    The ambiance was vibey as always. However, the food was an absolute miss last night. The highlight of my dinner was the chicken satay and chicken wonton soup. The salt and pepper calamari was extremely difficult to chew and was sent back. The pork fried rice was dry and tasteless and the Beijing chicken texture was off. I contemplated saying something but declined. I also ordered a drink that was sent back. I had the PornStar Martini. The menu stated that it consisted of Tito's vodka, passionfruit juice, and lemon juice. The drink tasted like a sparkling drink. I then asked the waiter what was in the drink. He stated, “They added Prosecco.” Why would you add something to a drink that wasn't stated on the menu without a request? I've dined on several occasions where the food and service were exceptional. Highly disappointed with last night's experience.

    I miss Philippe’s uptown but the downtown location is a good alternative. The service, food and staff were great and I saw a couple of people from the uptown location so I felt at home. Great place to visit! I can’t wait for the 5th Ave location to open!

    My husband and I have dined at Philippe Chow with our family a number of years and we always love the food and the service. Our favorite dishes are the Walnut Sesame Prawns, Crispy Duck, House Mignon and the Lobster Fried Rice. This time we came with 2 couples that have been our friends for over 50 years. Since I know the menu well they allowed me to order for everyone so I ordered our favorites, then asked them what they wanted. They added the Dumpling Sampler, Lobster & Chicken Satay also String Beans and Crispy Cauliflower. For dessert we had the Beignet Donuts with Nutella and the Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter. The entire time we were there they kept raving about the food. Our waiter Daniel was amazing and remembered me from our last visit and took very good care of our guests. After dinner the Manager treated us to a round of drinks to top off a spectacular evening. Even after we left and our friends walked home with us they were still talking about how much they enjoyed the food as well as the next day when we went to brunch!
