Small space inside but you don't need much space to make bussin sandwiches. Walking or public transportation is preferred. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here after a long day doing booth duty at a summit and was starving from not eating the entire day. Fortunatley the place was pretty quiet since it was 2pm and I got my orders in. For sandwiches, I ended up getting the Favolosa and the Italiana. The favolosa had a delicious artichoke cream and salami that was a banger. The italiana had all your great italian cured meats as well as a truffle cream sauce that made the umami bomb even more umami. So good! THE FINAL BAMBOO: The two sandwiches were around $45, a little pricier on the sandwich side but man are they delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in NYC.

The La Paradiso sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachios...God's creation!!So when I heard they were coming to NYC, I was SO excited. Okay... it was good, but it was not Italy good. My focaccia didn't taste as fresh, and my sandwich felt rushed;like it wasn't made with love. It still tasted good, but it was definitely not the same magical experience as that first bite I had in Rome. The lemon drink definitely get it. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I had the original in Italy, but I wanted to love it more!

The menu is huge but you can hardly see the menu and have to order so quickly you hardly have time to read it all.

I love the sandwiches at the original location in Brooklyn, but found them to be just like any…read moreother bodega at this location. First of all, this location is much smaller and the sandwiches are also smaller. Part of the charm is watching them chop up your sandwich fillings, which this was done behind the counter. I ordered one Chopped Turkey on a Hero ($10.99) and one Chopped on a Hero ($11.99) with Cheese (+$1). The ingredients are well mixed in, which is what makes a chopped sandwich so good. It was a bit more bread than filling than I liked. I can't help but compare the OG location when there was so much more filling. This location is also quite the distance, but walkable to Central Park where we enjoyed it.

But we ordered one at this location and the person preparing used a squeezer bottle for the Calabrian chili paste/oil and soaked the sandwich. We could barely eat it. There was almost no burrata - no fennel shavings just arugula. We could not even taste the prosciutto. So the sandwich was horrible. Why would you use Calabrian chili and apply like ketchup ?? We gave them feedback and asked for more burrata and they said they would have to charge extra. Even tho we showed them how little there was in the sandwich . We will not be back to this or any other shop in this chain. Bad food. Bad service. Bad combination.

Quality chicken and a solid burger that both tasted good, plus their buffalo and honey mustard sauces were good too. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was their chocolate milkshake, there was a flavor about it that I wasn't loving, and I'm guessing it's the chocolate syrup they used. Plenty of seating and a great menu though!

It's delicious and I hope I can stretch my stomach out someday!! No matter what location you are close to I'm recommending!

Not too long ago I was near this location in midtown on the east side and dropped in for a quick lunch. Turkey and Provolone sub, with all the toppings (Mike's Way) on a white bread sub roll. Made it a combo with a drink and chips. More than acceptable and was prepared correctly. Staff was ok and I had my meal pretty quickly. Jersey Mike's is nothing fancy in an area where you can get sandwiches and lunch at many places, but it does the job at a reasonable price.

I know it's in a very busy area with a lot of tourists, so I won't really dock them on that. I got the Shanghai spring rolls and the pork soup dumplings, and both were very good. The soup dumplings were actually quite large, but the spring rolls are pretty small. Came out to over 20 bucks, which is reasonable but more than it was. A stirfry noodle dish is like $25 now! On that note, it's really nice inside and fun to sit at the "bar" and watch them make the dumplings. A great option if you're in the area and have a craving!

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office. I thought this spot would look like a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the space is actually decent with a full dining area. They do have a lunch menu, which is in the last page of the menu. Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.
