Its my first experience in Cho Gao restaurant . Restaurant has unique theme that looks amazing. During my visit I couldnt find any food that is vegetarian. However, staff were immediately prepared ans arrange special vegetarian food for me. They are very attentive. I have tried for very first time those food in the picture. And they were all good. And thank you for special arrangement of vegetarian food.

We had an incredibly adventurous culinary experience at @chogaoabudhabi , a pan Asian restaurant & bar lounge located at @crowneplazaabudhabi with a menu that takes its inspiration from Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and China. The heart of the restaurant is an escape for all the senses, a unique Asian experience offering surprise ingredients built around the contrasting tastes and smells found in East Asian streets.The stunning and lively ambience will start rousing your heart beat the minute you step in.They have quality standards that are hard to find anywhere else. Their extremely warm hospitality and super friendly staff made our experience more amazing.We were invited to attend Asian market night which is celebrated every Wednesday and it’s a buffet offering a wide array of Asian cuisine from fresh salads,appetizers,soup, main course and desserts.Food was absolutely delicious with so many options that it was difficult to choose what to eat and what to leave but whatever we ate gave our taste buds the best level of satisfaction.They have a live sea food and fresh meat counter as well where you can choose meat/ sea food along with seasonings of your choice and they will make it fresh and will serve you in minutes

It a ok restaurant, the location is ok. To be honest the duck and sweet and sour shrimp was my favorite dishes. I don’t know maybe I wasn’t lucky with food but what I am sure that I had a better than this

My son had a birthday and wanted to go for a brunch. We decided on the Cho Gao Duplex brunch. The beautiful brunch was well put together, but the service was even better.Thin, Lia, and Ren all helped us out, making sure that we had a fantastic family birthday meal.

We went for dinner at Cho Gao, Hamdan tonight. Service part was better than the food for us. All the staff were attentive and helpful. The drinks were also delightful. We ordered rae papaya salad, pho soup,tom yam chicken soup, steamed dumplings, virgin mojitos, nasigoraeng among others. We liked the papaya salad and chips.

Excellent Service. The Papaya Salad was wet and lumpy. The Tom Yum Soup watery. Their signature cocktails are very good! They must look at some benchmark around! They seem very complacent👼

We were a group of three and ordered two Vietnamese noodles and one full crispy Peking duck. A bit pricey but portions were large. Peking Duck was not made in the authentic way (roasted and with mostly skin and little meat), it was oven grilled and very dry. Not recommended if you are looking for authentic Asian foods.

Asian Market NightEvery Wednesday 7pm to 10pm179 pp with soft beverages.The ambience was perfect for a cosy dinner with open tables and few semi closed Chambers.The staff were friendly and very courteous. Loved their service and humbleness.The food arrangements and the whole buffet set up was definitely a treat to the eye.The buffet has soft drinks, juices, salads, main course, soup, fruits and desserts.We had tropical mixed fruits and lemon mint ice tea for juices. Fresh papaya salad, beef salad and sea food salad in the salad section. For desserts there were a variety of amazing desserts like pineapple mousse, red velvet cake, leche flen and many more!! Absolutely worth a try!!Soup there was Tom yum chicken soup.Main course there were beef stir fry, hakka noodles, pad Thai, wok fry veggies, red Thai curry, white rice , grilled fishes and chicken wings and spring rolls!!!My fav ones were the hakka noodles, wok fried veggies, papaya salad, spring roll and the bbq and crispy fried chicken wings were out if the world!!! Absolute must try!!! The crunch of the chicken wings should not be missed! I also loved every dessert served! They were amazing!!Definitely enjoyed my visit💯

I visited this place a couple of times when I used to live in Abu Dhabi.Their staff is so helpful with some excellent service. I tried their sushi and Beef Rendang(for the first time) and really loved it.When I entered the restaurant I thought they dont have that much space inside but I was wrong coz they can accommodate a lot of people for a big party or gathering. Valet parking at the backside is a plus plus.On my last visit, there were some entertainer Thai girls and I loved their dance.a very economical place to have some nice dinner especially if you have a Zomato gold offer.I miss it so much and would love to go there soon whenever I will visit Abu Dhabi again.

Great food. Nice ambience. Go to place for Asian food.We used to order from Chimes when we lived in Dubai. The food here is as good, but the ambience of the restaurant is much better. And you can get beer and wine. What a nice surprise in Abu Dhabi.

Decided to take visiting family from the UK earlier this evening, worst decision. Sorry to say it although the staff did try to serve us nicely - it was beyond difficult to hear each other over the music. Mains took exceptionally long time to arrive, and the food taste and appearance was below average.

Good value for money, tasty sushi and miso soup. 2 options for salads, around 10 types of different sushi available in the buffet. Staff is nice and friendly, but I still think they should include water in that 99 AED sushi buffet, bcs paying 25 AED for Al Ain water looks crazy🙈🙈🙈.

Asian fare served in a good ambience with decent taste and presentation. Serves Asian beer and alcohol. Their themed nights are very good with Sushi nights being the most popular (limited dishes but great taste). Their service is one of the best. Special thanks to Allysan and Thin for enhancing our dining experience with their warmth and service.

Located on the ground floor of the Crowne Plaza hotel, this restaurant is has a lot to offer. Japanese sushi and a varied oriental menu.To get the best value for money on food, it is better to stick with the business lunch menu and other offers. Selecting from the menu will be a more expensive affair. There is bar seating and comfortable table seating. The predominantly wood decor, makes for a calm ambience . The food is tasty and the place welcoming, what more can one ask for ?

The food is not tasty. Cheap food sold expensive and does not match the status of the hotel where the restaurant is located. Also does not mutch its raiting. Staff there keep always asking, “is everything good?” Seens like they know that food is not that ok. But 2nd star this place gets from me for staff’s hospitality. They were very kind and helpful.

It’s our first time to come here in Cho Gao Crowne Plaza with my friend and tried their Asian Market Night which is every Wednesday from 7-11. It’s a buffet setting and food are available for you to choose. They have (not much varieties of menus) which is a good thing coz its worth it and you can maximize and try everything in small portions as long and as much as you want! The servers are all helpful and accommodating especially Prakash and Sonai! Great food and money wise! It’s also in the entertainer. I so love their chicken wings and their Japanese chicken salad is a must to try! Sushi is average and what good is the overflowing soft beverage or you can upgrade to mixed drinks! We’ll definitely come back soon with more friends!

I have always been a fan of cho gao since 2014.... love the ambience, the choice of good food and drinks but one constant thing that makes me come back again each time is the lovely staff. They have been warm friendly and very accommodating to guests needs since day 1. Thats y I always choose to celebrate some very special days of my life hea. Supervisor Thin , Nicole and Sonai are ur best staff,treasure them I say..... The chicken dumplings hea are to die for, mie goreng and tom yum soup are some of my favourites ..... thank u guys

Cho Gao is a great place for dinning and hanging out, the food is always good, and the beer cold. Is a casual restaurant, if you are planning to go, take a cab instead driving. It will facilitate avoiding to find a parking slot in the middle of a hughe residencial zone.
