The 24 Best Restaurants in Houston

"Executive chef Chris Mills and Matthew Stowe know what they're doing; the menu's influences are global, from Mediterranean hummus to Szechuan tofu and Japanese gyoza. There is something to please every globetrotter here, from truffle fries to sushi—and it is in this sense that JOEY's Uptown sets its tone apart from others. The menu features Italian pasta, including a steak and lobster ravioli. The execution—for all the varied dishes—is on point, and items like the roasted corn guacamole are a standout, as are the poke bowls. The large 8,434-square-foot restaurant interior is decidedly green, with plant accents, leather seating, and a living green ceiling. The patio features a retractable roof and is a stunning place to watch the weather change with a glass of wine." - Charu Suri, Diana Oates

A Canadian Eatery Called Joey Will Take Over the Galleria Space Vacated By Yauatcha - Eater Houston

"Stalwart Canadian casual eatery Joey, which opened its first location in Calgary nearly three decades ago, is headed to Houston. Joey Restaurants CEO Jeff Fuller confirmed the chain’s plans to expand to Texas (among other locales) to Canadian business news publication Biv on Wednesday. As for where it will end up? A tipster pointed Eater in the direction of construction permit applications filed in December that indicate that it will open in the Westheimer Road space that currently houses Yauatcha, the glitzy Galleria dim sum restaurant operated by the Hakkasan Group that’s set to close on February 16. For those who are unfamiliar with Joey, the chain currently operates more than two dozen locations across Canada and the United States, including outposts in Seattle and Los Angeles. The menus for other Joey locations span a variety of influence, from Mediterranean hummus to sushi to Baja chicken tacos and “Bollywood” butter chicken. No word yet on when Joey will make its Houston debut, but it’s apparently “close.” Stay tuned for more details on its arrival." - Amy McCarthy

Joey Uptown delivered an unforgettable first impression. From the moment my girlfriends and I arrived, we were treated like honored guests—welcomed with a glass of champagne and seated without delay. The atmosphere was chic yet inviting, the perfect backdrop for a celebratory night out. Our server, Sierra S., was the heart of our experience. Her attention to detail was extraordinary—she asked about allergies and dietary preferences with genuine concern, offered thoughtful menu suggestions, and ensured every moment of our evening was seamless. Her warmth and professionalism made us feel not just cared for, but truly valued. David, the manager, added another layer of excellence. His multiple check-ins weren’t intrusive—they were reassuring. Clearing dishes promptly and ensuring the flow of the evening stayed uninterrupted speaks to a leadership style that values both efficiency and guest satisfaction. Joey Uptown isn’t just a place to dine—it’s a place where your taste buds and culinary experience is elevated to greater heights.”

I visited for lunch on September 7th and Joey’s was 100% our favorite food stop during our Houston trip. While the vibe/ambiance during lunch time was a bit drab, think elevator music, I did enjoy the quiet and mix of people. Plus, you don’t notice any of that when your taste buds are exploding! Our server, Lacey/Laci was great, too! My favorite little touches were the complimentary drinks and the host bringing me a bag stand when he noticed me carrying a purse & umbrella. We will definitely be back!!

Place is great, super busy and big, has a beautiful expoused kitchen and everything looked good. Made a reservation and still had to wait with a little sparkling wine. Not bad, then we were sitted outdoor area, suppoused to be quiet, well not so much, we ask to be changed and they kindly did. We order appetizer was delicious. Main dish was good too but brocolini was raw, very under cooked, steak tastes very good, I ask for extra pepercorn sauce, they don't give you enough. That was the bad part they forgot about it, told the waitrer also forgot about it, so toke a while to get it food got cold, my husband complain and got someone's attention. They take it warmed up replated and the chef brought it back, very attentative.

Came to Joey Uptown for the first time and had a 1000/10 experience!!! Brought my mom for her birthday and they gave us the best most special treatment. I have no complaints. Everything was cooked to perfection. Meals, Service, Atmosphere 10/10. Our server Juan was very helpful, answered all our questions and made sure to check in. The manager David checked on us to ensure we had a great meal (which we did!). Amy especially treated us amazingly, with complimentary bottle and desserts for mom’s birthday. I’m so happy I chose Joey! They deserve 5 stars across the board. Amazing for a special occasion.

Bryce was our server, and he was by far one of the best I’ve encountered in customer service in a long time. His personality was phenomenal-welcoming, genuine, and down-to-earth. As it was my first visit, he took the time to recommend food and drink options, which we truly appreciated. We were celebrating our engagement, and the experience made it even more special. Our table was beautifully decorated with rose petals and a bottle of champagne! Such a thoughtful touch! Thank you, Bryce and Joey Uptown, for the exceptional service. We will absolutely be returning!

I celebrated my birthday with a large group of friends yesterday. The service was great even though they messed up some of our orders but they fixed it quickly. They even prepared a birthday card for me!! Super sweet 🥹 I’m glad I picked this place. We all had a great time. The buttermilk cake is torch!!!🔥 The birthday dessert was supposed to be a brownie but I don’t eat chocolate and they were willing to substitute it to cheesecake for me. I love that! The food and drinks are all great as well! I will definitely come back!

From the moment we walked in, our waitress made us feel completely welcome. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which set such a positive tone for the evening. Her timing was perfect—always there when we needed something, but never overbearing. She made sure every detail of our meal was just right, and her cheerful personality made the whole dining experience extra enjoyable. The food itself was excellent—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented—but the service truly made it stand out. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond to make guests feel so comfortable and taken care of. We left not only full and happy but already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend both the food and the outstanding service!

From the moment we walked into Joey Uptown, we knew we were in for an experience—not just a meal. The ambiance hits you right away: modern, elevated, and warm, with lighting that flatters every angle of the food and the people you came with. Service? On point. Our server was attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake, and knew the menu better than some chefs know their own kitchen. Now let’s get into the food. First off, the presentation is next level. Everything that came to the table looked like it was styled for a magazine shoot. The sushi roll was plated like artwork, and the crisp on that fried calamari? Golden perfection. The steak—juicy, perfectly medium rare—melted like butter with each bite, and came with a chimichurri so fresh I’d swear they had an herb garden in the back. Don’t even get me started on the cocktails. Balanced, creative, and strong enough to let you know they didn’t skimp on the pour. The spicy margarita had the right amount of kick, and the espresso martini could go toe-to-toe with any top cocktail bar in Houston. We ended with dessert, and honestly, if you go and skip dessert, you’ve played yourself. The warm butter cake with vanilla ice cream? Criminally good. Rich, soft in the center, and had that slightly crisp edge that makes it addictive. We scraped the plate clean. If you’re visiting Houston or live here and haven’t made your way to Joey Uptown, you’re doing yourself a disservice. It’s rare to find a spot where vibe, service, and flavor all show up at 100%. We’ll be back—and next time, we’re bringing more friends. Five stars. Easy.

I had the pleasure of being served by Jany at Joey Uptown, and she made the entire dining experience exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the restaurant and the food they serve, explaining the menu with confidence and helping us make the perfect selections. Her experience really showed -- every recommendation she gave was spot-on, and she answered all of our questions with ease. Beyond her knowledge, Jany had such a great attitude -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Her professionalism and positive energy turned a good meal into a great night out. If you visit Joey Uptown, I highly recommend asking for Jany. She's a true asset to the restaurant and made our visit one to remember.

Hands down one of my favorite places to splurge! Complimentary champagne upon arrival, floor to ceiling glass windows, sleek n chic decor - JOEY Uptown eminates class. The ambiance is incredible; this restaurant gives you a reason to show up and show out. I personally love coming here for special occasions and date nights. Needless to say, everything is aethetically pleasing, including the food. Against all odds, the food tastes as good as it looks (which is incredibly hard to come by nowadays). The menu has a wide variety of items with an emphasis on my 2 favorites: Italian and Asian cuisine. My all-time favorite dishes had to be the Scallop & Prawn Ceviche, Sake Glazed Chilean Sea Bass, and pretty much any sushi roll. All of my friends agreed that pretty much every dish we ordered was delicious, perfectly cooked to temp, and bursting with flavor. The only critque being that the Lobster Spaghetti could use more lobster for as expensive as it is. The service started off really well, as our server got us situated and took care of all our orders. (I forget her name but she was blonde) However, towards the halfway through dinner, she started to fizz out and not come to our table. I had to ask for wasabi 3 separate times. By the time it got to the table I'd finished 3/4 of my sushi roll already. We'd also spot her standing in the corner chatting with other servers whenever we'd need her. Overall, everything was a 10/10 aside from the service. Our party didn't appreciate her phazing out just because we were auto-gradded. Food: 10/10, Drinks: 10/10, Ambiance10/10. Hopefully the service was just a fluke, but I'd highly reccomend this to everyone.

Joey Uptown is beautiful. The decor is fresh and freeing and spacious. However, the flavors of the appetizers and entrees are pretty basic to me. Additionally, the things I actually wanted to try, food AND drink options, were either no longer menu items or they didn't have any left that day. (Which was a bit weird considering we arrived at noon and stayed until 3:00 p.m.) Boooooo. I opted to have the frozen lemonade and the seared salmon sushi. The frozen lemonade tasted as good as you can imagine. It was sweet and refreshing, but nothing out of the ordinary from common chain restaurant. The sushi was an osaka pressed, fire torched salimon with umami sauce, and shaved serrono peppers. It wasn't bad but it's not something I would ever order again. It was a dry taste with really mild flavors so it kind of felt like a waste of money. This is not to say I would never come back again. Our servers were polite and patient and the other ladies in my party loved their choices. I'll come back and just try something else!

The food was very good, service was great as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my quick "brunch" at my stop to the mall. The lemonade was very good. I loved the hibachi wings. I also had a Mediterranean Bowl, the best way to describe it is a fresher version of a cava bowl. The rice and arugula hit well. The hummus was so tasty. I wouldn't mind returning to try a few other items on the menu. I love an open view kitchen. I really wanted to just stand and watch them work.

My first experience with this franchise was in LA and it's clear the H-town location is the place to see and be seen. About a 2 hour wait on a Saturday night -we left and returned and were seated around 9:30-still hopping at this time. Same here as in LA-being greeted with a complimentary Bubbly (Cava?) was a nice touch. We started with cocktails-my Manhattan was tasty and a few from our party ordered draft beers and enjoyed them. I ordered the sake Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and it was scrumptious-cooked perfectly and delicious. Spaghetti Pomodoro, Steak Frites, Grilled Chicken Club and Burger were also enjoyed. Service was fun and attentive. Our Server took great care of us. Fun/lively atmosphere with tasty food-we will be back!

Recently visited for a friend's birthday. We were immediately greeted with complimentary champagne. Our server Justice was amazing and very attentive. We did have a small hiccup with my steak. I ordered medium, it came out well done. I was really impressed with the way they handled it though. Justice immediately took care of it and told their Manager, Abby. They remade it, and I didn't even wait for 10 mins and it was cooked perfectly. We had hummus, spicy crab dip, and the bang bang chicken for apps. They were amazing! Parking is not great though. It is the galleria so hard to find parking, but you can always valet for $12 I can't wait to come back!

Coming in I feel like you're instantly hit with an upscale dining, yet comfortable feel. The aesthetics of the restaurant are very nice, but it doesn't have the overbearing that some finer dining places may have. While waiting to be seated you're offered complimentary champagne, which is nice. The restaurant is situated at an interesting location, as it's at the Galleria, but not in the Galleria. It's its own building but on the Galleria lot, so you can pull up directly to Joey or walk from inside the mall and be in Joey's in a few steps. Before getting to my food, one of my only complaints was that it was a bit warm in the restaurant. It has large windows that provide a nice view of the area but where we were seated was too warm for my liking. The person I was with had been there before and they recommended the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps and they were really good for a shared appext. It had a nice sweet glaze that complimented the other flavors very well. Overall it had a nice subtle and refreshing taste. I had the Strawberry Cool for a drink, which I believe is essentially a mocktail, and it was cool. For my main dish I had these Steak and Ravioli Blanco. It's also available on the menu under starters and I consider getting it as an appetizer but I'm glad I stuck with it as a main. The dish was really good, and just like everything else I had, it felt lightweight. I would have liked it to have been a bit more decadent but I'm not mad at it. The steak was cooked very well and so was everything else in the dish. I had some of my friend's steak frites meal, and I would possibly say it was more flavorful than what I had, but I enjoyed my meal better. Overall I would say that the food here is very good. Nothing I had made me particularly wowed me where I felt like I just have to come back here but also nothing was bad to make me not want to come back. The whole staff was pleasant and helpful. If I come here again I would like to try something new on their menu because they do have a wide variety of different items.

This is my second visit to JOEY Uptown. On the first visit, I was with family celebrating a birthday. The food was surprisingly good, when I expected a version of upscale bland. Today, I've ordered the Katsu Chicken Salad. For reference, today I'm a party of 1 and starving after having fasted for annual bloodwork. I was seated promptly in the bar area at a relatively quiet bar top table. Upon arrival, I was offered sparkling wine Alana came over to check on me, provided my choice of water and took my order. Food arrived relatively quickly (which was a major win because remember I've been fasting). It was good! Nice solid, fresh salad lots of spice. The only downfall of JOEY is the small European water glasses. We're in Texas. Please bring me a regular people glass of water and let me be great and healthy. And I hope JOEY joins the inKind family!

A friend and I ate here on a Friday. We parked in the parking garage next to the restaurant. We had a 8pm reservation, but still found ourselves waiting 30 plus minutes to be seated. The entrance is small and had several patrons waiting to be seated. Some guests were given champagne for their wait. The restaurant is dark and sultry at night. Once seated the waiter was kind and knowledgeable. The food presentation was visually pleasing along with the taste. Everything we chose was delicious and hard to pick a favorite. The price point is kind of expensive, but worth every penny. For a girls night out or date night, I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

I've head all the great things that there is to hear about Joey Uptown. My first time coming was for my birthday back in November because they have a few of my all time favorite things. Espresso martini, steak frites, truffle parmesan fries! How can you go wrong with either of those combos! My first experience here was just ok. I feel that it was a little too hyped up for me, and that service-wise and food-wise, that I had had better. The espresso martini was good for me the first go round, but nothing that had me like WOW! And the steak frites was the same. The steak was just ok, and the parm on the fries felt like it was pre-shredded, not fresh, and didn't really add any value to the plate itself. All in all, my first trip here was probably a 3 out of 5. But!!! I came back for Mother's Day. I was a bit hesitant, if I'm being honest, but I am glad that I did! I didn't drink on this day, but I ordered dessert first, the molten cake, which was delictable. The chocolate cake was warm, and the chocolate oozed out and went great with the vanilla ice cream! The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned nicely this go round also, and the fries a lot better (more fresh)! The service was phenomenal. We had an excellent server who took wonderful care of us throughout our whole visit. He made sure our drinks were always filled, that plates were cleared from the table, and to ensure we had everything we needed. It was a great way to represent the service I know this place has to offer, which is why I believe everyone likes it so much here!

Cole was extremely professional and the food was great! Everything came out fast and wonderful. Cole did a great job serving and communicating the items that were available and connecting with us with great recommendations. I came here to celebrate my birthday with my friend who I have not seen in years. We walked in and had such a great experience the entire time from start to finish. The manager David as well assured the meals and drinks were prepared to our liking. I absolutely would recommend coming in and trying some of the items. The fresh plants everywhere make the space so beautiful and earthy.

Loved this place definitely going back. The steak and ravioli was the best. Do be warned that these were tequila espresso martinis and they were $30 each

A great date choice! We went the Saturday before Mother's Day and just like any other day it was packed. When we arrived, valet was full, so we luckily found a park in the adjacent open lot and it was $12 to park. We were greeted immediately and offered champagne. We were seated shortly after our reservation time. The service was great, our server was attentive, made great suggestions and was very personable. We had the crab dip as an appetizer and it was pretty good, probably wouldn't order it again. The blackened chicken was good and lot of flavor. The star of the meal was the chocolate soufflé. It was light paired well with the ice cream and raspberry sauce. Over all everything is good but I would try different dishes next time.

I had an amazing lunch at Joey Uptown. The ambiance is amazing during the day, beautiful lighting and windows and for how big it is it never was too loud. We started off with the ceviche which in my opinion was just okay. It was beautifully plated but not something I would order again. The udon carbonara was SO good. I'm still thinking about that dish and recommending to everyone. It was very rich and so delicious. I also tried a bite of the steak and ravioli and that dish also did not disappoint. I've heard the lettuce wraps are really good so I hope to go back and try those soon. I loved the espresso martini with vanilla added and the butter cake was a lovely ending to a great meal.

Almost a five star experience except a few things. We had dinner reservations at 7:30 and didn't get seated until closer to 8. That was a bit disappointing. We ordered the blackened chicken with no pork and it came out with pork in it. The waitress offered to make a fully new one, which she did. But it took much longer than when the food first came out and she didn't offer any comp for it. That was disappointing. Other than that the vibes were amazing! Food was really good as well. 5/5 on all the food! Overall, I would go there again!

You walk in. "Would you like a complimentary glass of champagne?" Um, yes please! So friendly from the moment you walk in! The place is huge and very nice. The staff is sleekly dressed and super attentive. They don't miss a beat. Not a long wait at all! I got the JOEY cheeseburger. It's a smash burger with two patties, cheese, fresh shredded lettuces, tomatoes, onions. It was delicious. Comes with a side of fries. I think there's a choice of side. Can't remember what the others were but the fries were good! Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. The appetizers were good too. The spicy crab dip was certainly spicy and delicious. The wings were good too!

Hailing from Canada, JOEY is one of the upscale chain restaurants in the Galleria area, alongside places like Nobu, Oceanaire and others. Despite a few dozen locations across Canada and United States, many will not have heard of this restaurant group and that is a bummer as JOEY is quite excellent. The complimentary welcome drink with a cava from Sigura Veudas is a unique touch. One does not really see that outside of Michelin restaurants or luxury hotels. There is a spacious waiting area behind the host stand giving ample space to sit down, enjoy the drink and watch the kitchen while a table is prepared. When it comes to the menu, the best way to describe it is "eclectic." Intense fusions of world cuisines result in menu items like Ravioli served with steak or sushi. It's interesting without doubt, but what's even more surprising is that the fusions crafted here actually work and are very tasty. The steak on top of the ravioli was tender and flavorful, together combining into a very filling portion. More classic items like salmon with fresh peas and sprouts are also spectacular. Thus, a very enjoyable meal is easy to have here. Our waitress was pleasant and all staff appeared very efficient. There did not seem to be a dress code here as everyone dressed in their own style, so it is best described as a trend driven mixture of casual or club like attire, while some business folks show up in suits. JOEY is a great addition to the Galleria area and a true pleasure to visit.

Joey Uptown was a really cool vibe! I was invited here for happy hour. After a long week, it was much needed! We really enjoyed our dining experience. I ordered the hummus and pita chips and the seared salmon sushi. Both very good choices from their hh menu. Our waiter made sure we were taken care of. When you arrive, the host/hostess offers a glass of champagne. Very nice welcome in! I will return.

I stopped in for happy hour at JOEY and the food was good! It was happy hour so I ordered the margarita and guacamole combo along with chicken lettuce wraps. The food and drink were really tasty and flavorful. I sat at the bar and it was a bit fussy. Although the bartender was cordial, he seemed more interested in socializing with other patrons than taking my order. The restaurant was beautiful and I would definitely return in the future. I will likely just sit at a table for a better experience.

I had the pleasure of dining at this nice spot for late lunch. They greeted you w l complimentary glass of champagne for their HH which I thought was nice. I was solo and still had a short 5 In wait. I was going to hit the bar which was open but opted for a table given the short wait and I wasn't in the social mood. Bar wasn't full but occupied w people dressed in suits to smart casual attire. The ordered the grilled chicken club and the waiter recommended I get it blackened as that's how he orders it, gives more flavor. It was delicious. Also had truffle fries they were good. All in all of you are in Houston at the galleria check his place out.

Joey Uptown is my favorite spot for Chicken Parmesan! It may not be what they are known for but if you go here you need to try their Chicken Parmesan especially if you like pasta and cheese. Their best appetizer is the chicken lettuce wraps & their carpaccio! So yummy definitely worth trying What we ordered : Chicken Parmesan 10/10 Lettuce wraps 10/10 Carpaccio 9/10 Wings 6/10 dry rub so not saucy, I prefer sauce so I ordered a side of the lettuce wrap chicken sauce

Service is first rate. They hand you a glass of champagne when you walk in the door. (Nice touch) Remington was our server, and he was fast, friendly, and very helpful. The atmosphere is "Instagram worthy", modern, classy, and full of very nicely dressed, attractive people. The food is top notch, well presented, and nicely seasoned. The overall experience is a solid 4.5 stars. Perfect date night restaurant.

Checked in at the hostess stand around 5:40.. for reservations for 6p and was given a complementary drink. I let her know that I'll take a bar seat if possible instead of taking space at a table, she acknowledged me told me to wait behind her for a seat and that she will let me know.. 6:21 rolls around and I get up to ask how much longer. She let me know that they are still waiting for seating at the bar i let her know that I'll take a table b/c it's been awhile .. 6:34 rolls around and i finally have a seat by the patio door that constantly opens.. it's now 6:52 and i have yet to meet my server, she came over a moment later When i finally got to see someone and order the food comes out and I'm not expecting a lot of food but enough food especially for the price. The food was warm, the broccolini was hard the drinks weren't strong and they all came in short glasses for 15 + dollars.. There was a mix up with the steak and lobster.. which the lobster is separate.. and it dosent say that smh so I ended up paying extra for it when the steak meal *pictured* was already 63. In the end two drinks later and my food I ended up paying 164.00, parking was 12.00 and 13.00 because I used a card and I also added a 3 dollar tip. Overall this experience was 0 out of 10..

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and my mom's retirement, and everything about it was perfect! The decor was so cute and the vibes were on point - they even greeted us with champagne at the door. I had an espresso martini with the screwball peanut butter whiskey which was so yummy and creamy! Then, we had the mini French dips and gyoza to start - both were delicious and I especially loved that the spicy mustard on the gyoza had a little kick of wasabi. For my main, I had the lobster spaghetti which was creamy and delicious. Then dessert was the real highlight - the crème brûlée cheesecake and butter cake were to die for! The crème brûlée cheesecake was so decadent and the butter cake was perfect in every way. My only complaint about the crème brûlée cheesecake was that the mango marmalade it came with was a bit too tart in my opinion. But, it was easy to avoid if you don't love it! Overall 10/10 experience. The ambiance and service were awesome, and we can't wait to come back in the future!

Waited a good 20 mins to be seated and another half hr at the table for no one to show up. Used to be a regular here, but it's clearly gone down hill. Customer service went from a 10 about a year ago to a zero... Too bad.

Chose Joey Uptown at the Galleria in Houston to meet up with a friend I haven't seen in about 15 years! It was the perfect spot to reconnect, enjoy a meal, and plan for the future. Upon arrival, just as other Joey locations, we are greeted by a kind host who offers a complimentary flute of champagne. I opted in, and was generously seated at a booth. The ambiance is upscale with a casual twist. A nice place to dress up, or visit in athleisure for brunch, as I have done both in the past. We ordered salad and tacos, and were not disappointed. As a very sweet touch, our waitress gifted us with a complimentary desert, to celebrate our birthdays and reconnection. Very thoughtful, and speaks to their attentiveness! I always look forward to Joey and of course will not hesitate to revisit, especially since it is conveniently located in the heart of the shopping and restaurant area!!

Visited Joey Uptown for the first time last week (1/16/25). The ambiance is fantastic and the hours are great for those that are looking for a nice place to eat after 10pm. The waiter (Juan) was extremely patient and professional. Unfortunately that is where the highlights concluded. While the presentation of the ribeye was fantastic, the flavor profile was lacking and the meat was tough. Not what I expected from a $96 steak. The Tomahawk Steak @ Carrabba's cost the same and runs circles around Joey's ribeye. Adding insult to injury the Press Sushi provided some of the worst food poisoning I've ever experienced. I lost nearly 8lbs of body weight in less than 24hrs and spent the majority of the day heaving my guts out. Before writing this review I called the restaurant trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. After 3 attempts I was directed to a manager whom took my information down to file an incident report. She was kind and professional following Joey's restaurant policy to the letter. Unfortunately there policy is essentially an apology but we hope you come back. I did mention that I told my coworkers and neighbors I had food poisoning but left Joey Uptown's name out of it bc I wanted to give the restaurant the opportunity to make it right. After spending nearly $300 for 2 people & $40 @ the valet I was not offered any compensation for the Press Sushi and was not offered any incentive to return. I understand that mistakes happen but when a customer gets sick enough to contemplate going to the hospital an apology isn't going to cut it. This review is a result of the owner hiding behind managment to avoid any type of negative backlash. My neighbors are all working professionals. Several of these companies use restaurants like Joey Uptown to conduct cooperate events and catering. I'm afraid I cannot recommend Joey Uptown after this horrendous outcome. Proceed with caution and be wary of the sushi.

I love coming to Joey's uptown! Every time I come in it's definitely a vibe. The service is excellent. The food is so amazing and so so tasty! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the vibes are honesty immaculate. My server/bartender was Billie this time around and she was super sweet, super bubbly and definitely made me feel right at home as soon as I sat down. I honestly love Joey uptown and will always make an effort to stop by when I'm on this side of town. it's such a great spot whether you're celebrating a special occasion or you just wanna come in for dinner or happy hour (no matter the occasion) it's definitely one of the better restaurants in Houston for sure!

Joey's is a staple of Houston ATP. The food, vibes, the ambiance, the location all hit. Great food every time. My favorite and go to is the Chicken Lettuce wraps. I could eat these everyday for the rest of my life. I typically take people from out of town here because we can hit the mall as well. Love it here. Definitely recommend.

Been here quite a few times now and they've been just good every time except once where we had a fairly large party reservation and while waiting there was another fairly large party with the same exact amount of people and under the same name so the hosts got both parties confused. The other party ended up getting seated before us and we complained so they fixed it but of course the other party was upset and giving us a rude side eye every which way. Anywho. You get a complimentary champagne glass. Too bad you can't have more than one especially if you're waiting for a table for awhile... The hosts are a little snobby on that. Food is fairly good. Best truffle Parmesan fries and entree is the steak and ravioli blanco with shrimp. There's also a combo with a sushi roll that is really yummy. Ambiance is great. Cocktails are good. It's a nice place to go every once in awhile. They have valet outside but it's super busy all the time. If you come here for a birthday, they really make it special with the dessert. Overall a good place to try if you've never been and to come back to the other things on their menu.

Had never been to Joey Uptown before but I heard it was a nice place for a birthday dinner so I decided to have mine there. I love that they offer complimentary champagne upon arrival. I also love that the menu options allow something for everyone to enjoy. I ordered the ravioli bianco. I also tried one of the hibachi wings that my friend ordered. Both were good. Everyone liked their food. I was also given a complimentary brownie for my birthday. It was just okay but it's nice that they do offer something special for birthdays. Service was okay but a little slow. We were not asked if we wanted another drink until we were just about ready to leave. Overall though, I was pleased with the experience and look forward to going back to Joey again in the future.

Joey never disappoints, I've gone to multiple locations and this was just as good as the others. With bubbles upon arrival, and with reservations, expecting to be seated quickly. This location is perfect for date night, they have a tvs at the bar so you won't miss out on any games. Server was great and attentive. Celebrating as newlyweds, they treated us with dessert. The sea bass was delicious, typically I go for NY strip but wasn't disappointed by the filet. I'll be back to visit one of the locations soon.

Had a large group dinner here and everyone found something they liked!! Loved the champagne greeting as we walked in, and our waitress was fantastic at ensuring we all had anything we needed. Only thing I don't love is the parking situation but we made it work.

This definitely was underwhelming for our whole group. Went for a Sunday brunch. I found out later, the front girls gave complimentary drinks upon check in at the front but it seemed half our party wasn't even told about it. The service was non existent here, we kept having to flag down our waitress multiple times and she got orders wrong. The servers seemed to cater to a certain clientele here and was noticeable. I got the steak and ravioli and steak was so chewy and for price point, wasn't cooked to the expectation. The sauce I would say was really good. You can either valet or park in the galleria parking garage and walk over (but be wary if it's raining you'll be soaked trying to walk back to the garage without an umbrella). Overall, none of the people in a party of five said they'd go back, especially the kind of service we got, mediocre food and dealing with the Galleria parking/traffic. There's just way better options in the area.

Always leave here with a full and happy belly. The last few times we went in Kevin was my server and he does not disappoint! Remembers me every time I come in and always makes a point to remember the small things! My top orders are the chicken lettuce wraps, hummus and crab dip. My kids will double down on the chicken lettuce wraps but also enjoy the steak dip sandwich!

Me and some friends came to visit this place and as soon as we walked in, they handed us a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, which was obviously my favorite moment...until we got to the food, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly, it all tasted great. The service was fantastic, we also received complimentary dessert wine, which was delicious as well. The ambiance was very intimate and beautiful, would absolutely recommend going.
