Truly a five star dining experience… Chashu it’s on all fronts with an awesome vibe, plentiful and attentive staff, and killer food. I’ve been a dozen times and had a great experience, but this most recent time we had a tokurri of their “Demon Slayer” sake, and they brought over the assortment of traditional ochoko cups to pick from. We ordered one of my favorites, the chicken karaage for the table. It’s a small plate so if you’ve got hungry folks, I recommend getting two (good for 2 people to share). For dinner, I got the maze brothless Ramen, it was very tasty possibly a bit too garlic, but overall very good. My GF always gets the moyashi, I’d highly recommend this as I think it’s probably the best Ramen on the menu in a traditional sense. We skipped dessert this time, but we did get drinks … I got the paper crane and it was fantastic… great unique whiskey cocktail, not too sweet and very tasty and not overwhelmingly alcohol(y) for the uninitiated. I will make a note and say that I have had their dessert before, and it is high-quality in presentation and flavor and typically big enough to share for two. Overall, it’s a great night out with friends with tables that could be pushed together to seat 12, of have a cozy time with 2. Highly recommended!

A little music would have been nice but I am sure it is difficult to accommodate everyone’s likings.

This restaurant has consistently impressed my husband and I. It is now one of our top 3 go to date nights in the Worcester area. We have never had a bad meal and always leave feeling satisfied, happy, and full.

This restaurant never disappoints!! From start to finish it was excellent. Had special maki which was great… added spicy shrimp to a basic chicken ramen & it kicked it up nicely. Mom had salmon entree with added mushrooms & rice side. We finished it with a special custard dessert… nice and light but creamy and delicious!!

Food was delicious as usual. Service was not as great as it has been in the past. We were very rushed throughout. Server brought the check over after we had just barely finished eating. Even though we had a reservation and had only been sitting for an hour and 15 minutes we were told by our server that we needed to leave because our table was reserved at this time. I wasn’t aware that’s how reservations work?? Found this a bit rude after we just spent $150 on dinner. Additionally our main dishes came out before our appetizers which has never happened in the past. Something was off today…

We love going to Chashu. Our friends were in from Paris, and it is always a must-stop restaurant in Worcester. Every time we go, I try a new dish and have never been disappointed.
