Behold, the Downtown Chow Menu from Natalie Young

Natalie Young's Chow is now officially open on Fremont St., serving "Southern-style soul food with fine Chinese cuisine" from 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday.

While chef Young's spin on fried chicken has been the dish attracting the most anticipation, the full menu has more than enough novelty for repeat visits, adding loco moco, an apple fritter dessert, Kool Aid by the glass, and the house's own twist on a casual Chinese menu staple, "General Chow's Chicken," made with "crispy fried chicken, ginger, garlic, soy, rice vinegar, sweet & hot chili peppers."
