Philippe Chow has a new flagship heading to Fifth Avenue, with plans to open this fall at 10 East 52nd Street. The new location, expected to open in September according to the Philippe Chow website, comes in light of plans to close the brand’s longstanding Upper East Side location, which has been operating for two decades.
The last day of service for the Upper East Side location will be July 12. There is one more location in New York City — Philippe Downtown — that opened in 2019 and will continue to operate.
The brand, part of the Merchants Hospitality portfolio, is spearheaded by chef Philippe Chow, who brought the brand to New York City in 2004. Since then, it has become a popular destination for upscale dining.
“Philippe is equally praised for consistent quality and impeccable service, as well as for being an enduring staple of New York City that has attracted sophisticated foodies and Manhattan’s elite for over 15 years,” the Philippe Chow website states. “With meticulous attention to detail, a commitment to bringing the flavors of his upbringing to the U.S., and a carefully crafted environment in which the ‘who’s who’ of New York feel at home, Chef Chow is making culinary history.”
The brand is known for signature dishes like the salt and pepper eggplant, filet mignon with oyster sauce and peking duck. The menu features plenty of seafood and protein-based entrees, as well as items like dumplings, crispy spring rolls and lettuce wraps.
Philippe Chow also has locations in Washington, D.C., and Kuwait City, and it has a location on the way to Nashville.
