Joey's refreshed their menu and kitchen quality sometime last year. This came with an increase in price, but a clear improvement in food quality. My thinking is that if you're going to eat out, you want the food to be well made, even if the price is higher. I think this has been worth it, and there are still affordable drink and food options available, although there are more high end options.

About the restaurant
The origin of The Story Café emerged from the mantra “There is a story in everything”
So in 2018 when we fell upon a 30 year old warehouse, we saw the potential to transform the abandoned space into a warm, hospitable, unique eatery. Through consistent innovation, research and dedication we managed to blend our affinity for coffee, music, food and antique into a ambient mélange of vintage and nostalgia. Today, we proudly present our eatery to newcomers and are considered a staple in the Richmond community!

We are excited to share with you that our restaurant has been voted for the OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2023 award for multiple categories in Vancouver! This prestigious award is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional dining experiences and top-notch service to our customers.

We have been to Story quite often but always for brunch or happy hour. First time for dinner last night. Food and service was very good as usual and the menu had lots of options.

Food was good. Service was lacking as our server was more involved in moving stuff from outside. Needed another server for water refills. Wasn’t until after served water that our first server started to check in on us. Little loud as neighbouring table seemed to be yelling at each other even though they are sitting next to each other. Good thing they left before our entres came. Food was very good.
