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.

Our food was delicious. Halibut outstanding. Varied menu. Prices reasonable. High noise level, even though not crowded. We would have appreciated if waitress came back to check on us. Too bad they didn't have a bar or we would have moved there after dinner. I would recommend a visit.
