Our Philosophy

Great Food + Good Karma
Meditating buddha with Peace Love Noodles on white robe sleeve


When we opened Doc Chey's in 1997, our goal was simple: create a neighborhood spot that serves our guests affordable, delicious (and healthy!) pan-Asian comfort food.

Although we have been true to our mission, we quickly learned that we had an even greater purpose –- improving the communities we serve. We did this by becoming stakeholders in Morningside and Virginia-Highland, and fostering good karma through action, whether it's hosting dine-outs for local schools, donating to community fundraisers, or organizing events like Morningside Mile to help save our neighborhood fire station.

Through these efforts and more, we've donated over $375,000 to neighborhood nonprofits, and provided more than 534,694 meals to food-insecure neighbors. We strive 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.
