Our reviewer sampled the shared plates, ramen and more at Chow Yum Phat

Ramen is a reason to live. But it hasn’t always been easy to come by in Baton Rouge. But ever since Chow Yum Phat opened a brick-and-mortar location last September near the Perkins Road overpass, top-notch ramen can be ours.

The cozy restaurant offers a tightly curated menu that makes it easy to choose. Appetizers, or “Shares,” offer several choices with a suggestion to order a few items to share with the table. Having vegetarian options is always a plus, but seafood and meat choices are also available. The menu often includes an Evening Specials card offering other tasty morsels.
