Nestled by the water, Philippe Chow offers a luxurious atmosphere and exquisite Beijing-style dishes like Peking Duck and Walnut Prawns, complemented by attentive service.
"Since opening in June 2023 at the Wharf, the Beijing-style destination has welcomed Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckman Jr., boxer Gervonta Davis, and plenty of politicians. That December, the gilded eatery hosted Detroit Pistons shooting guard Hami Diallo; D.C.’s own Washington Wizards small forward, Deni Avdija; singer, songwriter and record producer Al B. Sure!; and former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes, who ate the hot and sour soup, honey-glazed spare ribs, and filet mignon. Star sightings at the glitzy, white-tablecloth original in NYC have included actor Forest Whitaker, Nick Cannon, Rihanna, and Adam Sandler." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
"The Wharf’s glossy Chinese restaurant rolled out a decadent brunch in April (noon to 3 p.m.) for $75 per person. Guests can enjoy a rainbow of limitless mimosas splashed with cranberry, blue Curaçao, or Midori alongside endless appetizers and choice of entree and dessert. Options include Mr. Cheng noodles, sweet and sour chicken, chilled lobster pancake, dumplings, chocolate trilogy cake and more." - Tierney Plumb
"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." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Wharf’s modern Beijing restaurant is treating guests with a complimentary Blooming Bubbles cocktail with the purchase of the lobster imperial menu, available during peak bloom (March 21-March 24). Philippe Chow’s beloved panda statue out front reveals its floral makeover from D.C. artist Chris Pyrate on March 21." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Celebrate New Year’s Eve with one of Philippe Chow’s three festive menu options.

The priciest “Platinum Celebration” costs $325 per person and includes a bottle of Moët & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rosé." - Vinciane Ngomsi
