every average chiness food.. lots of hype over this established beverly hills restaurant. atmosphere good, seating is cramped, probably not the place to go for a intimate evening,... if you want to have a private conversation. the service was fine. the food, which is the main reason for going to any restaurant, isn't ? was really, really, average ! and the quality did not match the high prices. perhaps we are fortunate in europe to have a glut of high quality chinese restaurants charging sensible prices. for sure, in my city, mr chow's would not be listed as a first class place to dine. my suggestion, having dined is other cities with good chinese quarters, save your hard earned money, and buy a ready made meal from the supermarket ! you can get some really good peking duck.
