Mr. Chow’s 57th Street RestaurantIf you haven’t eaten at Mr. Chow yourself, you may recognize the celeb hot spot from paparazzi photos across mainstream media. Of the five signature restaurants, the Mr. Chow on 57th street in New York City is easily the most famous. Every A-list celebrity, from Michael Jackson to Pamela Anderson, has dined at the fine eatery. Killed That’s editor Andrew Silberstein visited the spot a few days ago to see if Mr. Chow’s restaurant lives up to the hype.

Food: 9/10 The restaurant is big on fresh seafood; look forward to several shrimp, lobster, and fish dishes. The beef is superb, whether you’re served Rib Eye steak or Filet Mignon. The appetizers were also great; make sure to try the shrimp dumplings and spring rolls.

Selection: 6/10 I was never presented with a menu. Instead, I was asked about my favorite foods, and whether I’m allergic to anything. The waiters then brought out the chef’s specialties for the day. It seems like you’re stuck with their fixed-priced menu. But trust me, that definitely isn’t a bad thing.

Atmosphere: 8/10 The lighted tables and modern Japanese decor are beautiful. The restaurant isn’t particularly loud, even when it’s packed. It’s definitely a great spot to take your special someone.

Service: 10/10 Whereas other high profile restaurants tend to have poor service, the waiters at Mr. Chow’s are particularly helpful, and there is always someone within five feet of you to bring you whatever you need.

Price: 7/10 A fixed-price meal at Mr. Chow’s will run you between 60 and 70 dollars–and that’s without drinks. Be prepared to spend a fortune when you visit this restaurant. But then again, what did you expect from an A-list dining hotspot?

Overall: 8/10 While Mr. Chow’s is a little on the expensive side, the food and service are great. I’d only recommend hitting up the restaurant when you’re hungry; there’s no option to order a smaller meal.

Address: 324 E. 57th St., New York, NY 10022; Telephone: 212.751.9030
