NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 34 Street – Penn Station 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!

This place knows how to bring bold flavors to the table! I ordered the *Spring Bamboo & Beef Casserole*, which was so homey and delicious—the beef was super tender, and the bamboo had a nice crunch. The *Green Peppercorn Fish* stole the show for me, though. It’s spicy in the best way possible, and the fish was incredibly fresh. The *Boneless Pork Knuckles* were packed with flavor and practically melted in my mouth, and I really enjoyed the *Stir-Fried Kidney*, which was seasoned perfectly without being overpowering. The *Frog Dry Pot* was a fun surprise—it’s loaded with spices and made me a fan of frog meat! Overall, a fantastic meal with great service and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re into authentic Sichuan flavors!

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

The service is excellent, the staff are very friendly, the place is very clean and comfy. It is so hard to find a good restaurant like this around Manhattan. Love the spicy level, perfect for my level of spice. This place might be a perfect spot for Mark Wiens, who loves spicy foods and travelling around the world. Mark Wiens needs to try this place out. My friends, family, adults, and kids are very happy with the food. Not all foods are spicy. There are non-spicy foods for kids too. And you also can request the spicy levels that you like. This is definitely the spot for family dinner events and lunch with friends. I would rather eat healthy foods here than eat other quick foods outside.

I visited this restaurant last night with some friends, and we ordered a few dishes to share. The Young Bamboo & Beef Casserole was super comforting, with tender beef and fresh bamboo that soaked up all the rich flavors. The Green Peppercorn Fish really brought the heat with those Sichuan spices—spicy but so addictively numbing. The Boneless Pork Knuckles were surprisingly soft and flavorful, with just the right amount of kick, and the Stir-Fried Kidney had a unique, earthy flavor that grew on me with each bite. The highlight for me, though, was the Frog Dry Pot. The spices were spot on, and the frog was cooked perfectly—not something I’d typically order, but I’m glad I tried it. Portions were generous, and the staff was attentive. Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!

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.

Krispy Kreme - the donuts aren't made here, but they're still the delicious style. Staffers are brusque, though, not particularly friendly if you're browsing the window. Order to the side line and come back to the other side to pick up your orders. Reminds me of the soup guy from Seinfeld! (not so strict, but just a related memory). Located on the "upper level" underneath Madison Square Garden, close to the circular waiting area about half way between 7th and 8th Avenues.
Hank Chang - 4 months ago

Awesome Krispy Kreme! Even though it’s underground where the train station is, there is always a large selection of donuts available. Even if the line looks long, don’t be discouraged - it’s very fast moving. Donuts have always been fresh and it’s a very clean storefront! Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re starting, finishing, or even mid-way through your commute! Note: On National donut day, they DO give free donuts. Nothing beats their classic glazed donut. Pros: -Amazing donuts, super fresh and warm -Wide range of donuts available -Friendly staff Cons: -Sometimes a long line - but it does move relatively fast
Leah Cummings - 3 years ago

Best place to get fresh, tasty donuts. Their donuts start from $2.19 which is worst it for the way these donuts taste. This is a great place to get your donuts from since its usual not busy so there’s no wait. They bring out special new ones for each holiday and season which is really something to be exited for. Overall if you’re looking for a great donut go to any krispy creme but go here if you don’t want to wait in a line.
Danielle Bourne - 3 years ago

My most part of the visits to NYC is to stop by at any krispy Kreme store and pickup the donuts and fresh coffee…. Amazing place to have the donuts and you ll have the wide variety of options to choose. My mosy fav is the glazed original donut and the kreme filled donuts. The one here in NYC Penn station is very good, nice service and they are as quick as possible to get you the best. Dont miss out visiting this one if you are waiting for the train…

We recently visited Tick Tock Diner on 34th Street and had a great experience. We were seated promptly, and the food was served quickly. I ordered the Salmon Benedict, which was excellent, and the hashbrowns were cooked to perfection. The prices were surprisingly affordable, especially considering the prime location, just a block from Madison Square Garden. I would definitely return for another visit.

Right by Penn station, convenient, touristy, long wait, fast service, noisy, crowded, difficult to find seats, they have some long tables in the center of the restaurant where people get to share tables. Family and large groups friendly. Price is on the cheaper side. Service was very efficient as for taking orders, but afterwards the foods did take awhile to come out. To judge the food by a diner restaurant quality it was pretty good. Definitely recommend this spot if you don’t have anything else pre planned.
Starr Davis - 4 months ago

For New York, prices are reasonable and it’s in a cool diner setting. Food however is very basic, theme park quality mass produced and served on plastic plates, canteen style. Not authentic American diner style, although reasonable in price, very expensive for the quality of food. Would recommend looking elsewhere.
Aaron Payne - 3 months ago

The food was pretty good honestly. You come in and you’re sitted it’s busy but you usually get quick service I went around like midnight. The only reason I rated 4 stars is because the prices I paid around $20 for my Nutella French toast and we tipped. But this a great late night spot especially If you’re coming from a concert.

The host Eimear was so friendly and helpful making sure our stay was comfortable. Alanna was our waitress and she gave a great recommendation, checked in regularly, and was really nice. The atmosphere is laid back and looks elegant at the same time. Our food was so delicious and the drinks were perfect. Zero complaints. We saved this location as a favorite and will definitely be back.

7/10/24 Had not be here for some time. But went for lunch today with a friend. Sally our waitress greeted us with a beautiful smile and was very friendly and great! Ambiance food deco music is really nice. Thank you for making our stay a good one. Went to Tír na Nóg for the first with a friend. It was not empty there were only two servers. Food was good, Ambience was nice. Service was slow. When we finished we had to wait because one server was on the business call and the other on the other side attending others customers. When I signaled her to pay she signaled back so that I could get the attention of the server that was on the phone. So, I signaled both of them. I was a bit disappointed with the service. But, we try it another time to see if the service is better.

Such good food here. Burger was great, so were the pretzels. My husband got the roasted chicken which was incredibly good. They also had good non alcoholic drink options which is nice for a change.
Cheryl Bruder - a year ago

A warm and friendly atmosphere greets you as you walk in the door. All the staff were helpful and pleasant. A well kept Guinness in a 20oz glass is always good. The other cocktails were well made too. My first time at this location (did love the other- such a shame it’s now closed)
Graham Short - a year ago

It's a cozy and comfortable place to enjoy a nice drink and food. The low lighting is fairly relaxing, and the booths were comfortable to sit in. I came for a short stay but got to try out the pan roasted chicken, which was served with some nice assortment of vegetables (See Pic). The chicken had a nice crust to it, but overall, it was on the drier side, especially towards the middle. It's not that big of a deal as the vegetables and light sauce that came with it made up for the dryness. I came early I'm the day so I can't speak much on the nightlife scene.

Restaurant located inside Macy's (one below level). I went on Saturday, around 1.30pm, and I found a very small queue (just two couples waiting before us). I don't know if it is possible to make a reservation, but it would be a good idea to check. I went because it was a rainy day, and after shopping in Macy's, it was the best place to stay and have lunch (in the meantime the rain stops a little). We got a place very quickly, but because we chose the bar, however, other people who wanted a table had to wait more (very strange because I saw several empty tables). As a tip, if you order a club sandwich, try one for two people, because the portion is quite big. Being in the bar, the attention was good and kind.
Denisse ZT - 11 months ago

Located on the Lower level of the Macy’s is this bar and grill, seating took no time, but our server seemed to be the only one of staff that day so service took alittle longer. Great for a break from shopping. The lemonade and steak were delicious. The have a cool $33 appetizer and main section on the menu. Worth checking out
Melissa Holland - a month ago

Really enjoyed the food! The burger sliders and sweet potato fries were amazing. Typically, I don’t enjoy buffalo wings, but the ones from here were pretty good. I wouldn’t recommend getting any of their beverages besides water or soda. The peach iced lemonade I got had no taste at all.
Sumia Khan - 2 years ago

This place exceeded our expectations of a restaurant inside a department store... At the lower level, no less... Amazing deal at $32 for an appetizer and an entree... Salmon, chicken, burger are the options... Fresh guac or onion soup are options for appetizers... Relaxing laid back atmosphere... Away from the hustle and bustle of the store... Friendly and efficient staff... Yummy food.
Jess Smith - a month ago

The best food I’ve have had in a while. The chef was amazing at making the seafood meal. Tasty and melt in your mouth. Stephanie the waiter who served me was amazing, knowledgeable about the menu and exceptional customer service and table etiquette. Highly recommend this place. One happy belly who will be back.

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

I came here for the last restaurant week meal. Whereas the service was great and the portions decent, the food wasn’t anything special. It’s a decent restaurant to stop by for lunch but maybe not for a special occasion.

The best experience of our trip so far, especially as the NYY vs LAD baseball game was on, great food and atmosphere, 100% recommended for adults.
Stephen & Samantha Davies - 2 weeks ago

A great thing to do in NYC is to watch a game in (NFL on our case) a pub specifically we went to Mustang Harry’s be cause it is the support pub for all Ravens games. So the atmosphere was great. The pub itself is roomy spacious and comfortable and has lots of booths. Very pleasant for a family. Food is great and we were made to feel at home by our server Casey and joint owner Niall. Recommend it heartily.

Came here for Restaurant Week. Food and service were excellent. Steak was cooked medium rare as ordered. Fries could have been 1/3 salted and still taste salty. Will keep this as a new go to places for friends and family.
Lyteck Lynhiavu - 4 months ago

The food was awesome. We had the prime rib for two, and it was incredible. We had the calamari as an appetizer. It was tender and yummy. The service was great. I gave it a 4 for atmosphere because it was a little cramped and noisy, but that's what you get in most places in the city. They try to squeeze in as many tables as they can.
