Wow, what happened to this place? Just awful food. I used to love the food but it has gone downhill! Terrible Chinese food and so expensive! Next time I will only go to Mr. Chow’s in Tribeca. So sad to have wasted $250 on Chinese food for 2 people.

The food is overrated with the exception of a few. I came to this restaurant thinking I’d be wow’d by the impression of class and cuisine they were offering at this classy dining level. I want to say I was not impressed and even further to say I’ve had better else where for more affordable prices. I will say the Sweet & Sour Chicken and the Nine Season Prawn were the best out of our group’s selection but everything else was merely mediocre and mundane. The classy experience was nice but the server didn’t make it any extra enlightening or desirable with his service. He was bland (like some of the food) straight-nosed and to the point. Not a enjoyable experience to spice up the ambiance of the place. Not sure if it’s a training thing but no smiles seem dull to me. Gratuity is already included in the parties check of 4 or more so maybe he felt he didn’t have to put extra pizazz in his service but it would’ve been nice. I didn’t have the opportunity try everything but the duck Spring rolls were disappointing and bland. The only thing that gave it flavor was the molasses like sauce it came with. The calamari was bland as well no flavor, the spicy sauce didn’t even compliment well. The chicken noodles, TASTELESS! No flavor, just dry. I was certainly indifferent about the food if it weren’t for the tasty dishes we had I would’ve given lesser stars.

We took advantage of the restaurant week menu with some add ons. Everything was great except that they were out of the wi e we chose with the only other option a bottle that was nearly double in price. maybe some wine pricing in a moderate level would be a a good idea.

An excellent restaurant with superb service, more than decent Chinese dishes and interesting cocktails. Coming from Asia, I always found it difficult to find a high-end Chinese restaurant where the ambience, service, and food quality are all equally good. Philippe Downtown is the first restaurant that gave me that total satisfaction. The shrimp dumpling can rival that of top restaurants in Asia. I love the way they fixed the red king crab - plain steamed with ginger and scallion.
