This is definitely overpriced and overrated. The food was only warm not hot so went cold really quickly. We wasn’t impressed with this place and as we eat in top restaurants around the world we would never return here. We were unhappy with our meal with only 2 coffees and water and a cost of $540 for 4 people it was way overpriced. As a result of us feeling unhappy we decided to not give a tip and was rudely questioned by a waiter several times that we had not left a tip. We wasn’t asked once if everything was ok. So when we told them it was not hot and we wasn’t happy they got extremely rude.

I had a party of 6 . The atmosphere was not as trendy as I was hoping for like other venues I’ve been to. I give it a 3 rating. Overall the food was very tasty 4.5 rating but portions were not enough. I don’t think the prefix is the enough food even though the wait staff sell you on that it’s a larger portion . It would have been better to order 4-5 apps individually and then 4-5 main courses. A 3 rating for value on food and portion size .

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!
