Theodore KimNovember 16, 2014Head straight to the grill in the back to find some of the only Korean food served in the Theater District. Bibimbap, udon, bulgogi. What a Midtown surprise.
Jose Antonio Lopez ArquelladasJanuary 12, 2012If you want to eat something healty, this is my favorite "Deli" kind place in NYC. Variety, hot, just coked and really good eat!. Good price and you have a lot of choices. My favorite: Grill Salmon!!
Lia Christila UOctober 7, 2011excellent for lunch..they have almost everything..western..asian..you name it..loved the hot soup,brown rice sushi and bento. Affordable.
Love the udon! Quick and delicious and many options. Also a decent cheesesteak sandwich. Beware of the toy section. It's addictive. Haha
Overwhelming but they have every grocery item, snacks, drinks, sandwiches and sushi. Chicken parm melt was very good
Michael ShibaOctober 23, 2015Great place to get sundubu (tofu soup) during work. The other options in the area are terrible.
Angie AldanaMay 26, 2018So many lunch choices! My favorite is the Spicy Bulgogi from the Korean section!
Good sushi, good udon, GREAT turkey burgers, pretty spectacular hot food buffet and very fresh salads. The lines look long, but you won't wait for more than a few seconds.
Greg B.November 30, 2010The cheap burger deluxe, pizza, good buffet, and sushis. All in 10 mins even at busiest times of the day. Hit the buffet at 11h30, the food is here and the crowd is not!
Oyvind SolstadMarch 6, 2011Wide selection of healthy foods. Supermarket and Cafe in one. Fresh juices, smoothies, fruits, cakes, coffee. Recommended! Also webstore for home delivery.
Very reliable midtown lunch locale with basically every food you can imagine. By no means should I besmirch its name. However, come for either late lunch or early lunch. Way too crowded from 12 to 115
Chicken salad sandwich on a roll with lettuce and tomatoes, and just a bit of hot sause. I get this sandwich every single time.
Dee PhunkSeptember 29, 2011This is a deli on steroids. It's almost scary. There's absolutely nothing you can't find here. Crazy busy during the lunch rush on weekdays so if you're not into crowds, wait til after 3pm.
Grace S.November 5, 2011Favorite deli-style spicy veggie udon! Get extra zucchini, scallions, mushrooms, dried tofu, and seaweed.
BluePrintFebruary 23, 2012You will never tire of Cafe Duke's delicious and gourmet food options! Need help deciding? Grab BluePrintJuice!
Gianpiero PuleoOctober 24, 2015I don't know how people can say this is the best korean food in the neighborhood... If it's true, just change neighborhood: it's completely tasteless.
New York Guest Tourism ServicesMay 21, 2010Excellent for a quick non-fast food lunch. Look for vegetable ramen bowl. Lots of food for under $7. They deliver too (via seamlessweb.com)
Buffalo chicken melt on wheat with avocado from the wood stone oven. Nom nom nom!!!
InkasDecember 22, 2011The create your own pasta dish station is great! Don't pick too much otherwise it'll weigh it down and cost you :)
Your standard workday lunch buffet but good selection and open at night too. Korean soft tofu soup is great on those 20-deg winter days.
TraciFebruary 21, 2011While this place has everything, there are cheaper and friendlier places in Midtown that won't nickel and dime you!
Try the Sushi & Stuff - Impressed with their international variety.
Arun NandiMarch 14, 2013Watch out for old food.. Tried quite a few things in the salad bar, some of it tasted really wrong
A lot of good choices for food, but watch out when paying, they almost always overcharge me/don't give the correct change, and their receipts aren't itemized.
great selection, decent prices. perfect fast-food alternative.
In and out in 5 mins with some pretty decent food. Even during the most busiest lunch hour.
They make your food quickly. Then they take your money quickly. I've never waited more than 30 seconds to pay for food even with 10 people in front of me in line.
