If I could give ChouChou 6 stars, I would. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Our server (I think he said his name was Andrew) was beyond attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was incredible. The only thing that I could complain about is that I have not been here before! We will for sure be back.
