Mr. Chow arrived in Beverly Hills back in 1974 and has delivered a delicious Chinese dining experience with an overlay of art, style and celebrity clientele ever since. Everything on the menu is tried and true, and delicious; just be ready to pay Beverly Hills prices to go with the star-studded ambience. And be prepared to sit very close to your neighbors, as the tables are set very tightly together. Order the Green Shrimp, the Mr. Chow Noodles and the Beijing (Peking) Duck, for all are house specialties and mainstays of this classic high-end Chinese eatery. Beach lovers will also find a Mr. Chow in Malibu; go there for a more laid-back vibe and the same excellent fare.
