    About Doc Chey's Asian Kitchen

    When we opened the first Doc Chey's in 1997, our goal was simple: operate a neighborhood restaurant that serves our guests affordable, delicious, pan-Asian food.

    Although we have been true to our original mission, we quickly learned that we had an even greater mission, and that was to improve the communities we serve. We did this by becoming stakeholders in our neighborhoods and fostering good karma in our communities through various initiatives - dine-outs that support local schools and charitable organization, donations to local organizations for fundraising events, and hosting charitable events like Morningside Mile and Breakfast with Santa.

    Through our efforts, we have donated over $200,000 in cash and food to local schools and non-profit organizations. We work hard to live our values everyday - treat others as we wish to be treated and give without expecting anything in return.

    We will continue to work hard every day to help make our communities better places to live - one noodle bowl at a time.
