The Scene
Few people have the culinary distinction of mastering food on two continents like the Mister behind Mr. Chow. A Warhol caricature in his own right, owner Michael Chow perfects simple healthful Chinese cuisine for star patrons in London, New York and Beverly Hills. The two-story Camden Drive restaurant includes a main floor dining room with narrow two-seaters and larger circular tables. Known more for lunch than for dinner, Mr. Chow is a preferred destination for Hollywood's agent, publicist and lawyer set. Once the initial atmosphere has been digested, white glove treatment begins with a selection of appetizers. With most dishes made pan-fried, steamed or poached, eating pot stickers and chicken dumplings is manageable even when watching the calories. The poached chicken plates are masterful, as are simple side orders like spinach. More traditional fried dishes and noodles are similarly good, if a bit meager in size. Known for their A-list service, the waiters are always helpful in suggesting signature dishes and should really be consulted if you're a first-time guest.

Spotted Here
A perennial favorite of both the old guards and young turks of Tinseltown; the perfect place to meet your agent, or your best friend who just happens to be a movie star, for lunch. Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt and Meg Ryan have all been spied dining here.

Can I Get In?
Having dinner at Mr. Chow is not an unreachable dining dream for folks not blessed with a marquee-gracing name. Make reservations in advance and hope that your favorite star -- or any star -- chooses to eat there on the same night. It could happen.

    I've had better food at Panda Express. My only saving grace was the fact that I didn't pay. But if you are the kind of person that likes to pay way too much for inferior food, this is the place for you! You too can join the celebrities that don't know they are getting ripped off. Or maybe they are the only ones getting the superior food leaving the scraps for the paying customers.

    OVERRATED RESTAURANT WITH RIDICULOUSLY PRICED FOOD AND WATER!! THEY CHARGED $10.00 FOR A GLASS OF WATER THAT I DIDN'T EVEN DRINK. MOST HORRIFIC DINING EXPERIENCE, EVER. WON'T SUGGEST IT TO ANYONE.

    This place is so over-rated that it's a joke. Sure, the glitz of celebs abound. But at these prices, no celeb is out-of-pocketing the cost of their meals. I thought gas prices were high. Mr. Chow charges way too much, and delivers even less. The paparazi should have taken my picture to prove that dumb people pay good money to be bamboozled in L.A. when it comes to glitzy food places. Panda Express is much cheaper and tastes better.

  • IT WAS GOOD---BT HORBILE DECOR

    I WENT TO MR CHOW FOR MOTHERS DAY AND THE FOOD WAS GOOD. PAPARAZI OUTSIDE ---BUT WHEN WE GOT OUTSIDE THEY WERE JUST BORED BECAUSE THEY DIDNT GET A CHANCE TO GET PICTURES OF REAL CELEBERITIES. SO OVER DECOR WAS HORRIBLE AND THE BATHROOMS SMELLED HORRIBLE..SEATS WERE CLOSE TOGETHER WITH NO ROOM TO TALK.

    Typical Chinese food for not so typical price. Last time I go to a restaurant based on celebrity base.

  • You’ve got to be kidding!

    I went to Mr Chow this past weekend, and thank god I wasn't paying. The food is no better than your local take-out. Overblown, over priced, tired concept. Exactly what you might expect from someone that describes himself as a “renaissance man”.

    Give me a break...please

  • expect the unexpected

    Review rating : 5out of 5   myukxgook - 01/02/2007

    After much await anticipation I finally had the chance to go to Mr Chow. I've always heard such great reviews about this place! Let me tell you I chose a perfect day to go. As I stepped to the door the front was lined with paparazzi. I knew this was going to be an exprience! I got inside and guess who I see... Jessica Simpson, Sandra Bullock, and Pink. Well they weren't together but in the same place! After all the excitement I don't know how I managed to keep food down. The food was delicious. Try the chicken satay and green prawns with the famous Mr Chow noodles. Great Time and Great people. Well worth my $$..

  • loud crowded and rude

    One of the worst dining experiences I ever had. The waiters pushed expensive dishes that weren't even good. tables were squeezed in all over the place. The bill for 6 people wine-$900.The waiter insists on ordering for you because he "knows the food" He just orders the most expensive and none of the food is good

  • I'll always love it

    I love the food, try the sea bass it melts in your mouth! I love this place, one of my favorite places in LA. The service is always excellent!! Although, I do have to admit I did not enjoy the lobster it was over cooked
