Wei West at Friedman's is either a hit or miss. Today the Bento Box Special was a delicious hit! The General TSO chicken was fresh and the dumplings were moist and plump. read more

Very good portions for the price especially if you are hungry. I have tried the pad thai and beef chow fun here. I recommend the beef chow fun (it is kind of oily but very tasty). Dishes are about $20 with tax. read more

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. read more

Was very disappointed in quality of food from last time I ordered delivery. The wonton soup had only 3 wontons in a quart of broth. The tangerine beef was soggy not crispy as stated. Ownership must have changed read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Really good. I have a bad cold and was craving soup. Had the shrimp and pork dumplings with bok choy soup and Chicken Pad Thai and both were exceptionally good. Fast delivery. read more

Nice place to stop by to grab food near Battery Park. The price is pretty fair and I like their noodles and dessert. My friends and I have been to this place a couple of times and we ordered sushi, Thai noodles and they are all pretty good. The outdoor seating is as nice as the indoor. read more

On Friday, I ordered the chicken fried rice, the Chow Fun, the Lo Mein, and the pork-chive dumplings. The food was delicious and the portions were big. My family and I were able to eat a little bit of everything and were really satisfied! I wish the Lo Mein had more chicken though. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Delivery was fast food was OK fairly bland. I have the sautéed string beans which were fresh but bland and the wok spicy shrimp I don't know what was spicy about it. read more

They deserve a solid rating for their gluten-free options. Other places usually have only one or two dishes, but they had a lot of choices for different diets. I tried the crispy tuna rice and the gluten-free pad thai; both were prepared relatively quickly and tasted great, with just the right amount of flavor to highlight the quality ingredients. I recommend and would try again. read more

Tasty asian food here, along with the great service. Usually dine at the bar side, with some sake and sushi. I like their maki rolls and the Pad Thai! My favorite is the shrimp pad thai. They also serve gluten free dishes. Definitely stop by here and try it if you're into asian cuisine. Not super huge or fancy restaurant, but clean and neat. I would say it's a kind of a hidden gem in this busy block. read more

5 stars for having a gluten free menu. The sesame chicken was better then the general tsao chicken. Lili loo on the upper west side makes a way better tasting gluten free general tsao, if that's what your looking for. I still have to try other gluten free dishes. But so far my favorite gluten free is the sesame chicken! I'll def return to try more! read more

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. read more

I really liked this place! We (a group of 6 people) were looking for a place to eat yesterday (Christmas Day) and this was the only one open around the area. We had previously checked the reviews and we're a bit scared but we were all so hungry that we decided to give it a try. Boy we're glad we did! We did not make a reservation but they were able to accommodate us even though the restaurant was full. The service was really good, the server was very pleasant, and everything came out quickly. The best part was the food. We all ordered different dishes and everything was delicious! The portions were generous, so much that I had left overs for lunch today. Everyone was satisfied about this place so we will probably come back! read more

This was my go-to spot, but it closed and recently reopened with no gluten free menu. The old menu was full of gluten free options, but they have all but disappeared. Too bad...I'll be going elsewhere. read more

I don't know why they are not rated better but I had a great experience with them. I walked up and got seated immediately. I asked the chef what he recommended. He gave me a few ideas. He said the fish was very fresh. I got my menu and saw there was no combination or anything mixed. So I asked for a rainbow roll. It wasn't on the menu but the chef said OK. He made me a wonderful rainbow roll. Nothing fancy, just 3 different fish. Yellow tail, salmon and tuna. It was perfect. The fish was very fresh. I finished it off in 2 mins and was ready for more. I ordered the Spicy Tuna roll. A nice little dessert roll. It was also good. I could have had a few more roll but that probably would have been too much food. Anyway this place is good. Other than a small language issue, everything else was very nice. They were accommodating and the service was good. I recommend Wei for sushi by the WTC. On the back side of the Conrad in the cut through. read more

Gluten-free Chinese food is so hard to come by. When I lived uptown I would frequent Lili & Loo's but due to COVID-19 (temporarily closed) and then moving downtown, it's no longer an option. I had the gluten-free sesame chicken and the gluten-free summer rolls, which were both delicious. Currently ordering more take out as I type (which is what reminded me to leave a review)!. read more

Please avoid this place... BAD SERVICE!!! The food was great but the service was poor. I would not eat there again. After seated the waitress/server rushed us on taking our order. She never took out drink order or checked on us after our food was brought out. I watched her check on and clean other tables as we sat there eating. When we finished our meal another waitress came to clear our table and asked if we needed anything else. Our original server returned to give us the bill and to see if we wanted dessert. We were ready to leave because of the poor service. I would never return. read more

I ordered delivery from this restaurant for the first time and the food absolutely fabulous. I ordered two steamed chicken w vegetables/ brown sauce and garlic sauce on the side. I cannot remember the last time I have had such terrific Chinese food that was filled with tons of such healthy light chicken. Definitely found a delivery gem read more

I already had low expectations for a pan-Asian restaurant in this area but they managed to disappoint anyway. Let's start with some positive points. The staff are friendly and professional, the space is clean and well lit and they seem to use good ingredients. Unfortunately some of the food is nearly inedible. The General Tso's chicken is disgustingly sweet. The sauce was also disconcertingly thick. At their price points (even calibrating for the area) the quality of the food is unacceptable. If anything, I think their menu prices are calibrated for corporate seamless account allowances, so think twice before you spend your own money here. read more

Gluten-free American-style Chinese food is hard to find so I was glad to find this place. The gluten-free dishes here are reasonably priced and taste just like my favorite gluten-filled Chinese dishes. I'm grateful that I didn't have to spend an arm and a leg to get some decent tasting food. I also haven't had any reactions after eating here so the food here is pretty safe (for me at least). read more

I tried their veg pad thai that was part of their lunch special. It came with salad or soup and I took the salad. The portion size is good and with salad in addition, it's quite a lot that i had to make it to-go. We reached around 12 and it was super busy. So make sure you plan better if yoh dont want to wait and want a good table. We had to sit by the sushi counter where they stacked the plates. I didnt like my spot and the service wasnt great and of the reasons could also be our seating spot, so thats why 1 star less. read more

Love their Singapore Noodles and beef/string beans. Great staff. Relaxing local spot.

The food was delicious. Easy to order for takeout as we were guests at the Conrad. Will definitely dine there again.

Overall: Good sushi, but kinda pricey. I'm usually concerned when Asian restaurants sell all different types of cuisines. Can't speak for any of the other dishes, but the sushi was good quality. Got the sushi lunch which comes with a side (chose miso soup), 6 pieces of sashimi, and 5 pieces California roll. Came out to about $17 which was expensive for the amount of food that I got, but it was good quality sushi. I've never seen a California roll with such a high ratio of filling to rice, so I was impressed with that. They forgot the side of fried rice with our order but didn't seem to understand what the problem was until we spent like 5 min explaining so that was mildly annoying. read more

Wei West - Half eaten sushi lunch. Comes with 6 pieces sashimi and a California roll. ~$17 - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

My boyfriend, friend, and I came here for lunch. I ordered a salmon roll and an egg roll. My boyfriend ordered a king crab taco and my friend ordered a general tso's chicken. We gave this place 5 stars because the service was great and quality of the food was great too. The only downside was that the food was pricey. Normally, we would take away a star for the prices. However, the prices we saw were expected because the restaurant is located in the Financial District, so we weren't surprised. Therefore, we stuck w giving a full 5-stars. (The photos shown have food that has already been eaten because I totally almost forgot to take photos before we ate LOL) read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in New York City! Their food is out of this world! The sushi is really delicious and fresh and their lo mein is the best I've found in NYC! The staff is kind, patient, and very quick. The portions are large and prices are fair. I highly recommend Wei West next time you have a craving for Asian food! read more

F*CK YOU ALL! I order the duck wonton soup as per my ushe and when I get it in my office: no duck, no wontons. They gave me broth with onion, peapods and mushrooms. I call them to let them know and they were like, sorry, we will send you the right order just give the delivery the wrong one. I am like, ok, cool, thanks. Mistakes happen. I get a call 5 minutes later from the restaurant. A man calling says, I spoke to my chef and he says he put the duck and the wontons in the soup. I say, okay, well, he didn't because i have the soup here. He asks if I am sure. BRO WTF! I order from you all the time. Never again. read more

Wei West was my go-to Chinese and sushi restaurant. I ordered from here at least once a week for the last 5 years. The new menu from Friedmans removed some of my favorites and the new chef just isn't the same. Food is greasy and less taste. Please bring back the Thai Crunch Salad!! I miss the old Wei West! read more

When this place was really Wei West and not going by the new name Friedman's it was amazing!! Our go to place for tasty Chinese and great sushi! Best delivery service at the time too. After a renovation and temporary closure they have reopened and we couldn't be more disappointed!! The sushi we ordered was less than mediocre - tasting more like a bad street vendor had put it together than the tasty, wholesome sushi we used to get. The sesame chicken was tasteless as was our lomein. Nothing about this "new" place is appealing. Even the decor and ambience are "off!" We couldn't wait for them to reopen but now super disappointed that they made any changes. Will be going elsewhere. PS - the delivery times used to be quick and efficient. Our first (and last) order from them (the new place)took over an hour. read more

Order out, never dine, The white meat chicken deserves a 9 For Wei West makes the taste baste on your tongue, as their take on take out is like none before. Egg roll freshness pops with sauce dripping through the salted delight Though the watered soup is just alright. Fair portions and price make for a nice rice night Quality stones build the best houses and these Chinese interpretations are mansions. Sesame seasoning is enough reasoning on it's own with flavor that shares a space in my heart from now on. read more

DO NOT BOOK A LARGE PARTY I confirmed my reservation over the phone, they told me to not be more than 5 minutes late so we came 10 minutes early. When we arrived said they didn't have reservation then they changed their mind saying a table is getting up and then said the party is too big. Would not advise making a reservation here as they don't keep note of it. Luckily Parm across the street was able to accommodate a large party. read more

Our favorite Chinese delivery, China Chalet, is closed down so we are in search of a good neighborhood Chinese delivery place. THIS ISN'T IT! Portions are small, prices are high and dishes are sub par. Classic Egg Roll is really a Spring Roll, Chicken w/eggplant at $17.95 had lots of unnecessary peppers filler. Beef w/shiitake mushroom & scallions at $17.95 was chewy. Young Chow Fried Rice at $16 had 4 small shrimp. Scallion Pancakes were ok. Very disappointed. Won't be ordering from them again. read more
