Noodle bowl
Kevin W.

This is one of the best restaurants in Chattanooga. It's not the cleanest looking restaurant, but it is a great bowl of noodles. They also offer a ton of spices including Sichuan lajiao.

Stop reading and head over here! Favorite food of our trip to Chatt. Mom and pop Mongolian grill that offers both the typical build your own bowl OR the option to do a seafood boil. Highly customizable, as you grab a bowl and make your way down the food bar to choose proteins, veggies, seasonings, and then build your own sauce bowl. At the end of the buffet, you hand them your bowls, tell them what starch you want (rice, brown rice, or noodles) and they hand you a number to place at your table. Our drinks and soup were there waiting for us when we got back to our table. So many options to choose from and our table faves were steak, shrimp, chicken, pineapple, broccoli, water chestnuts, zucchini, carrots, and the noodles. Make sure to utilize the seasonings, as we had to add more once we tasted our food. Favorite kid sauce combo was teriyaki, sweet and sour, with sesame sauce. I really liked sesame, teriyaki, Chao favorite, and a touch of Szechuan (which has a touch of garlic and chili pepper) We had discussed driving down to Chatt for the day, specifically to come back to this restaurant, if that tells you how much we enjoyed our meal. Our picky children proclaimed that this was the "best restaurant EVER," so you know it's good!

Bowl with fried rice and all the vegetables I desired!

Great hibachi food. Fresh bowl with fried rice. Quick and courteous customer service. Very spacious for sit down. Place was very clean. Also check out the women's bathroom. Everything checked out in decent order. You get your money's worth. Food is very tasty

Young gentleman that made sure I had my raw garlic from the back!!

I'm doing this review before receiving my food due to the best customer service I've ever received from n any dining experience. The whole staff from the gentleman doing the seating to the young woman behind the counter explaining how everything works to the gentleman who you give your bowl to so they can cook it for you, I'm the extra raw garlic guy!! If I lived around here, I would have definitely be a regular.

My boyfriend always talks about how he loves to go to chaos's for lunch with his work group. He finally decided to take me and this place is so delicious. They have so many choices to choose from. The house favorite sauce is a 10/10.

The food is always amazing! I love the variety and the fresh ingredients. The staff is very friendly as well.

Food and drinks and she came by often to check on us and there were several other tables she was tending to and she was running her tail off with a smile on her face. The food was delicious! Fresh, hot, and tasty he best Asian food I have had in Chattanooga area in a long, long, very long time! I wished I lived closer to eat there more often and at a great price. Plenty of food and we both had plenty of leftovers for another meal or two. Atmosphere was a little dated but that is fine. It was clean and that matters more to me than what the color scheme is. There no holes in the booth benches or anything like that. Julie's, we will see you again soon!

I know it's a touristy, but the food guide reviews gave me hope Unfortunately, the food was pretty bad. The buffalo fish was by far the worst thing we got. It had a very strange chemical taste to it, which I've seen other reviews mention as well. The other entrees we got were mediocre

My egg rolls were extra crispy (read burnt) and even though they were a large portion, they apparently spent all their money on the crust because the filling was a prime example of minimalism. They have a little cardboard, bottom in the brown bag for takeout. Don't be fooled in thinking it's for support, it's for catching the grease. The crispy noodles for the soup was excellent. (always try to find a little silver lining in a thundercloud). The service was pretty good, I can't speak to the ambience because it was takeout. My recommendation for the ownership team here? Have you thought about road construction? Interior painting? Do you have any hobbies? Something you're good at? Because you suck at this. I now have to go give a good review for someplace else as I try to balance the good reviews and bad reviews on my profile. Honestly, to find a step up from this, though, it won't be hard. I got a traffic ticket the other day ...and the officer was really nice. I think I'm gonna say something nice on that review.
