Run, don’t walk… away from Mr Chow Tribeca. No exaggeration, I had the most disappointing NYC dining experience of my lifetime last night. Philippe/Mr Chow has been our family go to spot for celebrations, and last night we realized, those days are over. All the food was tasteless, luke warm and ridiculously priced for what we were served. Not to mention we were rushed (plates picked up before we were finished) and pushed over and over for the upsale. (Do NOT fall for the prefix sell.) The experience was unacceptable and unpleasant on all levels. Horrible.

This used to be my favorite restaurant but wow service and quality experience has become shockingly lackluster. I just ordered walnut glazed prawns and squab with lettuce and after waiting nearly an hour and watching the delivery person sit at the restaurant, they canceled my order??? Insanity. And now it’s too late at night to order from a different restaurant. Not sure if they have new management or what but good golly the quality is in the toilet. Whatever happened to customer loyalty? If you’re going to order here, make sure you have a Plan B. What a joke.

Tiniest portions for $70. Tastes no different than a local Chinese spot that costs $10.

Unfortunately the portion size of the food to the high prices was extremely disappointing and I would not recommend anyone dining there. We had to get pizza after due to still being hungry even though we paid $300 for just 3 people.
Never been here , and I must say it was amazing . Had an amazing server by the name of Mr Cruz . The workers treated us very well . The food was amazing and I had the delicious wine from Mr .chow . I do recommend if you plan on taking someone special or a group of friends .
Service was rushed and we were being constantly upsold. They never offered us a tap water option and by the time we realized we were being served expensive bottled water it was too late. Fell for that old trick. We ordered a la carte - 3 apps and 4 main courses for 5 people (more than enough food) — but when the bill came they tried to push off the $180 prix fixe menu which we had not ordered. They backed off only after we called them out on the math — a $200+ difference — and called for the manager. If you're going to pay $50 for a pretty basic (aggressively flavored and sauced) Chinese food then you should feel taken care of. This restaurant is one massive tourist hustle.
It was good not amazing. As we came here to celebrate a special occasion I had higher expectations as it has a great reputation. Service was average almost choppy as servers reached over plates and crossed over my friends as they were eating. Is there a reason you don't present a drink menu unless we ask for it? Is there a reason you only give one menu for a table of 5? We had to ask for another one. Crispy beef ... it seemed to be all fried batter no beef. Dungeness crab was light and delicious. I've definitely have had better soup dumplings. Velvet chicken was bland. Not likely to return.

Having been a huge fan of Mr Chow's for decades, the last couple of dinners have been less than stellar ! Last night at Tribeca the satays missed their crunch, lettuce wraps missed their punch , the Ma Mignon was tough...not sure I will go back !
The adventure of Mr. Chow begins the minute you walk in the door and the Maitre D shakes your hand & wecomes you. Food was delicious and the crowd lively and very downtown. Great overall

Way overpriced. Food was fine but far from memorable. “Family-sized” portions wouldn't feed a family of hamsters , but cost a small fortune. Staff was great and service prompt. Very noisy and a bit cramped but ambience nice overall. Would not return. Many better options in the city for Chinese.

General manager told me and 3 people that the bar was only allowed for people waiting for their tables to clear out. Didn’t allow us to have drinks at the bar.Wouldn’t come here with a reservation if they’ll make me wait at the bar… never again.Fire that GM.

Strange place. This is a Chinese restaurant without any Chinese people, without any Chinese decoration, without chop sticks, with loud American pop music and big pictures of Marlon Brando on the walls. The food was ok but very expensive, far more expensive than the value of it. The servants did their job but without any kind of joy or happiness. Nice with the white linen cloths on the tables..

I like it. A little expensive. But the only Chinese I go to.
A classic, you can’t go wrong dining here.
