Profile

Chef-partner Peter Klein started out cooking at China Grill and El Teddy's, then parlayed that spicy Chino-Latino experience into a lucrative cross-country consulting gig. Luckily for us, he's settled down in the West Village, where's he's turning out addictive honey-plum-glazed spareribs, Sichuan steak-frites, and Shanghai lobster noodles. Potent house cocktails fuel a lively bar crowd, which seems ecstatic to finally find a quasi-exotic neighborhood place to call its own. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

4/18/07: This bar used to be a good value, but the owner's just raised their drink prices 20%, to $12 a pop, so with tip = $14. Chow Bar is not such a good bar now.
