I would like to say that for whatever reason when our complete party arrived, we were shunted up to the top floor rather than the main dining area even though there were plenty of seats available in the main area. When we balked, our Greeter wanted to us to dine in the back room , again away from the main area. I dont know, I was coming from work and looked business casual. This, honestly, dropped my enthusiasm for the restaurant and the entire meal itself. The chicken satay was different from anything I have ever tasted and not in a good way. It was gloppy. But had the customer service was more inviting I might not be feeling low about the experience. read more

Wow. So the vibes here are insane. It's like a hidden little underground restaurant will club energy?? Idk it's hard to put this place into words but I will say, the extra dirty martinis are STRONG pours. Ended up getting too drunk to even remember how good the meal was but I took some pics that looked incredible read more

This is defiantly over hyped. Went out to eat here for Valentines day the decor is nice, al though there was construction right outside there door. The place is SMALL, not cozy very small. My man in 6'7 and I am 5"10 so the little tables bunched together really wasn't our thing. Couldn't really have an intimate convo either because you hear everyone else conversation. The food was eh, I loved the veggie rolls. I order the curry chicken and couldn't shake the queasy feeling I got when I started eating. Wasn't the best, but Im west Indian its hard to like other cultures rendition of curry. Wouldn't look forward to coming here again its more of place for special occasion or to say you've dined there. read more

Thanks so much Mike for being an awesome waiter! I appreciate your understanding to me ordering the wrong noodles and willingness to correct what intended. It worked out, as my daughter loved the Mr. Cheung's noodles. See you again soon! read more

Food was amazing, especially the appetizers which had a unique taste like no other Chinese luxury cuisine in so many years of NYC dining. The overall ambience in the main room had a classic UES buzzing energy as one would expect from PC. The waiter was not very professional; for example didn't seem to have heard of the items on the menu that I requested, and missed a few other key points such as hello, goodbye and how was your meal. MMA fight on TV gave more of a lower class feel as well. 3.5/5 this round but I will likely be back to try other dishes which looked truly mouth-watering as they came out. read more

To be honest, the food was just ok to good. Except for the crispy duck! They made that to perfection....go here for drinks and ducks! read more

Went to the UES location, food and service was great! The waiter Mike was really kind and made my birthday very special!

Philippe's is one of those nice spots that you don't feel bad spending paper in. This is because instead of serving artisan plates, they serve dishes family style. One thing I hate is going to a restaurant with mean decor and being underwhelmed by the food, or still hungry. This isn't one of those. This evening we started with the chicken satay and shrimp rolls. Main courses my wife had cripsy beef, which was tasty. I initially ordered the spicy velvet chicken selection, but I sent it back, I didn't like the taste or texture of the chicken. I dunno, it was like rubbery. I've been here mad times and although I never got this dish in particular, this was the first time that happened to me. I got Kung Pao chicken instead, which was much better. Garlic broccoli and chicken fried rice was banging. I'll be back yet again. read more

If you haven't been to Philippe by Phillips chow you are missing out. It is the best Restaurant. From the custom cocktails like lychee martinis to a masterpiece desert, baked Alaska table side as they flame cotton candy creating a spectacular display with lingering aroma of sweet. We have been there many times for the lettuce wraps, chicken satay appetizers which is to die for. Last night was the first time we had the lobster satay and it was the best way to prepare lobster. A dusting of batter wrapped around a whole tail split in half on skewers over the peanut sauce is my ne favorite. The Peking Duck served tableside never disappoints. Be sure to reserve the Peking Duck when you make a reservation so you dont miss out on my favorite, Peking duck. Philippe I highly recommend for any occasion! read more

Due to covid my friends and I had an early dinner. As soon as we walked in there was hand sanitizer there. I had reservations were a little early but able to get seated right away. We had an amazing waiter who is very attentive. We started out with drinks for which were also very strong but very good. My friends didn't enjoy the dumplings but I enjoyed my chicken satay's. We each ordered a chicken dish and there was enough for us all to share my friend got the Kung pow chicken my other friend got the Beijing chicken and I got the sweet-and-sour chicken. While it was all good and flavorful we all agreed that sweet-and-sour chicken is best. Now here's to the best part of the evening. I was celebrating my birthday so I wanted the Alaskan dessert. The waiter bring it out and also brought a sparkler and sang me happy birthday. I appreciate them going out of their way to make me feel special on my day. I Felt safe eating. Everyone had on gloves and mask. There where partition between each table and social distancing was enforced. I would definitely return again. read more

If you are African-American or a person of African decent I would not suggest going to this restaurant they are extremely racist towards African-American people I don't understand why......if you read most of the comments below you will see that most of the Low star comments from African-American people. When you are African-American and you go to the restaurant you are treated extremely poor you are not offered simple this pertaining to find dining for example water.... your waiter comes to your table only one time and then again again back to collect payment.. I watched the waiter be extremely attentive to other tables of people who were of Caucasian and Asian decent.. this is not the first time that I was treated like this at this establishment and this is not how you treat people everybody should be treated a the same no matter what color you are ..I literally sat at my table and watch people be served water when I had no water service to me the whole entire time I was there to dine.. this made me very uncomfortable and I don't think that I will be returning to this particular location ever in my life.. I used to love this place I actually spent two of my birthdays here but now I have been treated with disrespect because of the color of my skin and that is not acceptable something needs to be done about this.. (I really hated writing this review but this racism situation really needs to be addressed) read more

Came here on Valentine's Day. We had no problems reserving a table. They warn you that if you cancel after the day before your reservation it's $50. No problem. There is a parking garage around the block that I parked in. $50 for the 35 min. Haha New York you're so silly, for real! This does not reflect my review just saying parking is near. So came in about ten minutes early and was greeted by the hostess. Waited about 5 min until our table was ready. The waiting area is a lounge and it's very comfortable. Escorted down to the back room. Great atmosphere. The decor is very elegant yet subtle. Classy. The tables are snug but bearable. The drink menu has plenty of options, pages and pages. The dinner menu is simple and self explanatory. Knew to try the chicken satay appetizer. After that we just winged it and ordered chicken and broccoli, chicken jo lau, and chicken fried rice. The chicken satay was out of this world. That peanut sauce that it comes with I can just eat with sown white rice. It's so creamy and rich it can be paired with something so simple and make it amazing. It really is his famous sauce. The chicken being orange gave me the impression that it would be seasoned but it wasn't that much. Not overpowering at all. It was delicious. Wish we just ordered a bunch of those with some rice. It would have been perfect. The main entrees were honestly not impressive at all. Could have been that we ordered the wrong things but to order three wrong things hmm. The chicken fried rice had no flavor at all. Even with the eggs and vegetables in it. Same with the chicken and broccoli. There is supposedly garlic sauce on it but didn't taste a thing. Yes it's great quality chicken. Not that paper thin chicken from the Chinese spots but no flavor at all. The chicken jo lau was a little bit better than the rest because the sauce tasted like a buttery garlic sauce. But it left a weird aftertaste flavor in our mouths like bitter garlic almost. At this point we were thinking we were just better off going to the corner Chinese spot. Also this place is inconsistent. Our dining experience was lovely. The service was on point. Attentive waiters who fill your water glass when almost empty. They clear the tables once done in a timely manner. We got our food in about 10 min after sitting down and ordering. Our reservation was at 4pm and we left the restaurant at 4:30pm. Sounds like we were being pigs but we just got our food super fast. BUT the table right next to us who were sat way before us didn't get their food as quick and their order was messed up. Also on Valentine's Day everyone leaves with a rose. I didn't get one. I would give this place another shot in the future possibly. read more

I dined during NYC Restaurant Week and was able to experience different dishes. I sat outside and appreciated the waiters for wearing masks. All of the food was delicious, I only wished they gave a bigger bowl of rice lol. The vegetarian options seemed smaller than meat eaters so I'll definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend me took out to Philippes for dinner, and it was so delicious. The service was outstanding and everything else was top notch. For appetizers we had dim sum, which was fairly small but delicious none the less. We both had alcoholic beverages which were nice and strong. For dinner we ordered fried rice with bits of chicken in it, the broccoli filet mignon and some kind of chicken with spicy sauce on it. We could've easily skipped on the chicken it wasn't anything special, but oh my the broccoli filet mignon was to die for ! It was soooo good I've never combined the two in my life with a spivey sauce like they did. I would only go back for the broccoli filet mignon because the portions were extremely small for a big price. Safe to say we cleaned out each plate and left nothing behind. Lastly, dessert was fantastic. It made the dinner complete. I had their chocolate fudge cake and an espresso shot which was actually huge. The cake was so delicious i thought about it for a week after. The only complaint I have is how the tables were too close together, there is no privacy between conversations but then again it's Manhattan and everything cramped in this city. You won't be disappointed if you come here ! read more

Was delighted to get a reservation for 14 at the last moment, but now wish they hadn't had room for us. Experienced multiple disappointments throughout the meal. In priority order: 1) a server indicated that a dumpling dish was vegetarian when it was not, with subsequent consumption and emotional trauma, 2) the prix fixe menu items were quite heavy (e.g., with breading, oils, and sauces), 3) had to re-order drinks multiple times, 4) had to re-order two soup orders (which basically became part of the entrees), 5) service was not very attentive in general, and 6) desserts came without dessert plates and utensils for some diners. For as much as we paid, I expected a lot more. read more

Always a great place and food is always great. I have only been to the one on 60th street. My favorite way to dine there is in the wine cellar. It's private and intimate setting for dinner. The drinks are very strong and they do not shy away for giving you what you ask for. Crispy seaweed & chilean sea bass are my favorite things on the menu. read more

The restaurant was wonderful waiter Mike was fantastic. I definitely recommend this place

Do you like to eat dinner in a dark, cave-like nightclub with loud, throbbing music? Does the thought of paying $22 for spring rolls appeal? Yes?? Then you'll love Philippe! The food was pretty good, though not in my view worth the price--people are definitely paying for the vibe, and I hate that vibe, for dinner at least. read more

Great Chinese food. Can't say it's worth the price tag for fried rice but the spot is extremely trendy and has a celebrity following. I went here for dinner two years ago and was 10 mins late for my reservation and the hostess was going to turn me away. My girlfriend got a manager and got us an accommodation in one of the wine cellars by the kitchen. We had a nice corner and ordered Surf and Turf. Washed it down with Pellegrino and had Baked Alaska for desert. Waiter was funny and kept everyone entertained.... I recommend going for the experience. If you go , don't be late !!!!!

Two orders of vegetable lettuce wraps at $22 each were no more than chopped up zucchini. Very disappointing to say the least where are the veggies ? read more

Really overrated. While perusing the menu, i felt as if i were looking at your average chinese take out menu. My boyfriend and I ordered the lobster satay, some bok choy and the peking duck. The lobster satay was covered in batter, fried, and then served with a peanut sauce. The sauce was delicious but it was more of a cheese flavor than peanut and unfortunately the lobster itself had lost all its flavor and did not taste like lobster at all. Bok Choy was subpar and was nothing special, just drenched in a traditional garlic sauce. Peking duck took awhile to reach the table and the pancakes still tasted doughy. Service was attentive and friendly, but other than that the price for the food was not worth it. Save your money and go to Chinatown for the same food at better prices. read more

My favorite date restaraunt! Always start with my chicken satay and lychee martini !!

My boyfriend and I come here every time we want to splurge on each other.. I treated him for Father's Day and the food was GREAT as usual.. We had double chicken satays (6 pieces) and shrimp satay as appetizers.. As main we had the Beijing chicken, vegetable fried rice, the broccoli and the spicy prawns (forgot the exact name). We also tasted the Shanghai Philippe cocktail for the first time and were not impressed so we went back to our usual, him an apple martini, and me a lychee martini.. We also had the baked Alaska for the first time and it wasn't that bad.. I loved it but my boyfriend didn't like the burnt marshmallow tast.. I've been back many times and was told by the general manager that he would give us a good table if we just mention his name.. We didn't, we literally got sat at the same exact seat as last time.. Food is still our favorite BEST EVER!! read more

I took my husband for his 53rd birthday. The food was amazing however some of the waiters particularly the Asian ones gravitate toward Asian and white customers. My husband and I are African American and felt invisible. It was an uncomfortable feeling and it took a lot for me to restrain myself from saying something. Overall the atmosphere is inviting and the food is excellent. read more

Another Fabulous Friday, and yet Another Fabulous Lunch at Philippe. It's like coming home, it just feels so right. I went with a healthy lunch session today. Chicken and Lettuce Wraps, the Wok BRANZINO over a bed of Auvergne, Special Rice & a Lychee Martini. I decided to pass on dessert today because the portions are amazing and I just don't know where I would put the dessert away. Dessert here is always A++++. There is also a lunch special available for $38.00 - tax and tip not included. Try Philippe out for your next lunch. There is also outdoor seating and chill music. read more

As someone who grew up on homecooked Chinese (Sichuan) cuisine, I can see why a lot of diners might shy away from Philippe. The prices are definitely higher than your typical Chinese restaurant, but neither the food nor the dining experience here is typical. I dined here with a larger group so was able to sample a number of dishes. From the appetizers, I would recommend the Chicken Satays which are super tender and served with an addictive peanut sauce. The noodles are also solid, but my preference was for the Vegetable Lo Mein, which are hand-pulled and served with fresh vegetables and cooked in an addictive sauce. The Lobster Noodles were also a seafood lover's delight, with plenty of chunks of real lobster meat. I think where the restaurant really shines is in their Peking Duck, which is carved tableside and there's elements of showmanship and skill from the chef. The skin is crisp and packed with flavor, and the meat has just enough fat to make for a delicious bite. It's served with pancakes, hoisin, and celery, so you can make yourself the perfect Peking Duck wrap. The Beijing Chicken was also a group favorite, featuring tender chicken meat in a bright red sauce. For the dessert: the Cotton Candy Baked Alaska makes for a great closing spectacle, and features a Baked Alaska hidden in a dome of cotton candy. Yes, there's fire, and yes, it's delicious. For special occasions, I'd recommend visiting Philippe for a unique dining experience and a modern take on traditional Chinese dishes. read more

Came here last night for a friends birthday celebration. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, nice lighting and is definitely a good place to take your mate, but also good for birthdays and/or groups. We were a party of 10 and everyone was very pleased with their meal. I had the filet mignon and broccoli, it was excellent. I would also recommend the Banana Bangkok, a bit pricey ($18) but a very good drink . The birthday girl arrived late, so I struck up a conversation with the hostess, she was very courteous and helpful; as were the servers. I definitely recommend this place. read more

My sister booked a reservation here for my family while we were staying in NYC. The restaurant has a great vibe and atmosphere with a shiek selection of music and subtle bass thumping in the background. We ordered the peking duck spring rolls, pork soup dumplings, crispy kale, and salt & pepper eggplant as starters. For entrees we got the chilean sea bass, wok seared branzino, crispy beef, and filey mignon. My favorite dish was definitely the filet mignon and chilean sea bass. While the food was cooked well and tasty, I was a bit unimpressed with it based on the price. I feel like for this price category, there should be more creativity and artistry expressed in the dishes to set them apart from your typical Chinese restaurant. They don't do anything flavor-wise that made me go "DAMN, that was good." The presentation was mediocre but since it's dim in the restaurant, you can't see too much detail anyways. I would say that the service was on point. There are a ton of waiters walking around all the time so they make sure that you are taken care of. If you want good, authentic Chinese food, just go to a hole in the wall or family restaurant in Flushing and pay 1/3 the price. read more

Philippe Chow - How cute are these chopstix holders!!!! - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Maybe I had higher expectations and was disappointed. However, there are other dishes I want to try and will go back. We ordered 1. shrimp spring roll: thin, crispy exterior and 2 bland shrimp inside - definitely use the sauce. 2. Shrimp dumpling nothing special 3. Pork fried rice - stood out because it's a good portion in a small deep dish and didn't have any oil. It was missing something...flavor, onions, scallions 4. Kung pao chicken: chicken chunks, with a sweet sauce, scallion, peanuts and pepper somehow it was still bland. 5. Lastly Peking duck, no flavor, off course full of fat, and it didn't have crispy skin. The food was fast, attentive service,white cloth table give it's a classy ambiance, candle on the table and the cutest chopsticks holder (panda). read more
