Chinese Restaurant · Rockefeller Center · 40 tips and reviews
Sebastien Kuo: Get anything with szechuan peppercorns, e.g. mapo tofu
Lori Luo: Stick to the Sichuan specialities, like the Ma Po Tofu, Braised Beef with Napa, and Twice Cooked Pork Belly. Prices skew on the higher end for Chinese, so come prepared.
Lori Luo: Slightly pricey Chinese food in the Rockefeller area. The Sichuan dishes are the best on the menu, so be sure to try the Braised Beef with Napa, the Dan Dan noodles, and the Ma Po Tofu.

Linds: Great midtown lunch option, line goes quickly. Even with the line snaked almost out the door, the wait to receive my order was only 11 min. Loved the tofu w the chipotle mayo on the side.
Brandon Cobb: All about the salmon with raita...pairs nicely with beet quinoa side and for my post-workout, roasted sweet potatoes.
Tara Dîana: My favorite paleo lunch spot. I typically get the chicken with broccoli and the curried cauliflower!

Lisa Stefani: Try the tofu teriyaki...;)
Cheapeats Inc: Quick teriyaki (salmon,chicken,beef or tofu) fresh never frozen. Brown rice or white. Plus so much more. Healthy & tasty. My usual is salmon or beef and I'm not a red meat lover.
David Benjamin: Great portions for the price and it's always on point. One of my regular go to spots for lunch.

Sahil Chokshi: One of the best Pad Thai Tofu and Spring rolls I've had.

Katsu Goto: The best Chinese restaurant in Midtown East. Ma po tofu and spicy fried chicken are my favorites.
Monday Lisa: Not bad if you’re looking for Szechuan in the neighborhood - I’ve had the mapo tofu multiple times and it hits the spot
Auri Ghatak: Try something different and authentic here, you won't regret it. I recommend the fish and pickled cabbage soup, diced lotus root in black bean sauce, cumin lamb and the chongqing chicken

Tonkatsu Restaurant · Midtown East · 121 tips and reviews
Jenny Ung: Berkshire pork comes with a huge piece of fat. Regular combo pork loin is better. I like to get the Oroshi special, comes with radish and ponzu for dipping. If you're a vegetarian, ask for tofu curry!
Puu Kampolratana: Try Age dashi tofu! It will change your perspective about the tofu forever. So yummy. The kurobuta katsu was just perfect. We all know they're famous for it.
Colin Lee: The week day special lunch box has a good variety of food (includes sashimi); the chicken curry katsu was juicy and delicious
