I've had a much better experience here lately, so re reviewing. Fresh hot, flavorful food with very friendly counter people now! What a relief,

San Wei and scallion noodles
May W.

San Wei had the longest line at the food stalls in Grand Central when we were trying to grab dinner before a broadway show. Noodles were fresh and flavorful, but had a bit of an acquired taste. We got the Shanghai Scallion Oil noodle and San Wei mixed noodle. The San Wei noodle had a lot more food, but the meat was a bit fatty.

Swung by this newish stall in the GCT food court and was pleasantly surprised! They have a good selection of both food and drinks and pretty quick service. I enjoyed the flavours of both noodle dishes we tried - I'd come back again to try more! Great addition to the food court / area.

Scallion Oil Noodles and Pork & Shrimp Wontons
Serapina C.

I think they're a pop-up (?) in the Grand Central dining concourse but nonetheless glad I came across it! They had a lot of different options for wontons and noodles + other dishes as well but I've always wanted to try scallion oil noodles, so I got that and my mom got the pork & shrimp wontons. Fell in love with the scallion oil noodles as it was slightly sweet but super savory with a hint of mala, and they were generous with the bokchoy which was a pleasant surprise. I'm also obsessed with cilantro so this definitely satisfied that craving. The noodles themselves were on the chewier side (which I liked) and the sauce itself was rich and aromatic, without being too dry or greasy. The pork & shrimp wontons came in a broth that was clean but still flavorful, not overly salty. They definitely use spices but the soup itself + the noodles earlier I wouldn't say are necessarily spicy (as someone who usually orders medium spice). There was only one person working in the kitchen but the food still came out in about 15 minutes so I'd say service was great! We ate at some high tables in the area near the other stores which may or may not have seats (we just stood lol). They also have a variety of drinks which I'll have to check out next time!!

Dan Dan Noodles and Xiaolongbao (Chicken & Pork)
Farah R.

San Wei is located in GCT, so it is convenient to pick up lunch when traveling on MNR, LIRR, or the subway. However, note that the food is made to order, so it can take quite a bit of time, and there are only standing tables. It can be loud, as it is in the station. If you are in a rush, this might not be for you. The quality of food is dependent on what you order, as the food can be bland without the very delicious chili oil. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and Xiaolongbao. The Dan Dan Noodle: The minced pork was flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. However, the broth leaves a lot to be desired, as it was very bland, which makes the noodles equally as bland. Even with the chili oil, it was bland. Xialongbao: The employees are very nice at answering questions. I was able to try both types of buns, chicken, and pork! The filling was delicious. Some may say the buns are thick, but with the chili oil is great!

I came by this place while browsing the Grand Central Terminal food court. I wanted soup since the weather was so cold and dreary. The portion size was great. It had great taste too. I recommend their noodles soup.

I ordered Pork Soup Dumplings and apparently should've specifically checked before walking away. What I got was neither pork, nor soup dumplings. Not particularly complicated, but extremely disappointing. I don't eat fish or seafood, but thankfully I'm not allergic, otherwise it would have been quite the eventful evening. I know one place I definitely will not be revisiting. I'd advise everyone else to carefully examine what they're given before running off for a train. Complete waste of money and massive disappointment.

San Wei popped up at the Grand Central dining concourse and was excited to give it a try--it's super convenient location! I ordered the pork and shrimp wontons in spicy sesame sauce. I wasn't expecting a soup/broth base. It was very mild, not spicy at all and I didn't really get any sesame flavor, which was a bit of a letdown. The wontons themselves were solid, just wished it was more spicy.. I also tried the Shanghai style noodles with chicken leg. The noodles were great! I love the chili oil it came with. Also, very mild... The chicken leg was unfortunately... bland. :( Overall, not bad at all. I'd go back to try other noodle options and definitely want to check out the pastrami sandwich next time.

Egg and tomato noodles
Kathryn W.

I don't know why the google reviews are much lower for this spot, but I loved my egg and tomato noodles here. The sauce was so flavorful and the noodles were the perfect amount of cooked. It really hit the spot for a quick lunch meal. I was able to order on the kiosk and get my lunch in under 10 minutes!

Melissa G.

They offer lots of refreshing drinks. I was excited to see this as a new option, downstairs at Grand Central. I have yet to try it, but it looks promising.

Short rib over rice bowl
Ann B.

Food does not match menu. I've eaten here a few times and today I don't know what they served me but the food was disappointing and disgusting. This is not what I'm usually served here. Soggy rice, not chicken teriyaki, and frozen overcooked broccoli. They should've paused items on their menu if it wasn't available.

Paris C.

FOOD TRASH SERVICE TRASH..... To sum it up Shit in a bowl . Save your money. I asked to order with someone instead of using the touch screen dude was rude said no I'm busy.

Dumplings, chongqing noodles, San Wei noodles, bento box with 2 entrees. And a sparking drink.

We ordered Xiao Long Bao, but it turned out to be regular bao instead. The dumpling soup was decent, but overall nothing really stood out.

Not enough staff and food is mediocre. Cuisine was needed in the area but not worth the frustration.

They gave excellent recommendations, checked in at all the right times without ever making us feel rushed, and brought such genuine, upbeat energy to the table. You can tell they truly care about making guests feel welcomed and taken care of. The food and atmosphere at Buddakan were already incredible, but Anja and Beau elevated the entire evening. If you're dining at Buddakan, ask for Anja and Beau if you can--you'll be in the best hands. Easily some of the best service I've had in New York. 10/10.

Anja and Beau were honestly the BEST servers! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left,…read morethey were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. They made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our entire visit, and their energy was amazing. They even surprised my boyfriend with a little birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. We appreciated it more than they probably realize, and it made his birthday feel extra special. Thank you, Anja and Beau, for making our experience so wonderful! You both deserve all the recognition, and we'll definitely remember the kindness you showed us. We'll definitely be back for them!

Chi Restaurant offers an extensive, authentic menu that's divided out by type of food - chicken,…read morebeef, pork, vegetable, etc. Everything is also labeled for dietary restrictions. Service is very fast and they kept the water flowing (spicy dishes really are spicy!), and the portions are huge. Though you have to pay extra for white rice ($3 a bowl), the overall value was reasonable for the main dishes. The restaurant is dark and elegant inside, with a large tv over the bar that was showing sports when we were there. It had a nice ambience.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with comfortable seating…read more Everyone was friendly and attentive. From the hostess to the bar and wait staff. However, as the night got busier, the lady sitting next to me didn't receive a menu till I have her mine. When I first entered the was a strange almost off putting smell. However once I was seated at the bar, the fragrant scent of cooking food quickly dispelled the smell. The food itself was quite tasty. Two of the dim sum were first for me (edamame dumpling and a seasoned rice shumai). They all had wonderful distinctive flavors. However I felt the prices were a little large and awkward to eat. The price seemed reasonable to me for the service, ambiance, and food. However I couldn't give them 4 stars because I just can't get behind paying for white rice with an entree at an Asian restaurant.
