Café Hestia

create your own pasta is the best deal in the house and possibly one of the best lunch deals in the area (almost 2 days of lunch for 7.50!)

Place is absolutely terrible. I have to beg the sandwich guy, who thinks he is too good to put sauce on sandwiches . Ask for hot sauce ; he points at the register. Which gives chinese take out sauce.

beef bibimbap with free miso soup for $8 is one of the best deals in midtown east

get the pesto pasta with grilled chicken , mushrooms , zucchini , another topping and mozzarella on it! So good!

I love the buffet . It's fresh. You don't have to wait in long lines .

Obsessed with the yakiudon with shrimp for lunch ! Tastes better without having it made spicy . Extra scallionnn pleaseeeee

Daily sandwich specials are always reliable and the udon is pretty good. Good variety and decent prices. Read more

Salad bar is good-everything looks fresh. Upstairs seating can be nuts at lunchtime but usually can find spot.

They have nice Japanese food choice compared to other cafe or deli or food market

great udon ! Try the spicy seasoning for an extra kick!

Juices are pretty good and reasonably priced but they stop making 'em around noon and not at all on weekends.

Just discovered Cafe Hestia's $6.95 create-your-own pastas . Great #midtown #lunch find!

Go for the Italiano panini and a diet coke . Solid lunchtime combo.

50% off their sushi items after 5:00pm!

Hot breakfast is great and delicious!

They have good teriyakis and their bulgogi is awesome

Chat it up with the gentleman behind the counter. He's super friendly !

If you come here often enough, you don't even have to say your order, they will know & start working on it.

Protein smoothies for 5 bucks are a bargain for the area.

Their bi bim bap w beef is the greatest thing ever!!

Juice station is closed on weekends. Because commuters are more important than residents, apparently.

Get the sushi with free miso soup ! Gotta ask for the soup though!

Starting at 6.95 - create your own pasta . Skip the sushi , nothing special. Prices are on par with mid town and small wasabi portion.

Great food for a great price!

Good Tex Mex sandwich . Petite Chinese girl is friendly .

Salad bar is very good in this area!

Got sick off of the pancakes here. Violently.

The fried chicken is delicious!

Quality is getting worse by the day. I'm afraid this has been my last visit.

Sandwiches aren't bad.

Ramen is great

Bimbibop. Super awesome!!

Rude f-n' cooks at the grill...but the price is soo right.

The cooks are rude as hell and beware the prices change from day to day smh

Terrible service. Cook didn't even wash his hands after playing with his cell phone - don't waste your time.

Good César salad
