JOEY Kenaston

My boyfriend and I love Joeys! We have been multiple times now and the service is always fantastic. We have never had any problems.
The one time we came in for their deeelicious, key lime pie they did not have it, however the manager came out and gave us a gift card for us to return next time and receive the item at no charge.
I have no complaints about the food or service. We will continue to return!

This is another chain of restaurants much like Moxie’s or Earl’s. I prefer this one the least because of it’s sad menu and lack of creative dishes.
Ahi tuna club with fries: one look at the ahi tuna and I was skeptical. It was a bad gray color that made me think food poisoning. Upon cutting it, I did notice the pink meaty center that I’m used to. I could tell this is just a frozen patty because of its cut so I knew it wasn’t fresh. The onion ring and tomato relish didn’t work with the tuna. They didn’t compliment the main attraction. I will say on the upside, the bun was nice and soft.
The service is just a-​ok. They served a cool water with no ice so it tasted funny. I didn’t receive any refills either. Our waitress was nice enough and friendly but it doesn’t make up for the poor food and service.

When in doubt, this is the place. JOEY is the perfect place to go for a casual bite and some drinks. They have a really good selection of snacks on the menu, and I honestly can’t say I’ve ever had something that I really didn’t enjoy! A few of my favorites would be the shrimp lettuce wraps, ahi tuna tacos, and Szechuan edemame. Their new house salad is also amazing, with almonds, currents, feta, quinoa, and a dressing that is seriously out of this world.
Super Novas, Super Stoked, Super Sonic… All drink specials that force me to call a taxi on many occasions. Please be clear that that is not a complaint.
The atmosphere here is pretty lively, and service (although slightly odd, in that they use a «team service» model), is usually above average. One thing about JOEY is that they will go above and beyond to make sure that you leave happy; and as a patron, I think that is all you can ask for
Public Service Announcement: The tagliatelle alfredo will change your life.

Back again to meet a friend and now between the lack luster staff, and the so so-​so food it was not what we were was hoping for. Add to that the over priced drinks that seemed to have the bare minimum and more ice then I like. In the end will need a strong reason to return here.

Not sure why the lukewarm reviews. In any case, I’m not from the area. My fiancée was working in town for a few months so I visited. Joey Coquitlam is our usual date-​night stop so we tried this one.
They don’t normally take reservations but they made an exception for us because of the circumstances.
When we arrived, they took special note of our reservation, seated us immediately and made sure everything was to our satisfaction.
Our waitress was excellent. Quick, attentive and completely on the ball.
The food was as good as the other location we normally go to. It’s good to see the consistency in their quality controls. My fiancée had sushi and I had steak. Both were top-​notch.
I would definitely recommend this place. It’s certainly not cheap but if I wanted cheap, I’d go to McDonalds. :)

Good service & atmosphere. Food needs to catch up a bit.

I like how they call this place «premium casual dining.» It’s premium in its décor and prices but has that Moxie’s and Earl’s bar like feel which gives it that «casual» feel. The menu is very random as it offers Asian items like sushi, butter chicken and then things like burgers, steaks, sandwiches and salads. Nothing is specifically good as the menu tries to be all things to all people.
Ahi Tuna Tacos (11.99) for 4 appetizer sized tacos with a slice of seared rare in each taco along with coleslaw and wasabi aioli. yes, it’s a complete rip off for 4 really tiny pieces of seared tuna when sushi places offer up much larger portions of seared tuna for that price. I am not even sure why I’d even eat seared tuna at a place like this but it’s not overly greasy and is an okay «light» tasting appetizer.
The tandorori chicken flatbread (14.49) was a bit underwhelming and overpriced as there was barely any toppings on this small flatbread.
I don’t mind the salads here and the original hi-​rise burger ($ 12.49) is passable at that price. The fries are really crispy and well seasoned and the burger is ok. But really, if I wanted a salad or a burger, I’d probably have a few more places above Joey’s on my list. This is the type of place that’s good for late night eats or if you’re out with a group as it does offer a variety of items to eat and drink. The dining side is good if you want to have a conversation but the lounge side is much louder.

We have eaten many times at Joey Kenaston, and Joey Polo Park for that matter (whats with these stupid names??), can’t they Just be Joey’s like they used to?
Last night’s experience was terrible…
–an extremely sour lemon drop martini (way too much lemon)
–mixup on one of our entrees, ordered tenderloin, got sirloin
–Crab legs were ice cold, and were sent back
On the up side, the mashed potatoes in philo pastry are delicious and our service was decent as well
