“Renowned restaurant brand Phillipe Chow is thrilled to announce that its first location outside of NYC opens on Wednesday, June 14 in Washington, D.C. at 635 Wharf St., SW.
Situated on the picturesque edge of the Potomac River at The Wharf, the buzzy mile-long waterfront destination known for its world-class collection of restaurants, retail, and residential communities, Philippe Chow is housed in a luxurious, 350-seat space (250 inside, 100 outside) designed by acclaimed local firm //3877.
“We couldn’t have envisioned a better home for our first location outside of New York, and we are elated to share with Washingtonians––and the global visitors it attracts––a taste of Chef Chow’s renowned style of Chinese cuisine, alongside the unparalleled service and high-energy ambiance that we pride ourselves in,” says Abraham Merchant, CEO of Philippe Chow.
An iconic restaurant for almost two decades, Philippe Chow’s first, and now flagship, location opened in Uptown Manhattan in 2005. Since then, the restaurant has remained an undisputed favorite among New York City’s power crowd––attracting athletes, musicians and film stars such as Rihanna, Jay-Z, Adam Sandler, and Mariah Carey (to name a few).
Known for his modern, flavorful, and theatrical style, Chef Chow—the brand’s visionary and namesake—is world-renowned for his Beijing-style dishes. Read More
