We say…

China Grill restaurant, set in the CBS television corporation’s midtown Manhattan headquarters, attracts the sort of hip, hot, high-flying crowd that other restaurants would kill for. The bar is always heaving with an after-work crew, which makes the buzz here more of a roar. And the tables generally attract groups of more than two, simply because of the oversized portions designed with sharing in mind. The backlit pillars, French bistro-style wicker chairs, concert-hall height ceilings and marble inscriptions all combine into a thrilling ensemble. The menu is Eastern fusion and the portions, we repeat, are seriously large. Share starter of tempura sashimi with hot mustard champagne sauce, main course of Shanghai lobster with ginger, curry and crispy spinach, and the amazing banana boat dessert.Booking Tip: Please try to make your New York booking at least 48 hours in advance.

China Grill 60 W. 53rd St.(bet. 5th & 6th Aves.), Manhattan, New York, 10019 Large and busy restaurant with very good and friendly service and atmosphere. the food is good with some of courses very good (we tried the set menu of various recommended/most popular courses), the entrees were especially good. Not cheap but there was plenty of food of good quality (couldn't manage the dessert).
