I'm so disappointed to see Chu's Cafe has closed. What happened? After not being able to get through to the restaurant on the phone, I drove there to see what was going on and there was a sign on the door saying it's under new management and undergoing renovations until July, when it will reopen as an Asian Fusion restaurant. I sincerely hope the new place will have the same cooks as Chu's Cafe because that food was the best Chinese food around! So many friends...

Stopped by to pick up lunch for my family. All together six dishes ranging from apps to ramen to dry pot. All are delicious and of quality i can compare to NYC Chinese food establishments, not Costco knock-offs. No hassle pick up and pleasant staff. Definitely recommend over other neighborhood places of same cuisine.

Usually their Lunch Combo is decent, but this time we went for dinner n got Chicken with Broccoli. I’m not sure what kind of chicken this is, it tasted like styrofoam… maybe just stick to the Lunch Specials and away from Chicken with Broccoli. This isn’t the only time went to Chu’s n wasn’t satisfied with our Order… Might just be the last too… I’d go back for LoMein
