Bos & Lucky Sunday

Used to love this place for Chinese noodle soup. My favorite was sliced roast pork and wonton with ramen noodle. Unfortunately this restaurant is now closed. Too bad. They really had a great selection of noodle soups.

Had the pork fried rice with boneless spare ribs
It was some of the best fried rive I’ve ever had! The ribs were real good and the rice tasted real fesh!
And had beef curry noodles. It was as good as I’ve ever had!
Would definitely come back, to see if the rest of their menu is just as good. :)

. mixed chinese and thai food

I have to try this place again for the Phở as part of the Great Noodle Search expedition. This is a decent bowl of noodles, if you have no options. However, Cha Pa’s and Saigon 48 are better and close by.
The broth is very average. They provide more noodles than most other places that tend to skimp out. However, the accoutrements are no good. The other reviews are right. You really need to ask specifically for extra basil or whatever. They give you literally exactly what you as for.
They are nice enough and quick on the service. I just feel that they are a bit mixed on what they are trying to achieve. I can’t give them all out 1 star, though they are pretty close.

Everything I’ve tried here is delicious and inexpensive for lunch in the area. They offer both a Chinese and Vietnamese menu. I highly recommend their Grilled Pork chops or Grilled Chicken (if you don’t want to deal with cutting around the bones). Service is fast as well.

the chinese and vietnamese phở were so bad, tons of msg and nothing authentic, i think they just throw everything in and invented their own dishes or something,

I got takeout (SeamlessWeb) and the food arrived promptly. The egg roll and summer rolls that I ordered were tasty. Nothing extraordinary but nothing bad either.

I loved Bos when they were on 56^th and 8^th, especially because they acceped credit card payments. Bos eventually moved to between 51^st and 52^nd on 8^th and merged with Zheng’s Lucky Sunday (Chinese) and PHO V858−8 (Vietnamese). Since they offer phở noodles I was excited because I did not have to go to Queens to get my fix. Bottom line, their food is great.
The reason why I am rating Bos with 1 star is because their delivery people are rude and racist. Sometimes when I order, I order only for myself and give 15% tip. To some, that might not be much but I think it is reasonable. (If I am at a restaurant, I usually give up 20% for tip.) But this is about supposed free delivery. The delivery man came and complained to me about the tip and asked me where I was from. I told him and he said «Yeah, I know where you’re from.» As I took the food and walked away, the delivery man told one of my friends that such and such people are cheap. He was referring to my nationality.
What kind of service is that?

Yup, I’ve had better.
This place is kind of slow and unaccomodating. Delivery takes forever, and it’s wayyy too greasy for my liking. Tried the eggplant in garlic sauce, and it could have kept a fire running all winter. Yes, generic Chinese food isn’t expected to be fantastic, but this was still sub-​par.
China Gourmet is right across the street, I think they win.

Just tried their Rice Noodle w. Beef Bowl Soup for the 1^st time and it’s superb!!! Gonna order again tomr!

It’s a true rarity in midtown to have the pleasures of Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine under one restaurant roof. These culinary combos are nothing new, but definitely not common in this part of town. The basic summary is this: Their take on Vietnamese is the worst I’ve ever had. Period. The Chinese food ranks right up there with the MSG ladden takeout joints all across New York.
Honestly, I just don’t know where to start with this place. The prices are okay for the area and the variety is vast. There is a certain distinction most Asian restaurants have to endure, which is whether or not their food caters to the Asian palate. They can win the popular vote with the unsavvy, but in the end word of mouth tends to keep the place afloat. They don’t cater to it, which is fine, but at least make the American version good enough to eat.
Their Phở Tai was the worst I’ve ever had in my life. It may sound harsh but it’s the only way I can describe it without having to think twice. The only other time I’ve had Phở equally as bad was at Saigon 48 (
), but this was possibly worse. There was little flavor in the broth and since the meat had already cooked in the soup, it was tough as an old stick of gum. The noodles were not traditional Vietnamese rice noodles, but a linguine-​like white egg noodle instead. Don’t even think about trying their Bun (Rice Vermacelli) dishes, all of them are overpriced and disgusting.
Don’t get me started on their Chinese food. From the American Chinese to the wannabe authentic stuff it was a train wreck from the start. Tofu /​rice /​meat dishes were all flavorless and the noodle soups were more sour than savory.
The Chinese portion of the menu actually looks like a carbon copy of Mee Noodle Shop (
). It goes without saying to avoid the Vietnamese section entirely. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I’m still confused by the name. Are they really lucky and who is Bos? It’s your unlucky day to dine or order from here.

They have PHO?! PHO SURE! Since I work in the area and crave some phở from time to time, I was on a mission to find such an establishment.
In comparison to other phở places in the city, I’d say PHOgettaboutit since the meat was skimpy and somehow overcooked (I know, weird, since the meat should be cooked by the soup and, therefore, pleasantly tender). The soup was surprisingly tasty/​hearty, and the noodles were plentiful and cooked correctly. Also, a bowl will cost you $ 7.75, which is more than what you would pay in Chinatown. A slightly annoying thing was that they only had western style, metal spoons to drink the soup. But all in all, a decent place for phở if you’re in the area.

I’ve ordered from many Chinese places in my time but this one is awesome. No joke everything was delicious and yummy and the prices were more than reasonable. The sesame tofu is a must and I designed my own dish. The brown rice is so grainy it oozes health and the sesame noodles were light and delicious.
Try it you will be back for more.

Perfectly adequate take-​out Chinese for a midtown lunch. Also: massive portions for tiny budgets! You don’t usually see a lunch special that offers fried rice as your rice side – it’s almost like getting two entrees in one. If you’re REALLY hankering for Chinese in the area, I’d have to recommend Szechuan Gourmet on W. 56^th… but Bo’s is PRETTY ALL RIGHT!

This place is great for the midtown west area. The food is great and the prices are pretty darn low.
They also have a great bowl of Phở as well.
They are pretty darn fast with their takeout and they have the best takeout tupperware of any place in the city that i’ve ordered from.
They is our weekly takeout joint.

Sure, laugh all you want at the name but for midtown Seamless fare, this can’t be beat. Bos? Lucky Sunday? Let me tell you.
I’ve never gone in person, and have only ordered the Chinese menu, but 1) when your nightly dinner budget gets cut to $ 20 and 2) the days when we are too lazy to venture outside for lunch (I prefer the word «busy», e.g. too busy to deal with the rain/​snow/​what have you not) AND feeling somewhat «healthy» (e.g. no KFC, McD’s, Chipotle, Qdoba etc.), Bos & Lucky Sunday is all yours.
I usually get the «design your own» meal, where you get your choice of 4 veggie options (broccoli, string beans, snow peas, tofu and the like), protein steam or sauteed with a selection of sauces and rice. Um I think that’s it. I highly recommend getting your selection steamed, with the chicken — yes, it is strangely flat, pale but who would have thought steamed chicken could have such flavor? Plus for 9 bucks or so it is WAY too much to eat for one meal, for one… and I’ve been told I can pack it away. So lots of bang for your buck, yay.
Delivery is speedy and tidy. Oh, and the best part is their fortune cookies. I don’t know where they get them from, but I swear they have the best messages. Ever. Like mine tonight for instance — «A lifetime of happiness lies ahead of you». The Learn Chinese side — chinese character ‘zui’, meaning «drunk, tipsy».

Before reading this review … keep in mind that this is entirely in reference to the «vietnamese» cuisine that they offere here.
now that the disclaimer is out of the way, gather round, daddy’s gonna tell you a little story.
On the eve of my first night in my new apartment in manhattan, my fiancé and i had a menu tossed under our door. we thought it seemed heaven sent that we get a vietnamese restaurant’s menu under our door as that happens to be our favorite … so we selected a few things from the large menu … not stopping to think why nothing was actually written in vietnamese as far as the name of individual dishes goes. deciding that it was simply a matter of demographic that had them put down things in only chinese and english, we proceeded with our order. upon the arrival of our order, we were completely ravenous and tore open everything … only to find it was nothing but dressed up chinese food with more grease, sugar, syrup crap than i’ve ever encountered. last time i was in vietnam, pretty much everyone was skinny as shit, and i’m pretty sure none of them got that way eating this stuff. not only did it smell terrible, was just ungodly in taste, and made me want to throw up … it was almost offensive to my intelligence that they labeled this as vietnamese food … and my fiancé (who is from the damn country) was kinda offended that they called it vietnamese food … bottom line … if you want chinese food with a different name … order some of this joint’s «vietnamese» offerings … otherwise … stick to the maybe two places in chinatown if you’re looking for vietnamese in manhattan … i usually have colorful things to say … but this place was just absolutely terrible and an utter joke
DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR VIETNAMESE FOOD … GO ELSEWHERE
the angry panda is not pleased…

The food is your standard Chinese fare… with a twist. The twist is they also have Vietnamese food, such classic dishes as Phở, Vietnamese noodles, and Pad Thai.
Wait a minute… Pad Thai?
Yup. Behind its mask of authenticity it’s that generic.
So I ordered the following for delivery: Tofu and vegetable dinner special with a spring roll, seafood Phở.
Food came in 10 minutes. Lovely. First I tried the egg roll. A bit flavorless but fresh. Very fresh. So far so good.
Next, the Phở. Wait a minute it tastes just like the noodle soups from Mee noodle. Except less seafood. Maybe I should have gotten the beef.
Next, the tofu vegetables. They’re OK. Everything’s a bit low sodium.
So sounds like your typical 3-​star Asian but… it’s overpriced. The same soup costs about $ 7 at Mee Noodle — $ 10 here. I’m perfectly happy and comfortable with generic Asian comfort food, but if I can get better, cheaper 2 blocks away I’m just going to do that.
