Wonderful food and impeccable service! Except for the very high noise level, we had a fantastic experience. And oh, the tables are also placed very tightly, which is quite the case for restaurants in NY, but it doesn’t help the overall ambience, I must say. For a fine dining Chinese restaurant, it felt a bit too crowded. Despite these critical feedback, we will definitely go back as the food is oh-sooo-good!!

Had high hopes but the food was really not good. Service was great which was the only real positive. Food had very little flavor and was just bad. Food was standard NYC higher prices but we expected much more.

Mr. Chow's is culinary delight. I eat out at white tablecloth restaurants 3 or 4 times a week. When I have a reservation at Mr. Chow's I am always more excited because the food is simply so tasty. Also, I love the sophisticated dark decor and the vibrant atmosphere that makes one feel they are in a special restaurant. The service is superb led by seasoned managers Sonja and Angi.
