This is our second time dining at Casa Chow... we loved it. Sadly some of the menu items we really enjoyed on our first visit were no longer on the menu at our visit less than two weeks later, but the food was still very tasty and service was very good. Thank you!

The food was unbelievable as always. If there was another bartender on, I think we would’ve got our drinks as quickly as I like. A nice touch that the owner came around and asked all of the diners if they were having a good experience. I would eat here every night if the bone marrow was put back on the menu
