History

Michael Chow, son of Chinese Peking Opera Grand Master, Zhou Xinfang, opened the first Mr. Chow in Knightsbridge, London, on February 14, 1968. A Beverly Hills, California location soon followed in 1974 and Midtown New York at 57th Street in 1978. In 2006 the fourth location in Tribeca, New York opened. In 2009 a location opened in South Beach Miami at the W Hotel, and another in Malibu, California, in 2012 at the Malibu Country Mart. [6]

In 1999, Eurochow, a restaurant located in a $4-million restoration of a landmark domed building in Westwood Village neighborhood of Los Angeles opened but closed by 2007. [7] [8]

Michael Chow has said the Mr. Chow restaurants have always been underlined by a desire and need to promote the Chinese culture. [5] "China always has been a great, great nation", Chow stated in a Wall Street Journal interview and added, "Chinese people — I like them. What can I say?" [5]

Reception

Alan Richman of GQ Magazine , described the experience at Mr. Chow as one "that cannot be defined by customary standards but must be appreciated for its sheer fabulousness." [9] The New York Times critic Frank Bruni gave Mr. Chow Tribeca zero stars, and New York magazine critic Adam Platt gave it a similarly dismal review. [10] [11] The goal of his restaurant design is to be fancy and expensive, being quoted as saying "Expensive is important. Very important." [10]
