The Story Behind the Bistro

Chow Bistro is a love letter to Collegeville — a neighborhood gem where classic American comfort food gets a thoughtful, creative twist and every guest leaves feeling a little more at home than when they arrived.

1st time here. We had a lovely time out with friends. The atmosphere was more casual than I thought it was going to be. No linen table clothes like some of the pictures. That must have been a special occasion. We had paper napkins, which surprised my husband. The server was friendly.

Now open for lunch! We had the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich today and give it a solid 10 out of 10! The sweet and salty garlic honey glaze paired with the crunchy coleslaw created an incredible flavor profile. Absolutely delicious!

Very cozy with low lighting. Intimate but has never been loud when I've gone. They are sweet about me bringing a book, eating slowly and having a glass of (byob) wine. The food is made with fresh and clean ingredients, cooked perfectly and delicious flavors paired.

A very nice elegant local restaurant or better said dining spot. The feel the vibe is if you were in a very expensive city spot. The staff and owners are great. They are friendly, nicely attentive and helpful with menu questions. Now the food is all prepared when ordered.
