    Really enjoyed my experience at Philippe by Philippe Chow. Came for dinner and everything from start to finish was solid. Camilo was our server and he did an amazing job. Very attentive, personable, and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. Also want to highlight Jorge, who helped clear our table. He brought such a great energy and genuinely made us smile. You can tell he enjoys what he does. The manager also stopped by and was very kind and welcoming, which we appreciated. We ordered the glazed spare ribs, sesame chicken, and nine seasons spicy prawns and everything was delicious. Well seasoned, nicely plated, and good portion sizes. The vibe here is really nice too. It has an upscale but still comfortable feel, and even the bathrooms are thoughtfully designed. Definitely a place I would come back to.

    I would like to say I will definitely come back and try here again, but nothing we had was great. What stood out was the service. Everything was so nice in the restaurant and the servers were top notch. Also the chef came out and was talking to everyone. As far as food goes nothing was super special or stood out. It could have been from anywhere to be completely honest. But once again nothing stood out at all. That said I do want to come back for the jazz on Sunday. I will keep expectations in check for food

    I was so excited to try this restaurant and ended up feeling underwhelmed by the experience. First, the food was lackluster. Trader Joe's has better--and way cheaper--dumplings. The lettuce wraps were great, though! Our entrees were extremely overpriced. $34 for a mediocre chicken dish that was listed as coming with walnuts but came with peanuts? That's both misleading AND potentially dangerous! Our server spent the night apologizing for slow food and service. I love the Wharf and love dining out, but I'd encourage you to get cheaper take out and just sit outside.

    Update: we just tried their happy hour they call "dragon hour" and everything was spectacular. We got lychee martinis, chicken + beef satays, shrimp dumplings, and shrimp spring rolls. The satays were better peanuty and oily so I didn't care for them but the rest of the food was amazing. I'll definitely return for their happy hour. I also love that their happy hour lasts longer than other spots on the wharf since they're open till 7

    I really do love this place. My partner and I came back for Valentine's Day. We opted for an early dinner because we had events on Sunday. For the most part, we stuck to our favorites! The espresso martini is divine! She ordered at drink that came with a side of champagne, the Porn Star Martini, which was also very good. I started with the chicken satay which is my favorite of all time. I just can't get enough of if! She ordered the calamari. It's not the usual shaped calamari, but tastes just as good. We went on to order Chilean Sea Bass, Bronzini, broccoli, and bok choy. The food is always cooked to perfection. The vegetables are perfect. And of course, the red velvet cake for dessert. It's almost as good as mine. Ha! Our server was on point. It was Valentine's Day so they had a 90-minute dining rule in place. We actually went over, but nobody tried to put us out. I like the vibe better during non-holidays (fabricated or not), but it was still a good dining experience. The ambiance was nice and love was in the air.

    Truly an unexpected gem. I did not know what to expect for such a large restaurant, but the food was definitely worth it! Huge portion sizes so we ended up sharing the entrees and appetizers. Great tasting food and the drinks were scrumptious! The service was outstanding as well. The Wharf can be very busy and overstimulating, but Philippe Chow was a great escape!

    We came 5/11/26 party of 3! Anthony our server was very professional, cool and professional! I needed to make a meal change and he didn't make me feel bad about it! Service was excellent and food was good!

    Amazing location right on the waterfront (Washington DC, Warf). Parking garage a stones throw away from the restaurant. We arrived on Friday about 3 pm, and after about an hour the place was almost packed with patrons. The server was excellent. Overall, the food was good..however, the fried beef was chewy. The ambiance was wonderful..we had a windows seat facing the water...excellent.

    Although I've heard of Philippe Chow, I hadn't dined here before. For my first dining experience of 2026, they earned a spot in my heart and a five-star review. Honorable mention to our server Victor, the manager, and everyone who made our experience stellar. They were very responsive and corrected any missteps without having to mention it. They do have a bar, and if you'd like, you can dine or just enjoy drinks. This is a good place for solo dining, date night, and group celebrations. Reservations are highly encouraged. Do know that if you order the duck, there can be a 45-minute wait before it is served. Coat check is available. A parking garage is available nearby, as street parking is rare. When the weather supports, there is outdoor seating with fire tables and a scenic view of the Wharf. The appetizers of calamari and wontons (veggie, chicken, and shrimp) were great. My kiss of the dragon sidecar was very refreshing and worth ordering again. Dining here with others presents an opportunity to share and explore the menu. I found the shrimp fried rice and broccoli à la carte items to be enough for the table, with leftovers for the next day. The crispy duck entree comes with thin wraps. You can layer the accompanying scallions, celery, and plum sauce for a customized bite. None of the items we ordered required additional seasoning. Everything was hot and well presented. I look forward to recommending and dining here again.

    Vegetable Dumplings

    I took my parents to Philippe Chow for Christmas Eve for the second year in a row, and it is officially becoming our holiday tradition. We started at the bar, where Blanca was amazing. She made a great espresso martini for me, a perfectly crafted Woodford Old Fashioned for my dad, and a delicious chocolate martini for my mom. We also enjoyed the chicken and beef satay, vegetable dumplings, and spicy edamame. The ambiance was beautiful and festive with a stunning Christmas tree, great holiday music, softly dimmed lighting, and a cozy view of the fire pits outside. For dinner, Chef David stopped by and the food truly delivered. We ordered the crispy duck, spicy lobster noodles, lobster fried rice, and stir-fry vegetables, and finished with the Nutella beignets. Everything was flavorful and filling. An amazing experience all around and we already cannot wait to come back next year. Highly recommend.

    Wonton Soup

    Philippe Chow shines during Restaurant Week and anytime of year - with menus that feel like a genuine value--not a consolation prize. The bar service is always excellent and well-paced, setting the tone right out of the gate. The ginger-spiced wonton soup was fresh and warming with just the right bite, the fried rice was loaded with crisp, fresh veggies, and the dumplings were... well, sticky in that indulgent, comfort-forward way you secretly want them to be. Save room for dessert--decadent, polished, and a strong finish to the meal. Elevated Chinese cuisine, thoughtfully executed, and especially worth a visit during Restaurant Week. A solid win at the Wharf.

    the service was horrible. It took 45 mins for the drinks to come out & the food was not even that good. then we would ask for soy sauce and by the time they brought it back we had finished the food.

    Vegetable Fried Rice, Wok Seared Branzino, vegetable stir fry
    Ashlee S.

    I visited Philippe Chow for a work dinner and we went with the Golden Tasting Menu ($115) plus the Peking Duck upgrade. As someone who's gluten-free (and doesn't eat pork), I really appreciated that I could enjoy almost all of the courses--everything except the dumplings, spring rolls, vegetable lo mein, chocolate trilogy cake, and spare ribs. We also had branzino instead of Chilean sea bass, which was a great swap. Everything I tried was delicious -- the Beijing Chicken, Filet Mignon, Spicy Prawns, vegetable fried rice, veggie stir fry, and sautéed broccoli were definite standouts. For drinks, I started with an Espresso Martini with tequila (yum!) and then tried the Split King. I asked if it was sweet and was told "not too sweet," but it ended up being very sweet for my taste. If you prefer refreshing, less sugary cocktails, I'd pass on this one. Service was phenomenal! The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly allergy-aware. They clearly flagged what I could and couldn't eat and made me feel totally taken care of. For a group of ~30, they kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. We dined in a private room that comfortably seats 30. The space is chic and upscale, but very dim, with more of a romantic, moody vibe. Personally I prefer brighter lighting for a group dinner, but the overall atmosphere is still stylish and elevated.

    Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice, Spicy Lobster Noodles, Crispy Duck, and Bok Choy!

You'll be reminded of that as you walk up the stairs to the restaurant and see the wall filled of signed photos from lawmakers. Last time I came here, I felt like a VIP, there was literally no one there and I was alone dining in. At first, I felt sad for the restaurant, then I was happy to see there were A LOT of takeout orders. Both the vegetarian or shrimp rolls are great appetizers. Just keep in mind, an order is 2 rolls, so if you're ordering for a large group you'll need to order 3-5x. I must say every time, I get the Hot & Sour soup it's lukewarm. It's good but if you dine-in or order takeout, it's for sure going in the microwave. I LOVE their Peking Duck, always super meaty and crispy skin. One thing for you connoisseurs out there. The Peking Duck comes with thin pancake wraps, they look like tortillas but they're NOT tortillas. So don't expect those fluffy buns. You can also never go wrong w/ the Combination Lo Mien and Mongolian Beef. If you like spicy food, their General Tso's Chicken and Kung Pao Duet (chicken & shrimp) are great dishes to quench the spice hunger. This resturant also has two large banquet rooms that are perfect for large group.

They also have great roast duck noodles, and steamed buns with many flavors and meats. Very very attentive service and the interior dining environs are stylish and spacious, a bit quiet and peaceful (on the second floor, away from the din of the street) and cool. Worth checking out if you are near Da Hill in DC!
