Yeah Id say that was a pretty splendid meal. Shared everything thank goodness. Started with the wok fried beef dumplings which were good on their own but had this fire ahh spicy honey mustard wow. Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there. read more

Reservation set. Traveling from a conference in Brooklyn. The conference ran over and I have another event to set up in Hell's Kitchen. Reservation time was moved and moved again. The sign states go in hotel and take the elevator. The elevator requires front desk staff to authorize. One person with a line. Call the restaurant, and they state return to open the door and proceed down the steps. Very gracious, seated with attentive service. Lychee martini to kick off the experience. Yes I finished the libation before darting to set up my next commitment. I had the salt and pepper eggplant and shrimp dumplings. The chicken satay was delicious and I am prepared to say better than another (no names less). My dining partner said the eggplant needed some more seasoning. I was happy with the flavor. The shrimp dumplings were delicious. Our server, Daniel was accommodating as we were unable to sit and enjoy all the cuisine. I tasted the red velvet cake and did not leave an impression. I am spoiled by some superb red velvet cake. read more

Team dinner at this highly sought after establishment. Let me say this, I was skeptical of the hype and just how much food we would have. I thought this is a prix fix tasting menu, well I was dead wrong. It was a FEAST. From start to finish it was all amazing the standouts - the satay chicken, crispy beef & the duck with bahn mi wrap. We are so much we needed to be rolled out of there. Well done chef!! Well done!! read more

My homegirl and I decided to have dinner in NYC. I have the BucketListers app on my phone. Checked out some places to dine in NYC and discovered that Philippe Chow was doing a Dining Experience. Very pricey but worth it in the end Moët & Satay -- 4 Course Luxe Dining Experience -- 1 Bottle Of Moët & Chandon Champagne For Every 2 Guests -- Two Courses Of Our Most Popular Appetizers For The Table -- One Entrée Per Guest -- Chefs Selection Of Desserts For The Table Paradise Bay -- Blue Chair Bay Banana Rum, peach schnapps, pineapple, grenadine Porn Star Martini -- Vanilla-Infused Tito's Vodka, passion fruit, lime First Course All Items Served For The Table -- Chicken Satay -- Duck Spring Rolls -- Steamed Edamame Second Course | All Items Served For The Table -- Chicken Lettuce Wraps -- Vegetable Lo Mein -- Steamed Dumpling Sampler (2 Shrimp | 2 Chicken | 2 Vegetable) Choice of Entree -- Maine Lobster: ginger scallion sauce -- Nine Seasons Spicy Prawns: wok fried; sweet and sour spicy sauce, dried red pepper Desserts All Items Served For The Table -- Red Velvet Cake + Moët Macaroons I arrived before my homegirl and although the ticket was timed, there was no rush towards me and my homegirl with regard to dining. Everyone was super friendly and service was impeccable. A + service from everyone. The meal was superb. Everything was tasty and it was a lot of food. We loved everything (except the Steamed Dumplings -- it was just something about the texture) and ended up having to take most of it home b| c it was A LOT!! My favorites from the Menu: -- Chicken Satay, Duck Spring Rolls, Vegetable Lo Mein, and of course the desserts. I do wish that our macaroons were like the ones given during the DC experience (A LOT BIGGER and stamped!!) The restaurant was not crowded during our dining experience and there was a nice amount of lighting. Very easy for my homegirl and I to maintain conversation without too much ambient noise. Would definitely return around the same time. The drinks were fire and the Champagne was even more lovely. Our waiter checked in with us from time to time and kept our glasses filled. My homegirl and I had a wonderful time. Oh and those steps are dangerous to a drunk person upon leaving, lol!! read more

Philippe Chow is why Yelp exists. You would otherwise never know that this upscale Chinese Restaurant blasts club music and mandates 20% gratuities. The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant. read more

Purchased the Bucket Listers "Moet & satay" 4 course luxe dining experience for $220 for (every) two people. It specifies up front all that is included (see photos) in the price except NYS tax and automatic 20% gratuity and any additional purchases of course. I booked it for Monday night 7:30-9pm, but I think we were there beyond that time and we weren't rushed (maybe if it was busier). The experience includes a bottle of Moet but if you don't like champagne, they'll give you 2 cocktails per person instead. Had a really good dining experience. Our server was Juan Pablo S, and he was pretty good. Attentive and friendly. We didn't have to remind him of anything except ice every time lol. The ambiance in here is very cute and modern. I mean it's Philipe Chow so it's expected. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the way they do the bill, which I believe they do to increase the amount the 20% gratuity is charged on. For example, the bottle of Moët is already included in the $220 I paid for the experience in advance, yet, they listed it on the bill and included it in the 20% gratuity calculation. Also, for our entrees, we picked items that included an up charge: I had the Maine lobster, she had the Chilean sea bass. On the "Moet & satay" menu, it lists the lobster up charge as +$45 and the sea bass as +$8, yet, they charged us the full price for both items on the bill, $105 for the lobster and $68 for the sea bass. Obviously, that inflates the amount that the 20% gratuity is charged on. I enjoyed the 4 course dining experience. The first 2 courses includes 3 items each. All the food included in the experience was delicious and good portions. Everything came out nicely paced and was hot and fresh. There's also a good variety to choose from for the entree options without the up charge if you don't want to spend extra. We also ordered some extra cocktails which ran $24 a piece but they were both really good and worth the price. Definitely a cute experience for a date night, special occasion, or just a girls night out. read more

This was one of the restaurants I was looking forward to visiting and as much as I hate to say it, this was the one I was most disappointed in. Haven't visited a Philippe Chow since they closed in my city, and I enjoy the fact that his food is a variation of Mr. Chow's but at a better price point. From what I ate tonight, the portions are larger as well which is a plus, and steamed rice also comes with some of the entrees where you'd be paying $14+ for this at other restaurants. However it was the service here that was lacking. Being at the bar, initially I was the only one besides a couple further down, and it appeared as though one bartender was working, which I understand can be tough for just one to serve patrons at the bar as well as the rest of the restaurant even though it was a quiet Monday. I was greeted within a decent amount of time, asking if I could eat dinner at the bar and was told yes. I thought she was going to grab a menu but I was left sitting there for a lot longer than I should have been. Going back to ask the hostess for a menu, she actually asked, 'you didn't get one?', then apologized and handed one over. By the time the bartender came back, I knew what I wanted and I let her know I was trying to decide between an appetizer or dessert. I ended up adding on the appetizer, which of course came out later than my dinner but no big deal since I ordered it after the fact. She did check in and refilled water so I felt things were improving. Food was pretty enjoyable; the Beijing chicken was larger cut than what I'm used to at Mr. Chow, but hey, more food. The appetizer of scallion pancakes were really good; a little greasy but delicious. The clear sweet and sour sauce was also a perfect addition. When she checked in with me once I was done, I told her I would not be going with the dessert since I was too full. A few minutes later, the dessert is presented to me. Exasperated, I told the food runner I didn't even order this (I was deciding BETWEEN this and the appetizer as stated above) and then she rushed over, asking if I wanted the dessert. I thought it was understood that I didn't want this only minutes prior, but evidently not. Seeing 20% added on automatically regardless of party size isn't surprising-even for a smaller party-and there is also an option to add additional which I chose not to do on this visit. Although pleased to say she wasn't rude by any means-maybe she was new-the lack of communication was frustrating and I witnessed this also with the patrons sitting on the other side of me who arrived later, and still left before me. I wish my only complaint here was that there was too much good food that I could not finish, but I'd be lying. However, I am absolutely willing to hold out since I would love to try their Fifth Avenue location when they Finally open (I received an email earlier this year saying 'fall opening', but I guess the opening of Nashville overshadowed this), hoping the experience will improve immensely since the food was is worth repeating. read more

Philippe Chow - Lychee martini - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I came back to Philippe after having a not-so-great visit last time, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Every staff member was kind, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience -- and we really did. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service couldn't have been better. It completely changed my impression of the restaurant and reminded me why so many people love it. A huge thank-you to Kostas and everyone on his team for their kindness and hospitality. We'll definitely be back -- and we're so excited for the new Uptown location to open, especially since it's closer to home! read more

Can I just say how ridiculously overhyped Philippe Chow is? Boo and I had a 10 PM reservation this past Friday to celebrate our anniversary--what should've been a beautiful night turned into a hot mess the second we stepped in. We arrived right on time, dressed up and excited, only to be met by a cold, snobby hostess with the worst attitude. No smile, no warmth, no "Happy Anniversary"--just full-on rude from the jump. Total turnoff. The restaurant was loud, overcrowded, and chaotic. We gave our name and reservation time, and she had the audacity to say, "You're late." Huh? We were literally on time. Then she told us we had to wait because people from 9:30 PM were still waiting to be seated. And apparently, folks were sitting at their tables for over three hours--and they were "at capacity." I'm sorry, what? A place like Philippe Chow doesn't enforce any kind of time limit? Most decent spots have a 90-minute max. It was giving disorganized and unbothered. At that point, we were completely turned off and knew this wasn't it. But here's the plot twist: Buddakan--right across the street--welcomed us in with open arms. No wait. No attitude. Just a warm, professional team who seated us right away. The vibe? Immaculate. The food? Fire. The service? Exactly what we deserved. In the end, Philippe did us a favor. We got a better night, better energy, and didn't have to spend a cent in a place that clearly doesn't value its guests. Zero stars for Chow. All the love to Buddakan. read more

We went on a Tuesday night and the atmosphere was very strange with club music playing too loudly. We were excited to try the Peking Duck. The presentation and taste did not disappoint but the Duck was whisked away with what seemed like a lot of meat still on it. It's advertised as being for 4-5 people but with the amount of Duck we were actually served, that seems like an overestimation. The shrimp dumplings, pineapple fried rice, chicken satay, and Beijing chicken were all very tasty. The white Negroni was a fantastic cocktail. Ultimately, while the food was delicious, I think there are better experiences in NYC for the price. read more

First time here for my friend and I. The atmosphere was ok and the service was ok. We ordered a lot of food but in the middle of ordering the waiter was like "that's enough food." He could've stated in a better way like "the dishes are served family style so these are large portions." And the food was not what we expected. The famous chicken satay skewers are fried. This would be disappointing for someone who's expecting a healthy grilled chicken. The sauce on top was also not balanced.. sweet and earthy was the only thing I was getting. The pork soup dumplings were good. The veggie fried rice tasted greasy and had an odd aroma to it. As if you can taste the previous dishes of whatever the rice was cooked on. The spicy lobster noodles were good but needed salt/soy sauce in my opinion but I still enjoyed it. The bok choy was tooooooo garlicky and not seasoned at all. That garlic was definitely added to the dish raw and it lingered the rest of the night. read more

I've been coming here for 10+ years and even throughout all the changes, their food has remained consistent and GREAT. Beijing chicken no nuts, shrimp or house fried rice and chicken lettuce wraps with a Lychee Martini are my go-tos. Runner up : wonton soup, the green beans and steak or the sweet and sour chicken. Have also had them make me some shrimp and broccoli lol. Red velvet cake is always a must! Will be so sad when they close as the vibe here is not the same as downtown. read more

Rarely do you walk into a place and leave feeling this blown away. So many restaurants leave me disappointed, but tonight was the complete opposite--it was unforgettable. I'm genuinely shocked at how incredible the entire experience was, from the warm, attentive service to the absolutely delicious food. We're staying upstairs and stopped in for dinner before celebrating my beautiful friend's birthday, and I'm so glad we did. Everything was spectacular. A huge shoutout to Daniel Ramirez--he went above and beyond to make the night feel special. He made my friend feel celebrated, treated us with genuine care, and even surprised us with shots. I left feeling not just happy, but ecstatic. If you're looking for the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday (or any special occasion), this is the place. read more

One of the best Chinese dinners ever. Not eating Chinese food any where else. Coming back to try everything else I did not get to try.

We dined here on a Saturday evening around 7:30pm. This restaurant is beautiful inside; linen table cloths, fine dinnerware, beautiful chop sticks and cute little porcelain holders to rest them upon. They have an extensive menu and have an attentive front of house and wait staff. We ordered dishes to share among the four of us dining. We had the Chicken Satay, Shrimp appetizer, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, Pork Egg Rolls and the Peking Duck for 4. We knew the Peking Duck takes about 90 minutes so we were prepared to stretch our meal over a two hour time period. Unfortunately most everything came out in the first 30 minutes and we found ourselves sitting and waiting for the Duck to arrive. About 2 hours in the whole duck arrived and was presented at our table, however, then it was taken back to be carved and for some reason, that took another 30 minutes before it was severed at our table. The $120 dish came with 2 Bau Buns and 4 wraps for the table. We should have asked for more but after 2.5 hours we were tired of waiting. The food was good, it wasn't great. When the bill came, they already added a 20% tip. I questioned the server about that given we were a party of four and he mumbled something about that's how they do it, but would be happy to adjust it if I wanted. I wanted to get out and not wait on them anymore. One and done for me at this place. read more

Not as good as the former uptown location for a few reasons. Let's start with the food. Something is off in the downtown recipe. It just doesn't taste like Philippe rice it tastes like a replica of TAO nextdoor and their uptown location is better too. Downtown is just good for vibes not food and that's for both. The dining room has too much going on. Everyone is grouped in one big space no divider. Feels like you're in a banquet playing a rap caviar playlist. I was happy to see the uptown staff there and they bring comfort and white glove professionalism. Maybe this location is just good for quick drinks before you hit the club. Looking forward to the new midtown east location. read more

Dined here for happy hour and I think I found my new favorite spot! Anywhere that has a $10 lychee martini on the menu is a place for me! Happy hour is only at the bar so better to go early to snag a spot. They have a selection of cocktails for $10 as well as small bites like lettuce wraps, chicken or beef satay, dumplings, spring roll etc on the menu for $10. We ordered a round a lychee martinis and they are delicious and generously filled. The lettuce wraps are a must and the beef satay skewers are huge although the sauce is a little sweet for my liking but overall it's a great spot to go to. read more

I had came to this upscale Chinese chain a few nights ago to celebrate a friends birthday. It was pretty empty when we arrived for our 7 pm reservation, but the area began to fill up within our 2 hours there. Also understand that the restaurant is in a basement, so there is no windows and you have to walk down a staircase to get to the actual restaurant. Floors are extremely slippery We opted for the golden tasting experience which featured 14 courses and a dessert tasting menu. They offered high end food items which was pretty good. The food was good. But it was just that. Good. I was not overtly impressed for the price. I found the cost was comparable to Michelin star restaurants while not offering the Michelin experience. That is not to say the service wasn't good, it was very good, but not what I was expecting for this price point. $$$$ For Americanized Chinese food, it really was good. Would I come again? Probably not. But it was a fun experience! read more

You can expect to have a solid dining experience here that is on par with other restaurants in the area. The decor is simple, nice, clean and not terribly kid friendly. The service was pretty good. Food & Drink Highlights: 1. Get the Sangria if you're not in the mood for a strong cocktail 2. Sauce used for Satay was too overpowering for me so heads up on that. 3. Vegetable Lo Mein was lightly flavored; chew slowly so you don't miss it. 4. They are definitely using Prawns in their entree and not Jumbo Shrimp; I appreciated this. 5. There is more cream in the serving of Red Velvet Cake than actual cake. I probably should have tried Philippe Chow when they were newly in town and definitely before I dined at Brooklyn Chop House. I left wanting more flavor. read more

It's been many years since my last visit, but I still recall having a wonderful experience and my most recent visit was equally as pleasurable. We were the first people to arrive when they opened and were immediately seated. The server was personable and helpful. As my friends had a lot of questions. I went with my usual staple of filet Mignon and broccoli with a side of brown rice. My friends went with the chicken and the pepper steak. We also added calamari as an appetizer, but the sauce it came with was extremely spicy and I barely got through one piece. Overall, I was very pleased with everything here, the service, as they constantly checked in us and provide a sparkler last minute for the birthday we were celebrating. read more
