Chew Man Chu opening in Symphony House Oct. 28
We're hearing that Chew Man Chu, the name of Marty Grims' rejiggered Du Jour Symphony House (Broad and Pine), will open to the public on Wednesday, Oct. 28. The dumpling and noodle bar concept, headed up by seasoned chef Tyson Wong Ophaso (he's worked under icons like Paul Bocuse and Daniel Boulud), will feature a menu based around Asian home cooking, and it'll be affordable, with starters ranging from $4.50 to $7 and entr�es from $8 to $19. (They'll also do takeout and delivery.) The focal point of the dining room, we're told, will be an open wok kitchen that features a counter for chef' tastings.

(His original plan was to open a second Philly Du Jour location there, alongside a higher-end pan-Asian concept; details are still scarce on the latter project.)
