text: I remember going to the thai place and hawaiin place before that in this plaza before and I was never impressed with the area or food I did not think I was ever going back until I saw two separate articles from azcentral and new times on Chous KitchennnIts tucked towards the end of a bland strip mall on the southwest corner of Ray and Alma School The decor is simple and clean We were seated and helped almost immediately I have been raving about these meat pies do not you just love saying that word to my gf all day We got the pork meat pies the bean curd with pork noodles with shrimp and green onion pancakesnnThe meat pies were awesome Three came per serving They tasted like the filling of a pork steamed bun flattened with a flaky savory pastry crust around it ExcellentnnThe bean curd with pork and celery was crispy fresh and not too oily It was not bad but nothing to tell mom aboutnnUnfortunately the green onion pancakes had the look and aroma of deliciousness but lacked green onions to give it a punch It tasted like meat pies minus the meatnnThe noodles with shrimp was standard fare Interestingly enough they used lo mein noodles instead of something thinner we thought they wouldnnThey were nice enough to offer us a corn like clear soup but it was very bland I was not sure if it was supposed to be savory or desert tastingnnOverall the meat pies are excellent at the place We spent and came out full and happy It also helps the place was jam packed with asian people which is a good sign Next time I am going to go back and try some of their soupstews that I saw everyone else ordering and I may change my rating
