I found 2 pieces of glass in my lunch from this place, and I reported them to DOH for it. It’s a shame because the food tastes great, but not at the risk of my intestines getting shredded.

Just tried the after 2:15 special for the first time.
I went around the buffet, picking up very, very tiny portions of everything that looked good. Just a bite or two per item.
Total bill was about $1.50. Then I sampled my collection of nibblers, went back to the buffet a second time, and this time focused like a laser on only the good stuff. Second bill was just over $3.
Total poundage: 1.2
Total cost: $4.50
Total amount of food (and $$) wasted due to items I didn’t like: pennies.

the sign on this place has changed to “Sun Yip” – I hope that doesn’t mean the end of the late lunch buffet…

[...] For those who can wait until after 2pm there are definitely lunch deals to be found from places who need to move their product before they close. A few weeks ago I wrote about Ho Yip, the cheap Chinese buffet that drops their price to $3.75/lb after 2:15pm. This week… it’s Cucina & Co., with locations in Rock Center and the Met Life Bldg. Thanks to “The Girl Who Ate Everything” for passing along this Midtown Lunch deal… [...]

[...] Hing Won. 48th btw. 5+6th. The scored a ripe 48 in February. They’ve since got it down to a 23. I actually know people who have seen the “flying insects” in this place… but it’s cheap Chinese food people. In Midtown. It sort of comes with the territory. Ho Yip, which I wrote about last week got an 18- but a commenter found a piece of metal in his food once… so the truth is, you really can’t win. [...]

I too enjoyed the great lunch deal a few times, that is, until i found a small piece of metal inside the orange chicken. No joke. So just a fair warning to those that try this place. I never went back.

but it is great food normally. It’s proof that you can do food in NY without breaking the bank. There are a lot of people who tell me that I can’t eat cheaply when I go home to visit. I tell them they just have to know where to look.
