I really love all the fresh ingredients and options provided at Chow Baby. For $11.99, you can make as many stiry fry bowls as you want. I think this is a fabulous deal. It is a great way to try small samples of different sauces, noodles, ingredients, etc. However, NEVER go during the weekend as it is an unpleasant experience. \r

I've been several times and the service has become less friendly and competent. I had very good service the first time I went, but it has been very spotty since. Without being asked or warned, we were seated outside in the intense heat without being asked ahead of time if outside seating was okay. We waited an hour for this table, which we assumed would be inside, and we were told in a terse manner that it would be another hour to get a table inside. A hot stir-fry in 95 degrees is not fun at all. As this was a weekend night, there was a long line of people assembling their stir fry bowls and it took forever to get through the line. After waiting in line and then getting the stir fry delivered, I realized that there were about 4 ingredients in my stir fry that I did not put in my bowl. They mixed my bowl with other patrons' food. Our waitress was not friendly at all, brought our waters late, and we had to chase her down several times because she neglected our table. My friend's bowl never arrived and they wouldn't even comp it on the bill after she waited for 20 minutes and was told twice that they'd check on her food. \r

I am not going to entirely give up on this place, but I will only go on a Monday or Tuesday night around 5pm.
Pros: Good Choices, Unique Concept
Cons: Bad for Large Groups, Long weekend lines, Decline in Service
