Love the place! Love the food! Love the service and staff! Price... a bit much, but I guess for what you love to have is worth every penny. Consistency of the food and service excellent. read more

Came here for brunch with a few friends, place was almost empty servers came to us and we ordered it nearly took 40 minutes to bring us our food. We had more drinks than food and let me tell you they're a little pricey!! Food was okay was expecting something more authentic but it was good. Kim our server took care of us, she was really sweet she apologized for the long wait spoke to her manager and gave us a discount which we appreciated. read more

I thought this place was over rated. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a good dinning experience.

I'm sure this place was really hip about 30 years ago, but now it just feels like....may be it hip 30 years ago. We ordered a lot of dishes based on the server's recommendation and most of the items were really pretty bland. We asked for so much soy sauce and chili oil that I think the check may have been offended. It wasn't cheap and don't see myself coming back. read more

A trip to Panda Express would have been a nicer affair. The ambience was lovely and the service was first class for sure, but if you are going to Mr. Chow's for Chinese food, you may just as well as drop by your nearest strip mall or food court Chinese restaurant. Save yourself a couple hundred dollars. read more

On November 10, 2014 I went with my date to eat food, around 9:00pm. I think when you are spending money in a business you should get the service from start to end. I been coming to this location for so many years, but after today NO MORE!!!! Everything was ok inside the restaurant, when the time came to go home I call my ride to pick us up. While we were outside, I noticed that the valet associate was intentionally blocking my ride, because it is a transportation service. The driver honked at the valet guy, to let him know that was my guests and why was he blocking the car? To me it look like if they are not making money, they could give a shit. When I got in my car I asked the driver do you know the valet driver he said No. I also asked him has he approach you to move the car to another place, he said No. After moving the car back and front for several times, we got out. When I got home around 9:45pm, I called the restaurant to let them know, they said we don't have anything to do with valet parking. They transferred the phone to the manager of valet parking. I asked the manager that one of the drivers was blocking my ride and with a happy tone of voice that asshole said it was him. I hanged up the phone on him, and said Seriously. Thank you Mr Chow for having on educated people working for you. THE END I advise people not to go there anymore. Money should not be the only reason you get help. Sometimes money is not the answer!!!!!!!!! read more

TERRIBLE! Worst meal ever by all standards. The food was sub-standard, the service was horrible, and the atmosphere was awful as we were seated in a hallway with air-conditioning problems and a few other tables having other 'ordinary' customers . Being a big fan of Mr. Chow in Miami, we were quite appalled by the quality of Mr. Chow in LA. Whatever we have ordered from the menu was literally inedible: chicken satay, minced beef pancake, dressed dungeness crab, filet mignon, sweet&sour pork and last but not least the Beijing Duck. We sent back almost all of the dishes. The ceremony to carve the duck, which was quite spectacular in Miami Mr. Chow, was not even performed here. However that was the least of our concerns at that point. The highlight of the night was the waiter's tactical move to deceive us. We were nine people, of which three were kids. Having really enjoyed the duck at Mr. Chow - Miami, we wanted to try the duck which was only available as a part of a fix menu for US$75. As the kids wanted to have different dishes, we wanted to have the option to order the duck menu for 6, and separate orders for the 3 children. That was not possible according to the waiter. Finally he said he could reduce the fix menus to 8 (instead of 9) and 'let' one of the kids order something different. Sounds like a favor right? As we neared the end of the dinner, we realized that 9 people are indeed served 2 ducks, whereas 8 people are served only 1 duck!! So with this 'so called' favor, he made us pay US$75 EACH for only 1 duck, whereas we would be able to get another full duck for by paying extra US$75 only!. The duck was far too dry and bland anyway, so not having one more duck was not a big miss really, but having deceived by the waiter this way was a big fiasco. When we called the manager to complain, he was not nearly apologetic, and even rude. I strongly advise you to AVOID this restaurant at all cost. read more

Average food. Expensive. Celebs and a Lamborghini outside. You pay for the experience.

Took some friends who were visting from out of town. I had read so many great reviews and thought it would be a treat to try this place. We arrived on the late end of the lunch time. The kitchen was literally throwing the dishes at us so they could close. We had so much food on the table at once we could barely eat fast enough. The food was just okay - the beef was fatty and too much gristle and the rest of it was just bland. We were stressed trying to get through our lunch. And, after about 40 minutes of trying to choke lunch down as quickly as possible we get a bill that is just insanely expensive. It was definitely not worth the money. It was an embarrassing experience. The only positive about it were the servers - they really tried to make the experience better. read more

Not sure how to intelligently explain this but the food at Mr Chow Beverly Hills is not very good and no where near as good as the one in NYC. The food is much greasier here and doesn't have the same flavor. It's one thing to pay exorbient amounts of money for good food but when its not good its downright offensive. The Mr Chow's noodles and fried sweet larva were good. Everything else we got just did not meet my standards and were not the same quality in NYC (which I give 4 stars). The peking duck was bland and masked by the plum sauce and scallions. I ate a piece by itself and was not impressed. The orange chicken dish was super greasy and am sure caused my stomach ache later that night. Could have fed me the chicken lettuce cups from PF Changs instead of squab lettuce cups and I wouldn't have known the difference (except on the check). Ok so we saw Jermaine Dupri, Mariah Carey and 50 Cent. I'd rather get good food not big on the celebrity sightings thing. read more

Worst restaurant ever! Very expensive terrible food. Complete waste of time and money. Have no idea how this place is still in business

This is an iconic place. It is packed. Do not go for privacy. You can hear the conversation at every table as you are packed in like sardines. The service is impeccable. The portions couldn't feed little kids. The noodles which are famous are bland, the spicy filet mignon has no spice, it's sweet. The shrimp we ordered was cooked in mayonnaise. I would not recommend this place. It is extremely expensive and there are much better restaurants in Beverly Hills. They were super nice as it was my anniversary and gave us a free dessert. read more

Fantastic food, drinks, service... say no more

Tried this for lunch as we were in the area. Yelpers, you let me down on this one. So sad for all the stars that actually eat and are seen at this establishment. Mr. Chow, I would love to meet you and figure out what makes this place so famous! Honestly, I was shocked, what a let down. We ordered the famous Mr Chows noodles, Beijing chicken, green prawns and a couple martinis. The noodles, in the reviews, sounded amazing. When they actually showed up, it was like there was some brown unappealing paste on top of the most ordinary noodles. The quality of the chicken or prawn dish was not up to par, and believe me, I have eaten at top notch restaurants all over! I even had to spice my food up, make it a little Chinese style by adding their hot sauce, which, other than the customer service was the only memorable item. What a disappointment. Definitely not making this mistake ever again. read more

Very little portion for every dish, and nothing special at all. If you are looking for some fancy place and don't care about if you actually get what you are paying for, you can probably check it out. read more

i told you i would write back today ater my experience at Mr. Chows and ofcourse taking in all the recommendations from all of you. I ordered the Lobster(cut 3 ways) and was totally disappointed, the glazed oyster sauce was overwhelming in texture yet had no taste.. The Green Shrimp was good if you have nothing else to eat, but it was so greesy I think I have extra cellulite this morning. The best thing EVER was the Walnut Chicken, the most tastiest!! I actually ordered an extra one to go! by that time I was so full. I wasn not impressed with their suggestion in wine to pair up with the food. Their Pino Grigio sucked... As far as the service it wasn't bad but definitely not the best. I got there late, round 1030pm, so half the place was gone, NO EXCUSE I enjoyed seeing Latoya jackson and alot of other music exec's. Besides the people watching it is very overrated. The deserts are very bad. I orered their "famous" berry crusted pie. and the chocolate mousse. Horrible. Deserts at Craft and Hatfields, The hideaway, kills Mr. Chows. I would go again for the walnut chicken and to try some scallops and maybe sea bass. Again, if it wasn't for the people watching(if your into the music exec world) I wouldn't ever go again. They are over priced...I saw a glass of wine for $35 dollars...I've been to all the 5 star restaurants and never have i seen a reg glass of wine for that much.Ok...I'm done. Enjoy! read more

Mr Chow located in Beverly Hills was pretty empty when we arrived. We had made a reservation weeks in advance and were seated right away. 4 waiters came over to are table to show there display of wines and alcohol and they placed napkins on are laps. They handed us there menu. We each got the Mr. Chow which is the $58.00 per person menu option which gave us an appetizer, an entree, and a side. We got the green shrimp, chicken Joanna, shrimp and rice, broccoli and mushrooms, crunchy beef, salt and pepper prawns, squab with lettuce, and the flash fried spinach. Everything was amazing especially the green shrimp. It was cooked perfectly and probably the best shrimp I have ever had! We finished off our meal with a cappuccino and 2 desserts. A slice of the mixed berry tart and a slice of the chocolate mousse cake. They were both great and better than most desserts I have had at restaurants. There was not one negative thing to say is this review. Overall: Me Chow might be pricy but definitely will impress you with their 5 star food. read more

It's actually kind of laughable that this place is still hanging on. A celebrity eatery or not, it's a hyped up PF Changs that is resting on it's laurels. Food is fine, decor is terrible, and overall it's just nothing to write home about. There were three of us. We had 2 drinks each, and the recommended sampling thing. Again, it was like really good PF Changs. But it came out to $480 including tip for not nearly that much worth of food or service. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambience. Will definitely be back next time we're in LA.

We have been going to Mr. Chows since I was a child in the 70's. We recently visited the Malibu location. Although the food is always tasty, it's not worth the money, the snotty service and the unbearably loud noise. This new location is also very cramped. Try joss in Beverly hills. The food is even better, not as salty, , less pricey, and not crowded. Get over yourself Mr. Chow. read more

My wife saw an article on this place in Los Angeles magazine and started bugging me about trying it out so we went tonight with my daughter; I'd heard about Mr Chows in Beverly Hills over the years but I'd just never made it to the place. They have $9 valet parking out front and they're just one block west of all the high end stores on super pricey Rodeo Drive so I should have known what I was in for price wise. My wife takes the suggested small flute of champagne, I thought it would be around a reasonable $10 but I found out later on the bill it was $38 per very slim flute, LOL! We got the Mr Chows special (everything was very yummy!) which was $58 a person including a 2 course meal with dumplings, some kind of meat with noodles dish with plum sauce and a lettuce wrap with some chicken pieces in it. Then the main course consisted of lobster, some kind of sweet and sour chicken dish, the best buttered Broccoli I've ever had and a sweet kind of meat served skewered style and shrimp fried rice. I finished it off with a pretty good piece of chocolate mousse cake. The ambience was fantastic and we had a very personable waiter from New York. I'll go back again but probably for a special occasion because it was too pricey for one of our weekly night out dinners as I ended dropping almost $330 with tip. read more

I had a most horrible experience attempting to go to this branch just before the holidays. I had gone many times to the branches in NY n London and my girlfriend suggested we try this branch. So I parked outside w/ my girlfriend in the car to go c about availability. As I entered the place seemed crowded but there were two empty chairs at the bar and I figured we'd hang there till an opening. I noticed there was a package on one of the seats so I asked the hostess if it was taken. Just at that moment the maitre de came and asked what I wanted. As I began to explain he seemed very agitated and with a brash voice said this place is not a bar and if I wanted a bar to go across the street. I told him he was very rude and for him to tone down his attitude. At that point he went outside and sent in the security guard who asked me to step outside which I did and explained to him what happened and asked him to give me the contact number of HQ which he did. I called several times leaving messages for Mr. & Mrs. Chow and a Miyoo. I never got a courtesy call back and figured these guys probably do not care so much about what clients think re their business. Nevertheless I sent an email to Miyoo and finally she called n after I explaind the situation to her and said I was shocked this guy Chris would jeopardize his position by acting the way he did ( I think he was either drunk or high ) she said she would definitely look into the matter n call me bk. She never did. Needless to say with horrible customer service like this I will never go back & will spread the word. read more

I have NEVER written a review for anything, so you can imagine how bothered I really am right now. My friend and I went to Mr. Chow on Wed. night for dinner. It was prolly the WORST food I have ever eaten in my life. It's supposed to be chinese food. I think I've had better meals at Panda Express! And for a lot cheaper. And I'm not ashamed to say this, but if anyone thinks Mr. Chow is good, they are tasteless, low class people who have never know class or have eaten at truly fine restaurants. I guess you have to be cultured to appreciate good food. I do not mind spending the big bucks for good food, but Mr. Chow was not good. And trust me, I have been all around the world and eaten at the finest restaurants and this was crap. I ordered 1 order of crispy beef which was supposed to be great according to the waiter. When it came, the plate was as big as a teacup saucer and it was orange colored. So when I bit into it I realized that I was actually just eating fried batter with carrots. There was NO beef in it. I should have sent it back, but we were already so irriated I figured I'd just eat it since we were already trapped there. So apparently it's the cool LA thing to pay $30.00 for a child size portion of fried batter. Plus the steamed rice which is worth 12 cents was $6.00 per person. Plus we had been there for like 2 minutes and we were asked by 3 separate people if we wanted a drink from the bar. Which is rude and annoying. And the decorations are still from the 80's. And the seating is riddiculous. They have u packed in like sardines. I'm serious, the waiter has to pull out the table so u can sit cuz the tables are so close to one another. You could feel your neighbors heartbeat, that's how close they have u seated!! My friend and I left there minus $50.00 each, hungry and then still had to pay $10 for valet. Probably one of our worst expriences ever! It just made me realize whow many lame people there are out there. People are so fake. Just cuz some stupid celebrity eats somewhere or says something is good or cool doesn't mean it is. I wanted to yell at everyone in the restaurant that they were stupid for thinking that food is good. I mean seriously, that's the best chinese food they've ever eaten? How freaking pathetic. If I opened a little hole in the wall restaurant along some blvd and served the same food there for 75% cheaper, none of those people would eat there. But then they go to Mr. Chow and spend $30 a mini plate for crap. And these are supposed to be people with money...how sad. Go to PF Changs! read more

This place has the best Chinese food in Beverly Hills hands down! The service is impeccable and the food is fantastic. My boyfriend and I frequent Mr Chow and have never had a bad experience, we have always left very happy and satisfied. read more

Oh Mr Chow, we were so excited to come and eat and what a disappointment you were. From the poor service to the very bland food, we were so bummed. I have two stars bc my entree of sea bass was pretty good. But the apps of chicken satay (honestly tasted like Cheetos) and pastry puff of a vegetable (so bland, no flavor at all) so boring. There is a reason waiters have tables of their own, because they pay attention to them-the staff could of cared less if we needed something because they were waiting for someone else to do it. Maybe it was an off night, but we won't be back. Go eat at Panda Express, it's way cheaper and better. read more

Over rated, over hyped, over priced joint with the most unpleasant patronizing management. Aggressive, supercilious, prententious staff with total disregard for the client.Contemptuous attitude to those who do not order more when pushed esp drinks. They run a trolley filled with ice and champagne up and down the aisles like in an airplane unapologetically crashing into seats. The Staff rushes to throw precooked food on your table the quicker the better to get you out the door.The food was tasteless, luke-warm and way below the standard of any cuisine of even lesseer known repute. Generally the most unpleasant dining experience bar none. Manager tops it off by telling you if you don't like it you can leave. read more

I was disappointed. This place was recommended to me by a friend, so I decided to check it out. I expected the prices to be high and the portions to be small, as they were. What I did not expect is that the food would be nearly tasteless. We ordered glazed prawns, Beijing chicken, Dungeness crab, squid ink noodles, and potstickers. I will say this - the prawns and chicken were fantastic. Individually, I'd give the prawns 5 stars and the chicken 4. The rest of the food was subpar at best. The potstickers were nothing better than you get at any other Asian restaurant, and probably worse than PF Chang's. I was excited to try the squid ink noodles, since it sounded exotic and interesting. The only interesting part was the black color the ink gave the noodles, because you can't taste them. Honestly, this is one of the most flavorless foods I've ever eaten. The crab was the biggest disappointment. It was nearly flavorless as well. I'm not sure if it's the worst crab I've ever had, but it's close. I am so disappointed with Mr. Chow that I can't really put it into words that are appropriate for yelp. And if anyone sees my review and assumes I just don't know Asian food, I'll just let you know it's one of my favorite foods and I know it quite well, frog legs, eel, sushi and all. But this place is awful, unless your taste buds don't exist, which they might as well not if you're eating here. Bottom line, look elsewhere unless you want to spend $300 to not taste a few bites of food and then go somewhere else to fill up anyways. read more

Everytime i come here my swagger gets a little more swaggeriffic. Mr Chow is the spot!! Even though the food is a little on the pricey side, its actually really good and the portions are just big enough to where i feel satisfied and dont complain about them. The lobster, steak, duck, shrimp, fish... everything is great. I always see celebs there too, its kinda cool to eat dinner 2 feet away (yes it is a little cramped up in there) from a celebrity. read more

Well, I went to Mr. Chow about a month ago with my best friend who was visiting from Florida. She really wanted to go there and we went for lunch on a Monday or Tuesday (I can't remember). We had no trouble making a reservation a couple of days ahead of time and were seated immediately upon arrival. There were very few patrons in the restaurant so there were no celebrity sightings. The waiters were very accomodating and the service was good. The food was good but not great. We had no complaints and liked everything we ordered. We weren't talked into ordering anything and had no trouble getting a menu or ordering from the menu. It was very very expensive though. For a one-time experience, I did enjoy it and my friend paid the bill (about $100 for three of us for lunch, and we were conservative with what we ordered). But I think you could get much better Chinese food elsewhere for a much much much better price. read more

The food wasn't even good at this place. Small plates and not that good. The service was very slow. I had a reservation and we ended up waiting 20 minutes for our table. And what's up with all those tiny tables next to each other. I would understand if it was in NYC but you would expect a little space when you go to a fancy place like this. read more

Good service- subpar food. Friends and I have been coming here for years and after last experience safe to say that will be my last. Mainly have frequented due to lack of good Chinese in area, but quality has GREATLY fallen. Food is okay (on best day). Turning into a spot overrun by tourists- not for me! read more

Don't listen to all these people freaking out about Mr. Chows. The food here is superb and I do mean SUPERB. I will admit the service is a little funky and at times is a little frustrating (so what! service has been getting worse and worse throughout the years everywhere). The people who claim "PF Chang's quality" probably have been eating too much Chang's and have had their taste distorted by lack of quality. Some of the food here is prepared in a much different fashion, that most people aren't familiar with. I can't stand P.F. Chang's, its dry, plain and every dish tastes the same. PF Chang's and Mr Chow's should never ever be in the same sentence let alone compared to one another. Each dish at Mr. Chow's is so unique and different then another its outstanding!! The tables however are cramped and space is limited. There are 2 rooms to dine in as well as a bar up front. Regardless if you have reservations plan on waiting a little before being seated (anywhere from 5-20 minutes). Spend that time at the bar and have a cocktail. I have been here numerous times so I know how it goes. In the past I have also celebrated my birthday here. On my birthday the service was great and the food was........excellent. If your planing on eating here in a group larger then 4 or 5 plan on spending $80-100 a person (thats if your ordering a tasteful amount of food and some drinks, not Champagne) Just thinking about it.....Im off to CHOWS read more

If you enjoying seeing celebrities, you'll probably see someone famous here. Be warned. Don't go for the food. I had a chicken dish that looked like they literally boiled the chicken and put it on a plate. No sauce. Just water on the plate and the chicken. The serving was small and the price was outrageous! read more

GREAT service, nice space & atmosphere, but the food was rather disappointing for the price. Maybe I was expecting a different kind of Chinese food, but after spending $70 a person (we didn't drink anything but water) I'd like to be full and satisfied, but I wasn't. We went to In N Out after. read more

Go here for the ambiance and not the food. Sure, it was exciting to be in the presence of a few celebrities, but the food was really quite mediocre. The scallops were undercooked and both chicken dishes were a little dry. The noodles, however were delicious. Without the allure of the crowd, it's easily a 3 star experience. read more

Beside celebrity/people-watching, it's always crowded and loud. Not the best place for a relaxed, chill dinner. However, the food is good and served fast. I recommend the Mr Chow noodles and vegetarian dumplings. read more

well im going to give an honest view of mr. chows. in my personal opinion the food is overpriced but it's not really all that unreasonable. you can get a 2 course meal for $58 (appetizer and a main course). So if you're on a date, get two of those. That way you both can try basically 4 dishes. Was the food good. yes it was. was it the best thing i ever ate in my life. naw, sorry. the service was really good though and you never had to ask for water. oh wait, maybe because it's $10 for a Fiji bottle there so of course they keep pouring it. Were there celebs there.....yea i saw one, maybe two. however, they are people just like us. this is a great place for a date or just to hang with friends. pros: food is good. plenty of options. the dessert is actually pretty good.actually i think i have spent more than here before with just one other person. so its' definitely overpriced but not that bad. and you get the experience of saying you've had it. cons: it's pretty tight in there in terms of table seating. you are literally elbows away from another person. i dont recommend this for a date when you do not know the person becuase the other people are definitely in your conversations at the other tables. if you are closterphobic (sp?) then this is not a place for you. overall impression: good food, good ambiance...GREAT service, but honestly you're paying for the zip code and the sake of saying you've been here. can you get better chinese food somewhere else, i'im sure of it. will you be able to say you've eaten at Mr. Chow's if you go somewhere else.....no. :) P.S. Gents this is a dressy place. Wear a collard shirt or a sportscoat or a suit without a tie. i saw a few people that were in sweatshirts and they really looked out of place. read more

This is not authentic Chinese food, it is Beverly Hills ! A Martini is $20.00 ! No drink menu so beware. The service was attentive, but not polite. We were a party of four for the dine L. A. price fixed . The waiter insisted we couldn't order three price fixed plates and one from the menu.He was rude and vehemently argued until we just gave up and let him bring what he wanted. The food was not good , but mostly not bad. Except for the "premade frozen dumplings- just not eatable! One dish was just breaded chicken tenders- how is that Chinese?The fried shrimp balls were tasty. Green beans were O K /Pork with cabbage boring/ Nice rice- And here is the kicker- False advertizing!! The squab salad is really chicken ,( as the waiter told us) just plain ground up chicken with no flavoring.When you go to a Chinese restaurant and there isn't one Chinese person waiting on you or eating there- walk out- This is Beverly Hills bad Chinese food- I will never go back. read more

We've had $2.00 tacos that were delicious. Mr. chows was a $250.00 dinner for 2 that was tasteless. Tables were cramped & service was, eh! That's all I can say. Should have just stuck with one of our local favorites. Not a good place to celebrate an anniversary. Lesson learned! read more

This is the biggest rip off I've been to in a long time. I went with a friend of mine who was treating me. 1. SEATING. We got seated at a section where the tables were all stuck together. In order to get up to even go to the bathroom, you literally have to wait until a waiter pulls out the table for you to get out. I am slightly claustrophobic, so requested another table and was denied. I asked again and was finally seated at a round table that seat four. Whew. But only after the head host with the British accent mocked me saying we get hundreds of people here when I told him this is unacceptable and a fire hazard. 2. Food is overpriced and mediocre. Better food at a hole in the wall. One scallop costs $11. Yes, ONE scallop, but at least that tasted good, not fabulous. The rest, like Mr. Chow's noodles and vermicelli with Lobster, very mediocre. 3. COCKTAIL menu is limited. The lychee martini was nice and strong, but flavor was so so. I will not go back again. After the rude seating situation, I would have left except for the fact that my friend was nice enough to treat me there and I wanted to stay positive. read more
