I absolutely adore this place for Sunday Brunch! I can agree with Jonathan T. that the decor is a bit dated and the crowd is older but is that so bad? Decor reminds me of a 1970s retro feel. and an older crowd is also a quiet one. So for a peaceful and pleasant brunch WHY NOT?! On to the food. Absolutely delicious. A great variety of Chinese and American fare. Made to order Omelete and waffle station. Bottomless mimosa and bloody marys included. And wait staff was attentive.
Review Source:Atmosphere- 1970s idea of classy, older crowd
Food- The last two times I ate here, myself and the rest of the people I was with ended up very sick (sesame chicken and shrimp lo mein)
Service- After we were seated we were asked 3 different times if we were sure we wanted to drink water, we then ordered an appetizer and said we still needed time to decide on an entree, our waitress sent the chef out to ask us in a condescending way, "is that all you're going to be ordering this evening?"
For the price of one of their entrees you can either get an incredible entree at a nice restaurant like sotto sopra in mt vernon or Linwood's in owings mills, or feed a family of 4 at a nice Chinese restaurant somewhere else that doesn't have the dated interior and food poisoning that Joey chiu's will give you.
Do yourself, your wallet, and your stomach a favor and go ten minutes away to quarry lake and eat at Jasmine Asian cuisine if you want Chinese.
I used to work for a small and local insurance agency, and we went here for a holiday lunch (I'm thinking this was December 2011). Seats were sticky, food was gross, and service was not so bad, but the plus side is whoever made the drinks was HEAVY with the liquor. Thank goodness, as it helped the food taste better and made me not feel so awkward as I sat with folks I'd prefer not be hanging out with on this personal level. Hmmmmm....maybe the company I was with tainted my whole feel of this place, but I don't recall anything about the experience as being good.
If I were going out for this type of food again I'd go to Pikesville and visit Mr. Chan's.
A generous 3 stars because of service and very friendly staff of waiters...but "0" stars for food...it was nothing special and very bland. Â Thought the ribs were too dried out and tough, thought some of the other dishes were also over cooked. Â It tasted more like left over Chinese food that I heat up the next day. Nothing seemed fresh.
Review Source:I don't understand this place. Â Its easily twice as expensive as it should be and the food is awful. Â We ordered mapo tofu and beieve it or not, it came with carrots, peas, and mushrooms out of a can! Â I thought I was back in 1970. Â The sushi was mushy. Â We left without bringing any leftovers home - - a first.
When I got home I had to make myself a salami sandwich to reaffirm my love of food. Â This place is a rip-off!!!!!
Great place for chinese food. Very chic restrurant with a bar.The Mai Tais are AMAZING!!!! All you need is one lol The beef skewers are delicious and so is the sushi. The sushi is fresh and always keeps you wanting more. I think they have a Sunday brunch also. You should definetly check this place out. Joey Chui also comes around and speak to everyone there. Very nice and friendly. You wont be disappointed.
Review Source:The only reason this place gets two stars is because of the service.
When you walk in, Joey Chiu's is the typical Chinese trying to be classy but sort of failing type of joint. An extremely friendly hosts comes to seat you, and my guest and I were lucky enough to get a window seat. Seeing as it was for a late lunch on a Friday, the place was pretty empty, with most people finishing their meals. A busser came over right away to fill our glasses with water, followed by the waiter to come take our drink order.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to always be confused by a place that serves Chinese and sushi, but I'm always willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Joey Chiu's claims to have some of Baltimore's best sushi. Looking over the menu, I saw the typical selection of Chinese fare, and some unimpressive sushi roll selection, but it did have combos. I expected the pricing to be outrageous, seeing the restaurant's location in Green Spring Station, but it didn't SEEM too expensive.
I didn't want a full-blown meal, so I settled on the veggie sushi combo ($12), and my guest settled on the Greenspring Station sushi combo.
When our food arrived, I realized that this place IS definitely overpriced. My "veggie sushi" platter came with three rolls: asparagus, avocado, and cucumber. I've definitely had a way better selection at nearby sushi places, and was a bit disappointed at the overpriced platter sitting in front of me. My guest's platter came with one "special" roll, one tuna roll, and one california roll.
All in all, the service was great, but the food was mediocre. I will probably not be coming here again.
Of the 5 Yelp reviews for Joey Chiu's that I've read, 4 were as bad as they could be, dismal and vicious; which is difficult for me to understand.  It's not as if the Baltimore region is bursting with terrific Chinese restaurants. Understanding now that I will not have the choice of fun, reasonably priced Chinese restaurants whose huge menus conceal treasures that I had in Philly, I'm just getting used to the fact that there is not a single dim sum restaurant between here and DC.  OK one, but it took me 6 months to find it and its selections were palatable though the aisles were not exactly jammed with carts.So I for one am happy to have Joey Chiu's 20 minutes from my place. It is a solid 3 star affair which is just what one would expect from a good Cantonese restaurant in any big city.  Bustle, fair prices, good food and service and a great degree of friendly lalation.  Restaurants of this type are never meant to survive the scrutiny of finding every dish turned out perfectly.  But let's look at what they do well.  The whole Peking duck at  under $30.00 was as good as I've tasted in Philly and DC and a lot cheaper.  The shrimp & lobster sauce sported a half dozen U-13 shrimp, read big and sweet, twice as big as any I've seen in a lifetime of eating this iconic and much maligned once royal dish.  Important to me, the hot & sour is balanced and black pepper hot, and the dishes I've tasted satisfy the paradigm for good American Cantonese. Sure the General Tso's Chicken is soggy in spots and a little greasy but if you don't know enough not to order it, suck it up.  Joey Chiu's is the perfect place for Sunday dinner, lo mein and spare rib take-out and for that time when you just gotta do Chinese.

Joey Chiu's is obviously some sort of secret club. It's the only way I can explain the "service" my wife and I received there.
We arrived relatively early for dinner (around 6pm) and the place was packed. We were seated immediately at a gigantic round table in the middle of the restaurant, smack-dab in the path of every passing waiter, incontinent guest, and stumbling toddler. We huddled together on one side of the table and tried to stay out of everyone's way, on display as if we were the centerpiece of some comic opera.
Eventually (probably 10 minutes after we were seated) a waitress stopped by (obviously on her way to more important business) and sulkily took our drink orders. Miraculously our drinks arrived about 5 minutes later and we settled in to read the menus as the scions of Greenspring Valley noshed noisily around us and the wait staff bustled by.
And bustled. And bustled. After about 15 minutes we began to get nervous. If nothing else our drinks were drained and we were ready for another (if for no other reason than to calm our jangling nerves). No waiter. 10 more minutes passed and we watched our server zoom past with food and drink for others, smiling as she dished up food to everyone else but us.
After about a half an hour we began to get pretty pissed. My wife (who's a little more forceful than I when it comes to requesting service) stuck out her hand as the waitress passed by in a blur for the 50th time and managed to get her to stop. She initially frowned at us (apparently some horse owner was going to starve to death unless she zipped onward) but as we mentioned to her that we'd been sitting for 30 minutes and would like to order, she looked at us and laughed...then zipped away.
Laughed? Yup. Laughed. The waitress at this overpriced, overrated, overstuffed, and overdecorated Chinese restaurant actually LAUGHED at us when we politely asked if we could order after sitting for 30 minutes.
We threw down some money (I'm sure it wasn't enough given the clientele and the attitude) to cover our drinks and walked out, never to return again.
The upside: time has turned this into a funny story rather than a rage-inducing rant.
Joey Chiu: F#*K You.
Well, it's been about a year since my last review and I have been lucky enough to have friends who have  taken me up for lunch several times. I have not been disappointed once. So, I still don't get the other negative reviews.
Never have I encountered anything but friendly staff and, yes, I am still getting my favorite: crispy fish with General Tso's sauce.
Their eggrolls are the only ones I have had in this area that are truly fresh and made in house. They have crunchy, chunky veggies (plus white meat chicken and shrimp) inside instead of the mushy nasty prepackaged stuff most places have now.
And yes, they are a bit pricier than others, but I am more than willing to pay the difference for food this good.
I do have to say that I stopped up once during their Sunday brunch, and while it looked amazng, I do draw the line at paying about $35.00.
So, my offer still stands: drive me up for a free lunch--this is my favorite restaurant!!!
The food would be fine if this was just a regular, cheap chinese take-out place. Â But it's not. Â The food here is much pricier but not really better quality. Â The restaurant IS pretty (in a 1980s decor kind of way) and the staff have always been extremely nice and polite, but it's just not somewhere I'm terribly impressed with. Â
Luckily, they're in the middle of Greenspring Valley so there's not much competition with Tarks being the only other full-service restaurant nearby . Â If you want mediocre Chinese food in a nice setting, and you're willing to pay a bit extra, this could be a winner for you.
I ate there a couple of times about 10 years ago and thought it was mediocre. Â But figured why not give it a shot, since I was in the area. Â I thought maybe it was sold and no longer a pretentious diner serving what the owners imagined that Americans in Greenspring Valley thought Chinese food was, including Grilled Chicken Salads and various Salmon dishes. Â Well, much to my chagrin, I ordered a large Hot and Sour Soup and Hunan Shrimp to go, and when it came to over $20 bucks for lunch, I asked are you sure that's right?! Â The little snooty tween behind the counter informed me that the hot and sour soup I normally pay $3-$5 for during lunch at other places was almost $8 bucks there. Â But really, I didn't even care about the money part because I was so hungry. Â But you know what? Â She was such a bitch that I could not resist saying that I am just going to go somewhere else. Â Maybe because it looked like the owner(her mother?) was standing right next to her and another customer was waiting for his food also, that I felt it necessary to stand up for others rights as well. Â I just know that many who have gone there have been mistreated or just paid for meals that were sub par and just never said anything about it because they are just so nasty in there and perhaps they were intimidated by the Richy clientele,but in my humble opinion, there is no excuse for inflated prices for disgusting food!
