NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 34 Street – Herald Square Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

This restaurant was a fantastic find! The dishes were packed with authentic flavors—spicy, savory, and full of that signature numbing sensation that Sichuan cuisine is known for. Each dish was beautifully presented and had the perfect balance of spice and freshness. The ingredients tasted top-notch, and the seasonings were bold without overwhelming the natural flavors. If you’re a fan of Chinese food, this place is a must-try! Highly recommend for anyone craving real Chinese food!

I come to this place pretty often for lunch, they have very good deal for lunch specials. And, tonight I had a great time with my friend. We tried out the new seasonal menu. The crispy squid definitely one of my favorite, it is spicy but not crazy spicy. Strongly recommend this dish especially if you are drinking alcohol. I think it will be a good choice. The milk custard is so creamy, I was told that it’s made out of buffalo milk. Very simple but I am loving this dessert.

Good food. Very nice staff. We happened upon Oohu on a Google maps search because we wanted to go out for a Chinese New Year meal and couldn't get a table at any of the places we usually go to because they were already booked. The reviews were good on Google and we're glad we they were right. Our favorite dishes were the wood ear mushrooms , the pan fried pork dumplings, spicy Chongqing fried chicken, the string beans with bamboo shoots and the because mushrooms with bok choy. I wouldn't get the roast duck again since it wasn't crispy. The waiter says the peking duck is crispier. Our party was very pleased with our meal overall.

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food is super authentic Chinese, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The fish dish, topped with green onions, was especially delicious – cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The other dishes we tried were tasty, with a nice balance of spices that made everything feel genuine and satisfying. The delivery was quick, and the prices are extremely reasonable, especially for Midtown Manhattan. The staff was friendly and made us feel comfortable from the start. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food without breaking the bank. I’ll definitely be back. Recommend dishes: 葱花鱼，干锅牛蛙，爆炒腰花

This is a wonderful place if you want to have a cozy dinner with family and you really enjoy authentic SiChuan style spicy dishes. We had one of their signature fish dishes, the fish was live and kicking 😝(really fresh) and the dish was cooked so deliciously spicy that we decided to come back for another even before we finished our dinner. I decreased a star because I felt the other dish we had, the dumplings, was bit too salty. But overall it’s a really great dining experience. And the server was excellent too, attentive, friendly and very helpful

We wandered into this steakhouse on Christmas Eve without a reservation but were told bar seating is available on a first come first served basis to order food. We were so blessed that the one table at the bar just happened to be open. All the people working there were super friendly and attentive. The steak was great- porterhouse for two. The carrot cake was amazing! We enjoyed the banana foster too. So lovely and cozy for a Christmas Eve dinner.

Dining at Keens Chophouse in the iconic Bull Moose Room is like stepping into history with a side of indulgence. 🥩✨ The legendary mutton chop stole the show—perfectly cooked, rich, and absolutely satisfying. Every bite reminds you why this place has been a NYC institution for over a century. Surrounded by vintage charm, smoking pipes on the ceiling, and the spirit of old New York, it’s more than just a meal—it’s an experience. If you haven’t tried the mutton chop here, you’re missing out on a piece of steakhouse history!

Keens Steakhouse is a remarkable dining destination that beautifully combines exceptional cuisine with a rich historical ambiance. The mutton chops were the standout dish of the evening—absolutely worth every penny. They were cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor, making each bite a true delight. The staff at Keens were a pleasure, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the menu and the restaurant's storied past. Their recommendations added to the experience, ensuring we made the most of our visit. The ambiance is nothing short of incredible. The historical surroundings create a unique atmosphere that feels both inviting and nostalgic. I particularly loved the clay pipes that adorned the ceiling, a fascinating nod to the restaurant's legacy. Dining here is not just a meal; it’s a journey through time, with every bite evoking the history that surrounds you. I highly recommend Keens Steakhouse for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience steeped in tradition.

Keens Steakhouse is a New York City institution that truly lives up to its legendary status. The moment you step inside, you're transported back to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. The dimly lit, wood-paneled dining rooms exude a classic charm, and the attentive service adds to the overall experience. The star of the show, of course, is the steak. The quality of the meat is exceptional, expertly cooked to perfection. The sides, particularly the creamed spinach and the crispy fries, are equally delicious. Don't forget to indulge in one of their famous mutton chops - a truly unique and unforgettable dining experience. The wine list is extensive, offering a wide range of options to complement your meal. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Keens Steakhouse is the perfect place to create lasting memories. We visited in September 2024 and would highly recommend.

Every time when I’m craving a steak it’s always Keens. Classic and famous NYC steak house. I have been here many times. The food and service is amazing. They have plenty of seat so walk in is easy. My favorite appetizer is baked blue cheese puff. I like to eat it with the complimentary bread. So so good ‎(◕ᴗ◕✿) For entree we love prime rib king the size is good for 2 people. The meat is great quality and juicy. Perfect cooked. Mushrooms side is very tasty. It has a little bit tangy favor.

We visited restaurant on Sunday. It’s pretty empty which is good for us so we can relax. Food is really good! We absolutely love it. We order dozen of oysters, chicken wings, chicken pot pie, and apple pie ( really recommend; not too sweet, just right amount of sweetness) all were very tasty. Shout out for my 2 lady servers. They are super busy cause they must have covered the whole restaurant just two of them. They were very friendly and service-minded ( Sunday, Aug 25). Would come back again.

I ordered the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. The burger was very good, perfectly seasoned. The sweet potato fries were very good as well, along with some honey to dip those babies in. A very healthy, delicious meal, for a Sunday afternoon! My server Wendy was outstanding!!! Thank you Wendy! 😁

Favorite Chinese restaurant by far!! My Chinese friend brought me here for the first time because of its authentic Chinese cuisine. It’s not Americanized if you will. Simple decor, very attentive service and delicious, wide selection menu. While my company enjoyed many meat dishes, I am vegetarian and had plenty of options to select from as well. Definitely recommend. Restaurant has multiple floors, nice bar and clean bathroom.

Delightful Lunch Experience. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe China. And thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The overall experience was outstanding, thanks to the delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and attentive service. Our bartender, Edward, provided exceptional care, ensuring our lunch at the bar counter was memorable. The menu offerings did not disappoint. Standouts included the savory Ma po tofu, flavorful purple and white rice, perfectly cooked string beans, and tender shredded chicken with yellow chives. The spicy cucumber appetizer, however, fell short of expectations. Instead of the anticipated spicy kick and perfect marinade balance, it consisted of fresh cucumbers topped with a few red peppers, lacking flavor and seasoning. Despite this minor misstep, I highly recommend this place. Reservations are essential, as wait times can reach 40-60 minutes. Our bill totaled $112 for two people, including six dishes and hot jasmine tea – a reasonable price for the quality and quantity. Kudos to the team for the elegant business card design, reflecting the restaurant's attention to detail. Our rating - 4.5/5. Thank you and good luck.

While the food was excellent the service was basically nonexistent. In fact while we were still eating the server came by and took our water carafe and never replaced it nor asked if we wanted an additional sake. Definitely suggest walking down a few blocks to the East and going to Chili as overall it is a much better meal especially the service.

We were allured by the “only Michelin star Chinese restaurant in NYC”. Not sure how that’s possible to be honest. Had high expectations but both food and service spotty. Vintage = run down both inside and out. Soup dumplings and Kung Pao chicken were 5 stars but the other food 3. Beef and shrimp fried rice was bland and soulless. Service was polite but not that attentive we had to wave down waiter for every item.
Thomas Strehle - a month ago

Food is authentic Szechuan, but it's been adjusted to suit a wider audience. Spice levels have been adjusted on certain dishes, and other items have a touch of sweetness. Still a faithful representation and certainly excellent food. Would not hesitate to visit again.

Was lucky to walk in and get a table almost without much waiting on Monday night. The grilled short ribs tasted amazing and the portion size was very decent (think there were a total of 10 pieces). The tofu stew was lovely as well, which we found rather comforting and went super well with rice. The seafood pancake was crispy and savory.

Just finished my dinner with my old friends. Some staffs were extremely friendly but some were totally opposite, particularly senior servers controlling other junior staff. I would say, don’t expect too much such as authentic Korean style kindness originated from their heart. Not worth to pay around 300 dollars for 5 people to get such a medium quality Korean food with inappropriate services.

Lunch on New Years Day. My wife ordered Duk Mandooguk for good luck and I ordered Dobdol Bibimbop. Both dishes were very taste. They give you lots of delicious small dishes to start. It is a really busy place. BBQ is mainly upstairs but there was a long line waiting. We ate downstairs where it is rather crowded with tables very close together. Not much atmosphere but food is delicious. The bathroom is old but clean.
Perry Harbour - in the last week

We wait for more than 20 mins, even the stuff siad that there has the seats (then say so many times wait a minute...) We know that we do not have reservation, but the wait time a little bit higher than what we expected. (So suggest to have an reservation before go) Anyway, we are the weekday lunch combo...it is cheaper than what we expected. However, the korean stone rice = bibmbap is not that satisfies and soup is just ok! The good thing is hot tea and sweet tea after the meal:) Small dishes is quite ok.

Kunjip is a popular Korean restaurant, located in Koreatown. The restaurant offers traditional Korean flavors. I came her for lunch and ordered their steamed egg, fried rice, and fish soup. The food is well-seasoned and comes in generous portions, and the banchan (side dishes) are fresh. The restaurant is popular for its classic Korean BBQ experience. Friendly staffs and inside feels cozy. Great spot for a casual dining. It can get crowded during peak hours.

This is a very loud bar with TV screens on the walls playing sports. The music is very loud. If you want a place to chat with friends without shouting, this isn’t the spot. The interior is fun. The salmon, mashed potatoes, and sautéed vegetables is very basic but good. No sauces accompany the dish. The server called me hun and mama. It’s a place for groups to drink and nosh on shared plates.

Spacious place for indoor and outdoor seating. My go to place for happy hour. Oysters are excellent and fresh. Good bar food apps like calamari and chicken tenders. Usually hit this place once or twice a year on biz trips.

Location is convenient, easy to get to. Can eat inside or outside. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and super helpful. Even the host and the tabke busser was A+. We were not rushed from our table. They even took my friends request to sing happy birthday to me with a complimentary slice of cheesecake. The food was good, prices for a NYC restaurant was excellent, they have happy hour drinks until 8pm. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in midtown. 10/10.

The French Onion grilled cheese (add tomato) was prob the best grilled cheese sandwich of my life. I was skeptical at first, but it was totally worth it, and the server confirmed - saying she wished more people would order it, bc it's that good. She was right. Food came out fast, service was great. Ambiance is nice.

This is the spot for my office. A bar with legit food. Huge portion with a very reasonable price, and very delicious!!! I love their pulled pork nachos. The best. They are always extremely patient with my colleagues who have different kinds of food allergies and restrictions. My husband loved their Cajun burger - it’s ridiculously big with waffle fries. We always go for their happy hour for $10 mules. Perfect spot for lunch or relaxing time after work! The only downside is that they seem always short staffed. Don’t get me wrong - they all work very hard, running around and doing everything. As a result, we do often need to wave our arms hard to get our waitress’s attention.

This is the best Korean restaurant I've ever eaten at in New York—hands down. With many unique dishes you won't find at other places, like the squid rice dish. They also offer a generous amount of banchan (side dishes), and the service is excellent—they kept refilling our side dishes without us even asking. I truly hope this restaurant never closes; that's the highest compliment I can give!

Waited close to two hours on a Friday evening but it was so worth it. We ordered the fermented rice wine which was a lot for two but had a sweet and fizzy taste which I enjoyed a lot, seafood pancake crispy on outside and fluffy on the inside, spicy pork and tofu which paired so well with the fluffy white rice, and last but not least the signature tofu stew! I would come back here in a heart beat. Service was fantastic and efficient too

I arrived on a weekday around 1:30pm for lunch. I was dining solo and since CDG is walk in only, I had 10 parties ahead of me and waited about 15-20 minutes to get a seat. What I got: - Spicy Pork with Tofu + Seafood Soon Stew Lunch Combo - Warm homemade tofu starter - Banchan: Fishcake, spinach, pumpkin, bean sprouts, radish kimchi Final Thoughts: The lunch combo comes with a mini size main and stew, but I found the portion to be quite good for lunch and at an affordable lunch price. They provide a free starter which is a small bowl of warm fresh tofu and I'm a big tofu fan so I really enjoyed it. The rice comes out of a metal bowl which they pour water into for you to enjoy the leftover scorched rice. I appreciate how you had the combo option to get more variety even as a solo diner opposed to just a single dish. With the bill I got two small Yakgwa (Honey cookies) which you don't always see so that was really nice! I look forward to coming again.

Great Korean spot. It is quite busy and they don’t take reservations so either come right when they open or have to put your name down on a waiting list. They are known for their homemade tofu. All the food is tasty and the spicy dishes definitely have a kick.
Shagun Mohan - 3 months ago

It is a very lively place, with a sweet old fashioned Korean decoration. This time I only had vegetarian food. The food was good, but not outstanding. I liked the fluffy texture of the buckwheat pancake, and it looks so good. The perilla seed stew was interesting, but not wow. The signature homemade tofu was pretty bland. They have a few vegetarian options. Most of the staff was friendly, and service was quick. They don't take reservations and there is usually a wait

My husband made a reservation for dinner on my birthday, and we had the chef’s tasting menu. Everything was absolutely delicious! I'm usually sensitive to the smell of lamb and don’t often seek it out, but the lamb chops here were incredible. The hamachi sashimi melted in my mouth, and the halibut was perfectly tender with a refreshing sauce. The servers were incredibly kind, checking on us throughout the meal and even wishing me a happy birthday. Thanks to them, I had a truly wonderful night!

We were incredibly impressed by the Michelin stars awarded to this restaurant! Our visit was absolutely delightful, thanks to the exceptional service provided by the attentive staff. They went out of their way to make our anniversary celebration truly special, surprising us with a scrumptious cake. Along with this thoughtful gesture, we were treated to a meticulously crafted multi-course menu designed to showcase the delicious flavors of the season. It was a truly memorable dining experience that exceeded all our expectations.🫶🏻❤️

Pretty mediocre quality (thought the pastas were honestly just ok) and the value for price was bad. Atmosphere was a bit stuffy too. Thought the risotto was undercooked as rice was not fully cooked. The salad, however, was fantastic. Probably won’t be back.

One of our favorite dinner atmospheres in Manhattan. Amazing food, perfect service and a menu worth traveling for. Not only did my wife and I get engaged here but we came back 3 years later on our honeymoon.

We brought our clients to Al Fiori for dinner tonight and had a lovely time. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable and it was a seamless process to work with the restaurant to get everything set up. Our menus were customized, the menu was diverse and they worked to accommodate all dietary restrictions. The photos don't do it justice - would highly recommend.

*for vegetarian people*: not recommended. mostly has beef related stuff, or fish sauce or oyster sauce. there is only one thing that doesn’t have that according to staff (it was out of stock). food: can’t rate it. i went twice. first time i ate it thinking the stuff that says vegetable or tofu is fully veggie. it’s not. i was very sad to find out on my second visit. i neglected to ask the first time and it was my mistake. i think they need to label it better with ingredients :(( i am not allowed to have beef and i was so sad to find out most stuff has artificial beef flavoring and when we asked if thats veggie, they checked and said no :(( on our second visit, i made a mistake purchasing food first and then inquiring (honestly i only inquired bc my partner raised a concern about it otherwise i was ignorant). found out all this after purchasing, so it wasn’t only money wasted but sad i had what i am not supposed to. i highly suggest better labeling for ease! vibe/experience: nice space with good lighting and ambiance. you take what you want from the racks of prepared meals, pay, and warm them up in the microwave. it’s a cute concept. they are freshly made at the location. prices: reasonable for the portion sizes. expect to spend approximately $12-15 to be full! but the good thing is, you don’t need to spend all that if you’re not that hungry!!! service: it’s pretty much self-serve but people at the register are nice and active if you need help. i guess i would take some off here because if it’s lunch box style, i think better labels would equate to better service for me. overall, i would recommend this place for people without dietary restrictions however, definitely would not to those who are strict vegetarians (also who can’t have cow-based products). it’s a cute concept!

As a Flight Attendant, you often have to pick from a group of words if you want to eat on layover and didn't have time to meal prep. Fast/affordable/healthy/easy/nearby/variety, you often only get to pick two. I'm so happy that I found a place in downtown NY that meets all of these categories. The food was delicious, the selection was wide, lots of healthy options, quick, and didn't break my wallet before payday. You can eat in or take away, microwaves are available to heat up the food, and even later at night there was a great selection and people bringing fresh product out. I easily found everything I needed for myself and my crew and was able to rush back to my hotel and feed them after a long day of flying. The people who work there are exceptional, very kind and welcoming. I want to especially say thank you to Rue, who was super sweet, and so nice to talk to. She was thorough and friendly, and very kind. I look forward to my next layover in NYC, because I will absolutely be coming back and bringing my crew with me next time so we can share a meal in the store.

Lots of options on shelves in the restaurant. You pick a couple containers of food and go to the cash to pay (accept credit cards). Food is tasty but a little overpriced for what it is (5 bucks for a small tub of kimchi) but a great option for a quick bite. Great location in Korea town.

Brought the family here after a trip to Santaland. Food was good! I wish the portions were a little more but I won’t complain because I want to lose weight before my next trip. I loved the butternut squash pasta…. I should have ordered two to fill me 😂. Love how our seat had a view of the Empire State Building….

I came here for a co-workers retirement dinner, and I will be honest that I had very low expectations dining here since the restaurant is located on the 6th floor in Macy's. But, to my surprise, the restaurant is very lovely and the food, in my opinion, tasted great. We got the bread for the table, calamari, and seared prawns as appetizers to be shared. My main course was the roasted chicken, and it was cooked perfectly, and it was moist and juicy. My cocktail of the Spicy Blood Orange Margarita gave me a nice buzz. The only issue was the service, which was a tad slow. We were way done with our appetizers and drinks before our server came back to get our main course orders. Don't get me wrong, the young man who waited on us was very friendly and took our orders correctly, and made sure that he addressed my co-workers' food allergies with the kitchen. They have a decent sized food and drinks menu, but it can seem rather expensive...then again it is located in Macy's. In spite of the slower than usual service, I really enjoyed my meal here and would dine her again in the future.

Went there for Drag Brunch with friends! I looked at a few reviews of the place beforehand and was worried about the food as most people said it wasn’t great at all. I got the avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised, it came with a side salad and was pretty good! A bit bland, but nothing that salt and pepper couldn’t fix. The bread was quite hard though, and I couldn’t cut it with my knife and fork. Bottomless mimosas were great though! And Drag Brunch was the best!! The vibes and the energy were amazing, the drag kings were just so great, I had the most fun ever.

Love and hate at the same time. My hiding spot in NYC. Quiet and relaxing. Cocktail is only so-so/ bad. Well, I made it better at home. Did not order food last time.. Price is high. $19 for so-so cocktail, plus tax plus tips. End up $26 a drink...... I know it is NY, but.... If the environment is good, I will not come again
