Special lunch set: shrimp tempura, soba, ikura rice, salad, salmon, stewed eggplant, lotus root, & yam & a mini milk tofu dessert-all for $17! For $3 xtra, get the Fri special cocktail.
Come early & order an excellent $10 chirashi + soba set deal (limited to 1st 20 DAILY)
Come M-F 11:30-12pm & order $10 bara chirashi bowl+soba deal(limited to 1st 20)-no longer a great deal but still ok. They're skimping out now: @times NO uni, less tuna & salmon, & more of mackerel.
Skip Nougatine next door & spend the extra $6! 2-dish lunch PF w/ comp 3-taste amuse bouche & 6-pcs of homemade petit 4's: chocolates,macaron,fruit gelée,& nut brittle. Uni & sea bass were my faves.;9
If ur in a hurry, Sakagura's "Kiosk"-lobby level-sells their signatures in bentos & bowls for less: grilled cod w/ asstd veggies; mixed veggie curry w/ beef; soba salad; chirashi; rice balls, etc.
I'm hooked! Love their whitefish salad & lobster salad (w/ bits of celery & not too mayoey) sandwich was a deal for $12.99! ;9
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
Kalbi don (short rib w/ grilled onions & shishito peppers on rice) lunch set is yet another fave!;9 Kalbi is a lil' spicy, sweet & salty.
Ask to have soy sauce left OFF of uni & ikura bowl-it was way too salty & spoiled natural taste of uni & ikura!
Resto is extremely well lit at lunch with its large windows on the corner of hudson and leroy. The lunch sets offer great value vs. the dinner menu. The sashimi set was expertly done and satisfying.
The cod lunch is the most amazing treat. Portions are perfect and tastes are exquisite. Housemade tofu is phenomenal.
For dinner - There are four-course “Kaze” ($55) and eight-course “Hana” ($85) menus. Tip - Menus change monthly. Try the Seasonal Special Menu - http://www.kajitsunyc.com/pdf/sp_menu_2013_05.pdf Подробнее.
Lunch only, but the prix fixe option (ichiju-sansai in Japanese means "one main three sides") is a steal for the quality and service.
great lunch special selection! includes salad, red or white miso soup and two sides. order the chirasi for generously sized sashimi!
Best rotisserie chicken lunch in NYC: 1/4 (white or dark meat) chicken w/ avocado tomato salad, a soda, & side (rice & beans, tostones, or fries). Ask 4 green sauce!
Juiciest $9.50 lunch (M-F 11-4pm) & best rotisserie chicken in NYC: 1/4 (white or dark meat) chicken w/ avocado tomato salad, a soda, & side (rice & beans, tostones, or fries). Ask 4 green sauce!
Words cannot describe how much I love this place! The ambiance is great and the food is delicious. Also, they serve a lunch menu (two courses) for just 29 bucks, so spend the extra $ on their drinks!
Lunch combination of ramen & mini donburi (rice bowl) for $10 pretax is a good value. 5 options for ramen and 5 for donburi. Pictured are spicy chili beef ramen with original curry donburi.
Best Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak & Curry Laksa in NYC from this Vendy-award winner! Get BBQ Pork (not fatty pork belly) Buns & Uncle Dumplings too. Stick w/ these Malay dishes & have an excellent meal.
Juiciest $9.50 lunch deal (M-F 11-4pm) & best rotisserie chicken in NYC: 1/4 (white or dark meat) chicken w/ avocado tomato salad, a soda, & side (rice & beans, tostones, or fries). Ask 4 green sauce!
This Japanese-Italian's been my fave for over 15 yrs! Order app portions of 2 diff pastas 4 variety: Spaghetti Con Uova Di Pesce (tobiko & shiso) and Linguine Ai Ricci (fresh uni, basil, pink sauce)
No more food truck. It's now a Thai-Vietnamese-Malay restaurant. Order the Vendy award-winning Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak & other Malay dishes. Thanks for a great meal, Owner Day.
Luv soulful soy sauce broth of Organic Ckn Udon, sizeable (Mini) Chirashi, savory & sweet Black Vinegar sauce of Fried Organic Ckn & Agedashi Tofu. Sushi is a bit fishy but still better than most ~UES
They're stingy w/ it but ask 4 Jalapeño vinegary sauce-instead of sweet soy sauces-to offset oiliness of fried Chive pancakes (like turnip cakes from Canto dimsum)
Luak Jim (app: mix of steamed seafood cakes/ balls w/ spicy seafood sauce), Pad Pukk (chicken w/ veggies in oyster sauce w/ over-easy egg on rice. Request less sesame oil) are also my MUST-try's!
New authentic UES Japanese is rare gem open for lunch w/ everyday sets 11:45am-3pm: shabu shabu, sukiyaki, homemade tofu w/ hot or cold udon, miso soup, & salad. Salad dressing on par w/Soba Totto's.
A elegant place to have lunch and to “see and be seen.” Definitely go with the Truffle Pizza and the Croque M. Or you can go wrong with the Chilled Seafood Platter.
I'm very hesitant about ordering eggs Benedict, because my family's homemade hollandaise sauce recipe is always better than anything I've tried at a restaurant. Except for this place. Sauce was A+.
Great brunch. The black truffle pizza with fontina cheese is delicious, though a bit salty, and VERY rich. Share with someone else for sure.
Cute oasis in a midtown basement. Industrial/raw look. The lunch options are all around $10 and are delicious (salmon teriyaki, katzu curry). $20 happy hour sushi set.
One of my favorite spots in nyc for a quick bite to eat and amazing happy hour deals. Get there by 5:30 cause when they open at 6 it's full!
Omu soba, steak/asparagus, tofu avocado salad, crabcake, takoyaki, mentai spaghetti, garlic rice, mackerel. All delish, but my favs were 1st 4. HH 5:30-7p M-Sat $3 beer/$4 wine/$5-7 mixed drinks
I get their bento boxes for lunch or dinner at least three times a week. Around $6-7 and a good variety. My favourite is the miso salmon. The onigiri aren't amazing, but they're cheap and filling.
After 31 yrs here, CR is closing on 7/17 & moving to 75th st/ York Ave. Good $13.95 brunch deal: choice of entrée + drink..decent Chilaquiles Rojas w/ steak (add salsa verde 4 spice!) + red sangria.
Best Neapolitan pizza in the UES - my fave is the Diavola (w/ spicy Spressata)! Their red sauce, eggplant (Parmigiana Di Melanze), & Rigatoni Alla Bolognese are my other craves!
If u can't splurge, get $28 sushi+sashimi combo (5 pcs of sushi+2 maki rolls)-incl some of starred fish in omakase. $23 chirashi's also a deal: 4-6 pcs of 5 diff fish & they'll leave out ur dislikes
Skip the sushi and go for speciality dishes such as the fake pastas made from seafood (uni cauliflower pasta), uni risotto, & beef fois sukiyaki. Great Austrian dessert wine! Bad selection of teas.
The restaurant is inside Gagosian Gallery. Along with traditional sushi and entrees, you find some unique stuff like fish pasta. Desserts all have slight Japanese twist!
The creamy Half uni shell (I would share this dish) beef sukiyaki, and Peking duck foie gras tacos were standouts
Their other addicting dishes are their house salad & $20 uni, crab, & salmon roe rice. ;9 Dinner menu is different. Lunch is definitely the time to go!
Lunch-only vegetarian version filled with mushroom duxelles, pan-fried and anointed with chanterelles, lingonberries, and brown-butter foam.
Seafood and rabbit dishes stand out, as does the house-infused aquavit. Come in December for their holiday smörgåsbord. – Green Guide Editor
$22 Lunch is only deal. Ur paying 4 "ambiance" + small, pricey portions of gluten-free, vegan Korean. Wear nice socks. No shoes rule @ entry! Open 4 lunch @ 1pm on Sat's?! Is it zen w/ all this FUSS?!
The 3-course prix fixe lunch (pictured) with wine pairing is a great-tasting bargain for $37 per person before tax and gratuity.
You must, must, must order the Caprese Focaccia! It's soft, cheesy deliciousness that you'll want more of. Share homemade pastas, Orecchiette and Cavatelli, with your date. Pair with Rose. #nyceats
Charlie bird has a lunch special which is 32 dollars for a small plate and a pasta. We had the crudo which was light and fresh and the cacio e Pepe which was simple and delicious!
Yes, get the duck egg spaghetti with uni. Get two it's so good. But don't overlook the other small plates and pastas the razor clams, fluke with spicy oil, stracciatella toast, and bacon cappellacci.
Anything from the raw bar is outstanding. Fluke crudo, razor clams come to mind. Outstanding wine selection. Comfortable outdoor seating as well.
Authentic Thai noodle joint! Pad Thai done right! Dip Jalapeño sauce w/ Chive pancakes. Tom Yum Bolarn (soup noodles w/ minced pork+fish balls) + Pork Kaprow w/ overeasy egg on rice are MUST-try's!
Decent AYCE $25 sushi dinner incl. sushi rolls + extra add-on's (eg., shrimp tempura, uni & desserts like Mochi) for under $6/ each. $20 AYCE Lunch is good too but has way less options.
Amazing garlic naan and chicken tikka masala! Loved mango lassi drink too. Food menus are 50% off during lunch hours.
Both Gobhi Mussalum & Paneer Tikka Masala weren't that spicy, heavy, & extremely oily. Murg Malai Kebab-grilled chicken chunks-was the only dish I would reorder again.
Menu, service & prices are geared more towards Caucasians (note: don't get XLB / soup dumplings @ a Canto place - decent 1’s are usually from authentic Shanghainese cuisine - which UES really needs!)
Newly opened China Jade Szechuan on UES!👍🏻$8.95 lunch deals: Stir-Fried Ckn w/ Roast Chilis, String Beans w/ Minced Pork & Veggie Chow Fun were all tasty & spicy & not too oily or salty (by request)
Steamed veggie dumplings had a nice filling. Skins were nice & thin. Dumplings tasted good but didn’t seem homemade & possibly frozen & out of a bag- the way a lot of average Chinese joints do it.
Cozy neighborhood British gastropub. Recommend: scotch egg, fish and chips with mushy peas, pot pies and sticky toffee pudding. Great beer selection.
Try the curry club every Monday in November - great combo of British and Indian cuisine! #JWF
All the different types of toast are amazing - be adventurous and try to chicken liver and steak tar tar.
Get the steak with onions when it's fresh. And don't forgot the spicy green sauce!
Pain de Gruyere = to die for. Your mouth won't know what to do except smile :) Get a loaf to go if the bakery line isn't too long. If so, you can buy at the table at restaurant price for $0.50 more.
Best Baguette: baguette Monge-slightly swollen at middle & slender at tips, crackly outer crust yielding to a moist, almost damp crumb...tastes buttery w/o butter, rich & complex w. a subtle tang.
Delicious French pastries. Obviously the chocolate croissant is a must, but the Yuzu pastry is also good!
Chocolate almond croissants were some of the best I've ever had, not too heavy or oily. We had lunch - salad was good, salmon was amazing.
the lunch is fantastic! Tasty food at the buffet from chicken tandoori and tikka masala to desserts ... highly recommended spot for lunch in midtown
This is the place to go if you want comfort food or Southern classics like hush puppies alongside your Memphis-style (dry rubbed and hickory smoked) ribs. Подробнее.
If you're hungry somewhere near Times Square, this is the place you'll need to stop. Great food, short waiting time, prices aren't too high.
Cozy spot that cooks up authentic flavor without standard greasy American Thai takeout fare. Tom yum noodle soup is well worth a try with spinach egg noodles!
Nothing beats staying in on snowy day & delivery of our faves: Anardana Ckn (Pomegranate Grilled Ckn), Dum Ki Gobhi Aloo (Cauliflower+potato), Palak Paneer (Spinach Paneer), Butter Ckn & Garlic Naan.
Love Bhuttey Ka Kebab, Palak Paneer, Dum Ki Gobhi Aloo, Paneer Lababdar, Subz Panchmael, Daal tadka (lentils), chicken dishes: Tandoori, Makhani & Anardana, Basmati Rice + Garlic & Onion Naan
Best traditional Indian fare in E Midtown has $10 lunch specials (entree+naan+dal+rice) & an excellent dine-in buffet ($14 M-Th; $15 Fri-Sun). Reservations needed esp for wkend buffet.
They also have $8.50 lunch deals: choice of entree (Baigan Bartha -fire-roasted eggplant, onion, & tomato) + rice + naan
$16 lunch sets gets you your choice of small ramen, rice bowl, and pickled cabbage. An extra $3 gets 2 steamed gyoza or a bao. Ramen is decent, not great. The rice bowls and apps is where it shines.
Jap-Italian tapas, live Jazz piano Mon’s 7pm-10pm & Sat’s 7pm-11pm, lunch specials + 4-7pm HH: $4 house sake & beer, $6 house wine, $7 cocktails + 1/2-priced shochu. Who can ask more anything more?
Hidden gem in midtown east. It's a Japanese eatery / piano bar / karaoke. They are so generous with the amount of sashimi they put into a bowl. $22 is so worth it for Uni don. Kirin draft is only $4.
1 of my fave Indian lunch buffets-choice of vegetarian or meat-which has pretty much the same veggie options + 1 meat app + 1 meat entrée (no lamb for me)! ;9
MMD was 1 of my top go-to Indian restaurants..but now-sadly-no more! Recently, I’ve noticed food quality & taste have been slipping, a “C” health-rating, pricier menu ≠ smaller (delivery) portions!
Order the oddball "St. Feuillien Triple 9L Salmanazar" aka the "largest beer bottle in the world". Подробнее.
Pricier, inconsistent & not truest Cantonese but only decent 1 w/ full dim sum menu on UES! Get Ckn w/ Chinese Broccoli, General Tso's Ckn, Fried dumplings & Turnip Squares (ask for extra crispy-fry).
Risotto balls, Caesar and truffle pizza were all delicious! Service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more!
The pasta here is to die for. We started with the foie gras (OMG), then we split the cavatelli & tortelloni, bombolini & choc dome dessert. It was probably the best meal I've had in all of America.
Stumbled upon this restaurant when we saw $19.99 brunch special - those options were limiting... BUT on the normal menu, duck confetti hash over eggs and veggie egg-white frittata both were phenomenal
Sunday Brunch here was great. Got the spaghetti with clam in white sauce as well as the garganelli bolognese.
Great place for Italian food, the pasta is really amazing. Go for the ravioli with lobster.
VERY BAD customer svc-Over 1-hr delivery & when we called, woman on phone wasn't apologetic & said that we're gonna have to wait anthr hr or she'll cancel our order. We're HANGRY!!!!
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.
Must-go ~$35 Sun brunch w/ bottomless mimosas + AYCE buffet of Borscht, Blinis, Pelmenis & more (2-hr limit)! Mon-Fri $24 3-course PF Lunch is also a deal.
We loved the dumplings, zucchini pancakes, marinated mushrooms, and the smoked salmon and caviar with crepes were outstanding. Great cocktails too!
Reservations needed for I've-died-&-gone-to-heaven sushi! No creative rolls here. All about fresh, raw fish & for sushi purists. Order Chef's starred daily fish & definitely splurge for the Omakase!
Kimchi jigae at Hahm Ji BachNext time you’re craving a sinus assault at 4am, head to Queens for the kimchi jigae at 24-hour Korean restaurant Hahm Ji Bach. This traditional stew arrives in a bubbl...
Very good food. They have a brunch of nice lunch sets. Loved the Beef and the chicken. Tofu soup was also very good
Korean BBQ taco & rice bowl truck has rolled onto the scene w/ delish must-trys - spicy pork! Here Tue's & Fri's around 11am-3:30pm.
Not many decent Korean places on UES..so, this is my go-to delivery. Pricey for a shabby takeout w/ only ok kimbap, mandoo, pajeon, bulgogi & bibimbap. Save w/ the $9.95 M-F Lunch w/ 2 entrees+1 side.
DAILY Hh:)!! 5-7PM: $8 cocktails. $6 wine, $4 beer. $5 rolls, cocas, dumplings, churros. 1 of the best pan-latin fares & :) hrs in midtown!
Lunch specials are great! They have 3 different portions of soba - small, medium, and large for the same price. I got the medium and couldn't finish. Don't b greedy and waste food!
Started with Kaisou Salad, excellent and fresh! Followed by the epic Gyoza! Crispy on the outside/tender on the inside. Was perfection! Loved the miso soup. Yakitori Don was awesome. Great experience
Excellent. Try the traditional Yakisoba beef (kobe). For a great experience try different dishes (portions are small and could be share around the table).
YUM! My fave yakitori were the Momo (chicken thigh) and Tsukune (chicken meatball). Also delicious are the Tako Wase (marinated octopus) and Mizore Gake (fried eggplant).
Stop in to get a ham & cheese croissant & their amazingly refreshing Summer Tropical Garden Herbal Iced Tea -a blend of mango, pineapple, papaya & peach flavor! 😋
Decently priced & best in UES for the Chinese milk tea, Lychee green tea (w/ coconut jelly not boba/ bubble), fresh fruit & green juices & smoothies!
Best bang 4 $? Get $38 3-course Lunch PF or, better, $48 3-course (w/ better opts) Pre-Theater PF (M-F 5-6pm; Sat 11:45am-3pm/5-6pm) OR Sun PF 11:45am-3pm/5-clsg). Simply order xtra craves á la carte!
amazing oysters, One of the freshest and flavoured we had. Grilled octopus is by far the best appetizer. Crab cakes are tender and of superb quality.
Greek nouveau seafood-centric options in a lovely setting. Go for 3-Course $39 Lunch PF; $49 Wkend Theater Menu (Fri & Sat 5–6pm/9-10:30pm); OR $79 4-course dinner. And pay attention to the specials!
$10 wkday & $13 wkend buffet! My faves: Gobi Manchurian, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Ammwala, Lasooni Chicken, & Chettinadu Veggie. Menu full of Indo-Chinese specials & options. Never a bad dish yet
Servers are excellent - helpful with sake & menu recommendations. The food was great as well - had the lobster avocado salad, wagyu skirt steak, garlic rice, and sashimi - it was all excellent.
Avocado Lobster is amazing!Our server Andrew, very knowledgeable of his menu. The food all around was stellar, the service was exceptional. You get what you pay for!!! We will go back for sure!
Teppan lobster brushed with ponzu and served with 9 sauces, mushrooms and shishito peppers & seared scallops sushi. Skip tuna sashimi with chilli. Shaved ice dessert between 2-4 & choc mousse
Love tasty & spicy Indo-Chinese: Shrimp Piri Piri, Ckn Tikka Masala, Paneer Szechwan, Ckn Malai Kabob & Salmon Tikka. Pricey & no lunch specials on wkend. Can't wait to try @ this E50th location?!
$1.99 Sangria for checking into 4sq. Also, ask the hostess if there's a Iron Chef menu: 5 tapas tasting for $35!! It's not always offered.
Lunch specials are a pretty good deal although the Moussaka was meatier than most and the chicken was tasty but a bit dry. FREE soda w/ Yelp check-in!
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!
This place is so underrated and an amazing find. Prosciutto & burrata is great (the photo is a half portion 😍) and every pasta is unbelievable. Amazing use of truffle.
The decor, table by window while sipping on a refreshing Huracan & listening to a live band play Bossa Nova was a relaxing respite b4 our jazz show @Village Vanguard. HH Sun-Thur 3-7pm w/ $7 cocktails
This place has the same feel as Tiny Thai and M-thai and taste the same. The Sukho Noodle Soup is basically tom yum noodle soup with lots of different toppings.
My staples: Patlican (non-oily, smoky & garlicky eggplant purée), Garlic Ckn (wt meat chunks w/ lemon, wt wine+veggies) & Manti (homemade Turkish grnd beef dumplings w/ garlic-yogurt, sumac & mint).
New UES Thai gives Up Thai some competition! The HITS: Good Thai iced-T (ask 4 less milk); tender, juicy & tasty BBQ Pork Skewers (liking Spicy Tamarind sauce); great heat & flavor in Pad Prik King
The MISSES/WIP: Fried Chive pancakes were a tad oily; Pad Thai (w/ fresh seafood)-good noodles w/ fresh seafood-lacked spice+flavors of a good Pad Thai. Lkg fwd to trying hard-to-find Mee Grob dish.
My fave Thai in Manhattan only 2 blks away w/ “spicy” (request) & distinct LOVEs: Up Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Jeed Jard Noodle Soup, Krapow Gai Sub, Kao Nar Gai, to name a few...
And a few more.. Massaman Curry, Lemongrass Pork Chop, Kway Tiew Gai Noodle Soup, Fried Rice Clay Pot, Mango Mousse Cake (w/ Mango Sorbet)

Pho Ga's 1 of my fave Ckn Noodle Soup go-to's when sick..esp w/ creative Chinese-influenced Ginger Scallion sauce. Grilled Pork Chop, Mango & Beets Summer Roll & Cha Gio all good. Ask 4 xtra Nuoc Cham
Average sushi shop w/ fall-apart Futomaki + Wasabi Lobster rolls & Snow Crab Salad (all w/ Kani=fake crabmeat), Bulgogi Dumplings, dry Peking Duck Bao, dry & un-fresh Hamachi Collar+bland Teriyaki Ckn
Pricier & only ok but there are UberEats / Delivery.com lunch deals that may make it worth it. Best so far are Black Pepper Seitan, Eggplant String Beans in Basil garlic sauce, Pumpkin soup.
