HPED Welcomes Qing Mu!

Please join HPED in welcoming Qing Mu, located at 1009 West Chester Pike, to Haverford Township!

Qing Mu serves a variety of Asian food dishes, focusing on Sushi, Japanese style ramen bowls, and poke -- all made with fresh ingredients.

Owner Chen Yung is especially proud to offer poke bowls, as his restaurant is the first to serve them in our township. Qing Mu’s poke bowls include meat (with choices of raw fish or cooked meats), rice, vegetables and sauce. The new restaurant has been open for just a little over a month, and Chen looks forward to his restaurant becoming a Havertown favorite.
