" We went during Restaurant Week and everything was good but not truly excellent. The ambiance is upscale, but something was off about the service. The food came out at odd intervals, and our waiter seemed distracted. The beef dishes tasted good but did not standout from typical Chinese chains. Could have been better given the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated an anniversary dinner at Philippe Chow, and the experience was fabulous! The waitstaff were attentive and made us feel really special. The ambiance provided a lovely backdrop for our evening. The Peking duck was incredible, a must-try. My only point of critique was that the servings were quite small for the price. Nevertheless, we enjoyed every moment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for a high-end Chinese dining experience, but Philippe Chow was a superior-looking facade with mediocre food. The service staff were great, but the food felt mass-produced. My noodles tasted so bland, and I was let down by how long it took for service to get our drink orders. While the decor was stunning, my meal didn’t quite match the price tag. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Philippe Chow was delightful! The Peking duck was absolutely delicious, and the service was attentive without feeling intrusive. The ambiance is romantic, perfect for date night. The desserts were a lovely surprise, each of them packed with flavor. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Philippe Chow for lunch and was let down. The food was decent, but the service was lacking. It felt unorganized, and my food came out cold. The ambience is nice, but the experience overall left much to be desired at this price point. Maybe I'll give it one more shot during dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from Philippe Chow and wow, I wasn't prepared for the extravagance! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The Peking duck was fantastic, and the lobster pancake packed a punch! However, I must admit the prices are quite high. If you're after authentic flavors dressed in a luxurious setting, this is definitely a place to check out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had such a great evening at Philippe Chow! The staff went above and beyond to make our special occasion memorable. The fried rice was high quality, and the Peking duck was the highlight of the meal. They really know how to balance the flavors. For dessert, I suggest the chocolate cake! Ahhh, heavenly! I’ll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)
