In Short
Hot spots cool fast, but Mr. Chow has held the eternal flame of see-and-be-seen dining since 1973. The decor is stark and modern, and the vibe is clubby and buzzing with energy. Chic diners squeeze into tightly packed tables along a center banquette, while larger parties and A-list celebs gather round more spacious tables along the wall. Servers are professional and lightning-fast, whisking away plates as soon as fork touches china. The menu offers fancy and pricey versions of Chinese cuisine classics. Solid starters include won ton soup with a clear, robust broth, and steamed dumplings enhanced by a piquant chili sauce. Top entree options are house specialties like green prawns marinated in a spinach dressing and sauteed with crisp red peppers and crunchy cashews, and grilled filet mignon sided by baby asparagus. Other faves are crunchy snow pea sprouts and fluffy fried rice spiked with plump shrimp.

I wish I had four hands so I could give this place four thumbs down. Cataclysmic. Completely out of this world. I went to this ghastly place to have a nice evening with a couple of friends. We were 6 altogether. Here's what happened. We had a reservation, double-confirmed and acknowledged, and found out upon timely arrival that we'll have to wait for "10-15" minutes. This turned into a good 45 minutes. Forget about expecting an apology. After sitting down in something that resembles a cubicle made for 1 person and not for 6 we started studying the menu and asked for recommendations which were literally the most expensive food on the entire menu. Ridiculous. I don't need a waiter slash sales person when I am asking for an honest recommendation. After I jokingly asked the waiter if he could recommend anything that would be more moderately priced I got a snappy response "I don't know what you like" out of the blue after which he caught himself and directly put his fake smile on again. Anyways, the food turned out to be partly undercooked (we had it returned to the kitchen and redone) and really on par with PANDA EXPRESS. Mind you that we are not gourmets of any kind, but can tell if food is plainly bad. What we received was what you would expect from a fast food chain. Given that our final bill ended up being well over $500 I feel cheated out of my money. Bottom Line. 1) Dont go here. 2) Tell all your family, friends, and coworkers not to go here. 3) Go to a good restaurant. Mr Chow is NOT where you want to go. Mark my words.

Know Before You Go:
The best nights for star sightings are Wednesdays and Thursdays. You'll know the caliber of celebs inside by the number of paparazzi lining the sidewalk.
The Extras:
Parties larger than 12 can reserve the private room upstairs. A prix-fixe dinner costs about $60 per person, which can be a better deal than dining downstairs.
