About this business

One of the finest, most elegant Chinese restaurants in the city, this well-appointed Midtown spot is perhaps best known as a fixture of the 1980s art scene. Andy Warhol and the rest of his crew were devoted patrons. Although those days are long gone, Mr. Chow still lives on because of the quality of the food and the great space and its reputation. Menu highlights include crunchy whole shrimp and filet mignon. The two-course prix fixe is reasonably priced and is a great choice for lunch; there is another location in Tribeca i... read more

Not your usual cheap Chinese take out! love MR. CHOW! – I love this place! It's not your usual cheap chinese take out! drank a whole lot of champagne last night and sat back while the captain ordered my favorite dishes. Try the Beijing Duck prefixe. They come up with the best courses! Can't wait to go back!

Spectacular – I was so hesitant about coming here after reading the negative reviews. No clue what they were about. I went there last night for my birthday. Food was spectacular and service was impeccable. Will definitely be back!

Smoke and Mirrors BS! – Very bland food, weird over attentive but improper service. After stating that we were unsatisfied, the guy actually told us that we were "supposed" to not be full. I would never go here again.

Awesone place and great food – I wanted to thank the staff of mr. chow, and I thought this was the best way. You guys are always accomodating and have welcomed me with warmth. I believe your restaurant have been around for so long for a reason. It is always good to see restaurants that last through think and thin. I tell you keep up the good work guys!!!

$68 Over-Price Fixe – Having read the most current review, my friend and I decided to journey to Mr. Chow's as Nobu's wait time exceeded an hour. Being only the two of us, and it being my friend's birthday, I treated. Money was not an object. I expected a tasteful atmosphere with a decent, if not stellar, meal and at least satisfactory service. We anticipated something along the lines of Nobu. The doorknob alone had a bit of character. We expected that to carry on into the environment and meal. We were rather wrong. Upon mak... read more

DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS – This is by far one of the best places to eat in NYC. I'm not a people watcher but I have seen Alex Rodriguez, Willem Dafoe, Sean Combs, and Kevin Connolly at the restaurant. I'm sure if the food, service, and atmosphere were as bad as everyone says you would not see so many well off people there. I can guarantee you that everyone that has given this place a bad review is just upset with the bill. This place is expensive, but if money is not an issue to you then you will not be disappointed with M... read more

Overall worth the trip! – If you're planning on a quiet dinner don't go here. This place is so loud you may even need the skill of reading lips to get through your dinner conversation. Despite the noise levels the food is excellent! They offer to choose your meal for you but if you're clear what you like or don't like I would ask to see the menu. The have a great variety of "land", "air", and "sea" fare. The wine by the glass choices are very limited but the Pinot Grigio is a light and fruity one that I recommend. The shrimp... read more

Overpriced for nothing – If you like a run down place, with no vibe, no background music and waiters making selections for you than this place is for you. There is a menu but when asked the waiter wasn't too pleased. How it works is they ask you your food preferences ( e.g. meat, seafood, poultry...) and then bring out several dishes based on that. My husband asked for seafood and i for meat. We got two apps and two tiny portions of the main course ( filet mignon and fried sole) with side of green beans and rice. after that ... read more

MR. CHOW IS THE MAN !!!!! – I have been going to Mr.Chow for the past 6 years. Since they opened Tribeca I mostly go to this location since I live in Tribeca. I have read these reviews and came to conclusion that those people that wrote these negative reviews are either jealous of Mr. Chow success or have no better things to do . The restaurant is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city. The stuff is very friendly and polite. The Food is Magnificent. The clientele is one of a kind. The ambiance is great. I can go o... read more
