Mr Chow

- New York, NY
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

THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE EVER – Even the atmosphere is harsh fupon entering...DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE A CHANCE because they act like they don't want you as a customer anyway. Asking for the menu is out of line and unusual where the staff is actually insulted if you choose not to rely on their "expertise" on average Chinese food selections. Don't be fooled - the reason they want to bring you their selections is so they can surprise you at the end with a tab of well over a hundred dollars per person. While ordering, we w... read more
No Menus Needed! – Mr Chows is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in New York. The staff is always friendly. They also pick the best dishes. We just sit back, relax and enjoy the food. I would strongly recommend the chicken with the lettuce wrap and the peanut chicken. Good people watching too. I sat a few tables over from Matt Lauer the last time I was there.
Please go somewhere else – I have been using Citysearch for at least a year and I have not commented on any other restrs. but I would like people to know that Mr. Chow's is the most over-hyped place in the city. Mediocore food, combined with horrible service and lots of 'tude makes for a waste of time and money.
Very Worst of NYC – I have heard stories about places being stuffy, pretentious, rude and all together arrogant, but after 3+ years in NYC, I had never experienced this ... until I went to Mr. Chow. Walked in strictly for drinks on a Sat. night around 12:30am and were warmly greeted - until we told the host & hostess that we were only there for drinks. They literally walked away from us and wouldn't answer our question as to where the bar was! In the bar area there were 2 highly inebriated bleach blondes in chinchilla fur co... read more
Menu Ordering= Disaster – I think since we didn't follow protocal and let the waiters order it turned into a disaster!
Mr Chow Chow – I am not a huge fan of Chinese food, but Mr. Chow showed me just how great it can be. We had our waiter order for us (which is the way to go if cost isn't an issue) and the food that he brought was great. The scene is a bit much some time, but the food is worth it. The bar is small and crazy, but the bartender never fails to mix a good drink. This is a good place to take a group and you may feel like you are in a scene from Indian Jones.
Too stuffy for me – Disappointed!!!!!The service was completely opposite in LA!!! I sat down, the waiter asked me what I would like to drink. I asked for a Shirley Temple. He looked at me like I had 2 heads. Then he asked if I would like water. It must have been 5-8 minutes before I got anything. We ordered and they forgot my rice. My girlfriend had to look for waiter to refill her glass with water (twice)! In Beverly Hills they refill your water in a matter of seconds. I decided to speak up. The matre de ignored what I said... read more
MR. CHOW you are the Man – This is one of the top restaurants in the city. Food was great, service was spectacular, and the atmosphere was more than you could ask for. When here on a first date, you can not go wrong! Sit at your table and let the staff go to work, all you have to do is pick a bottle of wine and they do the rest, don't bother asking for a menu these people will take care of you, a few things that we enjoyed, soft shell crabs and chicken satay, one word of advice, bring the expense account or beware, dinner wi... read more
