Mr. Chow is a certified celeb hangount. When my wife and I went here a few years back when vacationing in Bev Hills, Ludacris was a few tables over. It also has really good Chinese food -- the waiter suggested we let the chef decide for us -- we said we eat veggies & fish, no meat -- and they served us a good 6-7 course small-plate meal. It's a small place, intimate, I'd recommend it. It's not cheap -- I recall maybe $75/person for the chef's choice.

Insist on a menu if you are leary of the prices. Most items were in the upper $20's to $30 range. Ordered the chicken joanna & the sliced pork with chili which was excellent. Also ordered a pricier filet...

Celebs get preferred treatment so they keep coming in to act as bait for the rest of us. Non-celebs keep coming in to starwatch, and they're the ones that get taken in by the "no menu" ruse. The food is...

Um, try forking over $185 for two, and for nothing more than mediocre food. Uh, never again Mr. Chow! The food was as good as I can get at Chin Chin for 8x the price. Be prepared. When you get the honor of...

After hearing so much about this place we decided to visit it. What a disappointment! Overcrowded with no sense of privacy whatsoever. The service is hurried and mediocre. Food quality is average or less. I've...

I am a native of Louisiana, so I think I know good and bad food. I used to live in Los Angeles about 5 years ago, attending school, which is when I found out about Mr. Chow. I read about it in a magazine...

i didn't know it was possible to spend so much money just to eat lousy take-out quality chinese in a noisy, cramped, crowded restaurant. Waiters and other passers-by kept bumping into my boyfriend's seat...

Having a Chinese background, I feel as if I am capable of discerning good chinese food from great. Mr. Chow is a restaurant with "good" chinese food. I eat in the San Gabriel Valley every weekend at little...

This is the most interesting Chinese food I've ever had. Eating your rice with forks and knives, drinking water with wine glasses, I reallyd had a good experience. The food is really not bad, it's just I...

Mr. Chow has a good thing going for him. People come to spend $100/person on fried leftovers. Basically Mr. Chow takes anything he finds around the kitchen, deep fries it, and calls it cuisine. The elevated...

I went to Mr. Chows for a business dinner - I found it exciting that I saw stars (Arquette and Val Kilmer among them) sitting right next to me. The food was o.k - the ambience, well if you like sitting in dark...
