This is an amazing restaurant...don't look at all the bad things the others are writing. The food is very fresh and tasty...much better than Chinatown!!! but make sure you make reservations. I go to eat here every weekend.

Pros: delicious food, a lot of variety, amazing atmosphere

The food was ok, the hot sauce is what made it better. I was disappointed. I tried the place based off of the reviews I saw here. The lady that served us was incredibly rude the entire time. She even blew her nose at the table as we ordered. That was such a turn off -- ewww. I will not be returning to this place.

Pros: Location

Cons: Service

Not what they use to be! This was great years ago.But now the quality is sub par and the taste lacks that of oriental.

This spot is by far one of the best in Times Square. The cocktails are inventive and really yummy. Asian margartia and martinis are fabulous. The seafood dishes were very fresh and tasted great, perfect spice, not too salty or too much sauce.

We had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated-make a reservation if you can. The night we went there were about 9 reservations for parties of 2 and they got seated pretty quickly. Waitress was very nice. Seating accomodations are kind of uncomfortable. You sit next to other parties and they have to move the tables to allow you into your seat. The sushi was okay but portions were kind of small and pricey. We are used to Miami sushi were you get about 8 good size pieces for $15. I had the Tempura Shrimp with Avocado and Mango ($9.50) and it only brought 5 pieces. My husband had the Florida Crunchy Roll ($9.00) which brought about 6 little pieces. We also had the Chicken pineapple fried rice which was truly excellent! They do offer you 3 different dipping sauces for the sushi which are pretty good. Their dessert was excellent-we had Banana rolls with chocolate and caramel sauces-excellent! Overall good experience.

Pros: Excellent Dessert!

Cons: Uncomfortable seating and overpriced sushi.

This is by far the worst Chinese food or Dim Sum I have ever had and yet the most expensive I have ever paid. Service was okay, but food was not good at all. Mostly are very Americanize Chinese dishes. When the menu is English only, you know you need to go else where for real Chinese food. I won't recommend anyone to this restaurant. My husband didn't like the food either. There you have it--neither a Chinese nor an American like the food--think twice.

Pros: good location--Time Square

Cons: Bad food, pricy.

Ruby Foo's is considered the higher end eclectic sushi, similar to Sushi Samba. I personally like their sushi and sashimi. The dishes are small for their price but you go to Ruby Foo's if you're looking for good sushi, not the kind in your neighborhood (i.e., Havana Central for Cuban vs. local Cuban spot; China Chalet for Chinese food, etc.) Their sticky rice is really good. It can get crowded at times given its location but just be smart about what time you go.

Pros: Eclectic menu, great ambience (the one uptown is beautiful)

Cons: Expensive

Surely for tourists and people who don't know authentic Chinese food. An expert can tell just from the menu. If you are in a hurry and must step inside, no problem. But if you are looking for something better than fast food served in a seeminly elegant room, go somewhere else.

The staff is awesome - sometimes you even get an aspiring actress who inadvertently provides your table with a great couple hours of entertainment The ambiance is chic and eclectic The food is great - and there is so much to choose from; no one will go displeased It can be pricey - with drinks and apps - but it's worth it.

Pros: Food, Staff, Ambiance

Cons: Can be pricey

This place is so ridiculous. I cannot believe that anyone other than a dumb hokey tourist would eat in this lame theme park -type joint. The prices are obscene and the food is really quite lousy. One is better off taking a trip down to Chinatown. Its not any dirtier than Times Square or anywhere else in Manhattan. Our notorious rodent population is not discriminating on what part of the city they like to dine ! Save your hard earned cash and venture out to the other boroughs for good NY Chinese fare if you can find it. This place is a big rip-off and it's really fast-food Chinese in a dark atmosphere with faux-Chinese decor. If you like to be fooled and ripped off this is the place for you !

Pros: NONE

Cons: MANY
