Joey (Burnaby): Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad

It’s been a few years since I last posted a review about Joey Burnaby… that’s not to say that we stopped coming here. Rather, I’ve found that their menu really hasn’t changed much over the years. I suppose this is true for many chain restaurants as it’s the consistency in menu and service delivery that draws repeat customers.

An item that did pique my interest on a recent visit was their Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad ($18.75) made of julienned vegetables, arugula, and miso ginger dressing over a crispy chicken breast. There’s a slight amount of heat in this salad with the addition of jalapeño slices. The flattened chicken had a crisp breaded coating and the tart julienned vegetables added to the crunchiness of the salad.

My only real complaint about this restaurant is that I wish they offered a larger menu – perhaps a rotating weekly special so those of us that visit frequently don’t get menu fatigue.
