Cocktails were top notch and service was excellent. The Gouda Mac and cheese was a bit “soupy” and not sure if this was intentional. Flavor very good though. Very nice place and we'll be back.
Very consistent, very good most of the time, servers are terrific. Especially Jake, good kid!
We had a wonderful meal with great service from Rebecca. I had the scallops with corn risotto and hubby had the jambalaya. Their edamame was delicious and so was the key lime. Can't wait to go back.
Always a pleasure to go to Chew Chew Always have a great time. The service is great, the food is excellent and the variety of food is great. I would highly recommend Chew Chew to everyone who enjoys good food, great service and a great place for any occasion
Not my first time there, although it has been a while, but still love it! Great food and ambiance!
Another wonderful New Year's Eve dinner at The Chew Chew! Our waitress, Josephine was wonderful! Fun, personable, sparkly and made excellent suggestions. The Artichoke Heart Tempura needs to be added to the everyday menu! So good! From the hot bread, cocktails, starters, dinners and desserts, everything was fantastic!
We love The Chew Chew and highly recommend it for the food, drinks, service, atmosphere, location, etc. On our most recent visit, the service was a little slower than usual. Not horribly so, but the pace of the meal wasn't as spot-on as it usually is. Because we've not experienced that here before, I'm going to say it was a fluke. We will absolutely go back because as I said, everything about this gem of a restaurant is worth it!
Chew Chew is one of our favorite places to have a cocktail and eat and just enjoy the end of a day. The drinks are always spot on and perfect Food and ambience are great.

We recently dined at The Chew Chew while visiting Chicago. Our server was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and very accommodating with dietary restrictions. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, truly one of the better meals we had during our trip.
Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by how rushed we felt throughout dinner. The bus person was extremely quick to clear plates—so much so that one of our party members still had food in their mouth when their plate was cleared away. Our dishes disappeared the moment a fork hit the table, and dessert was never even offered.
Our reservation was at 5:00 p.m., and we were finished and out the door by 6:36 p.m., so it certainly wasn’t a case of us lingering. As we stepped out, we could see two new parties being seated immediately at our table. While we understand the restaurant was busy, it took away from what could have been a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience.

We have been to Chew Chew Cafe several times and have never been disappointed. It is busy enough that you do need a reservation on weekends. Ambiance is enjoyable. The service is outstanding- the servers really hustle! Menu options are perfect and priced correctly. Chef does a fabulous job of preparing a great meal, lovely presentation and very delicious. Drinks are delicious as well.
Our server at The Chew Chew was amazing—friendly, attentive, and very accommodating to dietary needs. The food was excellent, but we felt rushed out by an over-eager bus person who cleared plates the instant we finished (one of us was still chewing!). Dessert wasn't even offered. Our 5:00 p.m. reservation ended by 6:36 p.m., and two new parties were seated as we left. Great food, but the pace made it hard to relax and enjoy.
Food and service was excellent.
