Decent, cheap Chinese food in central Brussels!…read more
After a long day of traveling, a friend and I arrived in Brussels hungry and cold. As always, I was craving Chinese food, so we decided to go to Chao Chow, which I had seen on Yelp. Because it was dinner time, the €4 lunch special wasn't available, but there are a couple €6 dinner dishes, such as the basic fried rice or chow mein. Everything else is between €9-14 or so, which isn't terrible.
The service is fast and good; I spoke Chinese with the waiter, and he kept complimenting me on my Chinese after finding out that I was actually Korean. We got our food in a matter of minutes. The taste was fine; not authentic but better than Panda Express level. I wish the food had come out a little hotter.
Know also that there's no tap water available! And if you're a stickler about clean and hygienic kitchens, then maybe avoid this place. But Chao Chow is great for cheap, fast, and greasy Chinese food on a budget!
