Excellent. Really busy, but worth the wait. – This restaurant has been around for years, and it just keeps on going. It's pretty typical for modern "pan-asian" but this restaurant was pan-asian before there was pan-asian. It's always busy, always a hotspot. The food is always excellent. There's so much variety even the pickiest of eaters will be happy. This is an adult crowd, I wouldn't recommend kids. Not someplace you want to come to with anything less than "business casual" or you'll feel out of place. It's pretty much a ... read more

Waste of time and money – Terrible. Bad service from the waitress and host to begin with. They messed up my reservation for starters and then gave me an attitude about it. Also, the food was overpriced, portions were small, and tasted bland. Stay away!!!

Nice place, good for the boys club – Once a month my friends are doing a dinner... this month this was the spot a table for six in the center of the room we made a meal out of 4 apps and 4 dinner courses... You know when you go someplace and the food is good... but in general (nothing really stands out as being WoW) Well they had that banana smash desert -- that was really good.. we had the lamb ribs (pretty good) & the duck salad (also tasty) Price wasnt too hard to handle - Would eat there again (but i'd give it sometime -... read more

"OK" Eatery – Definitely well-suited for large parties ( we were 9 around a round-table), the food at the family-style asian eatery is well, ok. The calamari salad was great while the lamb ribs were fat, fattier and fattiest. The wasabi mashed potatoes were delicious while the chicken was dry. Don't miss the beef (but order two for more than 5 people). Service is FAST so if you are dining, order entrees after receiving apps.

Never Again! – After ordering off their Restaurant Week menu last night I would not recommend this restaurant at all unless you are fond of a LOT of noodles. I'm sorry I did not read the other reviews before going there. The lamb ribs were overcooked and full of fat. The entree had to be shared and was mostly noodles - very little meat. The coffee was very strong and did not taste fresh and overpriced at $3.50.

An '80s throwback that's still popular for Pan-Asian eats. – The Scene Located in the lobby level of famed "Black Rock," the CBS headquarters building, it's one of the busiest bars in Gotham, filled with attractive folks in suits yelling at each other over the din. The dramatic space complements the food and will wow out-of-towners. The Food The consistently scrumptious Pan-Asian food is a secondary consideration when you're trying to chat up a 26-year-old who, unbeknownst to you, is in a position of great power. But to seal... read more

Not a bad choice for groups – China Grill is a very cool, NY restaurant with huge soaring ceilings and a chic look to it. It is also blaringly loud and usually crowded. The food is good but somewhat expensive even given the fact that most orders are shareable. I am sure there are plenty of other pan-asian restaurants in NY but this one is so NY that it is worth a visit. The calamari salad is a must while the grilled chicken entree was a bust. Definitely do dessert though.
