sushi.

Manny Osuoha, and Hannah Molnar, may have been the best bartenders/ team I have ever seen, they were very efficient, and quick to build there cocktails, and support the bar perfectly, all my needs were met. They made great recommendations, for food drinks and places to visit in my short time In Seattle. They made great conversation, connected with my father and I. We loved them, we will definitely be coming back, when we leave Vancouver and come to Seattle joeys village will be our number 1 visit when we return. Loved our time they will make us come back. Thank you so much you 2 we had a blast!

We're back - this time for Valentine's Day! The ambiance was great and they offered cheesecake samples and champagne on entry. It was expectedly busy. We made a reservation for 5:15pm and arrived a minute or two early to check-in. We ended up having to wait about 15 minutes for our table which was odd considering many couples who arrived after us were seated before us. I eventually asked when we would be seated - we were then seated immediately and offered a free appetizer for the trouble. Not necessary as I understand there can be mix-ups, but the gesture was appreciated! We got the French Dip sliders and they were excellent. Good base layer of butter + horseradish. The au jus gravy was good, too. For mains we got the salmon and the steak + vegetables. Both were perfect. Well cooked and the accompaniments worked well with the dishes. The crispy potatoes with the steak were unique - extremely crunchy and tasty almost like an egg roll. We got a few drinks (Mai tai, Moscow mule, and supernova vodka soda). They were somewhat pricey but all tasted good. The service was excellent too. We always enjoy coming to Joey and will be back soon.

I had lunch with two dining partners at Joey recently. It was a busy shopping day, so we were pleased to be seated rather quickly when we arrived at noon. We were seated by the bar, and were subjected to two large displays tuned into two different shows/games/movies. Thankfully, the sound was off. The music in the restaurant, however, was on. It wasn't so deafening that we couldn't hold a conversation, but it was distracting. The drinks menu was extensive, but we came for a quick lunch, so we didn't order from it. The menu itself was diverse, with plenty of traditional American fare and some Americanized versions of several popular cuisines (Mexican-ish, Asian-ish). The quality of the ingredients seemed to be pretty good, and there were options for people with different food allergies. All of that was good. The prices though, WOW. You could easily spend $30 for a run-of-the-mill main dish. For lunch. The three of us ordered less expensive options and our bill still came to $100. The food itself was fine, but nothing special. I would have rated this restaurant higher if the bill were half of what it came to, but it absolutely was not worth the prices they charge. Service was relatively rapid. Our waitress, a poor woman who had clearly had the corporate indoctrination lessons, managed a forced and unnatural smile every second of our interactions, quite a feat to do while talking. She mentioned how she would also be staying to work the New Year's Eve crowd, and might be there until 2:00. I felt sorry for her. Remember, this was around noon when we came in for lunch, so even if she got a break between shifts, that would be a very long day. Maybe that is why her smile was so forced. Restaurant was clean and had big windows. The toilets were clean, with individual rooms complete with toilet and sink, which I appreciate.

HOLIDAY SHOPPERS BEWARE I came in here and ordered a Chopin martini. I have been in here before. I came in here one year ago. Same experience. Except this time when I dropped the check that martin's were $30 each. I double checked just to make sure I hadn't gone insane. They were $15 a year ago. They are obviously banking on taking advantage of naive unsuspecting holiday shoppers. Disgraceful. I get a $15 cocktail. I can even stomach a $20 cocktail. But a $30 cocktail. You're out of your phuquing mind. It's a bistro for God's sake.

The food was really great. Our group ordered the steak frites, the larger steak plate, and fish tacos. The steak was delicious. The fish tacos were tasty and the potion sizes were perfect. The restaurant was full and it was kind of loud because most people were watching the game. Luckily, the service was good and the food was amazing. First time eating at this location and will definitely come back for more

Food was excellent. Large portions. The service was great and welcoming. The Ambiance was noisy as excepted.

We went here before going to the Husky game, when we walked in, there were so many Husky fans there, you would've thought that it was a tailgate party. Amazing vibe, amazing service and amazing food! (Oh yeah and very clean bathrooms, then again, Joey never disappoints).

JOEY's is a very nice sports bar in U Village. It is a good idea to get a reservation because it gets crowded. It is a great spot to watch sports games (although while we were there, the TVs were all on the same game). To start, they have a great drink menu. I just had a draft beer (where selection was great), but the people who had mixed drinks really enjoyed them. They have a great, upscale bar menu. We had the hummus and French fries to start. The hummus came with Tszaki was very nice and we loved the fried pita bread. The fries were good also. For the main course, I had the crab cakes. They tasted really good, although I was not a fan of the tartar sauce. People really loved the burgers and the fish tacos, everyone was really happy with the food. Joey is definitely worth visiting and we will be back.

The food is very tasty but the service is usually very rushed and a bit pretentious. I have been to this location several times in the last few weeks and each time the the waitresses are subpar. The waitresses have failed to recognize when people are having important conversations and instead the wait staff perpetually and abruptly interrupts the conversation to push for more food or drinks to be ordered. I get it "you want to increase revenue and your tip". The bathrooms are absolutely filthy. Not my favorite spot in the UVillage.

Love Joey's happy hour food. The place is really dim LOL and the service was pretty good. It was easy to get a booth for 2 people on a Monday night. My favorite food here is the hand rolls- it's a great appetizer. They don't give out free champs anymore LOL.

The service was good...but very disappointed that they seated my family at a table where we continually got pummeled by several drops of rain every few seconds from a roof leak they were aware of. This went on for almost an hour. Additionally, my daughter ordered the pasta and I told the waitress that she could not eat it because it was so spicy and she took it away. Of course, it was still on the bill when I went to pay. The least she could of done was remove it after I got more wet eating inside the restaurant then I did walking around U-Village in the rain with my umbrella.

Huge fan of the Joey franchise. I have visited restaurants in California and also WA and they never fail to impress me. Visited the University Village location recently for lunch with a friend. Was immediately welcomed by the hostess and given a complilmentary champagne flute! I am a creature of habit so I almost always order the Hummus and Tzatziki plate, dont judge me its a 10/10 everytime! For cocktails my friend had an IPA but I ordered the Supersonic Gin & Tonic. WOW what a drink! Best G&T ever! Served in a big ol goblet! Our server Brittany was super friendly and attentive! Great job!

Amanda was the BEST! She was very attentive and regularly checked in. She did a fantastic job at bringing refills and managed our table smoothly. She was very friendly and conversational!

Came here for drinks after work and they did not disappoint. Being handed a complimentary glass of champagne as I come in was a lovely little surprise. And their classic margarita was made to perfection. We just had a few appetizers to share that were delicious.

Came here for a special occasion - loved it! Makayla and RJ made it so fun with top notch service! Good drinks, good food. Most importantly - the atmosphere is amazing. What can I say? The music is vibing and the bar area is spotless (I am neat freak so it was appreciated).

We went to Joey's today for lunch, and overall, it was not a good experience at this location. The only good part of the experience was the complimentary champagne. The service was not good, and they charged us wrong for our order. We order a peach Bellini and a pale ale for drinks. The peach Bellini was gross and tasted like straight sugar and a headache waiting to happen. However, the Pale Ale was good. For food, we ordered one spaghetti pomodoro and garlic bread. It was nothing special, and they never brought us our garlic bread. When we got the bill, they charged us for two spaghetti pomodoro and still added the garlic bread. They removed the garlic bread but not the additional spaghetti pomodoro. Overall, I am very disappointed with my experience at Joey's, and I would never go back to this location.

We usually go to Eureka! for dinner before the Huskies games. They had a wait so we popped over to Joey's kitchen and were happy to grab the last 2 seats at the bar. The bar seats are super comfortable - soft leather instead of cold metal! Audrey was quick to bring menus and waters and then took our beer and dinner orders. We both ordered a burger. Beer list is pretty scant, especially compared to Eureka! - I guess we were spoiled. But, a Mack & Jack's Amber and a Georgetown Manny's will suffice. The burgers were excellent! Crispy on the edges, with a bit of pink in the center. Yum!! I normally don't like skinny fries but these were really good. We were in the area again last night and decided to pop in and try some other items. We were so pleasantly surprised to be offered a glass of bubbly before being shown to our very comfortable booth. There are LOTS of TVs here so everyone can see whatever game is on. Would be a good place for brunch during football season to watch the east coast games before heading to the Huskies games. We ordered a couple of beers (nice that they have some N/A selections for dry January and designated drivers!). I had a Heineken 0.0 and he had a Manny's Pale. We shared the lobster and shrimp tacos and the seared salmon sushi roll. Both were excellent - very fresh ingredients and well presented. The tacos will definitely be my go-to appetizer! We may have a new pre-game venue!! Cheers!

Was pleasantly surprised, and the food was delicious. The servers are so nice, but it was just a little bit slow and getting us our food and our check, but they would always check in throughout. The atmosphere was really nice and the booths are very big so if you have large parties, it's perfect

First time visiting this place, was welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne. Our server, Daniel, was friendly and provided great service throughout. I tried the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which were full of flavor, and the blackened chicken, which was perfectly cooked. The food was amazing, and the ambiance was chic, making it an ideal spot for a date night. I'm thrilled to have finally found such a great place to eat in Seattle and will definitely be back!

Ambiance: 10/10. Service: 10/10. We tried drinks here, and they were refreshingly amazing. The food was just okay; we ordered the cauliflower starter and fries. They were generous enough to offer a complimentary glass of champagne, which was a nice touch. Overall, a great place for drinks and excellent service but a bit expensive!

Had a great lunch today with Daniel as our server. The service was awesome - and the food was also quite good. I appreciated that he accommodated me with a table that was great for me - but also a super helpful spot for my baby and stroller. I wanted to leave a top score for him on the 'share your experience' contest they have going on - but as I started the process with the QR code - it's obviously just another way for partner companies to gather information about customers - and we all know where that leads. Shame on you JOEY for putting your employees in that compromise. @Daniel - you are awesome and thank you for taking care of us. @JOEY - please don't make us choose between supporting good staff, like Daniel, and some corporate customer info mining scheme.

Groudhog Day at Joey last night. The wife dragged me here with five others in our party of 7. Server was friendly but still by committee and communication once again broke down. Entrees were delivered to the wrong people and two were wrong. One had to be taken back to the kitchen to be corrected. Servings are relatively small, prices are absurd for mediocrity at best. At least Joey remains consistent.

Misa, was very attentive and friendly. She had a great smile and accommodated our requests. The cauliflower appetizer was the best, so tasty. And the wings were a nice departure from heavily sauced wings. The french dip app was tasty but very small for the price. Good ambiance.

We visited UW and found Joey's Kitchen in the nice mall next to it and decided to have lunch there. The food was great with lot of choices. Restaurant is located in the same building as the parking structure so you can definitely avoid the rain (and Joey offers umbrella for you to use if you need to shop waiting waiting for the table to be ready) our server Daniel is great and believe it or not, his manager Giesele came by a few times to greet us and make sure our food is great. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting UW.

Three stars for location and nostalgia, two for ruining a good thing. We used to come here at least once a week however Joey has been slowly turning over their menu over the last five years. First they came for the nachos and ruined by upscaling them, then they became so inedible that they apparently removed them altogether. Then they changed the classic burger that was fantastic by changing it to some nasty aioli. Then they cut the sliders. The only standbys that remain are the ahi tuna club and the Cali chicken sandwich. Will probably be gone soon too. The prices are sky high and frankly I can find a better meal for cheaper elsewhere. I miss Joey circa 2019. RIP.

Thanks for the friendly service Alex! Joeys is always a good spot for lunch or HH. Fun music and energy around you. Hard not to feel young & hip!

They have the best margarita and burger! Our server, Amara, was on it and so fun! Highly recommend!

Our server Miles was the best server we've ever had. Food was great too. Great martini too

Food was very good. Service lacked warmth. Expensive. We didn't drink or have appetizers and it still ran well north of $100 for 3. Three TVs easily visible from our table all carried the same hockey game. Nobody seemed to be watching. Payment was on a device the server didn't want to release for inspection, tipping, or signature. Food yes, experience no.

The ambiance of the place is amazing. Since it's in university village, it was lit up with people all around but not crowded. The music was amazing. We ordered tofu bowl, pasta, gyoza and tuna poke. The food was amazing. The dessert was the best. We specifically liked the champagne and bought the entire bottle because it was perfect. The staff is very friendly and nice. It's a bit on the pricier side. If you are celebrating or wanting to have a fancy dinner, this is the place for you. Overall, I had a good experience.

Looking for an over priced restaurant to take a customer or your parents while they visit you at school. The Bellevue location has better vibes, service and drink pours. The food was fine for corporate food but nothing special.

Alex was an amazing waitperson. I love how she double checked our order and she was incredibly friendly.

This place has yet to disappoint. I always appreciate when food is plated in a creative way, with the right size, and bringing something delicious to your palate. Services always exemplary period it does help that they give you champagne. The moment you walk in, so you are in a better mood immediately. I also appreciated that the projected wait time was 45 minutes, yet we were seated within 30. Their food is fun, ecclectic,.creative and delicious!!! Definitely built for group dates, friends and food lovers. Check it out.

The ambience and service was amazing! The inside was very well decorated, especially the glass room in the back that we sat in. There was quite a few families waiting for a table but it flew by quick. Baja fish tacos: didn't think these were flavored enough. I did get my fish grilled instead of fried and I'm not sure if that was the reason. Plenty of guac on top but still didn't find the spices to be enough. Loved that it came with fries, almost was like fish and chips in a way!

Our server Zoe was very friendly. We loved our food. I got the delicious lettuce wraps. My mango mai tai was yummy. We forgot how much we enjoy Joeys. We will be back.

In Seattle making a record, and stumbled on JOEY U Village! A couple of my favorite spots in Seattle are no longer with us (Pomodoro on Eastlake and Meet the Moon in Leschi) so I've been looking for new Go-To's for my frequent trips to the Emerald City! Tavolata is a favorite, as is Ba Bar but I can Happily add JOEY to the list. EXCELLENT service, very tasty food (highlights included the Crab Cakes and Ravioli) and the vibe is super cool. I keep trying to figure out where the hell in Tukwila they put a location, but I digress! Will definitely be returning asap. Highly recommended.

Luke provided excellent service and recommended the crispy tofu bowl, which was amazing!

It was our first time at this Joey location today and we were unfortunately very disappointed with our visit. The host was very nice and even offered us complimentary champagne. It was happy hour so we ordered a peach bellini and a pale ale. The peach bellini was a slushy and all sugar. Not at all like a traditional bellini. I couldn't even finish half of it because it was so sweet. For food, we specifically said to our waiter that we would split one order of the spaghetti pomodoro. The pasta was okay, the noodles were overcooked and I wouldn't get this again - especially not for the price ($19 for a small bowl of below average pasta). We thought that our pasta was split between two bowls, however, we were charged for 2 orders of the pasta (which we never ordered). Very frustrating. We also ordered a side of garlic bread that never came out but appeared on our check. Our waitress had to go and "check" with the food runner/kitchen to see if we ever got the bread (why would we lie about that?) For service, the host and our waitress were both sweet. Our waitress just didn't get our order correct and unfortunately overcharged us for the bread we never got and an extra order of pasta we never asked for. Ambiance is cool in here. Modern and there's a lot of seating - would be a good place to watch a game. Drinks and food are pretty pricey here and I'd say not worth it. We sadly won't be coming back again after our experience today. Wish it was better than what it was.

Joeys was all an all a very Meh experience. Hit and miss service, and cold food. Although the presentation is on point, I do not see my self going back for merely that alone. On my first attempted order I received extremely burnt garlic toast, the second was slightly better but nothing noteworthy. The spicy spaghetti was presentable but nothing special, nor was the steak frittes. Besides a decent ambiance, and a decent looking dining area there was nothing special about our experience. Sorry to say Yelpers but Joeys wasn't my jam. On to the next xx

This place was really mediocre. The appetizers were good but the entrees definitely lacked flavor and uniqueness. The server was fast but I had to keep asking for stuff like a water refill, missing utensils, or more napkins. At the end I just gave up asking him for anything since I felt bad that I was too much trouble. I won't come back.

The food was incredible - the flavor, the presentation - all top notch. Alex, our server, was also great! She was super attentive and ensured everything in our meal was as we wanted. We'll definitely be back!

Great food, great ambiance, and Miles was a good server. I had the crispy tofu bowl and it was really good. I appreciated that they were good about allergies too.

Our first trip to Joey will be our last. The food was just okay for taste, but overpriced for the quality. I ordered the Joey Kitchen Steak to be prepared medium. It was delivered well-done. When I asked it to be corrected, I was *not* given the steak I had originally ordered, but a smaller 7 oz. steak that took over 30 minutes to be cooked and was served to me a full 20 minutes after my family was done eating their entire meals. While I acknowledge that I did take three modest slices out of the previous steak to see if there was any red, never in my experience have I sent food back only to I have the restaurant replace the improperly prepared original item with a food serving SMALLER than the original order. I raised this issue with the server who shrugged her shoulders and noted they didn't charge me for the smaller replacement steak which was literally listed on the receipt as a charge and credit while they still charged me for the larger steak. This is the worst meal experience I've had in decades. I never post restaurant reviews, but this experience was so profoundly surprising that I felt compelled to do so.

Came here for a birthday dinner and with my gals and my server Miles was the baddest bitch. He served for sure.

In a time when customer service has been hit or miss, it was ever more apparent when you receive wonderful customer service. Shout out to Luke at this location, for his clear communication, attentiveness, and general friendly and informative support. We had; Peach Bellini Supernova - Peach French dip sliders - 4 and were open face and yummy. Guacamole and cheese dip with chips Everything was yummy and Luke shared this location is the Joey test kitchen for items so you will have more new and interesting menu items at this location. Happy hour is 2-5pm and worth a nice pop in for drinks and light apps.

I was honestly disappointed with my experience at JOEY perhaps it was overhyped to me beforehand by all my coworkers, but it fell short of my expectations. We went for a team lunch and the ambiance of the restaurant was pretty lively. The restaurant is large and we got to sit in the booth section which was very comfortable. I liked the natural lighting in the restaurant and the ability to see outside. There wasn't many people there, but our server still rarely checked on us. The service was subpar for when I think of finer dining. The water glasses are also small, so you take a couple sips then it's gone and you have to wait a while before they're refilled. The food came out in a timely manner, but the portion sizes were meager as well. Impossible burger: the patty was insanely plain. It tasted like they just cooked it frozen out the bag and didn't even attempt to season it. I also thought it was funny that it was about the same size as the ramekin of fries that came on the side. The fries were thinner than I prefer, but not too greasy and were well salted with a nice crunch. My friend didn't finish his katsu salad as he felt the chicken was dry and wasn't a fan of the sauce. My other coworkers got different burgers and they said they were alright. In addition to my burger, I had a frozen lemonade which was refreshing! It wasn't overly watery or sweet, so much needed for a sunny day. I liked the tartness of the drink. I think that was the best order we placed, but I forgot to take a picture of that or my other coworkers' dishes. Though I don't think I would come back as the high price for the portion and taste do not equate to me. I left still feeling hungry...

Manny makes the Joey experience. While I have noticed the level of employees at Joey, Manny takes it to the next level. He is knowledgeable about the menu and makes you feel like you are his only customer and gives you his full attention.

Very large and popular spot! The waitstaff were very nice and helpful with our party. The menu is a bit odd, with single dishes of varying cuisines making it confusing on what to order, but could be nice for those who prefer specific cuisines. I decided to play it safe and order the Salmon which came with mashed potato and a small amount of accompanying vegetable. The salmon's texture was moist and flavorful. The mashed potato paired well with the sauce. I do wish they added more veggies to the dish considering the price of the plate.

Kirsten was a great server, was friendly and efficient. Thank you for being such a great addition to our night on such a busy day!

I remember Joey's being a lot tastier. The prices increased too so our family will not be returning. Service was good, but overpriced for what we got.
