Located right off the southeast entrance of Central Park in one of the most luxurious areas of NYC, Phiippe by Philippe Chow is a premium Chinese restaurant loved by celebrities, tourists, and locals alike. Diners can enjoy exquisite Beijing-style cuisine, including favorites like Chicken Satay, Glazed Spare Ribs, and Peking Duck, while relaxing in the modern-chic environment that provides top-notch service.
Steamed Dumpling Sampler
If you can't decide among Philippe's different varieties of dumplings, then go for the Steamed Dumpling Sampler where you can try three kinds of its famous dumplings. The shrimp dumpling, reminiscent of har gow, is filled with plump piece of shrimp inside transparent skin, while the vegetable and pork dumplings both have savory fillings inside chewy skin.
Spicy Pepper Mignon
Sauteed in spicy brown garlic sauce with green and yellow pepper, the tender pieces of filet mignon - cooked to the temperature of your choice - has bold and complex flavors without compromising its authentic root of this traditional Beijing dish.
Maine Lobster & Hand-Pulled Noodles
Craving both noodles and seafood? The Maine Lobster & Hand-Pulled Noodles is the best of both worlds. The dish features whole lobster meat - claws, tails, and knuckles - mixed in with chewy hand-pulled noodles. The succulent, sweet lobster meat pairs perfectly with the noodles prepared with ginger, scallions, and cracked black pepper.
Peking Duck
While the dish takes 45 minutes to an hour to prepare, it is worth every minute of the wait. The Peking Duck at Philippe is carved table-side and served with thin house-made pancakes, scallion, and cucumber with hoisin sauce. The skin could have been a bit crispier, but the meat is extremely tender, juicy, and flavorful.
Cotton Candy Baked Alaska
Torched on the table side, the Cotton Candy Baked Alaska is a must-order dessert - both for its taste and the presentation. The pastry chef brings out an elaborate baked Alaska covered in fluffy cotton candy, and torches with fire as it melts all over the dessert. Inside the creamy meringue are layers of strawberry and vanilla bean ice cream surrounded by vanilla cake with roasted strawberries on the side.
