Philippe Chow

This is the second time I've been to this restaurant. I'm a picky eater, but everything was wonderful. When I first entered, I used the restroom. I noticed there was a candle in front of the soap dispenser. I'm clumsy and generally look out for hazards as a result. It made me nervous. After requesting that the soap and candle be swapped, to avoid any potential accident, they fixed it immediately. The service was on point. My table mates shared the peking chicken and I went for the tofu and mixed vegetable stir fry, but with black bean sauce. I cannot say how the chicken tasted as a vegetarian, although I tried the wrapping with cucumber, scallion, and sauce. It was delicious. My tofu and vegetables were great. The tofu was extremely soft and flavorful. Before we received our main courses, we had appetizers. I must say that all of the appetizers were incredible. Noteworthy items for me were the scallion pancakes and cauliflower bites. If you have an issue with salt intake, you might want to ask for less salt on the cauliflower as they are quite salty. I don't often come to fancy places, let alone a place as fancy as this. I like to make fun of how they refill your water glass so quickly. This time, I got less than a minute on how long it took to fill an empty glass. Mike got to my sister's water glass at 45 seconds!! When we came last year it was around 3 minutes for that server back then. Speaking of water, make sure to specify whether you would like tap water or bottled water. We thought the bottles were refilled, but were made aware that every new bottle cost $11 when Mike gave us one "on the house." Thankfully, when we asked for another bottle taken off because of the confusion, they not only comped one more, but another one on top of that. I was pleasantly surprised by the generosity in their service. If you enjoy Chinese cuisine, this is a great place to go. They truly elevate the experience. I felt like a prince.

I’ve been to many Chinese restaurants in NYC, but without a doubt, Philippe Chow is the best one I’ve had the pleasure of dining at. I tried the chicken dumplings, chicken satay, and the spicy fried rice paired with sweet and sour salmon. Every dish was exceptional, and the portions were perfect. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for top-notch Chinese cuisine in New York.

The BEST Asian meal I had this year and it’s not even close. Other than the short mix up in the beginning where it took them a bit to find my name on the reservation, everything else was TOP NOTCH. The service was great, I loved the ambiance, enjoyed the drinks, the food came extremely quick and was absolutely delicious. Every bite I kept trying to think which day I would be coming back, it was that good. The trick by adding lo mein to the chicken salad wraps (with the sauce) was a HEAVENLY COMBO! The Crispy Beef was too good and the Filet Mignon was PERFECTLY cooked. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it cut into pieces when I got but geeeeeeezzzzzzz that was the best Filet Mignon I had this year. I got it medium and idk who or what cook it in the back… I swear it was Ai, it was so dang good. Dessert was great too! This might be Top 1-3 meals I’ve had this year.

Philippe Chow is a great experience. Must try any of the Satays. Food was great but don't recommend the Seabass. Desert was excellent and service was ehh.

Overall had a good experience. Went for the hype but probably wouldn’t go back. Quality of the food and portion was really good. The taste depended on what you order. Pecking duck, chicken satay, green prawns, sea bass, walnut shrimp and the red velvet cake was delicious. We tried almost everything cause we got the Crown pre course menu.
