The legendary singer paid a visit to Mr Chow in Los Angeles with his husband David and the pair were seen slipping out of the back of the Chinese restaurant into a waiting car to whisk them home.
It was Elton's mother's birthday just a few days before, and in lieu of having her son perform at the 90th celebration, Sheila Farebrother hired a tribute act instead.
Elton and Sheila haven't spoken since 2008, after falling out over an alleged remarked she made to David, 52, which upset the director.

In an interview in April 2011, Mrs Farebrother told a newspaper: ‘It happened three years ago this June. He has had nothing to do with me since then.
‘I don’t want to go into what caused it. It is a painful subject. My son cut me out of his life for good.’
The article reported that it had been suggested that Sheila made a remark that offended Sir Elton’s civil partner, now his husband, and that David ‘went ballistic’.

Asked if the rift with her 68-year-old son had been sparked by a row with David, she replied: ‘It was something like that, but not exactly. I don’t want to talk about it.’
While Mrs Farebrother celebrated her birthday, the real Elton was in America, where he is on a tour that includes an extended stay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, earning a reported £340,000 per show.
Only last week, Elton seemed to call off his boycott of Dolce & Gabbana after taking offence to designer Domenico Dolce's comments about 'synthetic' IVF children.
