Authenticity: 4/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
Service: 2/5 (during this visit)
I had a quick lunch with my cousin at Joey's at Yorkdale last week and decided to finally try the Ahi Tuna Tacos.
Ahi Tuna Tacos ($12.50)
- menu description: seared rare ahi tuna, toasted sesame, ginger, coleslaw and wasabi aioli
- thoughts: The dish itself is quite small, even for me! It barely made me full and I definitely wanted more. Because of it's size, I felt that being priced at $12.50 was a bit too much. Nevertheless, it was really yummy! I loved the shell because it's not your typical taco shells that come in those Old El Paso Kits. Instead, it has the same texture and taste as fried wontons (without the shrimp inside of course)! The Ahi Tuna was seared nicely and overall, it was very good! All of the components came together and the wasabi aioli gave a nice flavour to the tacos. This dish left you wanting more and everybody should try these tacos once in their lifetime.
The only thing I had to complain about this visit to Joey's was the fact that nobody served us until I complained to one of the waitresses. We were left with the menus and nobody gave us water or took our order until I complained and that was 15 minutes after we were seated by the hostess. After that, the service was typical.
I would come back to Joey's (like I said in my previous post) just to try out the different dishes they offer!
