First Bite: Cheu Noodle Bar

Posted by Jason Sheehan on April 2nd, 2013

Cheu Noodle Bar–the TOTALLY not-a-ramen-bar from Ben Puchowitz and Shawn Darragh–opened yesterday at 3pm at 10th and Locust, and we were there about 3:30 to grab a couple seats at the counter, see all the industry folks who showed up for a late lunch and eat the hell out of the short, tight menu.

Something you should know right off the bat: They call the place a noodle bar and that’s exactly what it is–a long, thin space with counter seating and a few tables where the crew in the kitchen focuses primarily on putting out several variations of noodle bowls, from ramen to pho to brisket, lamb neck and curry.

Something else you should know: The noodles are actually the least interesting things on the menu.

Early Look: Cheu Noodle Bar

Posted by Foobooz on March 20th, 2013

The guys wanted us to remind you, Cheu Noodle Bar is just that, it's not a ramen bar.

Ben Puchowitz and Shawn Darragh have been planning Cheu Noodle Bar since at least late 2011. What started as a pop-up is finally becoming a storefront and yesterday we got an early look (and bite).

Cheu Noodle Bar, which is opening on Monday, April 1st, has seating for about 32 people, primarily along the bar in front of the open kitchen where Puchowitz is preparing his mostly noodle (but not mostly ramen) menu. All of the noodles are made in-house including the hand torn noodles pictured above.

Ben Puchowitz Talks About Cheu Noodle Bar

March 1st, 2013

“The dishes are influenced by lots of different cultures. There’s going to be matzah balls in one of them. I recently learned how to do hand-torn noodles, so I’m going to be doing a hand-torn noodle dish with lamb necks. It’s not your standard stuff.”

Chef Ben Puchowitz talking to Grub Street about the menu at his upcoming Cheu Noodle Bar, due to open later this month. Check out the full interview for more details

Spotted: Union Protesters at Cheu Noodle Bar

Posted by Foobooz on January 9th, 2013

The under construction Cheu Noodle Bar (255 S 10th Street) is facing union protesters today and had them yesterday as well. We’ve seen union protesters over the past few months at the Corner Foodery site and Philadelphia Cupcake at 20th and South.

Has anyone spotted them at any other Philadelphia restaurant construction sites recently?

Cheu Noodle Has a Home

Posted by Foobooz on January 2nd, 2013

Cheu Noodle Bar has a home and a opening target. Ben Puchowitz of Matyson and Shawn Darragh are aiming to open before the end of February at the former Maru Global at 255 South 10th Street.

The interior has been gutted and new equipment is now being installed. There will be an open kitchen with bar seats along the line. The ramen spot will have room for 30 people and is working on securing a liquor license.

The menu will have be broken down by vegetables, snacks and noodles. Darragh also promises one or two other sections, “but we have to keep something secret.”
