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.
Vie and Nam's idea depends on serving the most prevalent Vietnamese dishes in a stylish environment at a sensible cost. The all around enjoyed "Phò" soup, made of a fragrant juices prepared with star anise and cinnamon that has stewed for quite a long time, is one of our claims to fame. Unexpectedly, our dishes are set up with the freshest fixings.
The contrast between the Vietnamese food and other oriental cooking styles is in the straightforward fixings that are utilized, alongside the sound method for setting them up. We offer barbecued meats prepared with lemon grass and presented with rice or vermicelli, our customary or fiery soup and our renowned fledgling's home made of fresh noodles and crunchy vegetables, and in addition our delectable bánh mì sandwich. What an incredible affair for our clients to appreciate - Vietnamese cooking presented with a cutting edge touch!
