Where to Eat By the Wharf on D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront | Eater DC

"Famed Chinese chef-restaurateur Philippe Chow unveiled his first stateside restaurant outside New York City last June. Celeb-magnet opulence is on full display across the shiny new Southwest Waterfront edition lined with plush purple banquettes. A modern Beijing-style menu showcases favorites like Chow’s destination Peking duck that gets theatrically carved tableside (and requires about an hour’s notice), plus glistening honey-glazed spare ribs, lobster fried rice, and a host of steamed or wok-fried dumplings to go along with an elaborate cocktail program at the gold-framed bar. Chow is gearing up to add a satellite bar right out front." - Vinciane Ngomsi
