Philippe Chow, known for its opulent Beijing-inspired cuisine, is set to open in 2024 at Cummins Station in Nashville. 

“We are growing Philippe Chow in cities with a global cultural impact, a strong hospitality culture, and a respect for culinary luxury," says Abraham Merchant, CEO of Philippe Chow. "Nashville is one of the few cities in the world that we think will appreciate Chef Chow’s renowned style of Chinese cuisine, our unparalleled service, and our unique high-energy ambiance.”

Philippe Chow’s first and now flagship location opened in Uptown Manhattan in 2005. Since then, the restaurant has remained popular among New York City’s power crowd –– attracting athletes, musicians, and stars including Rihanna, Jay-Z, Adam Sandler, and Mariah Carey. Known for his modern, flavorful, and theatrical style, Chef Chow is the brand’s visionary and namesake. 

Philippe Chow in Nashville will feature the brand’s well-loved family-style menu. The restaurant is known for its classics like Salt & Pepper Lobster, Green Prawns with stir-fried vegetables, green chili, and cashews, Glazed Spare Ribs, Filet Mignon with oyster sauce, and Chef Chow’s legendary Peking Duck, carved table-side and served with pancakes made fresh every morning. Other standout menu items include Satays, hand-pulled noodles, an array of dumplings, sustainable seafood, and other wok-prepared delicacies. There are also several off-menu specialties available for in-the-know regulars. 

The cocktail program, spearheaded by Amir Babayoff, offers playful and unique selections of spirits and ingredients such as a tropical Old fashioned with coconut, banana and cacao, and Espresso Martini with Absolut Elyx, Borghetti, amaro, Black Strap rum, vanilla and espresso, and a Lychee Martini with Bols Genever, Haku vodka, coconut, Ramazotti, Sake, rose, and lychee. 

“Philippe Chow is unlike anything we’ve had in Nashville before,” says Zach Liff, a Nashville native and owner of DZL Management Company. “Philippe Chow is adding a new mix of glamour, excitement, and culinary excellence that will help define The Station District and elevate Nashville further in the global restaurant scene.”

For the design, Philippe Chow tapped design and architectural firm //3877, who took a modern approach, balancing the rich culture of Chinese traditions with a fresh perspective. An opulent blend of glamor and sophistication sets the tone of the lavish 10,000-square-foot restaurant.
