A night of Beijing-style cuisine at Philippe Chow

Peking Duck at Philippe Chow NYC

Helmed by celebrity chef and namesake Philippe Chow, the luxurious restaurant specializes in Beijing-style cuisine, and has long been a must-try dining destination in NYC. Attracting the likes of locals, celebrities and tourists.

Philippe Chow is an upscale affair with all meals meant to be shared, perfect for groups and any occasion. If you haven’t had the opportunity to try this hotspot, you’re missing out on signature dishes such as:

• Chicken Satay, with Mr. Chow’s famous peanut sauce
• Mr. Cheng’s Noodles, hand-pulled noodles in classic pork sauce
• An assortment of perfectly steamed dumplings
• Chef Philippe’s famous Pecking Duck. 

Come for the meal, but stay for dessert options like the Cotton Candy Baked Alaska, a sampler of Ice Cream & Sorbet, mango, pineapple and coconut or Matcha Cake & Green Tea Ice Cream.

The restaurant best kept secret is its impressive beverage program. My favorite is the Lychee Martini, Grey Goose, lychee and coconut cream. But others that will refresh you in the summer heat are the Philipptini, including Tito’s, lychee, pineapple and Crème de Cassis and the MEZmerizer, Creyente Joven mezcal, ginger beer and lime.
