"Chow in Lafayette is the suburb cousin of Park Chow in the city. The food is definitely a cut above the standard ’burbs fare, but is step under great food. The menu is diverse – regardless of your mood and/or Finicky-ness – you will find something in the menu to interest you. A nice positive is that many of the dishes in different portion sizes (indicated by 2 or 3 different prices beside selected dishes), so you can order the right amount of food. The spaghetti and meatballs is a good portion, has rich sauce and juicy meatballs. The Thai-style noodles are spicy and a great dish when you have to warm up. I would rate the food 4 stars. What takes it down a star are 3 things: 1. Waiting can be laboriously long for comfort food. Do you really want to wait an hour to have these spaghetti and meatballs or a pepper soup? 2. For Asian dishes and meat dishes are the portions on the small side. You really notice the small size when you get out and you're spending a gut on your normal plates at home. 3. The place is invalid. Yeah, you have to call to have a conversation with the person sitting next to you. With the noise it is a perfect place for dinner with small children. In most places, you'd be worried about them making too much noise. Not with Chow. Lots of parking in front of the restaurant. Turned off at the back of a shopping center on the main street in Lafayette. Look after the Starbucks/A.G. Ferrari."
