ChouChou French Bistro

The meal was excellent. We both had the cassoulet, a dish I've always wanted to try, and it did not disappoint. Our server was attentive and personable. When I asked for a wine recommendation, he steered us to one of the less expensive bottles, an Oregon Pinot Noir and it was the perfect choice. I liked it better than a more expensive French wine I'd ordered there before. Chou Chou is a hidden gem in the neighborhood and well worth a visit. We'll be back for our anniversary in October.

The prefixe menu provided excellent choices of food. We never felt rush to finish each course. Each entree was delicous, prepared well and excellent presentation. The service was excellent; deserved more than a 5 stars. We had a crab salad dish and asked for a container. We found out that the crab salad was refrigerated until we were ready to leave. That was impressive. We'll all come back again.

We have been at the restaurant 4 times. The first 3, the food was fresh and prepared very well. This last time, the mussels seemed old and over cooked - very chewy. The duck wellington had too much dough.

Food is always delicious and service very good. Such a neighborhood gem with either a la carte or an amazing fixed menu!

We brought friends for dinner and all had a great meal with excellent service and an atmosphere conducive to being able to talk and hear each other without disturbing others. We had some of our favorite unique dishes we come here for, including mussels, avocado crab salad and duck confit Wellington.

We had a nice dinner at ChouChou. We started with the tomato soup and the onion soup, and for entrees we tried the steak and the mushroom ravioli. Everything was delicious.

We had an excellent meal.,at a reasonable price. Their prixe fixed menu for 65$ offered great options. Our waiter was attentive, yet not overbearing. Very charming restaurant. Definitely would go back.

Not crowded and “cute” inside. Street parking only- it's on a busy corner so easy to miss. Food was really good, not as great as we expected based on people who referred us there (in my opinion l). Service was outstanding. Ambience was very quiet and slow (early dinner). The staff is what made it stand out- and the dessert was the winner. French onion soup was good. Asparagus cooked to perfection. Beef was ok. Crab salad ok. And mussels good.

Delicious and cozy. We will be back! Loved the soufflé and French onion soup. Timing and flavors were wonderful.

It was my first time dining at this restaurant. I seats like to support local businesses. It's a cozy and authentic French bistro. The pre-fix menu provides a wide selection at a very reasonable price. The staff were very attentive and nice. The beef entree was kind of too salty. Other than that, every dish was good. Loved the Chouchou mussels. The mango panna cotta was delicious. Parking is not too easy near that area, but still ok on the nearby streets. Too bad that guests cannot park at the parking lot next to it as they are reserved for SFMTA at all hours. Overall, I enjoyed dining at this place. Thank you for the complimentary birthday ice cream! It's a neighborhood gem in the Forest Hill/Sunset neighbor. Will visit again!

Was very crowded with only one waiter and one bus person. Very friendly but service slow and sporadic. Rather long wait for food and not all three of us received our food at the same time.despite this would gladly return again but maybe not on a weekend evening.

Terrific classic french bistro food and attentive service...planning to dine there regularly.

My husband and I love going there after work!

This was terrible. The food was just passable , and bland . The service was terrible, asked for bread 3 times before they gave us any , leave the other 2 baskets empty. The atmosphere was lacking all together, they had white table cloths but they put white paper over them and even those didnt fit. We asked them when we got there to please turn up heat because the place was freezeing and it didn't change . Not a pleasant experience at all and the worst part because we were a party of 8 they added a 20 percent tip on the bill that wasnt deserved on any level. We were there for a early dinner so it wasnt busy.
