Wings !
Ray C.

I felt the need to update my review after my last visit at the ever so inspiring Chow Main located in downtown Baton Rouge. I got word that they incorporated asian fried wings into their menu at this restaurant and for how much I love asian fried chicken I felt the need to try it out asap. They had numerous of different flavors but we decided to try a few of them which were the choo-choo, miso honey, daosi gravy, and lastly the kung's POW which was a spicy dry rub I wanted to try. As you can tell by the photos I uploaded of the chicken which looked amazing and tasted even better! The most suprising was the daosi wings which consisted of a black bean gravy which has alot of umami flavor. The daosi wings was spectacular with how much flavor I was getting from the gravy, I was constantly dipping my wings into the pool of umami packed black bean flavor. I think if I had any rice on the side I would've finished the daosi wings gravy all the way! The choo choo wings was great as well, they had a very subtle sweetness as well as some good heat to it. Kung's POW wings contained a spicy dry rub on it that really had me constantly licking my fingers to get as much flavor as I can. Lastly the Miso honey which honestly might've been my favorite really quenched my craving of asian fried chicken in south Louisiana. The Miso honey had such a nice subtle honey sweetness that was not overly sweet or salty from the miso in it as well. Chow Main strives to constantly improve their menu as well as flavor without sacrificing simplicity. I can honestly say that Chow Main may as well be my favorite restaurant I discovered in 2020 even though the year isn't over. They have left such a everlasting impression on me through the few times I've been that I'm excited to see what they will bring next and look forward to the next time I'm back!

Today's special. Hamburger steak over lo mein, mushrooms and roasted Brussel sprouts. Not bad... not bad at all.

I still don't think the prices match the food. But I had lunch here today because I needed something fast and quick, and my experience was a lot more pleasant than the last one. The food was a lot better, in quality and freshness. Still, I don't think I would crave going back, but it gets brown points for being something you can really pick up on the go.

Roasted Chicken Plate

Chow Main is a great place to grab a quick lunch that is very reasonably priced considering the amount of food that you receive in you order. I really enjoyed the roasted chicken and they offer a nice variety of side options to choose from. The staff was incredibly helpful and the owner personally came out to thank me for trying them which was very thoughtful. My only concern was that some of the food was a tad greasy for my taste which hindered my attempt at eating healthy sides.

Fried rice, spicy chicken, Brussels sprouts, double broccoli, roasted garlic and teriyaki sauce!

See all

Umami Japanese Bistro - Snowcrab salad

Umami Japanese Bistro

Stopped in for a late lunch and had the place to myself. Upon walking in I was greeted with a smile…read moreand given the option to sit where I'd like. Started off with the pork bao bun! Great pork flavor and the greens were crunch and crispy that added great freshness to it. There was also a sauce that added nice flavor. Had some Philadelphia rolls to eat and kept it basic. Overall they tasted great and enjoyed my meal. This is a nice big space and overall had a great dining experience.

* the egg in my Ramen tasted rotten*…read more Well, that was a good hook, wasn't it, I felt like the restaurant still deserve five stars, the best restaurant in my opinion in Baton Rouge besides Soji. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice, the menu had pictures and was more extensive than I thought. The service here was great. The food came out fast and here are my highlights. I got the hibachi Crudo and that was pretty good! Good flavor and good quality. next, the sushi that I got was a very delicious, I love coconut flavors with sushi, the sauce that came with was pretty good. Good quality again and was very refreshing. The Ramen was the best part of the meal, one of the biggest Rams have I've had and for the price it was already worth it. Great presentation with a load of toppings. The quality of the toppings were great, but again, just like my first sentence, the egg felt and tasted rotten which ruined the whole mood but again the Ramen was one of the best taste of Ramen I've had. The Ramen was a bit salty but overall, if I were to come back, I would get the Ramen again, I highly recommend!

I ordered PF Chang's to-go and overall had a really good experience. I got Chang's Spicy Chicken…read morewith brown rice, crab wontons, chicken lettuce wraps with romaine lettuce, and key lime pie. The Chang's Spicy Chicken was delicious, as usual, and full of flavor. My only disappointment was that the portion seemed smaller than what I normally get when dining in. I also requested it extra spicy, but it really wasn't spicy at all. The chicken lettuce wraps were perfect. I substituted romaine lettuce for iceberg, and the lettuce was fresh, crisp, and not torn or browned at all, which I really appreciated. The crab wontons were crispy and delicious, and the sauce that came with them added great flavor. The key lime pie was also very good, although the portion felt a little small for the price. It came with a sauce on the side that was pretty bland, but I was glad it was separate so I could leave it off. Overall, everything tasted great and I enjoyed the meal. A little more consistency with portion sizes and spice level would have made it a full 5 stars.

Greeted immediately and seated within just a minute or two and then it goes down hill…read more After 10 minutes our server came and took our drink order and each piece of the process was slow as hell. Never offered any additional info such as appetizers selection, lunch specials, drinks specials. Finally lunch came and 80% rice and 15% meat and 5% green onions. In the picture it appeared to be green beans to find out they were green onions which was disappointing. Refill on my sweet tea was unsweetened tea which he blamed on a bad batch....lol. Got my ticket and checked out up front. This is my second time to this location and the first time was amazing and this time was less than satisfactory. The food was good and the sauce was delicious so that is this reviews saving grace
