If ur in a hurry, Sakagura's lil' shop "Kiosku"-on lobby level-sells their signature bentos & bowls 4 less: Griulled Black Cod Bento, Vegetable Medley Beef Curry, Trio Inari bento, to name a few...
My other fave: Soba seaweed salad has 4 different types of seaweed, tomatoes, & a yummy soy-sesame yogurt dressing. ;9
Reigns supreme in midtown E area for made-to-order pastas TO-GO. Price point is fair considering all pastas are freshly house-made. Lasagna is seriously da bomb. Delish! :9
Fantastic made-to-order pastas, pizzas, salads, sandwiches & soups. Love their arancini, lasagna, & bolognese sauce w/ any of their fresh house-made pastas! ;9
Guac too runny for my taste, chips are out of a bag, & quesadillas are ok. But the Carnitas taco (w/ the Salsa verde) is this hole-in-the-wall's shining star! Not cheap for a to-go only kiosk.
$7.50 Crispy Salt & Pepper Chicken w/ braised pork rice, string beans, pickled veggies, & tea egg (+ free black or green iced tea) was a cheap & delish Taiwanese meal.
Crispy and flavorful on the outside and incredibly succulent and juicy inside - perfectly done. One of the best things to order inside Urbanspace.
The famous original is famous for a reason - it's delicious! A large pie is enough to share between 2 people.
Order curry fish balls w/ rice rolls in Cantonese: "kar-le-yiu-dan-cheong!" And ask for all the sauces. Cart lady's boy is sometimes there & speaks English. Add a 50¢ tea egg. My fave cart in C-town!
Scrumptious sauerkraut & potato + cheese fried Slovakian perogies w/ served w/ choice toppings: caramelized onions or marinated mushrooms. Don't forget the sour cream & a smear of mustard. 😋
Been meaning to come to this hole-in-the-wall takeout for Fishballs & vast assortment of Steamed Rice Rolls - esp the Dried Shrimp "Cheong Fun"- but can't ever make it in time before 3:30pm close!
They forgot the extra curry sauce...otherwise, best dry curry fish balls (4 for $1) in a cup to-go! Will try their famous steamed rice rolls next time!
Of the few bahn mi I've had this was the best - perfectly roasted pork, mostly lean but charred fatty ends packed w flavor. The marinade, chili mayo, and sriracha coupled to make the perfect dressing.
Amazing fast fresh food. Pho is the best around and the tea is fab. I had to take some of the food home, which I normally don't do with pho. Pork ribs look amazing
One of the best fast food Indian in the city. Do order chicken tikka, black lentils and paneer tikka. The food is fresh and served hot. They have the option of biryani, dosa, fiesta and salad.
Get the "Feast" which is a main w/ 4 sides for $9.87 and easily makes 2 full meals (maybe even 3 if you're not a big eater).
Fresh, flavorful, spicy, and filling Indian food served in a Chipotle-style construction line. Don't miss the Pulled Pork Vinadaloo Biryani. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below. Read more.
Get the Feast: a little bit of everything, including your choice of rice, salad, and dal in addition to your main item and choice of naan. Comes in just under $10; not too shabby!
Get the steak with onions when it's fresh. And don't forgot the spicy green sauce!
Finally got the chicken sandwich and was quite delicious, hot and crunchy, plenty of sauce and full of flavour!!! Def better than your hate-filled Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches
I love this Shake shack because it has the shortest line of them all. They also have indoor and outdoor seating.
Best Asian fusion fast food in the area! Love the Kobeyaki burger w/ teriyaki sauce, grilled teriyaki chicken or beef bowls, udon noodle soup, & sweet potato fries w/ wasabi mayo & teriyaki ketchup!
For the best knish in town, stop by this snack bar, watch the miniature sail boats race around, and walk to the Alice in Wonderland statue, one of the park’s most popular monuments.
TONY's top 25 tacos! Chicken & carnitas tacos: juicy & flavorful meat stuffed in two tasty corn tortillas! The green sauce is da bomb! ;9
The herbed chicken tenders, the hush puppy sweet potatoes, the naked wings and the cranberry brussel sprouts.
Curry fish balls, Siu Mai, & cheong fun (rice rolls) all for under $12hkd (~$1.50USD)! Yumm! ;9
If ur salt-sensitive, Tot-tines aren’t 4 U but tots (alone) are g8! Come EARLY, if U don’t want LONG waits, drunken 20-smthg’s & fights breaking out. Tonite, chef stopped cooking 2x to escort ppl out
The avocado cream sauce goes so well with the fish and rice. They have brown rice, quinoa, and all grains for different diets. I love it!
Daily Happy Hr 3-7pm: discounted deals on my faves-Mon's (quiches), Wed's (Eatpops), Thur's (smoothies) & Sun's (pizza). See my pic for other frozen food deals & enjoy! :)
I love their natural fruit & veggie frozen pops (esp Gravity Grape) & the frozen sorbets in a fruit (esp orange).
Now a few blks S, BF opened 1wk ago w/ a WIP take-out counter. U can buy ready-made frozen food by bulk to heat up @ home or, for $10.99 (menu price=9.99?), single ready-to-eat meals (1 main+side).
Bobwhite: slow for now, but the chicken sandwich is completely delicious. $7.95
Pecora Bianca, Dorado Tacos, Roberta’s Pizza, Takumi Taco, Bao by Kaya, Rockaway Clam, Inday, Little Collins, Bob White, Top Hops, Tuck Shop, Go Fish Sushi, Liquiteria, Taim, Kuro-Obi, Trapizzino.
Best value Jap-Chinese owed sushi joint in NYC! Love 9-pc w/ 1 roll “Sushi Deluxe” (+$1 for CA Uni), Gyoza, hot Soba, Mixed Seaweed Salad, Tofu Steak, Yellowtail Toro Scallion & Futomaki/Veggie rolls.
Fun 4 groups & dates, great svc (thx Amy!) & tasty & ok-priced Asian tapas, dim sum, sushi & hibachi. Loved Steam Soup Dumplings, Oink Oink Fried Rice & Taste of Asia cocktail! Worthy of repeat visit!
Food was delicious. Margarita wasn’t. Service was slow. Strange...happy hour doesn’t apply to people sitting in the back area that’s slightly raised. 🤔🤨
Sangria popsicle, food I ate could have been more flavorful but was good. $3 tacos $1 dumplings during happy hour
get the Indian vegetable cake and the chimichurri portobello mushroom. Very very good.
Had the morel encrusted tofu special and it was unreal. Would highly recommend their brownie and peach cobbler desserts as well. Don't get the special tree cocktail. Tastes like a glade candle smells
Highly recommend the beef noodle soup, water spinach and char siu dish.
Just tried the pot pie on their dinner specials menu. It is soo good especially on a cold winter night!
The mushroom focaccia sandwich is great; have them add avocado for even more deliciousness.
Reasonably priced for its quality! Best deserts that actually taste a lot better than the non-vegan ones.
Roasted veggies especially the pumpkin!Delicious carrot cake, one of the best I have tried!Also nice teas and good coffee.
Great hot sandwiches and really nice staff - the spicy Rizzak is amazing!
I read russian dumplings and I said I have to try them. Tried the chicken and the shredded beef with pork. The latter was fantastic and the pickle really adds a touch as weird as it might seem.
Potato and cabbage dumplings with dill and soy sauce were sooo good! And the guys working there are friendly and helpful. Cool little spot.
They are by the W 4th st stop every day but Monday! Love it for a quick snack or late night eats. Get the Siberian with Gouda, sour cream and a free pickle!
There's nothing light about the Lite Combo here. Loaded with a massive, snappy grilled kielbasa, 4 pierogies, & pickle spears you're sure to leave satisfied. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more.
Canadian burger chain is welcome UES addition. Opens ‘til 11pm. Tasty fries, Tempura Zucchini, Shakes, Sundaes + ALL-DAY egg sammies! But Mushroom Poutine is too salty & burgers are dry & flavorless.
Reminds me of outta-biz Maroni’s UES that I miss. Piping-hot & ok meatballs & decent Penne Bolognese. Only difference is portions are single-serving instd of family-style & this is more of a take-out
Overrated Chipotle w/ Asian flavors & healthier opts..I’ll build my own w/ Grilled Ckn or Tofu, quinoa or salad, Chinese Broccoli & Mushroom+Gochujang. Miso BBQ, 5-Spice & Adobe are 2 sweet or salty.
Eating #Vegan thx @ChefGuyVaknin for Ur creative 5-star quality Vegan #Sushi. Get #3’s to share: Mighty Mushroom Sushi Rolls, Badge & Fun-Guy Dumplings, & Sassy Bean Noodle Salad. #ZenfoodsterEats
Forget the BBQ Pork Bun, curry fish balls, rice noodles & the rest. Stick to their authentic HK-Style Milk Tea + famous SPONGE CAKE (plain, green tea, strawberry, etc) which are BEST in C’town!
My fave @ New World Mall food court after Tea Twitter (sadly) left. Get the Taiwanese Beef Noodle or the Roast Pork Noodle w/ the Tea Egg- you’ll be able to top off both w/ unlimited pickles.
Happy this N. Chinese hand-pulled chain is part of the UES. Try their Spicy & Tingly Beef Noodle, the Oxtail Noodle & my fave are their Spicy & Sour Spinach Dumplings.
Back to Shanghainese roots..my fave & THE BEST Xiao lung bao (aka XLB or crabmeat soup dumplings) served in US! Get Spicy cabbage, Fried Pork Chop & Bamboo apps are not too oily or over-seasoned ;9
Love Pan-fried Vegan, Steamed Shrimp & Pork Dumplings, Ckn Veggie Spring Roll, Pulled Pork Bao, Edamame in Wine Sauce, Braised Pork Chop Over Rice & Pickled Cabbage + Baked Pineapple Mochi Cake
