OMG this place is amazing. Mr Loyola attended to all our needs. All his recommendations were on point. He was super friendly and welcoming. The entire staff are nice and welcoming. We can definitely see they have a chemistry in please the customers. All the dishes were delicious.

I strongly believe that Bryant Park Grill is worth visiting primarily for its stunning outdoor seating area. The food, in my opinion, is rather average and nothing to write home about. On the other hand, I must commend the staff for being extremely welcoming and efficient. If you plan to enjoy the outdoor seating during warmer weather, my recommendation is to arrive early for lunch. Personally, I find the food to be quite bland and definitely overpriced. However, if your goal is to savor an appetizer and a drink while taking in the views, then this is the ideal spot for you. If you're solely interested in finding food around Bryant Park, you might want to consider visiting L’Adresse American Bistro or Los Tacos 1 instead.

I was fortunate to officiate a wedding here. Really attentive staff, attention to detail in the decor, delicious food presented nicely, lovely wine. The only slight inconvenience (not certain about accessibility, now that I think of it) was the basement lavatories.

Lovely space with beautiful views of the park. Sat outside under the tent on a beautiful day so win win. Service was very attentive and very polite and cheerful. Cocktail was tasty, but not spicy. Garlic and ginger shrimp was good but unless you grabbed a slice of ginger or garlic in the bite it just tasted like olive oil. The shrimp were not cleaned but I think that is my personal preference. Stir fry pea shoots were good but nothing memorable. The olive oil cake was good but I have had better. The tuile served with it was delicious. The blueberry ice cream was very good. I saw some salads and burgers being served that looked delicious and will be back again to try those.

The food was below average and pricey. The only item I loved was the side of fries with the burger. Also, for a reputable place my cutlery and plates were filthy.

Went here for a bachelor party with 9 others to celebrate and have a nice steakhouse dinner. The experience started out strong, and our server was very nice and informative. As the night went on the service got worse and worse. They bait you into ordering their still Fiji water bottles and then don’t bother to continue to ask you if you’d like another, instead they keep bringing them to the table, open them, and then charge you. 5 people at our table ordered the seafood and shellfish platter for $56/ person. There wasn’t even enough food on the platter for each person to have one of each of the items. A few other people ordered additional apps that he forgot to put in, so they never got them. Overall food was okay, steak was cooked well and sides were good. But for the prices, we all agreed we had better steak before. As the night went on our server was no where to be found. He offered us espresso on the house and then forgot about it, so we waited 30 minutes. Overall not worth the almost $3k check for this “upscale” steak house. It’s unfortunate, because I will probably avoid this place in other cities now.

I’ve been hesitant about trying STK because people would say it’s overrated. Glad I gave it a chance, I had an amazing experience. The food was great, I had one drink off the cocktail menu that had guava, but didn’t like the taste much. It was VERY strong though, so if that’s what you’re going for, do your thing 😂. The host Fabio was very attentive & making sure we were okay through out our visit. Now let’s get into our waitress Lorena, she made the experience 10/10! She was great & very honest with her recommendations. We didn’t feel rushed throughout our experience. She made sure our glasses were always filled with champagne. If we ran low on anything she made sure to always check on us or have someone else come while she took care of her other tables. We never felt like we were being ignored. Thank you so much for everything Lorena! Me & my best friend will be back.🤎

STK was an amazing and delightful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant and chic, making it the perfect setting for my birthday night out. The cocktail menu was impressive, featuring a variety of unique and classic options. I tried the Award Winning Spiced Watermelon and it was expertly crafted—balanced and flavorful. Fabio was absolutely wonderful and added a personal touch to our whole experience with his friendly demeanor and recommendations. The service was another highlight of the evening. Our server, Jenn, was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had everything we needed! Overall, STK exceeded my expectations with its fantastic food, creative drinks, and exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Wanted a nice fancy meal before a Broadway show and found lambs club. The service was fantastic, as well as the drinks. The food was tasty but not amazing and for the price a bit disappointing. The steak was good but the sauce lacked, and the potato was quite small, being smaller than the onion! The desert was quite in my taste with a berry jelly.

This is a very nice upscale restaurant on Times Square. I had a girls dinner with my friend. We had a really nice warm welcome and pleasant experience. The staff made sure we are comfortable and attentive. They came to greet us by our name to ensure our services are taken care. Indeed, knowledgeable and would recommend us options that cater to our taste buds. Every staff were highly professional. We will definitely come back again and let people know that the food are amazing as well!

This place was superior, had brunch with a friend here recently and it blew my sticks off. The decor was splendid and modern with a huge fireplace making it feel as if I was home in my mansion eating in the living room space. This also may have been the best burger I’ve ever had and well worth the price. Drinks come just as good as they look and strong. The staff was so professional I forgot I was eating in the heart of NYC. Totally recommend this place for This wanting not only a fine dining experience but good quality, elegance and supreme taste!

They are the best location for a birthday 🥳 or special occasion. they were so understanding yesterday of the size of the group and tried to accommodate as much for us (we called weeks in advance and were super flexible), the food was incredible, everybody loved it. The vibes are right. Would recommend! Katherine helped a lot to make this possible , I can’t remember the name of the server but it was a tall male (10/12/24 7:30 pm) amazingly good service overall. Northern lights sushi was a delight. A friend ordered the lambs and fell in love with it and the pure. The vegan friends in the group also enjoyed tons with the tofu/sushi. And of course we tried the skirt steak 111/10 😻 . Appreciate it tons.

The salmon and yellow tail sashimi were sensational. The tuna sushi wasn’t fresh. The dragon rolls were good. The overall atmosphere was loud and energetic. The service was a mixed bag of good at times but very slow for most of our time there.

One of the best places that I ever been!! The food is amazing, like a boom in your mouth with each meal and the service was one of the best thing of the night and the music too, another thing that I really loved about was the dessert my fav part!! I really enjoy this place and I’m looking forward to go soon✨

Tried crispy ride for the first time and I was a bit underwhelmed. Maybe the rice to fish ratio was off but I thought the fried crispy rice would be more flavorful than literal deep fried block of sushi rice. Lychee martini was good though.

It’s 5 minutes walk from Times Square. Food is just okay. The fact that they don’t have Calamari was a huge disappointment as that’s my default appetizer. Specialty rolls are also just okay. Service is good and ambience is great.

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.

Jul 24 Dinner 4 of us All very delicious food Service 9/10 quick but maybe because we are seated near the kitchen. See below. Ambience 7/10 maybe because we are seated at behind near the kitchen and under the stairs but overall the decor are nice. And the place is big inside.

It's a decent place for some Chinese and it's a pretty big space so we had no trouble being seated. The food was ok but suffering from the usual pitfalls of being very oily or fatty (especially the scallion pancakes). I only got through half of my portion of pork ribs before surrendering to it in shame. A strange point I had to mention about the shiitake mushrooms stir fry is that it has an ingredient in it that somehow numbs your mouth and leaves behind a strange, dry aftertaste. It's likely I'm just too white for these ingredients but I felt it's worth mentioning for other equally melanin challenged folks who may want to visit.

Came here for an early dinner a few days ago and from the food to the drinks to the service to the ambiance, this place is amazing. We were helped my Alex who made great recommendations, especially because some members of our group had dietary restrictions. I think the stars of the show for me were the eggplant and green beans, the mapo tofu, and the fried fish! Everything came out hot and fresh. We also had cocktails— mine was a Corpse Reviver #2 which was beautifully balanced and tasty. It complimented the food nicely. My friends were also really pleased with their drinks. If you’re going to dine at cafe china, I would recommend coming with people who want to share— family style is definitely the way to go here :)

We came here on weekday evening, and it’s pretty crowded and almost impossible to get a table without making reservations in advance. The food was okay - i enjoyed appetizers much more than the main dishes. Would look forward to trying other main dishes next time.

We really enjoyed this Chinese restaurant. We were 7 and they accommodated us without any problems. Food was delicious. Service very good as well. A very complete menu, with lots of different plates to choose from. If you are not a fan of spicy food, just make sure you order mild, since Szechuan food is known for its spiciness.
Peter Hey (RV PLANET) - 11 months ago

Great food at decent price. Very authentic szechuan delicacies at NYC!
Jae Wook Jeong - 3 weeks ago

I was surprised of bright flavour of Szechuan Gourmet Special Fried Rice because it wasn’t cooked traditionally. It had dried baby fish and baby shrimp. Also, I liked slightly spicy Jellyfish salad. It was crunchy and without seafood flavor.

Came here after craving Chinese food. Portions were huge, and because we spoke mandarin and Cantonese, the servers were helpful and quite friendly. If you're craving Chinese food, this place would definitely hit the spot.

We experienced a great meal with tasty lobster with nice staff. No rush with a bill on the table directly after you swallowed your last bite of food. Food was great and the drinks were very nice. My hands were very sticky so I asked if I could use the shower to clean myself, staff have never heard this before and laughed out loud. I can recommend this restaurant if you visit New York!
Mr. RROBB - a month ago

Lobster 🦞 was supper delicious and perfectly cooked. Cocktails were quite better than before. The best part was boiled shrimps with garlic and biscuits. Service was fast and Pratik helped us a lot. We are %100 satisfied. Everything was great 😊 so it can't be a coincidence. They do their best to provide the best service👍🏼🔥

This is a really big location with an elevator and stairs to the second floor dining area. Ate here while visiting NYC. Server was pretty goood and food was decent. Manager was very friendly and even gave our table a complimentary dessert. The restaurant was clean as well.

Decided to buy some of their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits to go. The hostess/ greeter is very nice and works quickly. She had to call someone to take my order. It took about 10 minutes for the other person to come down to take the order. After taking the order, it was another 25 minutes for the order to come out. I only ordered biscuits (no seafood). There was only one chair (that wasn't in the first floor sitting area) while waiting. You have to walk around toward the back to pay for the order. They don't accept tap to pay for payment. This includes: Apple Pay / Google Pay. You MUST have the physical card or cash to pay. They did not warn me before. There is a sign by the register in thr back. For those that were dining in and were sent to the second floor, the elevator wasn't working so they had to go up maybe 1.5/2 flights of stairs.

Very nice evening with my friend. Waitress was nice. I think she was busy, so she didn’t attend to us very often. We made a reservation. I think this location is a bit more expensive than the normal locations. They have a mandatory 18% gratuity.

"The Kathi Roll Company in New York offers unbeatable value for money with their delicious rolls. Their Anda Chicken roll is a must-try, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked ingredients. The prices are incredibly affordable, making it an ideal spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommended for a tasty and budget-friendly dining experience!"

I tried all the 3 veg options and all tasted great, the masala chai was also flavorful. Should visit if you want some Bombay style Frankie’s.

My to-go place in NYC. Looking to grab something Indian while you are near to time square, this is your place. Wide variety of Kathi rolls - veg and non-vegetarian both. Aloo chips are 🔥, masala tea is good too. Price is reasonable, no parking place you will be able to find so plan accordingly.

Let me start by saying that the food was pretty good and flavourful but the service on the other hand was really bad. One of the server was obviously drunk and wasn’t paying attention to the customer. Took him more than 10 mins to take our empty plate. At the end we ask for the bill and after 15 mins we still haven’t received our bill another server had to give it to us cause the first one obviously forgot and was to busy talking and taking shot with his friends.

Nice cute bar. Went in here for a drink and a quick snack before our show started. Greeted by a friendly server who went above and beyond to give us our order in a timely manner. I had the margarita (think it was strawberry) and my friend had the passion drink. The frites were amazing and that mayo was out of this world. Will definitely be back again
Nthabie Serunye - 4 months ago

Very important. If you are getting the steak frittes make sure medium rare. I got medium well 👎. If not you will be eating a spare tire. The french onion soup was ehhhhh mediocre!! The moules are delicious and the beer selection is cool if u like belgian. I got the triple ipa duvel and was ok and pricy. Like the bar atmosphere and probably great to catch a soccer game.
Oscar Filipe - 5 months ago

A cosy place with Belgian beers, some of which I haven't had since I was last in Belgium. I'd say this was a treat more than somewhere I would frequently drink since (understandably) the prices are on the higher side for the fact there are some more unusual/imported beers. Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food.
Rich Adams - 5 months ago

Great beer selection and atmosphere. Frites aren’t necessarily Flemish style and they are delicious. La Chouffe and Tripel Karmeliet for beers, no questions asked, these folks know their stuff.

We just arrived in NYC and were absolutely famished! This hidden gem truly hit the spot. The turkey clubhouse sandwich was delicious, and I would say the best I have ever had! My sons thoroughly enjoyed their burgers and my husband loved his Greek salad. The service was wonderful. We will definitely return on future visits to NYC (maybe even again this visit...)!

I love diners. I don't go to NYC to eat at chain fast food, so other than the many pizza slice places (most standing room only), I consider the diners in the city to be some of the best bargains around as it includes table service and a seat and generally reliable food at a moderate price. From the outside, this doesn't have any diner vibes at all but the inside was a little better (although pretty empty overall). We hit this place at 6PM on a Friday night and immediately got a nice quiet window booth. Service was not particularly friendly but it was prompt and they checked in often and kept our glasses full. The food was reasonably priced and average quality diner food. I got a $23 omelet special which include home fries, toast, and bottomless coffee and was definitely stuffed. We were quickly (under an hour) served a full meal in the nice air conditioning for around $25 right in the heart of NYC.....I don't know I would walk many many blocks to come to this particular dine, but if you are in the area, no complaints here.
Jason Zahn - 3 months ago

I like diners a lot. I'm happy to have a city full of them. Red Flame is average in a good way; you want a regular diner, no frills, not expensive with good diner food, go here. Oh, Their pastrami sandwich is pretty good. It's $12, small, but if I'm starving I get two (or the cornbeef) and double them up . Oink 🐷. Service is always friendly and staff seems jovial.

Vacation with son in NY. Having breakfast and all the food was delicious! Staff is on point, and food came out pretty quick. If in the area and hungry for breakfast anytime of day, this is the place! The have a good variety of foods made here. Won't be disappointed. Enjoy if you stop here to eat!

Reasonably priced food with great customer service. We had breakfast here twice, and they were rubbing like a well-oiled machine. Very small wait to get the food and it was hot. We would eat here again.
