Family Owned & Operated
Welcome to Chu's Meat Market
We're Jonah & Sharone Chusid — a husband-and-wife team who built Chu's around one simple idea: give the kosher community access to the kind of premium meat usually reserved for high-end steakhouses.
What started as a family dream is now a real butcher shop on Central Ave, run the way family businesses should be — by hand, with people we know by name. We fly in to meet our Wagyu suppliers face to face, taste everything ourselves, and only put a cut in our case if we'd serve it at our own Shabbos table.
A single sale is easy. Earning your trust — week after week, dinner after dinner — is the work we actually care about.
Owners, Chu's Meat Market
The Chu's Standard
Four things we refuse to compromise on — built into everything we sell.
Premium Quality
If we wouldn't cook it in our own kitchen, we won't sell it to you. Steakhouse standards on every cut.
Five-Star Service
Built on Jonah's 15 years in hospitality. Real advice and real people on every order.
Building Relationships
We're not chasing a single sale. We're earning a spot at your table, dinner after dinner.
Transparent Sourcing
No vague labels or hidden supply chains. You deserve to know what you're feeding your family.
Frozen Is the Real Fresh
We flash-freeze our premium meats at their peak to lock in flavor and nutrients — so every cut you cook is as good as the day it was packed. Consistent results, every time.

Questions About Us
What's the deal with kosher certification?
How our kashrus works: Chu's doesn't do any food processing on-site, so we don't have daily in-store supervision. Every product we carry is kashered, nikkur/treibored, butchered, and vacuum-sealed at the plant under full rabbinic supervision.
Double identification: Each piece arrives factory-sealed with two simanim (tamper-evident IDs).
Who certifies the plants? Our two main suppliers, Letovim and Landsman Meat Company, both operate under STAR-K certification.
It's like buying a Meal Mart brisket at Costco or an Empire chicken at Trader Joe's — the store may not carry a single hashgacha, but the pre-packaged products do. The difference is that Chu's is Jewish family-owned and operated, with your best interests in mind.
What makes Chu's Meat Market different?
Chu's is built on two pillars: best-in-class quality and truly 5-star service. We focus on exceptional sourcing, deep product knowledge, and a hands-on approach that helps you buy better meat with confidence.
Where do you source your meat from?
We work directly with trusted American ranchers and producers known for consistency, animal welfare, and flavor. Our selection includes American Wagyu, premium Black Angus, pasture-raised poultry, and Colorado lamb — each chosen for quality, not volume.
Is all your meat Glatt Kosher?
Yes. All of our meat is Glatt Kosher and certified by respected kosher authorities. We maintain strict standards across sourcing, processing, and handling to ensure transparency and trust at every step.
