Eat Chow
1802 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, CA 92627

Eat Chow is a small hole-in-the-wall local café located on the east side of Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa. The small bistro actually occupies a portion of the hip, trendy clothing store The Closet. This creative restaurant with Danish modern décor was created by Eric Doran and Brian McReynolds. The menu is new American, but diners will find Mexican, Asian and European-inspired fare on the menu too. Famous for their delightfully thin and crispy parmesan truffle fries, Eat Chow offers a variety of small plates like white bean hummus and fried green tomatoes.
Diners come from around Orange County for the Cuban sandwich and decadent truffle mac and cheese. Also, Eat Chow has a formidable beer and wine list along with their own signature coffee roasted by Martin Dietrich. With warm service and dog-friendly outdoor seating, Eat Chow is the perfect locals spot to enjoy a great bite.
Eat Chow serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and is open 7am-9pm Sunday-Thursday and 7am-10pm Friday-Saturday.
