Loved it! We couldn’t order the Peking Duck as there’s only two of us, but the Gamblers Crispy Duck that they recommended was also great. We ended up with the Mr Chow prix-fixe for two and every dish was great. Yes - on the expensive side but worth every penny for special occasion dinner! We will be back. We feel lucky to have this in our neighborhood.

The best Peking duck in NYC period. Very expensive but worth the splurge! The excellence in service and food has been the same for decades. In a changing world, this is a wonderful mainstay! They used to carve the duck tableside, but it is such a small space that there really was no room for the chef to do that! This restaurant deserves a Michelin star! Bravo!

The staff was slow: food was delivered all at once instead of appetizers/ main dishes all at once? Instead of chicken first then fish? Cold delivery, service was poor

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE BOOKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, THEY SAY THE SAME THING. Wildly overpriced. We were pressured into ordering quickly, prix fixe rather than a la carte as we had planned. There was way, way too much food, it all arrived at the same time jammed onto the table, much of it breaded and fried, not hot, some flavorless, some slimy— my local takeout Chinese restaurant has far better food. We then didn’t hear back from any waitstaff for the better part of an hour. I had to track down our waiter to receive the absolutely enormous bill (we had one round of drinks). What a disappointment for a rare gathering with family. The space is pretty, and maybe good for a cocktail— but I will never eat there again.
