    Everything was absolutely phenomenal from my husband and I walking into the restaurant, being able to get our table the timing was excellent was not a long wait. The server was amazing, the service was excellent, The Food was brought out no sooner than we had ordered, the drinks were great as well. They took our picture before we left their fine establishment. I recommend having a reservation before hand but overall everything was great.

    This is our favorite spot in dc, everything from the encounter with the host, the drinks from the bartender, the wait staff and their support staff all work together to make it an impeccable experience. The food is always hits the spot. The owners must be proud of the employees and managers that run this place.

    I eat at fine dining restaurants a lot. The food was below subpar. The shrimp dumplings tasted raw. The seven seasons shrimp was flavorless. The only thing that was good was the red velvet cheesecake. I've never been sooo disappointed in my life.

    Philippe Chow is one of my favorite restaurants. I always go back again and again, and was so happy when they opened this DC location. I will say that every time I go the service is a 6/10, nothing compared to the 10/10 NYC locations. So perhaps some training could fix that. Today we sat for almost 20 min before having to flag down a server. So great food, but the service needs some work.
