Let's start with the moment you walk into the restaurant. The beautiful decor - the lanterns on the ceiling and the infinity mirrors - nice touch!!! Then you get to the host stand and you're greeted by well dressed hosts - now you feel the class in the air! You're seated at the table and you see beautiful well dressed people and you know this is going to be a special night. Then the server comes by and tells you the story of the menu and what we should try. I don't think I even read the menu. I just trusted the server and I was not disappointed. The Food was great - the Peking Duck was the star of the show - Moist with Crispy Skin. The Wagyu steak was just out of this world. And then the Pork Dumplings come and you can't get enough---but why only 6? I want more!!!! The highlight though was when the manager comes by and talks about the spectacular wine list, which I must say came as a surprise. I did not expect this kind of class in Nashville...maybe in New York or San Francisco, but I was pleasantly surprised! We had a great conversation and despite his strong Italian accent, he seemed like he was from Nashville. We were so full but we had to try the baked Alaska!! Again, we were not disappointed! We've been to other nice places in Nashville, and we don't get this kind of service and food/drinks. People are usually badly dressed and rowdy. It is a turn off but this place definitely did it right. We will definitely be back for more.

I have been here twice over the last few months and had okay experiences both time. The first time I came with a friend and the second time with a larger group for an event. The vibe of the place is elevated, but in a slightly more old-school manner. The service both times was great with staff being attentive and kind. Now for the food and drinks. I have had the following: - Pink Jade: this is a light and refreshing drink that I adored so much I made sure to get it the second time I went. The highlight of the meals both times. - Steamed Dumplings (vegetable, chicken, pork): these were pretty underwhelming honestly, which is surprising because I tend to like almost all the dumplings I eat, but this was an exception. The pork and chicken dumplings were decent, but the vegetable dumplings left a lot to be desired unfortunately. - Beef and Chicken Satay: relatively good with tender meat and a tasty peanut sauce, but difficult to eat off the skewers and the presentation made it look very un-appetizing. - Pear & Arugula Salad: one of my favorite dishes. the arugula was crisp with a nice peppery taste and there was also delicious sweetness and crunch from the walnuts. would recommend - Vegetarian Fried Rice: good, but nothing special - Tableside Peking Duck: loved that they carved this table side and that the meat was tender, but overall I found this to be nothing too special and not something I would get again. Felt like it lacked some seasoning and was not worth he price - Nine Seasons Spicy Prawns: these were good, one of the better items we had - Kung Pao Chicken: this was great with just a touch of spice to it, until I bit into a pepper/seed which absolutely lit my mouth on fire and limited my ability to eat more for about 10 minutes after. Not every bite had the same level of spice and that inconsistency was annoying. Would not get this again. - Sweet & Sour Chicken: a good dish, tangy sauce with tender chicken that was definitely a crowd pleaser. - Filet and Green Beans: good, nothing too special. - Steamed Broccoli Descriptors: buttery and fresh, pretty good Overall, I thought some dishes were good, while others were quite disappointing and I definitely don't think the food is worth the price tag. Also at these prices, I would expect the presentation of the food to be much better than it was, but as you can see from the pictures, the presentation leaves a lot to be desire. Probably won't be coming back here.

From the atmosphere to food and service everything was amazing! It's a cute place for date night and group dinners too. The service was fast and attentive the servers were knowledgeable of the menu and I'm pleased with my choices. The chicken fried rice and Kung pow chicken was delicious. The steak and green beans were cooked to perfection and was very flavorful. I can't wait to come back and try other menu items. Love that they box the items to go.

Fantastic dining experience with a great vibe! The food and service both were exceptional. I tried the Miso Salmon and my wife got the Steak and green beans. We shared and also had crispy Brussels sprouts and other sides. For dessert we tried the baked Alaska with table side service turning it on fire! Worth the splurge! Park right across the street, restaurant will comp most of the parking fee or street park if open.

Location in Cummins station. The parking lot across the street. After validation it was under $10. The Asian aesthetic beautiful. Party of 5 had reservation and we still waited 20mins to be seated. While finally we got to be seated our server waiter was a positive nice energetic waiter. But then after reviewing our menu our guy had to take care of some other table which took another 20mins. Our group was beyond ready to eat and waiting patiently to place our drink and food order. Once food got ordered it came out within 15mins. Plates are made to share family style. We ordered a few dishes and I will say my favorite dish was the kung pao chicken. The spicy sauce it came with so good combination to go with our buk choy veggies and rice. Our friend celebrated her bday dinner and com her a wonderful tasty chocolate cheesecake. Our lychee martini was a nice refreshing addition.

Upon arrival I was left speechless interior design, the ambiance and decor was truly top tier. My guest and I noticed that the dress code wasn't really a standard as there were tables in athletic wear, gym shoes and sneakers. Our server also wasn't super knowledgeable of the menu and recommended alot of generic dishes but not much of a personal touch. The best bites were the salmon crudo and duck spring rolls, but other than that the food reminded me of everyday asian cuisine nothing really stood out or blew me away quality of everything was phenomenal . 7/10

Love the decor and the ambiance. There was 3 ppl total in my party. We sat at the bar until our table was ready and it took us a minute to get seated, even with a reservation. Our waiter more than made up for the rocky start bc he was amazing and so was the food. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we ordered a little bit of everything. We started with the: - Beef satay - 5 stars I was unsure about the peanut sauce but it was phenomenal - Crispy Duck Rolls - 5 stars - King Salmon Crudo - 5 stars Entrées we ordered: - Vegetable Lo Mein - 5 stars - Sweet and Sour Chicken - 4 stars - Kung Pao Chicken - 4 stars - Appalachian Lamb Chops - 5 stars cooked to perfection I want to come back with my husband as they do has vegan options. This would be perfect for a date night. Also, they do have valet for $20 (2hr I believe) but there's also street parking. I did street parking which was $7 for 2 hrs. I will definitely be back.

Wanted to love this place but our service wasn't great. The server disappeared for long periods of time and at times forgetting what we had requested before leaving the last time. I was there for an event so we decided to stay and have dinner. We had several appetizers at the event and they were ok. The Brussel sprouts and rice were pretty good. Really esthetically pleasing space. I would give them another chance to redeem themselves.

We had a great experience at Philippe Chow and will definitely be back. The ambiance and decor were beautiful--upscale, stylish, and perfect for a date night. It felt lively but still comfortable. The service stood out! Our waitress was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. She mentioned the meal would be paced out, but it came with the yellowtail crudo first, followed by everything else arriving at once. While not ideal, her friendliness made up for it. Our favorite dish of the night was the yellowtail crudo--slightly sweet with great flavor. Everything we ordered was good, though we'd want to try new dishes next time. The Brussels sprouts were solid (Jonathan wasn't a fan of the breadcrumbs), and I really enjoyed the chicken lo mein. The 9 Seasons spicy prawns were large (6 per order) and a close second favorite, while the Kung Pao chicken was well cooked with a slight kick. Portion sizes were very generous, and each protein dish comes with a side of white rice. With five dishes, we had plenty of leftovers--about two dishes per person is more than sufficient. The warm lemongrass hand towels at the end were a nice touch, and our waitress surprised us with two glasses of champagne for date night, which was very thoughtful. Good food, great service, and a memorable experience.

Came back for another fabulous experience with international guests that truly enjoyed the Peking Duck experience as much as we do. Shout out to our server Amber who helped us order a great family style meal, she asked a few questions and then just brought out the perfect amount and picks of everything. I truly encourage you to do the same. She is so knowledgeable about the menu and every dish we tried was so delicious.

Philippe feels like Nashville's full glow-up moment for Chinese food--posh but not precious, chic without trying too hard, and absolutely aware of its own cool-factor. This is the kind of place where you intend to order responsibly and then immediately abandon that plan in favor of "well, we're already here." The menu is built for joyful over-ordering: lots of appetizers, small noodle, and fried rice dishes that practically dare you to say, "Let's just try one more," plus larger also-shareable entrées that land with great polish. The miso salmon is a standout--silky, deeply savory, and clearly living its best life. The hamachi crudo is bright, pristine, and disappeared so fast it may have technically been a mirage. No crumbs, no regrets. Cocktails are clever without drifting into performance art, and the wine list is smart, curated, and blessedly free of intimidation. Everything tastes intentional, not try-hard. Service? Impeccable. The kind of staff that makes a large group feel expertly choreographed rather than herded. Worth noting: for a big party, reservations required planning a few weeks out--annoying in theory, extremely validating in practice. Philippe is date-night cool, friend-group chic, and "another round, please" energy all at once. Elevated, funny, a little indulgent--and very much main-character dining. Are we going back? The unanimous vote was "yes." There is so much more to explore here!

I've passed by the Chow location in NYC dozens of times, and never felt drawn to dine there. But the Nashville location. The Nashville location! Hello beautiful. The decor is chic and modern. The service is lovely. (Sandra was a fabulous server) And the food is elevated Chinese as it should be done. Get the Peking Duck. Incredible. Dumplings. Fried Rice. 10/10. I recommend requesting main dining room seating near the bar. So many different businesses have passed through the Cummins Station location where Chow now sits. This is here to stay. Note:Valet parking available

Best part of the experience was the service. Isabel was great and Isaiah was very on top of things. Ambiance is okay. Believe it or not the section past the bar was the most calm & cozy. Now the food. I concur with other reviewers in that the food was just okay. The best thing I had was the pear & arugula salad. If I return, it will be just for that. No gluten free bread service from what I could tell. The walnut prawns were cooked well but, bland. No depth of flavor at all. Kind of crazy for an Asian restaurant. It was nice that they were able to make a modified gluten-free version of their chocolate mousse cake. This was pretty good. Just too rich to finish. I would recommend this spot more as a stop-in for drinks or dessert.
