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

Worst food and service combination I've ever had in NYC – I go out in NYC very very often for business dinners so I have a good amount of other restaurants to compare this one too. I have to say all the reviews on here are true. The wait staff was one of the rudest groups of people I've ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealling with at a restaurant. Literally I have never been treated worse that at Mr. Chow. I am not a high brow type of person either. I do not appreciate being charged way above the pre set menu price tho... read more
Way over-hyped – I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the potstickers were good, but those are the only two good things I can say about this restaurant. I asked for soy sauce and was given a lecture by the waiter, who then ignored my request and never brought the soy sauce. The portions were TINY, and although the food was ok, the chicken tasted like KFC and none of it was anything special. The tables are waaaaaay too close together - you have to crawl over the table next to you to get out/in. Not worth it!
Survivor- minus Probst & Clooney – My friends& I are not strangers to the NY dining scene or fine cuisine.We're eager to spend money for good food&service-sparing no expense for a special occasion.After being greeted by a handsome&polite wait staff lined up like soldiers prepared for combat; we were hopeful that our stay would be pleasant.Our obnoxiously arrogant waiter spoiled the evening by his presumptuous nature.We didn't appreciate his offer to prepare a dish without being offered a menu; so I promptly asked for one bec... read more
HORRIBLE IN SO MANY WAYS! IMPORTANT REVIEW PLEASE READ!!!!! – Okay so everyone's tastes differ and you can have a good or bad experience at almost any restaurant. BUUUUUT you should at least KNOW what you are getting charged for! I went to MR. Chow's tonight and our group did a tasting menu. We asked how much it was the waiter said 64 a person. At the end our bill was wayyyy too much. We asked why our bill was so high. Well we got charged $15 extra for a plate of fish! No one ever told us it was extra money, or that it wasn'... read more
The BEST food I've ever had anywhere. – Four people from Ft. Lauderdale, originally from New York. We loved everything that was served. We wanted to lick our plates clean. Incredibly wonderful experience. The service was excellent as well.
Horrendous doesn't describe it... – As a regular of some of the best restaurants in NYC, I can honestly say that this isn't one of them. Being a "cool" place isn't enough for this restaurant whose food looks nothing like the food in the photos. The food is dry, the seafood is terrible and the service is horrendous. Our scallops were not just tough, but were bad and smelled horrendous. Don't tell the waiter that, because they will insist that the "slightly bad smell" is part of the enjoyment of their place. I've not met anyon... read more
Ciao, Mr. Chow! I'm going back to takeout – By far the worst restaurant experience I have had in Manhattan in my 3 years of eating well- the service was rude and completely inattentive. The waiter poured our wine into my water glass, rolled his eyes when I asked for a new water, and definitely didn't offer to comp the wasted glass of wine. The food was horrible, and not what we ordered. The prices were astronomical- $500 plus for 4 girls to sip wine and share orange chicken?! Never again.
Great but not mind-blowing – An interesting place. You don't order off of a menu, you just tell the waiter what your feeling like and they go off of that. The food itself is pretty damn good, but its not "Chinese food", if you will. The Peking Duck was above average, the roasted glazed pork was out of this world. My friend who I was dining with, a cuisine connoisseur, asked for hot sauce to spicen it up a bit and the waiter basically told him "Sir, the taste is unique! No hot sauce", and walked away. My friend was definitely... read more
Everybody needs to lighten up – So it's not the greatest restaurant food-wise, or even the greatest Chinese food. And maybe it is fairly expensive (for Chinese food, at least). And so what if you can't figure out what you've been billed for? Read the review before you go, and you'll have a good time. Is it bizarre that they don't itemize the food? Yes. Is it that big a deal? If you think so, don't go. It's a fun evening out with people, with really good food. If you're uptight about the bill and give them a hard time orderin... read more
