    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

    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.

There was nothing on that menu that let us down. We started with two Calpico sodas, which are always a solid choice. My wife had the Omu Soba and loved it. I went with the Tonkatsu Ramen and that dish was everything. Rich, satisfying, the kind of bowl you do not want to end. We also shared the Kalbi, which are Korean short ribs, and they were outstanding. All three of us were on the same page about those. My son added two salmon tacos to the mix. He enjoyed them but said they did not hit quite as hard as his Mew Special Roll, which was clearly the standout of his night. It features raw tuna and what I believe is a combination of salmon and seared salmon on top. Either way, that sear flavor is really good. Worth trying if you get the chance. The space was lively and busy, which gave it a great energy. We ended up at a long communal table with another couple, but it never felt cramped or uncomfortable. There was enough room to breathe and enjoy the meal. My son mentioned his back felt a little tight from the seating, but that was a minor thing in an otherwise great night. Izakaya Mew delivered on every level. Great food, great atmosphere, and a dinner I am already looking forward to repeating

    We stopped in for a work lunch, and I ordered the Kaisen donburi. They were out of uni, which our…read moreserver let me know right away and mentioned they would lower the price to $30 instead. At the time, I thought that seemed fair enough, but looking back, I'm not so sure. For what was left in the bowl, $30 still felt overpriced. The fish slices were cut extremely thin, and there was really only a single layer of fish, so overall it just wasn't very satisfying. That said, there are still quite a few items on the menu that caught my eye and that I'd like to try. I'm going to chalk this one up to ordering the wrong dish rather than writing the place off completely. One thing that did leave a bad impression, though, was the interaction at the end of the meal. The girl who brought our check wasn't exactly rude, but she seemed visibly annoyed when we asked about using Apple Pay but ended up putting the charge on my card and it felt like asking her to bring over the Apple Pay machine was somehow inconveniencing her. She also didn't bother asking whether I wanted my receipt. Maybe none of it was intentional, but her overall demeanor came across that way and left us ending the meal with a bad taste in our mouths.

You can order a little and keep adding depending on how big or small each dish is. We came right at 5 pm when they opened. We didn't have a reservation, and after some fumbling they got us four seats at the bar (looking over grilling chefs at work). Not bad, though we were hoping for a table. Great decor and ambiance as always. Wish the grilled shrimps come with shell on, and with salt only (no sauce).

    Yakitori Totto has been around for ages, and I've visited this location in person a few times…read morethough it's been a while! Their location is a little hidden, it's on the second floor above Soba Noodle Azuma on 55th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, closer to 8th. You have to go up a stairwell on the side. Getting to the food, their focus is on meat, seafood and vegetable skewers though they also have a variety of appetizers, rice bowls and noodles, and dessert. The meats and veggies are grilled over charcoal while basted with "tare", a house-made sauce that adds a level of umami to the caramelized grill flavors. Recently I got a handful of skewers for takeout, including: - Ebi (shrimp) $8 x 2: the shrimp were cooked just right, tender and juicy, yum! - Hotate Eringi (scallop and oyster mushrooms) $8 x 2: the textures of the oyster mushrooms and scallop pieces complemented each other, and were kinda similar. Another tasty offering. - Negi pon (pork belly with scallions) $7: I'm not a huge fan of pork belly in general, though they grilled it well here and chopped scallions added a little spicy tickle. While not the cheapest for skewers that you can find, (and inflation hasn't helped,) their flavors are authentic and their quality and consistency is key here. I'm glad it's still here since there seems to be fewer and fewer good yakitori spots in Manhattan these days. They used to have another location in the city though I believe this closed pre-pandemic, however from their website they now have another location in Boston. This was also the sister restaurant to Ramen Totto which had four locations at one point though all have shuttered as well. Hope this location stays around for a long time!

It's not especially big, so you may have a bit of a wait if you frequent right at lunch or in the evening but whatever amount of time you have to wait it will be well worth it. Service is top tier but you come for the food. They have a varied menu with a lot of options so if you're bringing a buddy that isn't up for Katsu, they'll have plenty to choose from. The Katsu is the star and I think what sets this place apart is that they offer Berkshire pork katsu as an option. Arguably some of the best pork, it's great to have the option if you're looking to heighten the experience. I love their pork katsu and go nuts over the chicken katsu curry. It's super crispy, slightly greasy but never off-putting. And it's served with the most delicate and delicious cabbage slaw. I could eat a mountain of this it's so good. Highly recommended.

It came with cabbage (with a sesame ginger type dressing), daikon radish (with some type of sauce on top), and the standard sauce for the tonkatsu, along with some crushed sesame seed and hot mustard. I'd have to say...the tonkatsu was quite good....not quite as sublime as my favorite tonkatsu place in Tokyo...but still, very, very good. The dish also came with a bowl of miso soup (good, and not overly salty) and a bowl of white rice, which I considered the most disappointing part of the meal. The rice seemed a bit dried out...not moist.... All in all, an excellent meal. I'd definitely come back.
