Chow Yum

Great Ramen! The firebird is one of my favorite ramens ever! The service is amazing and the vibe is great for a date night!

Having never been, but hearing really great things about this restaurant we decide to go last Saturday. It was an early afternoon. (11:30am) it was pretty cold and windy outside, so we were looking for a comfortable seat inside. There were two of us. 4 tables were occupied. All else were open. There was one incredibly small two top table. And seating, which were high chairs, at the bar. (I'm 5' 0", so high bar stool type seating is very uncomfortable for me.) The hostess insisted she could not seat us at a four top table In a restaurant that was 3/4 empty. I said, so you're seriously telling me you're not going to seat us Other than at the incredibly small two top table, one of the high barstools at the bar, or outside in the cold. She replied yes, that is what I'm saying.So we left We went a few doors down to an Italian restaurant, walked in and were immediately greeted by the owner (found out later) who said hey pick yourself a seat. Needless to say, they got our business I'm still pretty flabbergasted we were not seated at Chow Yum. Bad business practice, Chow Yum. I'll never try your food now and will actively discourage others from doing so. Robin

Great atmosphere, fun location under overpass, variety of beverage options. My friend mentioned it and I had similar thought. Server was helpful knowledge but almost painfully chipper in a unauthentic, fake type of way. However, we were only ppl outside and weren't forgotten- that's good- but the robotic interactions were a bit strange, unsettling. Tasty snack(pork belly bao)/beverage (Tokyo mule) after walking lakes.

This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants, and I crave it often! It's also a great place to visit when it's cold out. The parking situation can be a little tricky, given that there are so many other restaurants around, but don't give up--keep driving around, and you'll eventually find a spot. The drinks are always superb, and the food is incredibly tasty! It's a great spot for a date night or a fun girls' night out. If there aren't any tables available, the bar is a fantastic option! The wait can also be a bit of a pain, but again, just be patient; the best food will soon be in front of you!

I'm typically not a fan of Asian cuisine/ramen noodles, but this place is seriously so delicious! My friends were craving something different, so we decided on Chow Yum!We went late on a Saturday night, and this place was packed. It is small inside, but luckily for us, a table just had gotten up, so we were sat immediately. There are limited tables both inside and outside, but inside there are tvs and a bar. Also, this place is right under the overpass, so a very convenient location.To start, we got the wings. There are only 6, and they were spicy. I'm not a huge fan of spice, so I thought these were just ok. For an entree, I decided to try the fried chicken Bao buns. WOW! These are packed full of flavor. The Bao bun is sweet but it was paired nicely with the fried chicken strip and soy sauce. One of my favorite bites actually! I wish there were more Bao buns per order because I could have eaten at least 4. My friends got the ramen noodle bowl and a stir fry that they said were delicious. Service was good and food was amazing! I will be back solely for the Bao buns!

Good place to get Asian food around Baton Rouge. The Ramen was pretty flavorful. The pork was good although there's a decent amount that was too chewy to eat. The broth was amazing. The noodles was average. The rest of the toppings were good. The chicken bao that I got was good. The batter of the chicken was OK, I wish it tasted more like a chicken Karaage but the flavors of the bao itself was pretty good. I'd come back if I'm in the area.

I heard all the rave during crawfish season so I finally got around to coming over here! My honest review on the crawfish was that it is ok. They add some stuff in that you won't get at any other place in BR (edamame, quail eggs and such) and the butter sauce has lemongrass flavors. A twist on a regular south Louisiana boil. The wings were crunchy and quite yummy. Overall the place is small but they move people in and out pretty quick from what I experienced. Inside and outside seating and some anime to enjoy on the bar tv.

We went on Friday night at 7:30pm, were immediately seated at a two person table with a shared bench, but we felt it was too tight of a squeeze between the neighboring tables, so we asked to move to the bar. Really glad we did bc the bartender was great. She was super friendly, helpful, and she kindly turned the TV to men's basketball per my boyfriend's request. The bar was really nice and clean, and I loved the lighting. I ordered a featured frozen drink - the coconut mojito, which I loved. I normally don't like mojitos, but I found the coconut balanced the mint nicely, and made for a very refreshing cocktail. My boyfriend got the Master Roshi, which we both thought was very good.For our entrées we ordered the Dan Dan Noods and the Crispy Fish Curry Ramen. The Dan Dan Noods were amazing and had SO much flavor. I did not really care for the kimchi I chose to add on, but I'd never tried it before, so that's no fault of Chow Yum's. I loved how spicy my Dan Dan Noods were, however, if you don't enjoy spiciness, the Crispy Fish Curry Ramen would be the one to go with as it was much tamer. We found it to be a little lacking for this reason, but it was still very tasty, and the fish was delicious!Overall, had a great time, with great employees, great food, and great drinks! Hope to return some day :)

The food at Chow Yum Phat is always amazing. They cook everything perfectly, and the seasoning is incredible. We've never been disappointed.

this review is so long overdue.. Been going to this spot for years and years and it never fails to amaze me. Every single thing i've tried has been awesome. the dumplings, the pig ears, THE BAOS, wings, ramen, fried rice, blah blah blah - you can't go wrong! everything is so vibrant, so flavorful, so delicious! they always have fun specials going on, whether it be food or drinks. the Cocktails are so diverse and creative! the atmosphere is so enjoyable! they always have some anime on the screen, which i appreciate. they just expanded their patio so more outdoor seating available! the service is always great! prices are reasonable for the insane quality of food you're getting. i will ALWAYS recommend this spot to out-of-towners and to locals who just haven't given it a shot yet. (would've loved to include more pictures of the food because everything comes out looking beautiful but you'll just have to go check it out yourself ;)
