JOEY Manhattan Beach

We had a wonderful experience at JOEY Manhattan Beach. The staff was extremely professional from start to finish. Stacie (hostess) graciously accommodated us nearly an hour before our reservation, which we truly appreciated. We were also indecisive about sitting inside versus outside and bounced between the two — yet she remained patient, courteous, and accommodating the entire time. Her professionalism and composure did not waver. Truly top-tier hospitality. Jesse, our server, was equally impressive — knowledgeable, attentive, and polished. He answered our questions thoroughly and made excellent recommendations. The food was outstanding and beautifully prepared. Yes, it is on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it for the quality, service, and overall experience. We’re looking for

I’m so glad I decided to try out this place cuz the food is amazing here!! Restaurant itself has nice ambience and overall pristine clean. We ordered quite of few dishes and I honestly loved most of them! The chicken lettuce wrap was probably my favorite. It’s marinated deliciously and paired with amazing crunch. Either crab dip or ravioli would be my second fav but hard to choose, for they were both delicious. I’d definitely come back. Their food in general were all amazing

From checking in for your reservation to getting recommendations from our amazing waiter Nickolas, this is the place to go for dinner. Came here to surprise my gf with a special evening and Nickolas had everything handled. Food was delightful, portions, flavor and price were all great. The steak and lobster pasta is the choice if you’re a foodie. You have to try the cheesecake. Trust me. The rest of the evening was a success.

This was my first time trying this restaurant and I’m so glad I did! The restaurant itself is so cute and has nice dim lighting. Seats both inside and outside available. The restaurant serves you champagne while you’re waiting for your table. The servers were all very sweet and welcoming and the food was delicious! Parking was a breeze- it’s free in the parking structures and open lots. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. Food/drink review: Strawberry cool (w/gin): (4/5) This was super refreshing and delicious! It’s a zero proof drink, but I added gin. Japanese gyoza: (5/5) These were so tasty! Great texture and flavor. The sauce it comes with is bomb! Lobster spaghetti: (5/5) I’m allergic so didn’t personally try it but my 2 friends said it was delicious and the

I’ve been going to JOEY Manhattan Beach for a while, so this is not coming from a one-off bad day. Unfortunately, my recent visit felt like a preview of a place that has lost its rhythm. The bar service was slow and inconsistent from the start. It took about 20 minutes for the bartender to circle back, and the drinks that finally arrived were surprisingly underwhelming. Not terrible enough to send back, but definitely not what you expect from a spot known for its bar program. The bigger disappointment was the crispy tofu bowl. I’ve ordered it many times and it’s usually solid. This time it showed up with exactly six very small pieces of tofu and no avocado, which I had specifically requested. It looked less like a bowl and more like a garnish situation. When the bartender eventually re
