It’s hip, the music is eclectic, the staff seem to be enjoying themselves, and the food is damn good. It’s small, so I’d recommend reservations.
I eat here way too much! Awesome vegan options, killer cocktails, and a very cool beer selection on draft. Great people as well, they really take care of their customers and the neighborhood.
Happy hour was a good bang for your buck. Dumplings were so yummy! our amazing server, Jules, ROCKED. Fun personality, very helpful and attentive! The rest of the staff was equally helpful and kind :) great date night spot!
Cheu has the best ramen bowls I have ever had. All of their food is great. I love how you can get sushi from next door. Awesome seasonal drinks & the atmosphere is fun. I highly recommend!! If you dont try you are really missing you!
This ramen was really good on first try, definitely want to go back for more. What was great about this place is the food literally came out in 3 minutes. The menu is kind of small but I’m sure that means the dishes are better prepared? I’ll update this when I go back to confirm. I got brisket ramen and it was good and unique enough that I’ll be back. The space was very cool and the waitress was polite. The other pic is of the pork ramen.
I have since gone back and also got dumplings. Their ramen still hit the second spot. Love this place!!
What a cool place! Great food and service that makes you feel like the most important guests in the restaurant. Can't wait for my next visit in Philly! My lucky brother and his wife can visit every day... ;)
I am hard to impress and I really like the coconut curry ramen.
Got the coconut curry noodles with a side of kimchi. Had the shiso famous cocktail which was amazing! Loved the setting really chill vibes, server was friendly. Will be back
I went to Cheu specifically for their Toki whisky highball machine! I've heard about them, and love a good highball. They served four different variations, I had two, and tasted a third my son got. Wonderfully brisk and refreshing, flashy carbonation. We didn't get food, we were headed elsewhere, but it all looked and SMELLED great. Can't wait to return.
The service was outstanding, even on a packed valentine's day I was really impressed with the attentiveness. The ambiance was cool, although the music was extremely loud, and the tight seating was far for a romantic vibe. The stars of the meal were the charred scallion Rangoon's, and sauteed noodle dish, with an honorable mention to the Brisket Ramen. The sushi was great, although the crab salad on the land and sea roll was stronger tasting than I expected. The chicken lettuce wraps were the poor performers. The chicken was dry, and the ration of sauce they provided was inadequate, and overall left us feeling they were fine at best.
Overall a great meal, and I will continue to go back.
Wow, the food was wonderful. Got there right around 6 with 30 minutes left of happy hour, so we got to have apps and cocktails for a great price. The waitress comes by right before 6:30 to see if you want more from the happy hour menu before or ends, which is nice. Also got the steamed pork buns, which were to die for.
Nice food. All fresh and well prepared. I had dumplings and ramen, cake for dessert. Nuts accompanying dumplings is a highlight, super addictive and I’d eat more of them. The cake was a sponge cake (pumpkin latte cake) which I didn’t expect and didn’t like too much.
