    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!
