Enjoyed my visit here for happy hour. We ordered the Rib Stack, Hot Honey Wings, Veggie Fried Rice, Hot Honey Chicken Bao Bun, and Crispy Fish Bao Bun. Overall, everything was good. The standout for me was the veggie fried rice. It had great flavor, and I'd honestly come back for that alone. The Snake Wrangler drink was also a favorite. The only downside was the hot honey. It was very light on both the wings and the bao bun, so the flavor didn't come through as much as expected. Service was efficient and attentive. It's a nice, quaint spot with a cozy patio and indoor seating. Still a solid happy hour option, and I'd definitely return. read more

Started with hot sake and crispy pig ears. Perfection as always. I tried the new moon fire dumplings...no steam or heat coming from them upon arrival. Try one and they are stone cold but good flavor. I asked Courtney the server if they were meant to be served room temperature (first time having so wasn't Sure). She takes the whole bowl. A nice little bit later my bowl is returned just as my tikka masala queso Is arriving. From the looks of my bowl and the broth it was nuked. Heated in the microwave which was annoying bc I wanted to try these fresh for the first time and also more importantly I ordered them with intentions of eating 2 now and taking the other 3 to go so I could enjoy my queso there. Dumplings can't and shouldn't reheated multiple times over and especially not even once at the restaurant that's serving them. I was honestly just hoping they would have dropped a fresh hot spoon or two of the broth : sauce they were in. Very upsetting for the evening because I was excited to try something new read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Chow Yum has been in Baton Rouge for six years and last night was my first time eating there. The service was great and the food was amazing. I recommend the Danger Noodles. I love when I get umami and this dish took it to a whole new level!!! The inside space is tight but neighborly. The menu is pretty much full of awesomeness and a recommend to everyone!!! read more

We went on Friday night at 7:30pm, were immediately seated at a two person table with a shared bench, but we felt it was too tight of a squeeze between the neighboring tables, so we asked to move to the bar. Really glad we did bc the bartender was great. She was super friendly, helpful, and she kindly turned the TV to men's basketball per my boyfriend's request. The bar was really nice and clean, and I loved the lighting. I ordered a featured frozen drink - the coconut mojito, which I loved. I normally don't like mojitos, but I found the coconut balanced the mint nicely, and made for a very refreshing cocktail. My boyfriend got the Master Roshi, which we both thought was very good. For our entrées we ordered the Dan Dan Noods and the Crispy Fish Curry Ramen. The Dan Dan Noods were amazing and had SO much flavor. I did not really care for the kimchi I chose to add on, but I'd never tried it before, so that's no fault of Chow Yum's. I loved how spicy my Dan Dan Noods were, however, if you don't enjoy spiciness, the Crispy Fish Curry Ramen would be the one to go with as it was much tamer. We found it to be a little lacking for this reason, but it was still very tasty, and the fish was delicious! Overall, had a great time, with great employees, great food, and great drinks! Hope to return some day :) read more

This place is a small gem! It's a wide variety of Asian food that is very good. Packs a punch with the heat and flavor! The drinks are also awesome! However, everything is slow and nothing is quick from the service to the kitchen it's slow! But worth it! read more

Delish. Everything we got was amazing..well except my husbands ramen. I tasted it and the broth was so bland and flavorless. The pork belly bao is so much better to me than the hot honey chicken. Also the crispy pig ears were delish...who wouldve thought lol read more

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.

Food: delicious! We had the Bombay chicken (flavorful, would have liked more of the sauce with it), Bao (didn't try but husband said it was amazing), Firebird ramen (perfect on a chilly rainy day), & yaki saki noodles (loved the tofu in it along with the noodles). Service: We were seated quickly at the bar despite it being very busy (although was quite awkward with a low high chair). Took a VERY long time to get our food which was the only downside, but as stated above, worth the wait for the food! Ambience: decor is great! read more

Delicious is an understatement! The rib stack was a symphony of all my favorite flavors and textures, and the yuzu-blueberry margaritas were dangerously easy to drink. Shout out to Courtney who gave excellent service at the bar! 10/10 read more

Great atmosphere, fun location under overpass, variety of beverage options. My friend mentioned it and I had similar thought. Server was helpful knowledge but almost painfully chipper in a unauthentic, fake type of way. However, we were only ppl outside and weren't forgotten- that's good- but the robotic interactions were a bit strange, unsettling. Tasty snack(pork belly bao)/beverage (Tokyo mule) after walking lakes. read more

For a dining EXPERIENCE, visit Chow Yum. Chef is highlighted in Baton Rogue tour magazines and for a very good reason. Let's start with location...under a highway overpass! Park where you can find it. Blew my mind. Restaurant itself is very hip with both indoor and outdoor seating. Started with a bourbon pour that I haven't had before and it did not disappoint. Happy hour until 6:00 features fried pork ear salad and bao buns...if you get there in time you can make a meal of that itself. We had two noodle dishes, both inventive and excellent. I will say both entrees were delicious but VERY rich and we (2) could easily have shared one order. If I was recommending, I'd say hit happy hour on your first visit. After 6:00 it gets very busy, even on a week night. Deservedly so. read more

Good place to get Asian food around Baton Rouge. The Ramen was pretty flavorful. The pork was good although there's a decent amount that was too chewy to eat. The broth was amazing. The noodles was average. The rest of the toppings were good. The chicken bao that I got was good. The batter of the chicken was OK, I wish it tasted more like a chicken Karaage but the flavors of the bao itself was pretty good. I'd come back if I'm in the area. read more

Went here for a date night and loved the ambiance. This place is hands down some of my favorite food in Baton Rouge. It's original and unique with delicious food. My favorite was the smokehouse brisket fried rice... absolutely insane. The waguy dumplings were also a 10/10. Lastly, we got hot honey chicken and pork belly boa buns. Me and my boyfriend definitely preferred the pork belly. The hot honey was overhyped for me but still delicious. Service was good. It wasn't busy when we went. So had no problems. read more

The food at Chow Yum Phat is always amazing. They cook everything perfectly, and the seasoning is incredible. We've never been disappointed.

If you're looking for something a little different and apart from your normal Louisiana cuisine, check out this cute, intimate spot under the Perkins Road Overpass area. Asian fusion has become more popular over the years with Chow Yum leading the way. First off, staff has always been very friendly and helpful, whether I've grabbed to-go or dined in person. The cocktails are very delicious and appealing to the eye. My absolute favorite thing I have had here is the Chow Style Crawfish. Perfectly and uniquely flavored with butter and lemongrass. The accouterment you can add includes potatoes, edamame (who'd have thunk), and you can add delicious quail eggs. This is obviously seasonal, and you need to follow their Instagram to make sure you catch them and reserve ahead of time. Next up, their wings are delicious, probably why they're award winning. I had the Champ Wings on my last visit, and it was just the perfect serving and so tender. The meat melted from the bones. I do find that a lot of their dishes contact an overload of sodium. I've had the ramen and a few of the other dishes and was turned off due to the salt overpowering the meal. It's the nature of the beast with a lot of ramen and Asian dishes, but I find here, it's a bit extreme. Check out Chow Yum, as well as the other area restaurants! read more

Having never been, but hearing really great things about this restaurant we decide to go last Saturday. It was an early afternoon. (11:30am) it was pretty cold and windy outside, so we were looking for a comfortable seat inside. There were two of us. 4 tables were occupied. All else were open. There was one incredibly small two top table. And seating, which were high chairs, at the bar. (I'm 5' 0", so high bar stool type seating is very uncomfortable for me.) The hostess insisted she could not seat us at a four top table In a restaurant that was 3/4 empty. I said, so you're seriously telling me you're not going to seat us Other than at the incredibly small two top table, one of the high barstools at the bar, or outside in the cold. She replied yes, that is what I'm saying. So we left We went a few doors down to an Italian restaurant, walked in and were immediately greeted by the owner (found out later) who said hey pick yourself a seat. Needless to say, they got our business I'm still pretty flabbergasted we were not seated at Chow Yum. Bad business practice, Chow Yum. I'll never try your food now and will actively discourage others from doing so. Robin read more

Great lunch! My 12yr old and I visited one Saturday afternoon around 3pm. The place is small inside but cute and cozy! There is a nice bar and a limited number of tables. They also have nice patio seating. Our waitress was friendly and gave us great suggestions since this was our first visit. We started with the Chow Yum Spritzer and it was a cute purple delicious drink! Very refreshing. My daughter ordered a ramen bowl and I had the Chum wings with added corner store rice. Let me tell you, this is THE best fried rice I've ever had. The only thing missing were some shrimp. The taste and texture of the rice and veggies was delicious. My daughter said her ramen bowl was pretty good. When we got ready to go our waitress took our plates and bagged our left overs for us. Overall I enjoyed and will definitely return! read more

This used to be one of my favorites that I visited often but it has gone down. The past couple times I went, it just wasn't the same. I went once recently & my water tasted like whiskey. I'm not sure how that even happens. Also the cloth napkins smelled like mildew. The next time I went my fried dumplings were cold. We sent them back & were told we could get another batch at a discounted price because we ate some of the first batch. I'm not sure how you know your food is cold unless you eat some. I did tell the manager that was unacceptable & she ended up just taking the cold food back & took off the bill & we went without hot dumplings but I think that's ridiculous it was even proposed to me. Mistakes happen & thats ok but you need to take care of it. If I make mistake at my job, I must correct it so not sure why she expected me to eat cold food or pay extra for them to fix hot food. I don't plan to go back. read more
