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

Dont Believe The Hype – The most over hyped restaurant in NYC. First of all...what kind of chinese restaurant has all white waiters. Thats like going to an Italian restaurant and having all Japanese waiters. The whole bit about letting the waiter order for you is probably the dumbest thing a human being can do. It's like going to a car dealership and letting the salesman pick out your new ride. The waiter brought out the same dish three times during the meal. Don't get me wrong...the food is alright but not worth the price. ... read more

The Best meal ever – I went to Mr.Chow for the first time, even though i read most of the negative reviews on this site, but still decided to try it out. I did not expect to have THE best meal in my life . Food was GREAT !!! The waiter had chosen the dishes for us and i am glad he did so, i doubt we would of chosen these dishes ourselves. Food was fabulous, impecable service (the waiters and hostesses) were extremely pleasant , friendly and very helpful. We had a Blast !!! I would definatelly recommend this restaurant if you... read more

One of the worst restaurants in New York – If you: like to wait for your table for more than an hour despite your reservation (and don't mind that by the time you get finally seated they tell you that the kitchen is closed for certain items on the menu), be treated by waiters with an attitude, love to eat very mediocre food (the "Chicken Satay" was truly disgusting) and don't mind footing a ridiculous bill without it really being clear what the heck you have been charged for (I quote: "that is how we charge at Mr. Chow.."), ... read more

Maybe I have been spoiled by having a Chinese girlfriend, but I could not believe that I just spent $220 for Chinese food. Even if you we saw some stars, the bill is not worth the admission price and I have had better chinese food in Flushing and down in Chinatown. And what is with the applause for someone making Shanghi noodles? There is definitely too much hype for this place. And to top it all off, the coat check had a $5 bill on the plate. They are definitely trying to milk you for everything you have. If money is no obj... read more

mr.hows it should be called – lets just say i went to mr.chows with a couple of my girlfriends. we had heard the food was good and with all the famous people going there it must have good food right. wrong, how more wrong could one person be. you wait forever for a table. then the waiter informs you it would be best if he ordered for you to enjoy your experience better. i never thought ordering food was such task. she said she was there before and ordered thereselves and the expeierce was bad. the food is no diffrent thatn a... read more

THE Place to be – I've been to Mr. Chow on few occasions, and i had the best time ever. The stuff is very friendly and helpful, the food is amazing ('till this day I never ate better food ). The crowd is one of a kind. Lot's of famous people, you name it, they all go there !!! It's a bit expensive, but well worth it . You won't find better food and service for the price you pay at MR. CHOW. I highly recommend this restaurant !!!

stop whining and enjoy the food – if your looking to be treated like royalty this isnt the place for you. ive eaten here probably 50 times and now the guys know me and cater to me well but they didnt at first. i was at the bar waiting and saw paris hiltons parents waiting right next to me. they waited as long as i did. anyway the food is unreal you just have to knwo what to get. having tried everything on the menu you should get the following: chicken satay apps, shrimp toast (make sure to use the sweet brown sauce), and chi... read more

This Place is AMAZING – OK... First let me tell you if you dont want to spend a lot of money then DONT go here and complain about it tomorrow. If money is not a worry...or you have a nice expensive accout the DO IT. The food is expensive and amazing. The Chicken Satay is to die for. Order the Squab, Bejing Chicken and Crispy Beef. The green shrip and Gamblers duck are also the best. So dont let the waiter order for you... take my food reccomendations and get ready to be amazed. Just dont complain when you have a huge bill.
