| - Oh man, where do I start?
It started off OK. The waitress took our drink order, and then came back (reasonably) promptly to take our food orders. Then... the waiting started. We probably waited 45 minutes for our food without anyone giving us an update on its status! Totally unacceptable.
Finally, the food came. One of our party (of five) noticed that the chicken on her salad was not cooked. The offending dish was sent back and replaced. My salad (sashimi tuna salad) was absolutely tiny! I thought it was listed under the "big salad" heading on the menu, oh wait, IT IS. They seemed to have mysteriously left off the mixed greens that were supposed to come in it, and the mango as advertised was limited to two, super hard, tiny pieces that were not even ripe enough to eat. Plus, there were chow mein noodles in it! This was not listed at all in their menu description.
The seared ahi tuna was stone-cold and did not appear as if it was cooked to order. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think this is common practice. I asked for some more greens due to the size of the salad and they brought me out a (tiny) mixed greens salad, then added a 6.99 charge to the bill to correct their own error!
At least they comped the salad where the chicken was uncooked, and credited the charge of 6.99 for my 'additional' salad. The food was actually pretty decent but due to the ongoing saga of mistakes during our lunch time, I won't be visiting any Joey's location in the future if I can help it.
If you are in the area and looking for that sort of food, do yourself a favour, go to earls or cactus club instead, you will not regret it.
