We had a reservation but waited 15 minutes for so-so food. The waitstaff was nice, but didn't make up for the mediocre food.

Delicious food, absolutely great service, edgy decor, very reasonably priced and quiet enough to converse easily with dinner companions - I highly recommend it.

I took my family there to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had a large party (nine) including two small children. Chu has an upstairs dining area where our very long table was set up. It proved to be excellent for the little ones and provided the perfect environment for a great family meal. The food is awesome, the staff attentive, and the price reasonable.
This is a spot I HIGHLY recommend!

This a spot that takes traditional Chinesse and turns it on its ear. Very eclectic mix of flavor, textures, and visuals. A nice spot to meet a few friends but also very appropriate for a nice meal with that special someone. I would most certainly recommend Chu to anyone! I was very happy with the menu and drink selection. I am a former bartender/waiter and am very picky about my drinks. I was pleased and Chu was a 10+ in my book.

Chu's food is amazing and service excellent. I had the best Ma Pa Tofu ever at Chu's the other day. The only thing I would ask for is a little bit warmer temperature in the restaurant in the winter.

Overall, we had a good experience at Chu. The service was good to very good. We really liked the ambiance. The food, however, was a bit inconsistent. Some meets were a bit tough. Some foods were delicious. Nothing was bad, but generally it ranged from great to just okay. For the price, I would have hoped for all the food to be great.
