Try to come before noon or after 130ish...or else it's a zoo in here. My go to place when I don't mind spending $12 on lunch . Great selection of cold and hot dishes and there's a chopped salad station
Expensive but worth every penny. Fresh ingredients and great variety. On Fridays you can get reasonably priced sushi rolls but go early as it sells out quickly!
I love how creative they are with their cuisines, which changes almost daily. Nothing is overly-greasy/-watery. Compared to other small NYC buffets , they flavor everything *really* well .
What none of the photos show you is the CROWD. Best to avoid between 12:00 and 2:00 if you can, but even if timing's not on your side, it's often worth braving the mosh pit of a check out line .
This place is insane during lunchtime, but there’s no better place to go for a salad – totally customizable and we recommend you add the Ancho Roasted Salmon .
The food is very good and the prices are very convenient
Great food selections, but chaotic during lunch hrs. Traffic flow can be improved throughout the space for a more pleasant and efficient lunching experience.
Coconut chicken fingers . Fill your box with them. Don't forget the sauce. This is a fancier slop bucket place.
If you're looking for something light & delicious for lunch that won't weight you down and make you fall asleep after, try the Vietnamese Chicken Bahn Mi .
Like all those other midtown lunch buffet spots, but actually good.
Friday is sushi day! Good news for this generally pricey pay-per-pound buffet , too, because sushi is light ;)
Get here early(before noon) to beat the crowd and grab a seat. The food is delicious.
Good lunch options. A bit expensive though. Chia seed pudding is good.
Everything from the salad bar was great. Personal fave was the coconut chicken . The hummus was bad. No WIFI .
I would go a little before noon for lunch , since it gets pretty busy and hectic.
One of the best lunch options in mod town !!the Moroccan fish is divine!
yummy gourmet lunch buffet but long lines so get there before 12
One of the best lunch spots in the city
Excellent alternative to your hotel breakfast . The kids loved it. Fresh and clean .
This popular NYC cafe is a lunchtime staple. Try the Mulligatawny soup , a Tamil recipe with curry and other delicious spices.
Everyone here gets so angry and defensive about their food. Be prepared to get smacked out of the buffet line and judged for eating carbs.
If you have a 20-minute break before your next show, drop in here for a snack . The smoothies are excellent, and you can add in energy boosts.
Coconut crusted chicken , Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes !
The Columbian coffee is strong. I've been spinning around in my chair for like two hours.
Grilled chicken and Bulgarian feta sandwich always hits the spot.
great for lunch during the week. some of the best prepared foods around.
Get the turkey avacado sandwich but instead of a Jerusalem bagel get it on ciabatta
Food's pretty good but make no mistake, there's nothing moderately cheap about this place. $6.95 for a 1/2 pound of food? A small piece of chicken will go over that in a second! Be warned.
If it's Friday, get the mac & cheese . You can thank me later.
Best soup in midtown!
Love the food, hate the constant state of pandemonium at lunchtime.
For breakfast the sausage eggwhite wrap heated up on the panini grill cannot be beat
The food is pretty good...IF you can suffer through the crazy long lines
Loved the strawberry donut
Great food but OUTRAGEOUSLY priced. You can find the same thing else where for half the price at the same quality.
Delicious food, go try it!
Crowded as all hell, but great lunch selection.
The organic black currant lemonade will knock your socks off.
Their cold salads are worth the lines
The pumpkin corn soup will change your life. FOREVER.
Rolling Friday's for lunch A must...
Try the coconut chicken fingers , they're to die for!
Always avoid Dishes between 12pm-2pm... Rock Concert level of crowded ... Otherwise it's awesome...
Great sushi on Fridays!
Watch out for that green juicery drank... I still don't know how much I paid but I think it was $8
It's 9:30 in the morning and the lack if breakfast food (including any bagels at all) is sad
Best Kenyan coffee and ask barista for cinnamon . Makes it special
Get the Brazilian Chicken Salad--so flavorful and filling!
The fresh corn salad with feta is incredible!
really expensive . but tasty.
From the cocktails to the beer to the food and the atmosphere everything is perfect for my taste the bar tender mariah is great. - Divy Tolia
Fig & prosciutto flatbread & mushroom fregola pasta are musts! - Christianna Giordano
The Moroccan bowl is pretty good. Top it with some Sriracha to give it a bit of kick. The veggies are delicious. Don't pass on them. - Amadeo Plaza
Beautiful respite from a New York day. Plenty of seating, free table tennis, and nearby vendors. - John Gardiner IV
Nice little coffee place in midtown. Friendly staff and tasty coffee, a much better alternative to the Starbucks saturated neighborhood. - Paddy
Very good location, only bookstore in the area. Very big, with a cafe inside (upstairs). Staff is very kind and helpful. - Murat
