Very impressed with Chow Yum! I normally think fusion restaurants always have meh food and good atmosphere. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the food and drinks here. We sat at the bar and the bartender was sweet. The place is a little cramped inside, but it was also super busy and a Sunday night. Once it started to clear out it felt cozy & the decor adds to the aesthetic of the entire place.
We had the 2 special frozen drinks, a snake wrangler & the Bali blast. Both were really tasty and strong. The snake wrangler is a honeydew melon based cocktail and the Bali blast is similar to a blaja blast with a tropical twist.
For food we tried the rib stack, pork belly bao, fried fish bao, & the smokehouse fried rice.
The rib stack was 10/10 so tender and so much meat and the sauce was addicting. The baos were also a good size and yummy! The fried rice was meh and didn’t have much flavor.
Overall, we would definitely come again as there’s other dishes we want to try and the dessert also sounds bomb.

I have been here for the first time last night and the food was really good. I tried the Oskar’s Wilde and Crispy Coconut Fish and I liked both! But I like the coconut fish better. I also got the bread pudding and that also didn’t disappoint! Will be back

One of the best spots for ramen in Baton Rouge. The ramen broth was delicious and the hot honey wings made for a perfect appetizer. You should expect a 20-30 minute wait for your food, but this is a great spot for a lunch or dinner date that won’t break the bank.

This place never disappoints! The soft shelled crab bao is delicious! The Rad Thai is so fresh. The bread pudding is the best that I’ve had in a very long time. Service was great! Prices are decent!

I made reservations for my birthday to eat at Chom Yum. I really wanted to try the bao! Our server was attentive and gave us recommendations which made the dining experience great!
The Hot Honey Chicken Bao packed a lot of flavor. The crispy chicken, honey, pickled onions, scallions, and the house boursin were a perfect combination of ingredients. The Hissy Fit is a seasonal drink. It’s not as sweet as I would like, but I thought it wasn’t bad.
The Firebird Ramen is spicy! I love the seasoned egg, the miso broth, the crispy chicken…. I ate everything with a smile on my face! One thing I didn’t try was the bread pudding because I had a full stomach. I will visit again to enjoy it.

Chow Yum is a great place to enjoy Asian cuisine with a little creole mixed in. We started with the chef dumplings. I got hot honey chicken Bao bun and Bombay chicken. Everything I’ve had from this restaurant has been amazing. I definitely recommend stopping by if you get a chance and try it out.

Typical Louisiana restaurant – serving Vietnamese Crawfish and other South East Asian food. Good service, delicious food, very very limited ‘vegetarian’ option, but if you ask they will swap out the meat with some tofu. Surprisingly amazing desserts too!
I would recommend it!

My family & I got together to meet up at Chow Yum. At first, we were supposed to eat separate since the interior wouldn’t allow to set a table for 8. But we were lucky enough to eat outside in the back patio. We heard they were selling their own boiled crawfish. The flavors were surprisingly delicious & spicy. It had hidden quail eggs in the bucket. We shared the T-bokki w/ beef. It’s not as spicy but it was really good. One of my Aunt ordered the Dan Dan noodles; she said it tasted really good. We also shared the cafe sua da vietnamese coffee) bread pudding, I forgot to take a picture before everyone took a bite. The flavor was more cinnamon than coffee, but it was still good.

Each time we visit, we enjoy trying something new from the menu. The flavors always have depth! The ambience of the restaurant gives exactly what’s need for a quick weekday casual date night. The price per item is reasonable. The wait staff is always friendly and knowledgeable of the items served. Definitely give the place a try if you’re in the area!

Yum! Service was great – our server was helpful and knowledgeable. The rib small plate was actually 4 meaty and delicious ribs – will definitely be back for those, it was the beat dish we had! The smoky fried rice dish had giant, tender chunks of brisket and pork belly, it was a ton of food for a great price.
