What People Are Saying About China Grill

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 the deal, a table for two and a few bites of grilled salmon on greens or lamb in mandarin orange sauce is the way to go. Food like this can be found in other cities, but the combination of architecture, arrogance and mouthwatering aromas is strictly a New York phenomenon.

I rarely venture to midtown in hopes to find truly excellent meal, especially directly by Time Square, however China Grill has proven that they can provide great food and great service even in a touristy area. A few friends and I went to China Grill for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. This was our first time there, but it was recommended by a friend for large groups so we thought we'd try it out. Upon arriving, we were seated immediately with our table (9 people) already set. Right away we were greeted by our waiter with a big smile. We all ordered some cocktails off their list (pear margarita is EXCELLENT!!). After looking at the menu we all placed our orders. The food is meant to share so it just kinda came out as it was ready. That was different but a very cool idea. We passed all the plates around a ate like a big family. It was great. The restaurant was busy but you would have never noticed with the service that we got. We never had to wait long for anything and then when we ordered dessert, it came out with a big "Happy Birthday" written on the plate and a candle. It was adorable!!!! We all had a blast and my boyfriend absolutely loved his birthday dinner. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone, hands down one of the more impressive and memorable restaurant experiences I have had in a while. Thanks you China Grill!!!!!

Service was like they were trying to turn tables every 30 minutes. Starters came out before we had even had a sip of our cocktails and my wife's lobster (cooked to a mush) came to the table 10 minutes after my duck (way overdone). Took a few bites and left as soon as we could. This was our first and definitely LAST visit.
