    Firebird ramen
    Breaynn T.

    I've heard people talk about this place for a few years now and couldn't wait to try. Finally we went. Parking was a bit difficult. You have to park under the overpass and it was very limited. There is an outdoor section with heaters that was useful during the winter. We ordered the Firebird Ramen and it was delicious!!!! Husband ordered the fried rice and it was pretty good. He had to add soy sauce but had a burnt flavor. We also got the hot honey mild baos & that was the best thing we got! Surface was also very good. We brought our baby and there was limited seats, but the server helped us make sure she fit. We would definitely come again!

    It was well worth the wait!! I've been wanting to try their crawfish for a while and I'm so happy I called and was able to get them same day. The spice was just right, the only complaint I would have is there was a lot of baby crawfish in there and claws. I'm not sure if they cook the corn and potatoes separate but the flavor wasn't pronounced but they were still good. There was a live band playing and it wasn't too hot outside. I'll definitely be back to try their regular menu and to get more crawfish.

    The crawfish were amazing. Spiced to perfection. The service was delightful. The live music both visits was the perfect vibe for crawfish on the patio.

    My friends and I had a great time! We had a 4 person party and had just enough space to be comfortable. It can get tight in there but it's popular for good reason. We got the hot honey bao buns and the bread pudding to share and they were both a great start and a great end of the meal. I got the T-bokki and wishing I had more as I'm writing this now.

    It had been years since I had visited Chow Yum, and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! The bao on their happy hour menu are a can't-miss (my favorite was the crispy fish). We also enjoyed the soft shell crab and hot honey chicken bao, curried crab claws, rad Thai, and a rice dish I can't remember the name of. A cozy place with delicious food!

    Pork belly bao & rib stack

    Very impressed with Chow Yum! I normally think fusion restaurants always have meh food and good atmosphere. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the food and drinks here. We sat at the bar and the bartender was sweet. The place is a little cramped inside, but it was also super busy and a Sunday night. Once it started to clear out it felt cozy & the decor adds to the aesthetic of the entire place. We had the 2 special frozen drinks, a snake wrangler & the Bali blast. Both were really tasty and strong. The snake wrangler is a honeydew melon based cocktail and the Bali blast is similar to a blaja blast with a tropical twist. For food we tried the rib stack, pork belly bao, fried fish bao, & the smokehouse fried rice. The rib stack was 10/10 so tender and so much meat and the sauce was addicting. The baos were also a good size and yummy! The fried rice was meh and didn't have much flavor. Overall, we would definitely come again as there's other dishes we want to try and the dessert also sounds bomb.

    This is one of our favorites ! It's always amazing ! And slaps every time. Like you know how you'll go somewhere to get your favorite dish and then one day it taste different... and not better ? Not here. It's delish everytime. In fact I ate all the wings and the pork belly bao buns before I could even take a photo. The house rice is so good we get it as carry out

    Birria tacos and smoked fried rice.

    I have been going to Chow Yum for about 6 months now, always wanting to try their Birria Tacos fusion. Finally, i was able to make it on a Tuesday night. We ordered the Pork Belly Bao Buns to start off. Then had the Birria Tacos and the smoked fried rice. Let me tell you, the food was incredible. Our server had been so nice and attentive. The ambiance is amazing at night time.

    I'm typically not a fan of Asian cuisine/ramen noodles, but this place is seriously so delicious! My friends were craving something different, so we decided on Chow Yum! We went late on a Saturday night, and this place was packed. It is small inside, but luckily for us, a table just had gotten up, so we were sat immediately. There are limited tables both inside and outside, but inside there are tvs and a bar. Also, this place is right under the overpass, so a very convenient location. To start, we got the wings. There are only 6, and they were spicy. I'm not a huge fan of spice, so I thought these were just ok. For an entree, I decided to try the fried chicken Bao buns. WOW! These are packed full of flavor. The Bao bun is sweet but it was paired nicely with the fried chicken strip and soy sauce. One of my favorite bites actually! I wish there were more Bao buns per order because I could have eaten at least 4. My friends got the ramen noodle bowl and a stir fry that they said were delicious. Service was good and food was amazing! I will be back solely for the Bao buns!

    Treated my sister to her birthday lunch here in February 2025. It was my first time dining her, but my sister had been several times. It's near LSU, where she works. Food was different and delicious. Service was good, but a little slow. Not terribly slow though. Haven't been back, but plan on visiting again soon. *Sorry for the late review. I'm catching up on all of the restaurants I've visited for the first time this year."

    Fried rice and tteokbokki

    Food was great! Service could have been better (meaning the server would ask only one person if they needed a cocktail refill and not everyone at the table, there would so many empty dishes at the end of the table, but the server would only grab the empty beer bottle, and finally the server was not be found so someone else came got out tickets). The area and room was great but the changing of the lights was too much because we could barely read our menus.

    This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants, and I crave it often! It's also a great place to visit when it's cold out. The parking situation can be a little tricky, given that there are so many other restaurants around, but don't give up--keep driving around, and you'll eventually find a spot. The drinks are always superb, and the food is incredibly tasty! It's a great spot for a date night or a fun girls' night out. If there aren't any tables available, the bar is a fantastic option! The wait can also be a bit of a pain, but again, just be patient; the best food will soon be in front of you!

    I heard all the rave during crawfish season so I finally got around to coming over here! My honest review on the crawfish was that it is ok. They add some stuff in that you won't get at any other place in BR (edamame, quail eggs and such) and the butter sauce has lemongrass flavors. A twist on a regular south Louisiana boil. The wings were crunchy and quite yummy. Overall the place is small but they move people in and out pretty quick from what I experienced. Inside and outside seating and some anime to enjoy on the bar tv.

    Master Roshi cocktail - very good!

    It's ALL good. If you are sick, get the Firebird as it is comfort food and will open your sinuses! Wings are amazing, as are nap buns.

    We chose Solera Bar & Tasting Room for the last BR restaurant week, in 2024. It was phenomenal. I…read morechose to have the wine pairing with my meal, and my partner had the margarita. Both good choices. Overall, the wine pairing was okay. I like the appetizer pairing of a nice light, white bubbly prosecco. The second was a classic red wine to pair with a steak. The last wine is where I was not impressed. It was a dessert wine that had a smell similar to a distilled whiskey. I took a sip and decided I rather another glass of prosecco. Shout out to the server who was accommodating and swapped out that glass for what I requested. He didn't have to, but he did! The food was mouth watering delicious. We started off with the sauteed shrimp and the piquillo peppers. THANK GOD the piquillo peppers are a Solera regular. I will be getting them again. The shrimp were just okay, nothing out of this world. Second course was the filet with polenta. It was absolutely delicious and packed with flavors that complimented each other well. Final course we had the rum bread pudding and the manchego cheesecake. The manchego cheese is definitely a rich and an acquiring flavor. Without the blueberry sauce, you would think its just a slab of cheese. The rum bread pudding was spectacular. I have never loved a rum sauce with my bread pudding, but the Solera one kept me wanting more. Overall and enjoyable experience, with a couple minor foods that lack the razzle dazzle of a 5 star review.

    Fantastic drinks and small plates! The bar and dining areas are amazing and tastefully decorated…read more The staff were next level- very welcoming and knowledgeable.
