The Scene
This popular neighborhood noodle shop makes a name for itself in the restaurant-heavy Highlands-Morningside area. Its menu of low-priced options appeals to the younger crowd who rents around here. Endearing in a slightly beat-up kind of way, Doc Chey's features a fun patio, plus functional community seating inside. Service is basic, sometimes friendly.
The Food
Ultra-cheap and just exotic enough, this noodle shop specializes in Americanized Asian food with familiar vegetables and meat. Starters, including crispy shrimp rolls, scallion pancakes and a dumbed-down Larb, are hit-and-miss. Noodles bowls at their best are gallon-sized slurpy fun, at least for the first five bites. But under-seasoned pho and an over-spiced Japanese udon are real downers. Still, Doc Chey's isn't trying to score points for authenticity--and at six bucks a plate, it's hard to be completely snobby.

This is one of my favorite places. Big bowls of noodle and rice dishes! Absolutely yummy. Prices are low. The edamame appetizer is pretty good. They also do a lot of takeout business. Con: At this location, they have long tables that you sometimes share with strangers (if you sit inside). I'm not really a people person so I usually sit on the patio.

Doc Chey's is a great place to go if you are looking to sit on the patio eating noodles. The restaurant is family friendly so there are always kids sitting outside on the patio with parents who look grateful to have a place to go to.

I went to lunch yesterday (10-6-08) because of the reviews here. This is mediocre food(at best)...not a place for 5 stars...I am not talking about fine dining 5 stars....I am talking about what they do, their specialty is just alright. I had the special Kung Pao...no real flavor except HOT! Kung Pao is a really flavorful dish so I was surprised. I added soy sauce to make it taste like something. My friend had Red Thai curry....I tasted it. It was alright, nothing to write home about. They were very very skimpy with their portions...tons of noodles and rice but not lots of other stuff. We are talking about vegetables here. Not a high food cost and merely a smattering of them. and then to add $1 for chicken and I had maybe 1-1.5 oz is ridiculous. They are making a lot of money on these $10 lunches that fill people up with cheap starch. I think the reason everything has a hot pepper next to it on the menu is so that they can burn out your taste buds so you don't realize you are getting nothing for your lunch dollar. I won't be back.
