    Philippe Chow is one of my favorite restaurants. I always go back again and again, and was so happy when they opened this DC location. I will say that every time I go the service is a 6/10, nothing compared to the 10/10 NYC locations. So perhaps some training could fix that. Today we sat for almost 20 min before having to flag down a server. So great food, but the service needs some work.

    As with all Jose Andres' restaurants, the food was imaginative and excellent taste. Here, also, it was clear the wait/service staff were well trained--helpful information from the waiter, food served quickly even thought there were a huge number of diners, and the plates were cleaned/water filled quickly.

    The manager Ian was pleasantly welcoming and greeted my friends and I with warmth. The bartender, Frank, is a cocktail curator from another planet as each drink served was beautiful to look at and even more delicious sip after sip! The vibes were trendy with a classic feel and the pork belly bao was so nice we ordered twice! Totally anticipating our next visit now!

    The food was very good. We ended up eating at the counter. It was hard for the four of us to communicate. I’d go back to try different things on the menu.
