    My husband and I had dinner at JOEY Newport Beach for the first time, and Naydine and Chloe made it such a great night. Naydine, our hostess, was incredible. She gave us such a warm welcome and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Chloe, our server, was outstanding. She was bubbly, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. We loved her energy, and she made the whole evening feel easy and relaxed. We started with the hibachi wings and dumplings and loved both. My husband had the chicken fajitas, and I had the sea bass. We were both really happy with what we ordered. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Naydine and Chloe, for making our first visit one we’ll remember!
