I had an amazing in this restaurant. We loved the awesome vibes and the meals. The staff are super welcoming. I’m happy we eventually managed to visit here.

Wonderful new find!Was looking for a fun, interesting place to have lunch with my kids (20s), one of whom lives in Philadelphia (which is why I came to town), and discovered Cheu online. Outdoor seating was available, menu looked awesome, and the timing worked, so off we went. (When we sat down, we took off our masks to chat, but when the server came by, she asked that we put them back on as we'd be doing most of our talking then. All of us realized she was exactly right and appreciated the comment and concern. I report this only to emphasize how conscientious Cheu was being, and that we were appreciative.)Anyway. The food. Outstanding. Looked delicious, and tasted even better. Every bite of my dish (Cold Dragon Noodles, which I highly recommend) burst with flavor. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The noodles were cooked to perfection (not mushy). I didn't try my kids' dishes (because Covid), which were the Sichuan Spicy Noodles and the Brisket Ramen, but I can report that they enjoyed every bite as well. I also had a maybe jasmine, maybe lavender, iced tea that was crisp and refreshing (and not too sweet). On top of that, the service was perfect. I have a food allergy, and our server checked and came back with a list of foods I should avoid. I got to sample the iced tea before ordering. And our food came out probably within 10 minutes, so no waiting. We never felt rushed, and never felt ignored. Just right!Bonus: Cheu isn't far from Old City/South Street, so we got to explore a nice area after our delicious meal. I'd come back here in a heartbeat. Super experience all around. Loved it.

The food/drinks were great and such a good price for happy hour. Unfortunately, the waitstaff was quite rude and condescending, which killed the celebratory vibes my friends and I had when we went for my birthday.

I go to this great spot from time to time! This is my favorite restaurant to eat. I go there regularly. The food is just great, the team is helpful and the prices are fair. I like eating in this place over a nice lunch.

This place never disappoints. They have fresh food for affordable prices, there are no long waits even when the spot is packed.

Ingredients do not blend or complement each other. Tasted pretty bad

Brisket Ramen is too die for! Very tasty and fresh ingredients and ramen is very filling.

Got Cheu take-out today, after long hiatus due to job change and COVID. Still as good as ever! Red curry beef dumplings, brisket ramen, and miso ramen (not pictured). All savory, fresh, complex, and complementary flavors. Delicious. Now...where can we find some homemade ice cream for dessert?! (In East Falls & Roxborough, that would be Custard, Cakes & Creamery.)
Definitely a spot worth stopping by, the food is good and well prepared, the costs are reasonable and it is consistently well organized in here. 5 stars.

This place holds such a special place in my heart. The atmosphere is intriguing the second you walk into this hidden gem. I haven't had one bowl I didn't like, but I especially enjoy the spicy noodles and miso ramen. Best comfort food in Washinton square west!

One of my favorite ramen spots in the city. I usually get their matzo-ball ramen and get it spicy!

This place is super duper cute and super duper small lol. There isn't a whole lot of seating, so it's best for 1-3 people. One thing that you notice off the bat is the music. They play hip hop music (but the classics though), which I personally appreciate. I ordered the iced tea of the day, black garlic wings, and the brisket ramen. Let me just say, before I talk about the food, that the service was wonderful! My boyfriend and I felt super welcomed and well taken care of the whole night. Now to the food... my iced tea was perfect, not too sweet and very refreshing. I believe it was jasmine tea or something or the other. Lol sorry can't remember. The wings were perfect and fresh! We legit couldn't eat them for a good 3min because they came out piping hot, just like I like it! The skin was crispy and the sauce was wonderful! Loved it! My brisket ramen was very flavorful and I thoroughly enjoyed it. To be really nitpicky, I've had better ramen broth and I could've done without the matza ball (will replace with an egg next time). However, those two things were pretty minor because overall it was a delicious dish! I would def come back! I'm wondering if this place is owned by the same people who own Bing Bing in south philly because their menu graphics looked similar

I love this place for their modern and delicious take on classic bowls of ramen! They have a fairly small menu, but they have perfected the items that they offer. Cheu is a fairly small joint with mostly bar seating. It's super cozy and perfect for a date night or after work happy hour. I've had both the Miso Ramen and the Brisket Ramen. Both bowls make great options.
