China grill offer prefix menu for Restaurant week, but they dont let you know that you get only 1 main course and 1 dessert for 2 people. Although the portions are bigger, if I would know, I would pick different restaurant next time.

As a native New Yorker that has visited China and the Far East in general many times I went to China Grill at the suggestion of a friend, but against my better judgment. The name of this restaurant should certainly be changed as it has nothing to do with Chinese food. Very overpriced - even by New York standards. I ordered the beef dumplings which were too spicy to eat and the lobster roll which was mostly mushrooms and had a terrible heavy sauce on it. The staff was friendly and the service was good, but I went very late and they were not at all busy. Not like any Chinese food I've ever known.

We went for restaurant week and feel so ripped off. It was 3 of us and the menu allowed 2 entrees. We ordered the skirt steak and salmon and each was sized for maybe one person at most. We were lucky to complain and get another steak and dessert because we were going to come out hungry. I can't believe anywhere charges 40 dollars for a skirt steak that is less than a foot long and call themselves family style. If you go please assume it is all portioned for one person and be ready to dish out some cash.

Staff was rude rude and rude. Also ill-trained waitress. The most disappointing lunch I've ever had in NYC in 10 yrs. Don't embarass yourself by bringing clients or friends.

I haven't been to China Grill in a while but always loved it. I used to go at least twice a month and although some think the prices are a bit much, given the size of their portions it was reasonable for Midtown and the food was always good. Not anymore! While the food is still good, family style is their motto and that means sharing. Now if you want to share entrees then everyone in your party has to order one and then you can share and that's just barely unless your ordering one of their salads. It used to be two appetizers and one main dish was more than enough for 2 people but again..NOT ANYMORE. Plus the drinks even at happy hour prices are not worth it. Two glasses of wine put together made up one half of a glass. I think this is my last meal at China Grill even is someone else is paying. I know many places where the food is just as good and the drinks are not overpriced.

My GF and I went during restaurant week. Although the options on that menu seemed good, we chose to order off their regular menu. We shared the Chicken Salad as an appetizer (more than enough for 2 ppl) and we shared the Duck Two Ways (portion wasn't huge, maybe not enough for $42). The chocolate-orange sauce was very rich. We ended the night with the Great Wall dessert. TOO BIG for the 2 of us, but we destroyed it. 2 caramelized bananas, 3 long layers of Vanilla, Chocolate and Caramel ice cream, each separated by a thin cookie layer. All in all, the value for the quality of the food is acceptable in my eyes.

Reservations at 8:15 on Thur; we were there on time and didn't get seated until 8:50. Wine was waaaay overpriced. We bought a $46 bottle of Cono Sur and later found out it retails for $7. Waiter was excellent, but put off by the wait and wine price. Won't go back.
