I've been to Philippe Chow multiple times and always enjoyed the food and had excellent service. Last night I had the Shanghai Noodles and my friend had the Shrimp Satay with brown rice. We were both very happy with the food. One bit of feedback - service seemed a little rushed - they came to pick up our dishes literally the second my friend put her fork down after finishing her plate. That said, it was a Saturday night and no doubt they had a lot of reservations. Just don't expect a leisurely meal.

We ordered the Taste of South served family style at the recommendation of the waiter and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The spread included three courses with perfect portions of each component, served with appropriate time in between to savor each dish. It was a wonderful sampling that included some items we would not have tried otherwise.

The service was great and the food was outstanding at Iron Gate. The staff works as a team and they are very well trained. Having dinner here made my husband's birthday very special.

Food and services were excellent. Only issue is they don’t have a regular coat check. They put the coats it seems where ever they could find space. When it came time to leave they couldn’t find my coat. Eventually they found it but it took a while.

Very beautiful location on the corner with beautiful interiors and great atmosphere. Food and service was excellent. Best bet going when there’s no events going on in the Capital Arena and on the weekend when it closes later. Overall a place well enjoyed!!!
