Reviews
The restaurant was awesome. Was abit dubious when I came up the stairs but was pleasantly surprised. The decor, lights ambience was great. Waiter very attentive and cocktail rosebud special were delicious. 2 for 1. The food was tasty, the sauce packed a good punch in the burger. Huge disappointment were the verges that appeared to be from frozen with a drizzle of sauce. Would not recommended and detracted from giving it 5 stars.
The staff here are incredible. We went on a night when pretty much every seat was full and everyone was run off thier feet, yet we still received fantastic service from our waitress. All the food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious. We particularly loved the squid!Recommended dishesCoconut Rice, Prawn Summer Rolls
Was lucky to have my Belated Mother's day lunch here & it did not disappoint! Coconut rice,Rice paper rolls, Fish cakes,Coffees, Vegetable curry,Corn fritters almost all with either dipping sauces or added extras Fav would have been the Fritters and Curry, Fast lunchtime service Nothing Boring or Beige here! Always a deal to be had Clean Friendly efficient staff Nice n light seating with many options available Good coffee Thanks Highly recommend!!!
Great little place to celebrate and try a variety of dishes. We had dinner to celebrate a mate graduating on Tuesday and they had 2 for 1 cocktails Rosebud which was great especially on a work night to share amongst the group. Between the four of us we spent approx. $75 each for food and drinks and we still had some of the food left
Come on, Chow, you can do better than that. Much better. A lot better. First impression was good. The line into Chow. The vibe. The décor. The crowd. The other reviews I read before coming in. The waiter/usher who brought me to my table. That’s it; it all slowly went downhill after that. My table was sticky; it felt like it was not cleaned thoroughly from the previous service. The restaurant's cleanliness was meh. The food was decent. The cocktail was fair, and the dumplings and the fried chicken were worth it. All these matter to a certain degree, but I believe the service and the attitude matter equally, if not more. During the whole meal I felt that I was perceived as almost nonexistent, as on several occasions I would like to add an order, add water, or inquire on something, after making eye contact/raising my hand/trying to gain attention with separate staff members, after a few saw me, they simply passed by me and continued onward without even stopping. If almost all other similar-style restaurants in the country are able to engage continuous interaction with the guest for the whole duration of the service, I think it’s fair for me to point out this oddity. The majority of the staff pretty much just disappeared with 20 minutes remaining before the restaurant closes. The waitress who initially took my order was gone like a wind since the very first order. I added another bao bun after the first round of my dish. Sitting within reaching distance of the serving hatch, I watched the last remaining staff pass by my bun ten to twenty times without anyone bothered noticing it. It was left there on the counter for over 15 minutes. The staff who took my added order didn’t care to bring me my food even though he passed by the food several times; he simply took some to-go food and left. Later, I was told that all but one staff just returned this week from getting covid, and I am sorry to hear that, I truly am, yet it still should not be a reason for the lack of professionalism. Being in the service industry is hard. Being a waiter/waitress is not easy. However, if the aforementioned health condition is hindering any/all your ability to perform your job, I believe not just me but every customer and everyone who cares for their/your wellbeing, that I rather have you stay home and get some rest and recuperate to your full capability before returning. I think it would be quite unreasonable if I am to work with my sub-par health condition, especially since it’s covid. While there were compensations in the end, I hope and I believe this is not the way to conclude any service. Parting with guests via “sorry” and apologies does not go a long way. I rather pay the full amount or even order more expensive items from the menu and have a good night, than have to go through this unfortunately dreadful, hopefully a one-time-thing dinner. While the following should not be any way of a factor in how I should be received, this first-time experience to Chow just made my first week in moving back to NZ for the first time in over 20 years extra peculiar. Being said, I don’t want to be treated any special. I am not and should not be a special customer. I just and should just be ANOTHER customer. Treat everyone EQUALLY. Unless this is the way Chow has been treating the patrons, then please carry on. But based on my observation sitting at possibly one of the busiest intersections in the restaurant for over an hour, it was not the case. Finally I would like to thank Mere, the only staff in the end for the love of god who finally acknowledged me and tended me for hearing out my dissatisfaction. I appreciate being understood and provided the best explanation possible for their performance this evening. And I was promised the next time will be better. I have your word. Chow, I hope this is just one, if not the only, outliers of your performance, as opposed to most of your other reviews. I hope my next experience will be better. The only way now is up, right? Including photos of the bun sitting there waiting to be picked up
Chow is a safe go-to experience for dining with friends from out of town but only if you're feeling flush for cash, as it does add up. Going for the 2 4 1 cocktails on a Saturday is ideal but you will be told once you've ordered you're limited on time - which isn't great for enjoying a nice relaxing meal with friends. The food is great, but doesn't feel like the menu changes much. Cocktails are a lot of fun. Staff can be a little hit and miss but it's a huge place so they're dealing with huge numbers of tables
Conclusion is that this place is okay. We thoroughly enjoyed the mocktails and would definitely come back for them, especially with the 2 for 1 deal. WOAP burger was decently good, exactly what you would expect from a burger. The $15 lunch menus were pretty sad. I felt that the small details lacked. Such as the rice being a bit soggy, and the soup coming out way before the rest of the food. In most Asian cuisines the soup is meant to be enjoyed with the rest of the meal not as an entree. I can appreciate that the $15 lunch meals let you choose variety and portions although may look small in the picture it was very filling which is great for only $15. Just wish the small details were a bit more refined
Having been back at Chows after years and been at a similar place the day before in direct comparison it falls behind. But this is a really great place with great food. Great quality and flavors. The pork pan cakes like Peking Duck are really good. The sauce seems to be a standard one, and that is what makes the difference and only 4 at the end.
We had a pretty mediocre time here. The food was ok, nothing obviously wrong with it but it lacked oomph. The cocktails were too sweet and we felt like they just tasted of sugar. There are plenty of better places to go in Wellington. I wouldn't come back.Food: 3/5
Have been to Chow before and enjoyed the experience. However our visit last night was really disappointing. The food was below average and ridiculously over priced. 12 dollars for a tiny boa and everything else was about 17+ and tasted like it had been microwaved. The 241 cocktails seem a good deal, but are just full of sugar and don’t taste that great. To top it off the person serving us was very inattentive and rude.
