Very nice and I would say high end restaurant. The place is clean, modern and very well arranged. Great designer. It feels very open but there is a glass wall so it's indoor. However, I felt the place was kept a bit too cold inside. Our main waitress (Jennifer L) was very attentive and proactive. She did a good job. The food was GREAT. Every dish came out was good. I had medium steak and sushi and it was excellent. See photos. You have to book in advance a day before because there were 14 of us. Some are vegetarian and no one complained. They have a decent wine selection but only one IPA option. It's pretty expensive with price ranging from $20 - $120. I would say medium is around $40. Looks like I will be back again. Definitely one of the top ones I have had in the Bay.
I came to JOEY for lunch right before New Year’s Eve. Elizabeth was my server, and she provided attentive service throughout the meal. The Steak & Ravioli Bianco had a rich texture with a well-balanced sauce. The Truffle Parmesan Fries offered a perfect combination of crispiness and aroma. The Truffle Udon Carbonara was flavorful, though it could be improved slightly by being less salty. I also enjoyed JOEY’s interior design, both in the dining area and in the restroom. Overall, it was a great experience.
My friends and I decided to finally give Joey Valley Fair a try, it’s been open for a couple of months and it’s always super busy. The few occasions that we tried walking up, it would be a couple of hours of wait so we always end up giving up. This time we made a reservation to celebrate our purchase of a new home. When we first got there, we were provided some nonalcoholic sparkling iced tea while we wait for our table to be ready. The place was very vibey, great place for hanging out with friends or a girls night out. We waited for around 15mins and were provided a booth seat right by the open kitchen which was nice and cozy. Everything on the menu looked amazing but we settled for the famous spicy crab dip, truffle udon carbonara, ravioli blanca with steak and seared salmon sushi combo with steak. The food came relatively quick, the plating was pretty and the food portions was decent. The flavours though were amazing! I would say it was more like a fun sharing place where everyone orders something different and share everything. Overall, the food and the service was great, highly recommended!
Ambiance: love the vibe here! The lights, paintings on the wall, talkative and attentive staffs, interiors designs are all shouting chill vibe. Might not be suitable for couples who wish to talk and enjoy quiet private date, but definitely recommend to gatherings either friends or family! Food: It was a company holiday dinner, so we tried a couple of appetizers. They are all very tasty, especially the Korean cauliflower and gyoza, but a bit too salty. I ordered the steak & lobster pasta. The sauce is a bit spicy and that brings the dish to another level! The steak was medium but a bit too dry and chewy. Desserts are just on the okay side. The cocktails are fantastic and definitely recommend trying some of them. Service: our table staff Sean (or Shawn?) was fantastic. Provide water, take orders at the perfect timing, and also very attentive to make sure we’re happy with our orders even ti he’s about to clock off.
Joey nails the modern, moody, upscale vibe without feeling pretentious. The ambiance is stylish, the cocktails are top-tier, and the food is truly impressive. They also have a great wine selection that pairs well with just about everything on the menu. We started with the Korean cauliflower, which was decadent, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor—easily one of the standout dishes of the night. For mains, I ordered the bone-in ribeye while my boyfriend had the steak & sushi combo. Both were cooked beautifully and delivered on flavor and presentation. What really set this visit apart was the exceptional service. I have a few complicated allergies, and our server went above and beyond—checking with the chef multiple times to ensure everything was safe. The chef even prepared special side dishes so I could enjoy a full meal without compromise, which meant a lot. Joey delivers on ambiance, cocktails, food, and hospitality. Easily one of the best dining experiences at Valley Fair—and a place I’ll absolutely be returning to.
