My three favorite things are the Teriyaki Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, and Sesame Chicken (Not your average Sesame Chicken. Sweet and Spicy. Red sauce. Love it!)

Great venue with proximity to penn station. A wide variety of ready made options- including entres, desserts, breakfast options, etc. Good for those desiring a quick bite.

Bagel with salmon cream cheese for under $3?! Sold! And its delicious too! Tons of options for great prices (considering you're in NYC)

Place looks and smells clean and organized. They have pizza, Japanese food, burgers, a juice bar and the buffet.

A great buffet style place around Herald Square/Penn Station. Paninis are very solid.

The salad bar looks a little sad lately. Go to the back of the cafe for the Japanese big bowl soups. $6 vegetable udon!!

Really like their salad bar. Always fresh selection of fresh fruits and lots of variety at the hot bar.

The sushi bar is really great and reasonably priced. Try the tuna avacado with wild rice. Delish.

Bistro is a great value and quality for pastas, salads, and sandwiches. Buffet is OK. I'm puzzled by amount of negative reviews.

Always stop here before heading to the Javits Center for snacks or a salad.

The Chicken Teriyaki in the back is really good. And they make it right in front of you.

Head to the back for the bibimbap, ramen and udon - warm, delicious and filling.

I think a lot of these tips are when it was cafe Milano. I love their food.

Salad mix offers variety at competitive prices to other places. Cut fruit is fresh, but a little overpriced. The Japanese cook always seems to be finished by the time I get there.

The chicken Parm panini is awesome! Like amazing.

AVOID!! Tried 2 charge me $3 for a bottle of tea, $2.50 for oj. $6 for ham and cheese sandwich. They cost about half of that anywhere else. No other way around it than to avoid. Never going back!

Pre-packaged goods (e.g. Sodas, yogurts, etc.) are wildly overpriced (and unmarked). Buy elsewhere. Smell emanating onto 34th street is nauseating. If you go inside your clothes will smell for the day

Lox cream cheese bagel for under $2!

50 cent for 1 ketchup pack... enough said

this place is over priced for sure! unbelievable

The cashier was so rude. She didn't want to give an extra fork just because I didn't ask for it BEFORE I bought the fucking food! Retarded.
AlexAugust 15, 2010
Place smells like absolute shit. Everything is over priced, even for 34th street. Salad bar food rarely gets replaced; I've seen the same macaroni and cheese out from noon until 8pm. Avoid.

things were cold when they shouldn't have been...kinda not worth the money.

Buffet gave me food poisoning. Avoid tuna.

Very bad service: one employee was pretty rude when I asked him about ingredients of the dishes they serve. It's not very respectful for customs with food allergies. :(

A pocos metros del cruce de la 8 con la 34, te encuentras este sitio para desayunar o comer en modo buffet, con buena presentación, cantidad y servicio. Algunos dependientes también hablan español

Bom para uma comida rápida e barata, semelhante ao 'Essen. Opção de buffet a quilo de comida chinesa, salada, sanduíches e frutas. Possui uma ilha de sucos frescos com até 3 ingredientes a escolher.
Karol GazoniDecember 19, 2014
O buffet é bem servido para almoço de segunda a sexta. Nos finais de semana, reduzem a quantidade de opções, mas ainda dá para ter um almoço decente.
Marcelo UriarteFebruary 3, 2013
De dia é bem variado. À noite não há buffet de saladas e as comidas quentes não tem a mesma qualidade das servidas de dia.
Rodrigo GarridoAugust 17, 2014
Excelente opção de café da manha saudavel
