Chau’s Corner Bakery — Restaurant in Wytheville

The high star average is for a reason! Don't let the hole-in-the-wall storefront's outside appearance fool you: this is the home of expertly crafted noodle soups, tailored specially to your individual taste (no cilantro? extra spicy? not spicy at all? want all the toppings and then some? Chau's has you covered) --plus a variety of perfect sweets including tiramisu, rich chocolate brownies, cookies, macarons, and meringues.

By the way, give the meringues a chance! Though their appearance may be less colorful, these underrated little confections have a delightfully nutty flavor and melt in your mouth, without the gritty texture of meringues made by less skilled bakers than the proprietress here.

We were on a 9-hour road trip, and this was the perfect meal - savory, filling but not heavy, just the right amount of spicy hot. Chau's is definitely worth your visit! I couldn't have asked for anything more for the...

This might be one of the first reviews I’ve done in a long time, but after eating here, there was no way I couldn’t have left before writing one. Great, healthy, and authentic food, rivaling the Asian food you will get in any of the big cities in the US. The tiramisu offered was spectacular as well.

But what makes this place special was the service from the young lady running the store. My dog was with me when I was eating here, and the lady went above and beyond making sure that my party along with my dog were well taken care of, even offering pork treats and water to my dog! I can’t thank her enough for her exceptional service. I highly recommend everyone to eat at this spot, it will be...
