We were hanging out at Manhattan Beach in LA, and I gotta to tell you [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance at Joey's Manhattan Beach Restaurant was absolutely incredible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the moment we walked in until we left we felt like we were in the City of Stars !!! To cap it off was the service we received from Ava. She was outstanding and the food just reinforced the positive experience we had. I highly recommend it with a smile !! read more

Camryn was great, super friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing, and I would definitely recommend the mini short rib French dip.

Dinner was so so good! Tried the new fajitas that Melissa recommended they were lovely. Thanks again for the amazing time here!

Kenji was our server, super good dude. We were looking to go light on calories so did the ceviche and gyoza but then he talked us into the cheesecake. C'mon Kenji! But yeah Joey is chill, the ambiance is open eating area, see and be seen. BTW...did I mention our server was Kenji? read more

Joey never disappoints. Kenji was our server, and he really is the best. We had a few appetizers, drinks, and dessert, and everything came out perfect. Awesome service and ambiance -- will definitely be back! read more

Food was well prepared and delicious. Our Hostess, Tori was a delight and provided excellent service! After two Steak & Sushi, one Salmon dish and a special request entrée. Tori surprised us with a Birthday surprise. read more

JOEY Manhattan Beach - Steak and Tuna & Avocado Sushi - New American Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

This is one of the lighter yet most satisfying options on the menu. The seared rare ahi tuna is fresh and tender, complemented by sweet mango, creamy avocado, crunchy peanuts, and crispy wonton or gyoza strips. The cilantro-ginger dressing ties everything together with bright, refreshing flavors, making the salad feel substantial without The combination of grilled steak and prawns delivers a surf-and-turf experience with generous protein. The rich beurre blanc or creamy sauce coats the pasta well, while crispy onions and parmesan add texture and depth. The steak is typically cooked to order and remains tender, although the sauce can be quite rich, making this a dish best suited for those craving comfort food. read more

Food here was delicious !!!! The mini French dips are basically toast with a slice of steak and a sauce, yummy but a little pricey. The ravioli was filling and the shrimps were tasty. The chicken katsus on the carbonara was also very good! Service was sadly quite a bit slower than we would like. We had to ask for everything .. more water, soda refills ($5.50), extra silverware, a steak knife. Doesn't seem understaffed they just aren't very observant and no one checks in. Definitely why it's not 5 stars on this review. Cute inside, they do give complimentary champagne which is a nice touch. read more

We made reservations for 12 at 8:30. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were able to seat 17 at 9:15 - 6 older people at the regular tables and the remaining 11 at high tops. Hannah was what I would call, our lead server. She exuded joy, competence, and kindness. At the end of the dinner, she brought my husband a celebration cheesecake. It read Congratulations 2026 USC! We didn't even tell her where he graduated from. That was so special to us. The food: I ordered my usual grilled chicken and mashed potatoes. It was typically spectacular. My in laws and their friends ALL ordered the salmon. They said they loved it. My sister in law ordered a burger and devoured it. My brother in law ordered a one random sautéed salmon. It was wildly overcooked. They immediately brought him a new medium salmon that he found perfect. My cousin got the sea bass and shared it with me. I found it delicate and delicious. We ordered apps for the table from the late happy hour menu and I had a beautiful pinot noir recommended by Hannah and a random glass of complimentary bubbly from the hostess. What a perfect night!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It is always a fun experience at Joey's.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were super accommodating, they were attentive and very kind. I just love how you're greeted with a glass of bubbles as you wait to get seated. The menu is pretty diverse, and it's hard to choose between what to order. For some reason, my ribeye was overly peppered, every bite was very difficult because of the amount of peppers used, I thought I was eating a Cacio E Pepe at that point. Except what was I going to do? Send the steak back? That's a little bit wasteful, so of course we have to eat it. The staff brought out the wrong drinks, a couple of times, which I said, I'll just take it thinking it's not gonna be wasteful, but they ended up charging us for it? God forbids me from being wasteful... but ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience of the restaurant is chill, it can get really busy, so a reservation is recommended.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They put Cheddar cheese, you know, real cheese on their burgers and not that awful American cheese also known as cheese food. That alone makes me return more than once. We love their burgers and they will even cook them the way you want and not burn them because they think they have to. They are the best. It has double patties, cheddar cheese, pickles, lettuce, roasted onion aioli--what more could you want. I know, fries that are great. It comes with them or for a tad more you can get a side salad or truffle parmesan fries. It matters not, they are all great. Their steaks are so great. The Joey Classic is a sirloin cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes. You can also get the Prime NY Strip and it is more money (a lot more) but so worth it. Everything there is great. It is open late. I love that. It is open until midnight, but don't show up at midnight, the kitchen is closing. The service is great. The place is just beautiful. I think this is some sort of chain, but it sure is wonderful so open more. read more

Service is excellent. However the food is average at best .... I usually order the steak + sushi - filet upgrade and seared salmon option Nearly $100 for this dish and the steak comes out lukewarm and sushi tastes like you can make it at home. It's rice with seared salmon and mayo on top nothing crazy or special. Truffle fries didn't taste much like truffle and also came out lukewarm. Butter cake was very dense/doughy and heavy, I could only eat one bite. We also ordered the Mini Short Rib French Dips as well, comes in 2 or 4 pieces. We ordered 4 They have different size meat on every piece. One was a scrap , literally less than half of the others. Imagine we ordered 2 piece and got the tiny pieces, I wouldn't have even known any better. If you're not going to be consistent with the food/portions don't put the irregularities on the same plate as the others!! Just lazy and rookie mistakes you would not expect at a high end establishment. Looks like they don't even care at all to throw in that tiny gimpy piece. Also one of the pieces were barely thrown on the plate leaning off the plate. I fixed it for the first photo, but in my 2nd photo it shows how it came to our table. It's just insane how little they care. read more

I'm writing this for our most recent visit to this Joey's to celebrate our friend's birthday. Of course, my wife and I recommended that we come here as we've always had great experience here for our many previous visits. I have already written a review from one of our get-together celebration here. For this visit, the experience was not that great most specifically when I came to the reception where the staff at the front prioritized those people in groups before me even though I was there first to let check in for our reservation for our group. They asked me to step aside and wait for my friends before they speak to me about our reservation and then talked to all the other people who were supposed to be after me. After they checked us in they asked us to sit down by the waiting area to wait to be called to be accompanied to our table but I noticed they provided welcome drinks to the other people they checked in but not to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Never happened to us here before, but no big deal because we like coming here and we enjoy the food here though a lot of times could be loud and sometimes more chaotic than other times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, after that unusual experience at the front reception area, everything else went very well. The wait was reasonable, the foods were great as usual, and the service was super! I would like to give a super kudos to Emma R. who attended to us during this visit. She was one of the key factors this was still a great experience for us. She provided great, friendly, attentive and efficient service and always gave us wonderful attitude in a very fun yet calm demeanor. We give a great shoutout and kudos to Emma R for her service to us that night uplifted and cancelled the not-so nice incident we experienced at the front reception area. read more

Average food though stunning interiors and lively atmosphere in this restaurant nestled in Manhattan Village. There was complimentary sparking wine on the Sunday evening we dined there - not sure if this was for their daily happy hour or a special event for that night, but it was a nice touch. Service was friendly and excellent. Unfortunately, overall felt underwhelmed by the quality of the food especially with the high prices. The Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps were made with fried chicken and did not have authentic Szechuan flavors - but rather the flavor was predominantly the sugary glaze with some sprinkled Thai chillies. Seem like they are a crowd pleaser but perhaps not appropriately named and may be similar to fare at PF Changs. The scallop and shrimp ceviche and poke bowl were nothing standout. read more

Joey Manhattan Beach is a nice spot that clearly gets a lot of business, especially with the many offices and companies nearby. The restaurant was busy for diner but they gave us free champagne! Prices are on the higher side, which is expected for MB, but the food quality was solid. We ordered the Katsu Chicken Salad, which was the highlight. The katsu was nicely breaded and crispy, the salad was really tasty, and the portion was filling with a good amount of food. I also tried the seared salmon sushi. The salmon tasted fresh and well prepared, but the portion was pretty light and honestly not very filling compared to the katsu dish. The mall itself is nicely remodeled and has plenty of other food options nearby if the wait at Joey is long. It is also very close to Handel's Ice Cream, which makes it easy to grab dessert afterward. I parked in the south parking structure which is right next to Joey. The parking is convenient but it can get crowded unless you get lucky with timing. Overall the area feels very safe and pleasant to walk around. It makes for a nice little date spot, though it is definitely priced according to the location. I would return again. read more

After going to the downtown location several times, we decided to try this one as my mother was visiting (first time to SoCal/LA) and we had a phenomenal time. Drinks, food, service....all excellent. For those who say it is noisy, yes, but not intolerable. Just about normal for an evening in LA that has upper level dining. Logan was THE BOMB!! Thanks for showing my mom a good California time. read more

We had an outstanding experience at Joey Manhattan Beach, and Kenji made it even better. From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great dining experience. Kenji was knowledgeable about the menu, made excellent recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without ever making us feel rushed. His professionalism, friendly personality, and attention to detail really stood out. Excellent service is hard to come by, and Kenji absolutely delivered. If you're dining at Joey Manhattan Beach, ask for Kenji--you'll be in great hands. We'll definitely be back! read more

First time going to JOEY despite having lived in LA for a few years. Never knew what I missing out on until now. To be fair, you have to be amazing to open so many stores with all good reviews. Reservations are definitely recommended no matter the hour. I came in on Thursday around 8:00PM, and had to wait 30min for a table for 4. They give you free champagne while you wait, but honestly after a few sips it was pretty mid. Overall vibe was upscale and relatively dimly lit (partially due to the time), so it'll make a good place for any occasion. Prices are relatively fair for the ambiance and quality, though there are some menu items that could definitely be cheaper. Overall menu and restaurant vibes felt like an upscale version of the lazy dog, with a lot of menu options being asian inspired. I ordered a Joey Classic Steak since I was curious on their on their "famous crispy mashed potatoes". The steak was full of flavor and had a distinct and unique taste profile that isn't just salt and pepper. It was perfectly cooked medium that was juicy and tender. The mashed potatoes are just...fried spring rolls with a mashed potato filling and some sour cream. Definitely was expecting more of a unique flavor or texture profile, so was a little disappointed. Always worth a try for the curious foodie, especially on some "famous" or "unique" dish. Worth mentioning that I also tried the sushi in the Sushi and Steak order. The salmon was seared to perfection and the cut was melt in your mouth kind of quality - a must order over the classic steak. The lobster pasta is overpriced, and the flavor profile tasted like something you can find at any pasta place. You're just paying for the lobster at that point, and even then it felt like just 1 lobster. Service is very friendly and full of energetic (and attractive) people. Food came out a little slower than expected, but at least they timed it so it all came at the same time. I also told them it was my birthday and asked them if they did anything, and I was surprised with a little birthday cake! The creme brulee cake is amazing - to a point where I recommend ordering it for dessert. It was not too sweet and felt light. read more

I love Joeys! It's feels a bit more higher class for a good night out but that is still affordable. I got their chicken Parmesan and I loved the presentation. It was also delicious it's on tie with my favorite place to get chicken parm. I loved the staff they were very welcoming at the door, gave us some free Champaign which felt amazing. The interior is beautiful and really relaxing. One of my favorite places to visit. read more

Joey Manhattan Beach is located in a beautiful open-air upscale shopping center. The interior decor is modern and sophisticated. I'm guessing only attractive Hollywood hopefuls are employed here-very attractive people. The restaurant has an endearing practice of offering a complimentary glass of champagne to all diners upon arrival. Mariah was our affable server. We ordered martinis, a medium rare ribeye with fries, and a house salad. Top level A #1 all the way! The steak was well seasoned and so tender. The salad was lightly and perfectly dressed. We were compelled to ask Mariah to deliver our compliments to the chef for an outstanding meal. We eat out often and this was one of the most perfect experiences. High praise well deserved! read more

Free champagne while you're waiting for your table is worth two stars on its own! But everything else about this place was great; the mood lighting, the view of the kitchen, the nice open booths, just to name a few. Came on a date night with my girl and we both had a great time! We shared the spicy crab dip for an appetizer, which tasted so good with the bread it came with. She had the Mediterranean chicken bowl and I had the tuna poke bowl with avocado; both were flavorful and just enough for the both of us. She loved her sangria, and the Joey French 75 was crisp and refreshing. Definitely want to come here again to enjoy the food and the vibes! read more

This was our 3rd time here and the service was subpar. It became a distracting focus from my Mom's birthday we were celebrating and a running joke unfortunately. It was one thing after another... 1. Server said he'd be back with water after we'd been waiting awhile already, but that took forever. 2. Had to ask for table to be cleared twice, (appetizer dishes and then meal dishes prior to dessert). 3. Had to ask for water to be refilled several times. Larger cups or leaving a carafe on tables would've been better. Second time we've experienced this here. 4. Table candles weren't lit and the manager started going around to light them eventually. No eye contact or engagement. We were waiting for him to ask how things were going so we could fill him in, but since he did not, it all began to make sense. 5. We were served our meals, but then had to wait as food was getting cold since steak knives were missing. 6. Asked another server to let ours know we had a birthday as he was right there in the kitchen. No candle came out on the dessert. He then brings the candle and lights it at the table. First lighter had no fuel so he had to go get another one as we awkwardly waited to sing Happy Birthday. Not classy doing it that way. 7. Brings receipt and plops it on the table with no tray or folder. Not sure about returning yet as things are inconsistent. I think there were more things that happened, but you get the gist. I'd say to just anticipate a hit or miss experience. Parking: Free nearby garage or mall parking lot. read more

I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. Upon walking in, you can clearly see the lovely decor and elegance. There was a greeter at the door and he assisted in patrons coming to the check in desk, so not to be too crowded. The hostesses were very kind and there was no problem with the reservation we made. The molten lava cake was divine and rich. I also enjoyed the Kiwi Collins. This restaurant is in a shopping center so many parking options: valet, in a covered structure, outside. I believe only valet you would need to pay. I can see myself returning, whether to this location or a different one! read more

We went to Joey's at Manhattan Village and had a very good experience. This is one of if not my wife's favorite resturant. Our server, I believe her name was Vivian, was very attentive. She brought me extra ice and water without me even having to ask, and I really appreciated that because I was feeling dehydrated for some reason. We did not get my usual chicken dish this time. Instead, my friend and I both got the smash burgers and they were very good. The fries were solid and that side salad was better than I expected. It felt more like a power bowl than just a little salad. I loved the beets and all the things they added into it. It was actually very filling. Going there on a Sunday afternoon is always a nice vibe. Good food, good service, and a good atmosphere. Joey's gets 5 stars from me. read more

Joey is simply the best: service, food, ambience - everything is great. I love how they offer you a complimentary glass of bubbly at the host's stand before leading you to a table. I arrived early and waited on my friend at the table while sipping champagne. Our waiter was so kind and friendly. We never felt rushed. We split the Baja Fish Tacos with fries (separated into two plates for us); the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps; and we each had a Cappuccino at the end of our meal. Everything was so delicious!

OMG, I thought I posted this!!! We walked in on a sunday wanting to watch a specific football game (which no one had but we were able to watch it from our phone). WE put our name down and got our complimentary champagne and took a seat in the little waiting area behind the hostess desk. About 20 minutes later we were sat at 4 high top in the bar area where we were able to watch the other football games. Score!!! Shawne`: 10/1`0 was our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations. She answered all of our menu questions. She was personable, attentive and we had a great night with a lot of laughs, I mean A LOT OF LAUGHS (even when one our team had a major "L"). She kept the drinks flowing and our table was cleaned off regularly as she kept coming by to check in on us. We took up her table for the remainder of the night. We were having so much fun that we didn't want to leave. We will definitely be coming back and asking to sit in her section again and again. Drinks: 5/5 I ordered a Jameson Mule, they add this delectable lemonade slush to top it off.....YUMMERSSSSS!!! My friend really enjoyed her Titos Lemon Drop. We also,very much enjoyed our complimentary belinis (which were sweet but refreshing nonetheless). Our food was AMAZING!!!! Sushi Cones: 5/5 tempura shrimp, avocado, cucumber, pea sprouts, spicy mayo, tobiko in a soybean wrapper. We ordered a total of 8, need I say more? Joey's Classic 14oz New York Strip: 5/5, we got ours medium. It was perfectly seasoned and so tender, melt in your mouth like buttter. It was accompanied by a fully loaded mashed potato egg roll and broccolini with a bechamel sauce. Creme Brulee Cheesecake: 5/5 We will definitely be back and we will be asking to be in Shawne' section. pictures to come....I am having uploading issues. Grrrrrrrrrrr read more

As far as Saturday evening dinner, this place is somehow a popular attraction. Must be the shoppers coming here after a long day of shopping. There are more fashionably dressed patrons here, too. This place is fancy. And expensive. It's a big open floor dining space. Very crowded. Make reservations before you come. Best place to sit is the booths in the middle of the dining area. I started with spicy cauliflower and my entree was the sushi and steak. My fav is the cauliflower. The steak was fine, but not remarkable. The lava cake for dessert was good. The negatives were being seated in front of the late afternoon sun glare. My Cabernet Sauvignon glass was dirty with fingerprints and water spots. I would come back and try their sea bass entree, but not sure after how we were treated. read more
