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. While the ambiance and food are praised, some note inconsistent service and a noisy atmosphere. Ideal for special occasions if you're prepared for bustling energy.

    Requested a booth 3 weeks ago, arrived and seated at a regular table while smaller parties accommodated. Food orders were delivered inaccurate from the start… ours to another table. Chilean Sea Bass was ice cold, crispy beef NOT CRISPY but chewy and inedible. Felt sorry for the server. Once corrected, orders were duplicated and came in stages… at this point, no longer interested in continuing the experience… boxed up for later and could have settled for regular takeout from my local Chinese restaurant. Christmas dinner was not MERRY.

    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.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time enjoying all the food. We appreciate the receptionist who went the extra mile to find a better table for us to accommodate my daughter who has special needs and couldn’t fit in a high chair anymore. It’s our second time and we look forward to our next delicious meal here again!

    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.
    Philippe Chow - DCResponded 4 days ago

    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.
