    JOEY Manhattan consistently delivers quality dishes and great ambiance, making it a go-to spot for a top-level dining experience. We started with a couple of apples, and the Hibachi Wings were a great twist on traditional chicken wings - perfectly cooked and savoury. The hummus was bursting with flavour and pita soft. For our mains, I had the sirloin steak, which was cooked perfectly and offered a tender, flavourful bite. The crispy mash was absolutely delightful. Awesome time!

    The food was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and my friend had the lobster bisque. We stayed inside since it was chilly outside. It was also chilly in the restaurant as well. Service was great!

    The food here is truly amazing, an easy recommendation. The service was amazing always met with a smile. and truly never felt like I was left out. The ambience was great and something fairly unique not the reason you should go to this place but nice nevertheless. Each dish truly felt like I was going back to something amazing- they all had great profiles that would compliment the other dishes very well. everything I ate seemed well thought out and truly wonderful. an easy recommendation to anyone looking to grab food in LA.
