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.

One of my favorite restaurants, especially for an elevated take out!! A splurge but worth it - and mainly a splurge because my fiancé and I get 4 appetizers every time so that’s really our fault. 😂 Love that they keep their menu updated, rotating flavors but keeping their winning formula the same. Please never get rid of the coconut curry ramen!! Rangoons, dumplings, rice cracker, and noodles are all excellent. My dying wish is for you guys to bring back the tandoori fried rice, ancient grain bowl, and fries!!! 🥹

So delicious. We came here at 1630 right as they opened and there were already 4 people ahead of us. We ordered the pork belly, cucumber salad, and ramen. Everything was delicious. The pork belly was savory and filly, so was the ramen. We enjoyed the happy hour drinks too!

This place was so adorable. I love the location, in and out. The food is good, nothing bad, just not the most flavorful ramen I've ever had; I had the brisket ramen and while the brisket fell apart it had no flavor and the broth wasn't really amazing. Ramen broth should reach up and punch you in the mouth. The Brussels sprouts app was really good. Service was very nice just inconsistent; we had to remind them a few times to bring me just a can of cider but then on the flip side, once we had our food she came back way too often to check on us, like, with our mouths full of food. All in all I love that this place exists and has ramen and other tasty sides and also serves alcohol so I will still definitely be back.

Nice spot, Went there last night. Their was a 45 minute wait time. Rangoons and black Pepper wings were great. The ramen was good a little bland I had to add salt, hot oil and hot sauce to add some flavor to it. The water was given to us warm and I had to ask for ice.

I had really high expectations for Cheu due to going to the center city one quite frequently. It's good but the 10th Street location is better, the brisket ramen seems to have more flavor. I felt the broth was pretty basic during my visit. I don't think I'd go to Fishtown specifically for ramen as there are better restaurants nearby but if it was the only option for whatever reason then sure I'd come here again.

I love it here so much. I come weekly. Sad about the split with nunu. Makes less seating. But the new napa cabbage salad is really just perfect for me and my avocado allergy, it was such a nice portion size and beyond delicious. Love the matzah ball brisket soup! Best tuna rice crackers : staff always amazing and friendly. Never had a bad experience. Always leave full.

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.
Samu El
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.
Donna Marzucco Pylant
My husband had the brisket ramen and I had the curry ramen, and both were absolutely delicious!!! Just the right amount of heat. A wonderful explosion of flavor! We also had the pastrami dumplings, which were equally delicious! The wait staff was excellent! Looking forward to our next visit!
Trevor Dunn
The food and staff was excellent. My wife and I literally didn't have to wait for anything. From getting a table to having our drinks refilled. Every member of the waiting staff did at least one thing for us. That was cool, I've never been treated like that before. The food was great. It came out fast and perfect.
Greg Myers
Cheu Fishtown is a very special place especially after enduring the Whole Foods experiment. Everyone I speak with has very positive comments about the location/setting/staff/food/and overall hospitality shown. Just given a shining review from one of Philly's cuisine critics proves that Cheu is totally commited to their Friends and Family.
John Hovanec
Honestly, the fried chicken sandwich is the best sandwich I’ve ever had.
Jocelyn Grayson
First time at the new location. Had to wait a while for a table for two, but it was worth it. Everything was fantastic. When in doubt, get the black garlic wings.
Lea Coyle
super yummy! was totally what we wanted on the first chilly day of fall :) I was also super happy I could get tofu instead of pork belly in the miso ramen (it still has meat in the broth for any super strict vegetarians or vegans- I am not). only thing I'm bummed about is that there are no veggie dumpling options :/ still highly recommend either way!
Heather Friedman
Killer food, atmosphere, design, hospitality. Don't miss it. Get the brisket ramennnn�
Don Daley Jr
Loved it. A must go place if in the area
Wendy B. Liang
It was great. Food was surprisingly flavorful and delicious. Would go back again for a small get together/date night �
Larry Grogan
Great food, excellent service! Hidden in an unlikely neighborhood.
Joe Wright
Great food and atmosphere! One of our favorites in Fishtown...
Molly Parzen
Wonderful food and service! The black garlic wings and pork buns are particularly delicious.

Great presentation, great tasting food, and pleasant service in a very relaxed and fun atmosphere.
