Max H.

This is their lunch price fixe. It is $42. You get an appetizer, I got the chicken satay, you get 2. You can also get hot and sour Soup or chicken lettuce wraps. Then for an entree I got the filet mignon and green beans. They have bejing chicken, branzino, even Chilean sea bass as an $14 supplement. You get a thing of jasmine rice large enough to nauseate the keto crowd and then for desert either ice cream, seasonal sorbet. Or chocolate trilogy cake for an extra $8. Overall pretty good, chicken satay was great as usual. Filet mignon was really tender, didn't love the string beans. If you do the satay and the bejing chicken or filet it's probably worth it.

New Location, same great staff from Madison. Very happy that they are back. The new space is sooooo beautiful. Service is consistently good and food is better than ever. No complaints. My go-to for good food in NYC!

Very good! Chinese is always a difficult cuisine to impress with especially in New York where we have so much great Chinese food. However, Philippe Chow really does elevated Chinese well and we truly enjoyed every aspect of our meal. From each of the dishes we got to the fantastic lychee martinis we were well impressed with Philippe Chow. Service was very good although we had to wait a little for our table but that's OK. I absolutely love the ambience in this restaurant. It's nice and dark and moody and is perfect for the vibe they are trying to create. Philippe Chow is definitely one that we will keep coming back to!

Came here for my best friends birthday and we had a great time. The service was impeccable and our server Michael, was super attentive, helpful, and kind. I had the hot and sour soup and the crispy duck salad. Both were amazing and super tasty, especially the duck! We sat in the back room and ambiance felt super intimate and I would highly recommend it for a large group.

I can see the appeal of this place for some people. It just wasn't for me. This is a very inauthentic higher end Chinese. Think of PF Changs but upscale. Food is so sweet here. And I mean everything. Even things that should not be sweet like sea bass was like eating dessert. So, if that's what you enjoy you will like this. But don't expect any real Chinese dishes here. Service was disappointing, especially the pacing of food. They brought us our appetizer and soup. Then that was followed by 1 dish. Okay, the tables are small so maybe they were going to bring one dish at a time which is fine. But no. With one main dish served we waited over 1/2 hour then all the remaining dishes came out at once. That's just poor management. Ambiance was hip and modern. Tables are a little too close and tight but okay it's NYC so I can accept that. They also had cute panda chopstick holders. Anyway, if you like sweet, inauthentic, fancy Chinese food this place is for you. It just wasn't what I am looking for when I go out for Chinese. Finally o took an extra star off because apparently they just automatically charge 20% gratuity even for table of just 4 people.

I've been to Philippe downtown twice before and it is one of my favorite restaurants compared to many other Asian restaurants. I always have a good experience. The ambience is always nice. The music is always great. I never had any complaint about whatever I eat. The chicken satay is always my favorite and I always get the Kung pow chicken and the vegetable rice. The drinks are also great as well.

Crispy Duck, Bok Choy
Yande M.

After seeing a video on TikTok of a beautifully cooked duck being sliced, I knew this was a place to immediately put on my "must eat" list. I am absolutely obsessed with peking duck and was happy when I snagged a reservation. Here's the thing - it wasn't busy at all during lunch. I loved that because it was quiet and made for a great escape from the New York noise. The table next to us order the peking duck and it was huge. Definitely met for 3-5 people. Since it was just the two of us, we opted for the crispy duck instead, which was incredible. Service was friendly and attentive. Let's talk about the food: Steamed Dumpling Sampler: 5/5. I love steamed dumplings and being able to try multiple flavors was such a treat. Highly recommend this sampler if you are indecisive. Crispy Duck: 10000/10. Did not disappoint. As I type about it, my mouth is drooling. A must order if the peking duck is too big! Bok Choy: 5/5. There was the right amount of garlic on these. They were delicious and the perfect side to go along with the meal. There is also rice, and thin tortilla-like wraps to eat with the meal. All delicious. Would dine here again!

Chicken and broccoli, Kung Pao Chicken, string Green Beans
Akela J.

I went here for my birthday and its a pretty solid place Overall experience 4/5: I think the service is great, and everything in general feels like an elevated experience. Food: 4/5, now I had the chicken and broccoli and though it had a good flavor I didnt eat much of the chicken because it had that weird mystery meat texture that neighborhood chinese restaurants have so that was very shocking however my friend ordered the kung pao chicken so I ate her meal instead and it was very good. Im really disappointed about that chicken and broccoli though, they need to do better. The vegetable fried rice was my favorite thing there and so delicious!!! Drinks: 3/5 it was not bad it just tasted more like a glass of champagne than a cocktail but my friend's blueberry mojito was very delicious. Service: 4/5 but trending towards 3.5 because the wait staff is so aggressive! As soon as you put a dish down they are running to take it from you before you're even finished! And the attention to detail needs work because if you are drinking sparkling water and it's half empty they run and fill your glass up with regular water ruining the whole drink! This happened 3 separate times and we were not always quick enough to catch them in mid conversation. Other then that out server was very hospitable and friendly Ambiance: place is pretty, but way too dark therefore terrible for pictures. I actually think it would make for a great date night and less of a birthday dinner venue. But overall a lovely experience.

chicken satays ( peanut sauce on side ) / lettuce wraps / scalion pancakes
George T.

I have been to Philippe chow over 100 times since I first discovered it in 2018 and I can say each visit I feel nothing but welcomed by all the employees. The quality of the food it 10/10 and can honestly say I have yet to have a bad experience or bad dish at their uptown location. They play amazing music to compliment the dark, lowkey atmosphere. Shoutout to whoever has their phone hooked up to the Bluetooth. The must eats IMO are : Chicken Satays ( peanut sauce on the side ) , scallion pancakes, Chicken lettuce wraps, House mignon, Crispy Duck, Fried Rice / White Rice ( depends on preference ) There are other great dishes, but these are my go-to's. Each time I visit, whether it is a Private Party in their VIP Basement ( Wine Cellar) or sitting upstairs, Christy, Philippes Manager always makes sure all members of my party are accommodated.

Lychee martini
Karen M.

The staff is lovely. The food was ok. We were seated next to the real housewives of NJ (wannabes) and they were screaming throughout the entire dinner. I can't imagine running back to this place. Every couple who were seated next to us asked to be moved yet nobody picked up on the problem? Exhausting.

A total scam. Ordered the Peking duck and the only cut the skin, none of the meat. And charged us $128 as if we're getting the whole duck.

Walked in on a Wednesday night around 8pm and my friend and I were seated almost immediately. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the new Aegean menu, which featured drinks inspired by countries by the Mediterranean Sea. It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

Wanted one more drink to end the night so stopped in late on a weeknight…read more The drinks were really quite good. I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

One of my friends and I were looking to grab a drink before calling it a night. She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

I was looking for a spot in the area to meet a friend, and after a quick search settled on Little…read moreNed. As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

Come to Little Ned for fantastic cocktails in an intimate setting, you won't be disappointed…read more The space is gorgeous, with bar and table seating on the main floor, as well as some standing tables next to the bar if you can't find a seat right away. There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely focused on making the experience great. A special shoutout to Abel, our server, who made excellent recommendations based on our flavor preferences and helped us discover some incredible drinks.

I stopped by Clemente Bar with a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel. I had never been to…read moreEleven Madison Park before and wanted to check it out, not realizing at first that Clemente Bar is a separate concept from the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
