by New York, NY: After more than two decades on the Upper East Side, Philippe Chow has officially relocated to a glossy new flagship on Fifth Avenue, marking a major shift for one of the city’s most recognizable dining spots.
The new location at 10 East 52nd Street in Midtown East opened on March 27, 2026, bringing the same iconic menu into a more elevated, high-profile setting.
A Major Move to Midtown’s “Luxury Row”
After years on East 60th Street, Philippe Chow has traded its longtime home for a larger, multi-level space in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
- Two floors open now, with a third planned
- Located steps from Fifth Avenue’s luxury corridor
- Designed for both dining and high-end events
The move signals a shift toward an even more premium, experience-driven concept.
Same Iconic Menu, Same Chef at the Helm
Chef Philippe Chow continues to lead the kitchen, ensuring longtime fans will still find their favorite dishes.
Signature offerings include:
- Hand-pulled noodles and dumplings
- Tableside-carved Peking duck
- Chicken satay and green prawns
- Salt and pepper lobster
- Kung pao chicken
“The menu stays true to what made the restaurant famous—bold flavors and shareable luxury.”
The restaurant continues its focus on family-style dining and tasting menus, perfect for groups and celebrations.
Dining That Feels Like a Performance
At Philippe Chow, the experience goes beyond just food.
- Start with a lychee martini
- End with the signature cotton candy baked Alaska, flambéed tableside
- Try the new Moët & Satay prix fixe, pairing courses with Moët & Chandon
The restaurant continues to blend fine dining with theatrical presentation.
A Bold, High-Design Space
The new flagship was designed by the D.C.-based firm //3877, and it leans heavily into luxury aesthetics.
- Black marble and glossy wood finishes
- Velvet textures and sheer fabrics
- A striking brass staircase centerpiece
Upstairs, expanded private dining areas and a Private Wine Cellar with its own entrance make it a prime destination for exclusive events.
A New VIP Experience Is Coming
Philippe Chow is also introducing a concierge-style program called Nǐ Hǎo, aimed at offering loyal guests personalized service across locations nationwide.
This signals the brand’s push toward a more lifestyle-driven, hospitality-focused experience.
A Restaurant That’s Always Been More Than Dining
