The Chew Chew has always given a good dining experience. We never have to wait a long time to be served. They seem to always have enough wait staff to accommodate their patrons. The food is good and the drinks excellent. It's our regular "go to" place.

We had reserved a table in the Encore room but were advised they were fully booked even though the room was empty except for one table. Very disappointing.
