    Shrimp friend rice with extra scallions, onions, and eggs.
    Andrea B.

    Grabbing some food to take home. It's my first time visiting this spot. I discovered it through a google search for Thai restaurants in the area near me (Battery Park). It was a very calm atmosphere inside the dining space. Dimly lit. The wait staff at the front door waited patiently for me to make my selections and was accommodated my special requests. I went with the fried rice with shrimp. The food was made fresh to order and came quickly.

    Hot and Sour Soup
    Ming M.

    Loved the shrimp pad Thai and hot and sour soup today. Very impressed that even though they are undergoing renovations, the kitchen is still operational and the food tastes the same as always! I ordered online and the food was ready when I arrived. Excellent customer service as usual. The gold standard of Asian cooking! I hope this place does not close because I saw a sign that says Friedman's is taking over the space. Please, do no close! I will continue to takeout from here.

    Have seen mixed reviews but was craving Chinese take out. Order was prompt and ready when I arrived. Hot and sour soup had a good kick to it. Wish it had more mushrooms. Beef lo mein was great. Noodles were chewy and flavored without drowning in sauce. Beef was cooked well with some char marks on it.

    Have been ordering a lot of takeout recently and Wei West has become our go-to restaurant in the area for Asian food. The sushi rolls have been consistently good as well as the noodles dishes (especially the Pad Thai and the Chow Fun). The Sizzling Beef Short Ribs is also one of our favorites. In a recent order we tried the Wei West Pizza (a crunchy crust with spicy tuna, guacamole, spicy mayo and eel sauce) and it was terrific - a great combination of flavors with a bit of a spicy kick. The restaurant is setup for easy pickups with a table for the orders upfront and service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend and will continue to return!

    General Tso Chicken
    Heather E.

    My gf and I went here with our friend and it was very good! Our friend said she has not stopped thinking about the food from the last time she went (which was about a year ago). We could definitely see why. We got the shrimp pad thai and general tso chicken, both were so tasty and fresh. We loved that they had a gluten free menu! The restaurant is also right near the financial district which is such a fun spot!

    Take out pad Thai - this was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. The chicken is really tender and the portion is huge
    Mel T.

    Quality has gone down in the past few years. I ordered the Pad Thai again, but this time, I asked if they could make it spicy. Apparently to them, this just means to add extra salt/fish sauce. I was only able to eat half before my tongue started to get numb from all the sodium, and I didn't want it to fall off. I paid $18 (including tax and tip) for some Bad Thai. On the flip side, my colleague ordered the chow fun and said it was bland AF. Guess they saved all the salt for my dish. Wei West was the go-to for team outtings since it is close to the office and can usually seat large groups (I say usually because this past time we went, our group of ten was seated by the sushi bar, even though we made reservations ahead of time). Kind of defeats the whole purpose of a team lunch. Will be looking for a new spot next time.

    Lunch special - choice of 3 rolls
    Cristina G.

    Wei West has been my go-to for a quick light bite for YEARS and also our usual spot for team outings, but after our last visit, I can confidently say we won't be back. I diligently made a reservation for 10 people 2 weeks in advance. When we showed up for our team lunch yesterday, I told them we had a reservation under my name and the woman in the front INSISTED that we did not. Not even an apology for the confusion, just accusing me of not making a reservation. Ok, off a lovely start. We asked if they could still accommodate us with seating, even if we had to divide our group up into 5 and 5, but nope! 8 of us were uncomfortably squeezed into the bar area (I sat in front of a pile of plates and had a waitress' hand in my face every few minutes when she went to grab one) and 2 others were seated at a small table behind us. This was certainly not the team lunch we envisioned. If the prior accusations of me not making a reservation were not enough, a man mentioned to my boss that it's not their fault (again, are we still on this?!) because a reservation wasn't made. They were so adamant about me not making a reservation and pointing fingers. That's not how you treat loyal customers. Is it not possible that the person who I made the reservation with messed up? Do only perfect beings work there? C'mon, man. I would have deducted a couple of stars for the garbage service alone, but I went ahead and reduced this to 1 star because the quality of the food has declined drastically. We ate at the sushi bar since we didn't have a table and the smell was totally unappetizing. The last time I ordered from here, the salmon in my roll was mushy and falling apart, and after sitting at that sushi bar, I know it's because their sushi quality has gone down to 0. For my lunch, I ordered 2 rolls (staying away from any raw fish from here though). I ordered one special roll at a whopping $15.95 which was ridiculous, along with a basic avocado roll. The fried fish in my special roll was cold and the avocado roll was swapped for a California roll instead of the roll I ordered. Woof. 3 of my colleagues also complained about their food being overly salty or overly spicy. What is going on in this place?! To top this all off, they added $4 gratuity to my bill. Good approach on their part because I didn't think a tip was deserved here at all. They can have the $4 as my parting gift to them because I won't be back. Service? Non-existent. Quality? None whatsoever.

    Happy hour menu
    Shaji K.

    Stopped by here after work on a Thursday night for a quick meal. Despite the happy hour, not many people inside the restaurant, so was able to grab a seat at the bar immediately. Happy hour is 4:30-7pm Monday-Friday with specials on drinks as well as small plates. Decided on the Chicken Satay ($6) to go along with a draft beer ($6). Meal includes two skewers of grilled chicken, peanut sauce, and a small side salad. have to admit that the chicken was not very good - tough meat that tasted old. Peanut sauce did not help matters much, though the side salad was fine enough. Server here is very thorough and even warned patrons of the happy hour ending soon. Probably wouldn't eat here again, but would go back for drinks.

    Dinner for one at Buddakan turned into one of those rare experiences where the setting is nearly as…read morememorable as the food. Located within the historic Chelsea Market building--a former Nabisco factory where Oreo cookies were first produced--the restaurant feels theatrical in the best possible way. The soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting, and energetic atmosphere create a sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. It feels less like simply going out to dinner and more like stepping into a beautifully staged production. I started with a Botanist Gin Martini with a twist, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The surprise star of the evening was the new Cucumber Tiger Salad. The balance of flavors was exceptional: bright acidity, a pleasant touch of heat, and just enough mint to make each bite feel fresh and exciting. Every so often the mint would come through and suddenly all the flavors would click together in a way that made me immediately want another bite. This is a dish I would happily order again. Next came the Edamame Dumplings. They were delicate and comforting, especially when enjoyed with the accompanying broth. The broth adds depth and richness that elevates the entire dish. My only suggestion would be the slightest touch more salt, perhaps even a finishing sprinkle of black volcanic salt for both flavor and presentation. I also found myself wishing there were a bit more of that delicious broth because it contributes so much to the overall experience. For my entrée, I ordered the Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fish was rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the accompaniments were composed. The pickled cucumbers brought brightness, acidity, and crunch, while the black bean and eggplant relish delivered deep savory notes and unexpected complexity. I'm generally not an eggplant fan, but this relish was outstanding. The cucumbers and relish sit at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum, yet both somehow make the cod even better. Looking back, I think a glass of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the cod would have been the perfect pairing. I finished with the Miso Caramel Milk Bar, which was spectacular. Decadent, sweet, salty, and touched with just enough umami to keep every bite interesting. The chocolate crumble underneath added a wonderful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the creamy ice cream and luscious caramel sauce. Every component worked together perfectly, creating a dessert that was both indulgent and sophisticated. From start to finish, the meal felt polished, thoughtful, and memorable. Thank you!

I also tried the Blush cocktail which was similar to a lychee martini. I loved it and it was perfectly sweet. Overall it was on the pricey side once we split everything, but the vibes were great for a nice night out.

Stronger truffle flavor - Crudo di Catch (5/5): one of the thinnest crudo you will find. So delicious, light, fresh and bright! - Baked crab rolls (4.5/5): these were the perfect size and the crab inside is so large and plump and juicy - Hellfire roll (3.5/5): not my favorite (spicy tuna is mushy) but I am also not a huge spicy tuna lover. Its really good though but wish there was a bit more crunch factor in the roll - Otoro with caviar (4/5): classic, tastes as you expect, nothing mindblowing - Lobster mac and cheese (5/5): highly highly recommend. The lobster chunks are delicious and the rigatoni is perfectly al dente. Does not even taste too cheesy which is why I loved it so much - tasted more like vodka rigatoni with lobster :D - NY streak (4/5): I'm not a huge steak person but this was pretty good. Cooked medium, nice amount of fat without too much, and a nice crispy crust. Also thin enough too my liking so it does not feel overly heavy - Baby bok choy salad (4/5): I actually really liked this one - thought it was super light and refreshing and perfectly complemented the steak. Had a nice crunch factor from the bokchoy and candied pumpkin seeds Amazing meal, great for a group or celebration when you want to splurge a bit!

Being an older man i dress appropriately, especially given a dress code. Most of our party had been to NYC many times. There was a strict itinerary that included Catch. World Cup frenzy added to the fun. I know how hard it is to seat large parties, we had to wait. My first recommendation is to prohibit parties larger than 5. The atmosphere was dark but lively, i waited at the sushi bar who i hoped were Itamae do their thing. Then who i thought were delivery folk or street people walked in and were seated definitely contrary to the dress code. I would not have minded if there wasnt a detailed code and i packed clothes that displaced other things i would've brought. Once seated i think they tried some service recovery and they brought this bread that was artful, flaky and absolutely delicious, it had a seasoned whipped butter that was OUTRAGEOUS! They added the spicy shrimp that made me want to slap my mama. Then it went downhill. I ordered the salmon with fava bean purée (i had no idea what that was and was not tasteful), asparagus and spinach. Brussel sprouts showed up without the veggies i ordered. I gave the salmon a 'B'. However, our gorgeous server was gracious, apologetic and comped the entire meal. I left a bit forlorn and a bit ambivalent if i would return, NYC has too many other restaurants. But try it and write a review.
