I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this place. Based on the reviews, I thought I wasn't going to but this place is still the GIRL. Been around forever and still thriving. Must get the duck (obvi) and lychee martini was so yum. Lettuce wraps were also a must get. Portions are big so share a few plates between your group. Obvi expect a little bit of a touristy crowd compared to other midtown restaurants in the area but for the food it's worth it.

The food is excellent as well as the drinks. Service is spectacular and the environment is balanced with music and laughter.

Philippe Chow never disappoints, no matter the city! From Washington to New York, their consistency is remarkable. Our favorite dishes--filet mignon with sugar snaps, chicken satay, and Philip Chow noodles--are always impeccably prepared. The ambiance sets the perfect tone for a romantic date night. Can't wait for them to open in Miami!

Wonderful dinner. Free champagne during appetizers. Music was low and appropriate. Food was excellent.

This review is based on our take out experience. We have dined here before and were craving some chicken satay. The food here is good and this being our first time getting take out from here we were very happy the quality remained. The time we waited for take out was average. I never get dessert but had a sweet tooth and ordered the peanut butter explosion! It was super good! The right amount of fudge and peanut butter. We also had honey glazed spare ribs, duck spring rolls, salt and pepper prawns, pork fried rice and kung pao chicken and crispy beef. Our only complaint is of the kung pao chicken. My husband didn't enjoy it. The flavors were a bit off. But overall pretty good food!

Can we say I underestimated this place !! I'm not sure why. It's very sexy ; chic. Dark and dimly lit. I think I heard the name thrown around on tv or something and I was like mehhhh..BUT ITS NOT YALL.. it's just a nice cozy sexual vibe..I came for afternoon ..I was in the area shopping ..the menu is extensive ..they have a pre -fix for lunch . I had the chicken satay and orange beef. I was surprised . I expected same ol..oriental style food . It was delicious ..tasted very fresh ..and was prompt as far as service ..I sat at the bar .it was a tight squeeze because the waiters and staff needed to pass me ..but the bartender was SUPER DOPE..and made my experience wonderful ..many Men work here ..and it's not bad because they look great in their suits..I will have to come in the evening ...brb

Our waiter Mike is fabulous! He had many tables to look after as the place was full for restaurant week. He didn't miss a beat with all of our questions and requests. I chose the 45 dollar option and was not disappointed. Plenty of vegan options on the menu. Beautiful atmosphere as well. I've been many but will return I'm hope that

High class, Beijing style Chinese food right on the edge of Central Park south. There is a location of this restaurant further down on West 16th street, but this one is the original. Glitzy in decor, this is one restaurant I do not recommend coming in sweatpants, especially if you plan on stopping by during dinner. Wonton Soup The review begins in earnest with a soup I would eat anytime of year, whether it be 0 degrees or 100 degrees outside. The soup here is no exception. All the wontons, be them as they may (you only get maybe four to a serving), retain their texture and have good flavor. The rigidity of these things is important. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen these things fall apart. The clear broth they are served in is good too. Do yourself a favor and get the pork wontons over the chicken, if you are able to do so. Pork soup dumplings As I had tried some really good ones in Vancouver, I was hoping these would be right up as some of the best. Sadly, no. The whole "soup" spills out immediately when grabbed. The outsides were slightly undercooked, and the meat inside needs a bit more time to cook as well. Six of these things is a nice size, and the dipping sauce works well, but I needed firmness here and this one does not deliver when it comes to that. Chicken Satay Taking a small break from the Dim Sum-esque items, I got to trying what appears to be one of the most popular items in the restaurant, the Chicken Satay. This one had a lot of potential to be great, but the sauce it is just way too overpowering in taste, including its pungent smell. The chicken is a tad dry too. Still, looking back, I am happy I ordered these, because they set me up well for my final dish, the chicken flat noodles. Chicken flat noodles For my main entree, I got this, and I was really hoping to bring it on home with this entree. The portion size is generous, and the chicken here is beautifully cooked and tastes extraordinary. It literally melts like butter in your mouth. The noodles taste fresh and act like spools of ribbons working your way back to the esophagus to allow more of a savory experience. The sauce is a bit on the salty side, as I was going through plenty of water while eating this, but it still was great to eat. Conclusion For upscale Chinese, the value is great. Good portions and enough for two people to be satisfied or one really hungry person. The service was good too, as my water glass was full most of the time despite my heavy consumption of water. The prices are pretty good as well if planning to come here with a large group. I would come back for dinner, but recommend it for either lunch or dinner.

The service was A1! As always just so amazing ! Very well done as always and the food was delicious our server / waiter Riline was soo helpful . He was quick and gave us amazing menu options. I enjoyed the black berry mojito *I hope I said that right * lol PROS: the food was delicious, well seasoned and flavorful especially the curry chicken . The white rice was perfect . The sauce on the food was absolutely delicious as well . Cons: NONE

We had a wonderful experience at the Uptown location last night. The hostess, despite being busy, greeted me with a smile on her face. Our waiter, Rilind, was out of this world! It was apparent that he loves what he does, and his warm personality speaks volumes. For appetizers, we ordered the chicken satay, the honey walnut shrimp, as well as the shrimp and pork soup dumplings. The satay is definitely the best I've ever had. No where else can you find chicken satay that just melts in your mouth like butter, without being drowned in peanut sauce. I've tried the satay at Panda, as well as Jue Lan, and I think Philippe's is hands down, my favorite in NYC. I think I will try the shrimp (yes they have shrimp satay) next time! My other favorite appetizer was the walnut shrimp. It has this unique creaminess with a little tinge of salty at the end, that is complimented by the sweet crunchiness of the candied walnuts. My only regret is not having ordered a to go order of this! For entrees, we ordered vegetable lo mein, chilean sea bass, and the kung pao chicken. I was honestly too full from the apps and my philippitinis, that I can't say too much here. The sea bass tasted a bit too fishy for my liking, but nothing that a twirl of lo mein and a sip of lychee martini can't cure. We had plenty of leftovers to take home, which I look forward to eating later today. Can't wait to return in the near future!!!!
