Was Jennifer Scobee at Chowsun a mag?
This restaurant is fantastic! I ordered the Pad Thai and it was cooked to perfection with delicious noodles and sauce. There were plenty of peanuts too! My husband tried the Mami soup and loved it. The waitress provided excellent service. We are already looking forward to our next visit! View all feedback.

What Tony Joris dislikes about Chowsun:
Sad to say under cooked orange chicken. Still pink. BBQ cooked day before. Serve cold. But the service was good. Wished I got the older gentleman’s name. Mike Money warned me about the food being cold it looks like they just buy it from Lotus next-door and heat it up. View all feedback.

We ordered lumpia, kare kare, green curry, sinigang, and turon at this restaurant. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The only issue was that their website stated they closed at 8 PM, but their door indicated they actually closed at 7:30 PM. Despite this, the staff was gracious and allowed us to stay and eat until we left at 8:30 PM.

Solid food our first time trying. Got two different Philippine dishes and the Philippine egg rolls. Didn't know what to expect however the flavor was good but I just assumed it would be spicer. I'm sure next time I can request heat levels but we took takeout to the brewery next door and ate on the patio. They also do dine in and they were very nice over the phone order and in person when I picked up. Next time I'll ask questions when I get the takeout and just order in person as we do frequent the brewery. Great to know they also have Thai food. Looking forward to trying them again! Like that it's family owned and not a chain restaurant. Market next door also looked like it had fun snacks and groceries to try for the home cooking. Thanks for the good lunch!
