An Unforgettable Feast at Choy If you’re looking for a sign to book a table at Choy, this is it. I went in with high expectations, and somehow, they still managed to blow me away. Let’s start with the absolute star of the night: the duck. I don’t know what kind of magic they’re working in that kitchen, but this was next-level. Crispy, flavorful, and so good that it made us all go quiet for a minute—which, if you know our group, is saying something. Worth every penny. Now, let’s talk wine. The sommelier, Justin, is a wizard. He paired our wines so perfectly with each dish that we started trusting him with life decisions. Service? Impeccable. Our waiter was incredibly accommodating, especially with the gluten-free folks in our group. No eye rolls, no hesitation—just great recommendations and careful attention to detail. That level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated. Overall, Choy is a must-visit. The food is spectacular, the service is top-notch, and if you leave without trying the duck, you’ve made a terrible mistake. I’ll absolutely be back!!
