On vacation in December, I wanted to have lunch at a Beverly Hills restaurant and chose Mr. Chow. Before going in, I looked at the menu, posted outside, so there'd be no ""sticker shock"". We did not have reservations, but only waited about 10 minutes. I was disappointed in the size and the fact that the table had to be pulled out, in order for me to be seated. However, the wait staff was courteous. Our menus displayed the same pricey selections, but the food arrived swiftly and was excellent. My husband told me that Vivica A. Fox was seat at another table, so that was as added surprise. The only ""check"" surprise was bottled water at $8.00. With food so pricey, water at least should be complimentary. We'll be in LA in June, and plan to go to Mr. Chow again.
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Good portion sizes
Cons: Extremely crowded, Noise, Lack of privacy
