Joey, the Canadian restaurant known for its globally inspired menu — Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, American and more — and buoyant customer service, will open its first Northern California location at Westfield Valley Fair’s restaurant row.
It’s another score for the upscale Santa Clara mall, which was selected a few years ago by Eataly for its first Italian food emporium in the Bay Area/NorCal.
Joey, a family-owned business in the “premium casual” restaurant category, boasts a menu that ranges from shareable plates of Korean Fried Cauliflower and Roasted Corn Guacamole to entrees of Ravioli Bianco with seafood, Bollywood Butter Chicken and Steak & Sushi. There’s a full bar with craft cocktails, wine and beer. The signature dessert is the Individually Baked Apple Pie.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based chain opened in 1992. Now there are 23 locations across Canada and nine in the United States, with a recent incursion the last few years into Southern California, Washington, Texas and Florida. The four SoCal Joeys are located in downtown Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach and Woodland Hills.
At the Santa Clara mall, Joey will take over the space formerly occupied by Bamboo Sushi, which closed recently.
No opening date has been announced.
