Philippe Chow - DC offers a sophisticated dining experience with "excellent service" and "delicious" Chinese cuisine. Guests rave about the "fantastic" Peking duck and the scenic waterfront views.

    Party of 5, Christmas dinner: order took over an hour to come out, including appetizers. This was on Christmas, however the restaurant was not packed. This was my first time visiting and may very well be my last.

    On Christmas day the service was slow. I've come before and service wasn't slow. In both occasions the wait staff did not pay attention to our requests and felt very rushed.

    Dominique 👎🏾 Tables seated after us had their orders taken ahead of us and had to ask about the out of stock items while the table next to ours was voluntarily told. Did not seem enthusiastic to serve us as with the surrounding tables. Experience was reflected in the tip unfortunately.

    Expected a pan Asian restaurant. But, it’s more like an Asian influenced American restaurant. We ordered a lot of food given it was our first time and we wanted a fair representation of the kitchens craft. To me, the food is prepared with the average American and tourists in mind. With the exception of salt, seasoning is minimal. Don’t get me wrong. It’s good, high quality food. We liked everything. But nothing was great. The service was fabulous and the atmosphere is very nice. The prices are reasonable by DC standards.

    Everything have changed it was my second time. There is hardly waiters taking a section of 10 table. No service and no management, it looks like they are cutting in labor. Not recommended.
