by WishYouWereHere at Citysearch

I had to wait in the buffet line for like 20 minutes.

• Pros: Can be delicious sometimes.
• Cons: not consistent, too busy for enjoyment

Try another stir-fry restaurant in town

If you don't like poor services, loud music, burned food at Chow Baby, try HOT BOWL in Roswell. You'll be happy. Similar concept with all fresh ingredients. Excellent services, friendly & helpful staffs, cheaper $6.95 for lunch, $8.95 dinner, kid is $4.95 with soup & dessert included.

• Pros: location
• Cons: poor

Great price - great taste!

Took my son and his girlfriend at lunchtime to celebrate his birthday here as we had heard a lot about it, and were pleasantly surprised by the whole process of selecting items and havng them stir-fried. It was not a long wait from the time we gave our bowls to the cook and the time we sat down at our table. And we had a fabulous server named Jackie, very knowledgeble, especially about saki! Only complaint, my son had a jalapeno pepper in his meal that he didn't put in there, and both my son and his girflriend said their beef was a little tough. We arrived at 11:30 and there was a short line for food, but about an hour later, the line was ridiculously long. I would suggest going at lunch rather than dinner, as our server Jackie stated dinner was always crowded. Other than that, it was great and inexpensive. Fully recommend it.

• Pros: Item Selection
• Cons: Can be a long wait

EXCELLENT!

by KirstenElder at Citysearch

This place was excellent , but it should stay open longer. It closes at 10 o'clock. Some people go to dinner at 9:30 and don't want to be rushed. I think you would have more business if you opened for lunch Sat and Sun .

• Pros: Food.
• Cons: Closing Time & Saturday and Sunday Opening.

Best on a very slow weeknight only

by deevah678 at Citysearch

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.

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.

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

Not something I will try again

by azianbrat at Citysearch

Went last year for my brother's birthday and was really excited to try their concept....except everything I tried tasted bland! I'm a pretty good cook and tried following their recipes to a t, but still everything was so bad I couldn't finish it. The extra money you pay for the shrimp can be put to better use as they give you 4 tiny, tiny, baby shrimps on a small toothpick.

• Pros: ambiance, decor
• Cons: food

Very Different Experience...Great Place!! Really Stands out Amongst other restaurants

by Charles55 at Citysearch

Me and my wife went here and absolutely enjoyed it. We arrived when dinner started and were greeted with a long line around its building... We were promptly seated and had a wonderful waitress named Chrystal. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and she was very nice! They have a system for fixing your food that is very smooth and cool. All the ingredients are very fresh and fully stocked at all times... the secret to it al are the sauces. they make the dish! i love this place!!!

• Pros: great food!!! great servers!!! good atmosphere
• Cons: very very crwoded. the place is rather small for the amount of clientele they have..
