Sarah CassidyOctober 1, 2016Brisket was good. Miso was amaze balls! Having eaten at some of the best ramen places in Japan, I have to say this holds up. It's a twist on traditional ramen. And yes I ate my entire bowl.
Martu LoncaMarch 8, 2019Black garlic wings + coconut curry ramen are must tries. The brisket in the ramen brisket is to die for - however the broth tastes quite fishy - the flavors do not balanced very well. Cool vibes!
EaterOctober 8, 2013What started out as a place we hoped would have good ramen, Cheu Noodle Bar is Philly's home for truly creative Asian snacks and small bites, as well as noodles. [Eater 38 Member]
Jeremy JacobowitzApril 20, 2015This is the best restaurant I've ever been to! AMAZING vibe, fantastic food, and super cool drinks! Check out their brisket matzo ball ramen for the perfect Jewish Asian fusion!
Serious EatsDecember 11, 2013Washington Square West's hipster-y, alternative noodle bar that dishes out ramen as well as any traditional Japanese soup shop, not to mention a number of other tasty Asian favorites.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014We think Cheu Noodle Bar is one of the best deals in town with smart dishes showcasing amazing ingredients. We loved the Bolognasian – minced pork, watercress, horseradish and the Crispy Rice Cakes.
ChenyuApril 13, 2013Pork belly buns (w chilli) and ramen are amazing ! Chicken wings also top notch(eat the green pepper) - (from someone who has tried ippudo& momofuku famous buns)
Brendan RastetterAugust 7, 2014The beef brisket ramen is great, but the best thing on the menu is the pork belly buns. $3 per bun, but worth it. They're very filling. 4 or 5 would make a decent meal.
Philadelphia MagazineAugust 5, 2014Turn your gaze to the chalkboard specials, and let it drift down to the desserts. If it’s your lucky night, they’ll include Bubbie’s Banana Bread. Read more
Ruben DuAugust 18, 2015Everything was delicious! Get there early during the day or evening because it is a small space and you might have to wait a little. It'll be worth it though!
Brisket ramen and chicken wings are both big winners. Wish they still had the BBQ pig tails, which were incredible.
Brook ShelleyJune 5, 2015Damn good miso ramen and beer on tap. Folks who work here are friendly, and the music is good too.
Bret MarsSeptember 27, 2014This place is AMAZING!!! When in Philly, you have to try this place. Non traditional ramen type dishes. I've never had a bad meal.
Chefs FeedAugust 30, 2016"Seriously, get any dumpling they make. They have a menu that changes a lot, so order everything that looks good – it might not be there the next time you visit." - Chef Christopher Kearse Read more
Nayan WaliaJanuary 10, 2018Coconut Curry Noodles are the best. I come here regularly just for these. Their winter seasonal Brussels sprouts are always good too.
Philly.comOctober 10, 2013Asian noodles. Hipsters. Rock 'n' roll. Canned beers. Graffitied walls. Oh yes, and the delicious black garlic wings. Read more
Natalya VelkyApril 7, 2013This new little joint is awesome! Great food, staff and decor. The juice of the day was phenomenal. This will definitely become a regular place for me
Larisa GrollemondFebruary 15, 2016Some of the best ramen in Philly, it's a little small on the inside so you might have to wait, but it's worth it!
Lauren MacMarch 23, 2017Miso is great, service is quick and attentive. Come during happy hour for discounts on drinks and appetizers!
Canan TanırApril 6, 2019Great food all around, very interesting cokctails... some busy days there might be some wait, but it’s worth it!
Becki FrieiefnfnMarch 27, 2016Coconut curry noodles add soft egg!!! 🍲🍳 absolutely phenomenal. Currently have hibiscus lavender iced tea on tap!
Reginald Good`May 29, 2016I ordered the bacon & kimchi rice bowl and wanted noodles instead it was amazing and the staff there are awesome.- Nayan WaliaMarch 27, 2017Coconut curry noodles are a favorite by everyone. And the brussel sprouts, when in season, are must haves!
The pork belly buns are to die for! Pork belly ramen and duck pho were super tasty as well. Can't wait to try more!
Ryan HandrahanFebruary 17, 2015Dumplings were killer, playing Bill Withers and super cool atmosphere. Wish I had one back home.
Michael CarrabineJune 27, 2017Definitely sit at the counter so you can chat with the chef and see the magic happen.
Celeste MerriweatherMay 11, 2016Excellent food and nice atmosphere. Very cozy space that I look forward to visiting again.
Melania SpagnoliDecember 9, 2014Really nice choice of noodles, really a cozy place. Share chicken wings and broccoli as sides
ReginaApril 28, 2013EVERYTHING IS AMAZING On this menu. Noodles are delish and banana bread(if they have) is a must try.
Coconut curry with rice noodles is awesome. Miso ramen is meh. Broccoli with Vietnamese sausage is good.
Adam HJuly 26, 2015If there's a wait, leave your number and grab a beer at Strangelove's or Varga Bar. Because you should wait, and it likely won't be too long.
Courtney KleinApril 4, 2016The rangoons were great. I may never be able to eat any other rangoons ever again!
Campbell BirdJanuary 12, 2015Tasty ramen, but not as good as Terakawa. Black garlic wings were great though.
- Anneliese KingFebruary 14, 2015Oodles of noodles, so delicious. Puffy crunchy wings and tangy pig tails.
By far the best ramen in Philadelphia!!! The long beans are also my fav yummy.
Yoel RothApril 13, 2013The brisket is to die for. And the lamb neck. And, honestly, everything else.
