Reviews
We decided to try Chewology, a modern Taiwanese restaurant, for a fun night out. The space was warm, inviting, and buzzing with conversation — the kind of place where you instantly know the chef is passionate about what’s on your plate.
✨ Fun fact: Chewology was founded by Chef Katie Liu-Sung, who brings her Taiwanese heritage to life through handmade noodles, street food favorites, and seasonal local ingredients. Her goal? To create a culinary “lab” (hence the name Chewology) where textures and flavors meet in creative ways.
We started with an Oolong Sling (light and floral) and a beer for balance . To get the full experience, we went family style — sampling a bit of everything:
Dressed Egg, Spring Greens & Yuba, Taiwanese Fried Chicken (two sauces, extra charge), Gua Bao, Lo-Bah-Png Pork Belly Fried Rice, and finally, the sweet Bao Bits for dessert.
While everything was good, there wasn’t one standout dish that wowed me. The fried rice was a bit soggy for my taste, though the flavors were still comforting. What did shine was the creativity behind the menu and the care in presentation — you can tell the dishes are thoughtfully made.
Pros
• Inventive take on traditional Taiwanese street food
• Great cocktails and modern atmosphere
• Perfect for sharing — family-style dining encouraged
Cons
• Can get pricey with sauce add-ons
• Some dishes (like fried rice) could use texture improvements
• No single “wow” dish this round
Pro Tip:
Try the fried chicken and gua bao — they’re crowd favorites. Pair your meal with the Oolong Sling cocktail for a refreshing balance of citrus and tea.
Chewology is all about exploring flavors — and while not every dish hit the mark for me, the experience felt like a fun, modern twist on Taiwanese comfort food. Would I go again? Yes — with friends and an appetite for adventure.
It is the type of place that serves interesting small plates with very small portions, as well as some main dishes.
The Three Cup Mushroom Ramen was excellent, so long as you enjoy mushrooms. A slightly sweet and pleasant complex of flavors, pretty sure I tasted garlic oil among other nicely balanced flavors.
The Tofu Bao was quite tasty, a nice lightly sweet sauce, with cilantro, fried and pickled onions giving it a pleasant contrast.
The Spring Greens and Yuba were, interesting and pleasant, but having tried them I probably would have gone with another option.
The mochi for dessert is the gooey kind, small bites with ice cream inside. They had sesame and lychee, which were each very subtle in flavor. Pleasant enough, although the texture is a little weird.
The service was friendly and seemed genuine.
I would expect to spend more than the prices would suggest, as you probably need to order a handful of small plates per person. The ramen portion might be enough depending on your appetite. They seemed to expect reservations, although we picked a quiet night.
I would say it is definitely worth giving a try for the right occasion.
Weston was amazing to have as a waiter and recommended the green lotus drink which was splendid!
We had the noodle eggs which did not last long at all, nor did the dumplings. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all absolutely fantastic.
We will most definitely be returning.
I’m vegan and my dad is an omnivore, but we both had lots of options (which was highly appreciated since that’s often a rarity for me). We really enjoyed all of our dishes – my personal favorite was the smacked cucumber. Yum!
Since I was there for my birthday, I also got a free mochidoki 🙂 We’d be happy to return!
