Whether seeking a quick bite, or a more casual, leisurely dining experience, Chau suits the bill. Serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine in an open, airy atmosphere that more resembles a local coffeehouse than your typical dark, dreary Asian eatery, one gets the idea that you could linger at Chau's long after your meal is complete, simply savoring the unassuming, laid back atmosphere. Fresh noodle, rice, beef, chicken and seafood entrees make up most of the menu, which, like most Thai places, relies heavily on an array of spices.
