History

Michael Chow, son of Chinese Peking Opera Grand Master, Zhou Xinfang, opened the first Mr. Chow in Knightbridge, London on February 14, 1968. A Beverly Hills 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 and another in Las Vegas in 2010.^[6][7]

Michael Chow has said the Mr. Chow restaurants have always been underlined by a desire and need to promote the Chinese culture. “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?”^[8]

Alan Richman of GQ Magazine has described the experience at Mr. Chow as, “An establishment that cannot be defined by customary standards but must be appreciated for its sheer fabulousness.”^[9]
