mr. chow

the worst meal of our us trip. after hearing great reviews we were excited about eating there. we were so disappointed! not a single dish matched up to its name, we've eaten great chinese all over the world and also in america. to be fair, the service wasgoodand the servers tried to rectify the damage by taking the dishes to the kitchen and having them redone. the two wines we chose were both unavailable. every dish was bland, unappetising and overpriced. just being in beverly hills is no qualification for agoodrestaurant. get your food right!

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 withgoodchinese quarters, save your hard earned money, and buy a ready made meal from the supermarket ! you can get some reallygoodpeking duck.

are you kidding me?. i went here for dinner on a friday night with 2 friends, maybe that was my mistake. lets start with i had a reservation for 730 and wasnt seated until 815, thats not ok in my book. then we were asked to stand at the bar until our table was ready, the bar was filled with creepy old men! one guy actually told me he would like it if i touched him... what?! then we get seated, 7 different confused servers approach us asking a ton of questions about what we want... give us a second we havent even found the menu yet! we take the servers suggestion and let him order for us... not agoodidea! everyone raves about the chicken satay... i thought it was ok but nothing fantastic. maybe its because it was bright orange and that kinda threw me off a bit. then he brings us beef and broccoli... really at this place we let you order for us and the best you can come up with is beef and broccoli? thats not saying much... following the old standard beef and broccoli was green shrimp... and yes it bright green. the 'tempura" breading was soggy and there is just too much sauce. why is it green??? we had vodka martinis with dinner and you cant screw that up so those were good! dessert was actually good... berry tart. so a few hundred dollars later we all left completely unsatisfied and 2 hours behind schedule for our night. mr chow is busted!
