It was the Friday evening before Easter and Katy and I had no plans for once. We decided not to cook and wanted to head toward the Highlands since it had been a while. Neither one of us felt like changing, waiting to be seated, or spending much money so I suggested Doc Chey's (a recommendation for good noodles with a relaxed environment from one of my customers). It's located just around the corner from Virginia and Highland and still has many boutiques and dessert shops in the vicinity for meandering.
The menu is pretty standard and straight-forward: dim sum, noodles, soups, and stir fries. The prices and food delightful. We shared some dim sum, the veggie spring rolls and the shanghai dumplings exuding fresh ginger. My meal was the traditional Chicken Pad Thai with a few extra veggies that Doc added to give it a step up from the norm. Katy's Japanese Teriyaki Udon hit spot-on, as the noodles were cooked with the vegetables and chicken first, then tossed around and stir fried with some teriyaki.
Doc Chey's is a quick and cheap eat in a family atmosphere. All of the food is prepared sans MSG so it is also healthier for the entire family. We also left feeling pretty good, seeing how we ate all that we did for only $30. Try doing that somewhere else in Atlanta.
