Wonderful unique Viet dishes. Stands out were the spring rolls and omelette cake for starters and the turmeric dish and roasted chicken were entree stand outs. The pho was a little disappointing the broth didn’t had the fresh flavor taste I normally enjoy and the pork skewer sausage was too fatty for me. Overall - Excellent.

We love Mr. Chow. The food is the best Chinese food we've ever eaten. Our favorite items include the Peking Duck, Green Prawns with Cashews, Velvet Chicken, Chicken Sauté, Gambei, and Diced Chicken on a Lettuce Leaf. Last night we introduced a sommelier to Chow's. She complimented the server who poured the wine beautifully.
