Es un buen restaurante sin mas. El lugar muy tranquilo y bonito con un gran servicio pero deja mucho que desear la comida comparado con los precios que estas pagando. Para una ocasión especial podría llegar a volver, pero en general no seria una opción para mi.

Every time we visit NYC we go to Mr. Chows at 57st. The food is fantastic and the service outstanding. We come especially for the duck. You can see it being carved right in front of you. Truly magnificant. I highly recommend heating here.

Too loud. Beyond energetic. It was uncomfortably crazy loud. Big groups of loud people. The food was outstanding as always. Service was somewhat slow, albeit very professional, due to the massive density of diners and people waiting for tables.

Overrated. Service was too fast and servers while good are overly attentive leaving you with no sense of calm or privacy. Not worth the expensive prices even for before inflation.

I have been to Mr. Chows Midtown east many times over the years but delinquent since covid. While still one of the best-looking dining rooms in NYC, the food has taken a sad downturn. The Chicken satay was close to uneatable while the turnip puff pastry, a Mr. Chows specialty was far from special. The main course of drunken duck and another house specialty -chicken with walnuts- was better at my local Chinese takeout. The service, while very friendly and willing, was slow and at times overwhelmed. I don't like to write poor reviews. But hopefully, management will take notice. It is sad to see a NY institution stumble.

Tasteless overpriced food in an upscale comfortable setting. Highway robbery for the poor quality served. Not the Mr. Chow I remember from years ago. What has changed?? Not sure but the kitchen needs an overhaul. $1000 for five people and the food was positively awful. The service was attentive and the bartender was especially charming. Still does not make up for the poor price/value ratio

Lovely place, amazing staff and outstanding service. It was my spouse’s birthday and they brought him cake and sang their heart out!! He was so happy and I am very grateful for such a special touch. I loved the cocktails, they are delightful, so is the food. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant not just because of it’s delightful atmosphere, size and historical provenance, but because it really is a yummy and delightful place.

Food was terrible. Felt like it was already made and warmed up in a microwave and sent out. Somehow 40 minute duck was made in 10 minutes and wasn’t fresh. Rice was dry and crunchy as if it was leftover.

For $400 I expect more. Sea Bass was excellent. Shrimp fried rice excellent. Dessert good. But dumplings were plain and lifeless. Service was very good. But we were able to make a reservation for Friday night at 7:30 on Friday night at 6 pm., which says little buzz or demand. We live in the neighborhood and have walked by a million times, have no need to go back in again.

Mr. Chow is an institution. We have been going there for over 40 years. It is dependable, consistent and incredibly good. The hosting and waitstaff are particularly attentive and cheery. The Beijing Duck is sumptuous and always cooked to perfection. We have tried it other high end Chineses spots and they do not compare. We have dined at Mr. Chow in both London and here at New York - 57th Street, and we love it. Here is a list of our favorite menu items: Gambei, Chicken Satee, Mr. Chow Noodles, Velvet Chicken, Green Prawns & Cashews, Squab with lettuce and the ever popular Beijing, (Peking) Duck.

This overated resturant will see the last of me. I've expereiced it before with less then steller results, but thought i might give it another try. Mistake! Food is below par, not fresh, and they even they do not seem to understand what is fresh and what is frozen. In fact, they don't understand the difference between Crab and Sea Bass, or ANYTHING. Nice, friendly, good service, but this is the worst Chinese (if that's what youd call it) food ever. How they can possibly survice in NYC is beyound me. No more of this for this patron.
