A Taiwanese takeout place, Quick and not expensive, I will definitely comeback and order takeout here. Froyo is $8, not cheap but the portion is good, peanuts brittle and cilantro flakes and taro drizzles goes will together. read more

My favorite taiwanese breakfast is finally back, now in midtown with an UPGRADE! I was the biggest fan ofGulp's breakfast menu until they stopped serving it in LIC and Jersey City a while ago. I literally RUN to their midtown when they re-launched their fantuan and soy milk, alongside a NEW black seasame overnight oats! *** Breakfast menu available weekdays 8-10am ＊Fan Tuan 飯糰 (+ free drink) $10 ** Literally an Asian burrito lol. Dare I say, this version is even better than their old one! It's almost twice the size, packed with Taiwanese sausage, pork floss, tea egg, dried radish, youtiao, and pickled cabbage. The sticky rice-to-filling ratio is perfect. Half was already super filling, so you can easily get two meals out of it. Even better, it comes with a free drink! Their fantuan reminds me of 粢飯 in Hong Kong, and it tastes so nostalgic to me. ＊Iced Soy Milk 冰豆漿 $4 * Their iced soy milk is my favorite. It's not too sweet and comes without ice. Nothing feels more comforting than soy milk and fan tuan for breakfast. ＊Black Sesame Overnight Oats 芝麻糊燕麥 $9 A new breakfast item! My eyes lit up when I saw they made a 芝麻糊 inspired overnight oats. They use sugar-free black sesame paste, so it's not sweet at all, and you can tell how nutty it is from that rich, almost-black color. ＊Ham Scallion Pancake Wrap 火腿蔥油餅捲 $7 You can get the scallion pancake wrap à la carte for $7 or $10 with a drink. They also have a chicken cutlet version. This one comes rolled with three thick pieces of ham, egg, and spicy mayo. Not as memorable as the fan tuan, but still a solid hot breakfast option. Manifesting they'll also bring back the taiwanese sandwiches and re-launch breakfast in their LIC and JC locations! read more

On this day, I wanted something new but at the same time comfort food. I heard about their LIC location, but didn't know there is a location in Midtown (Hue House). This was perfect so I didn't need to take the train into Queens. I found the place and couldn't decided on what to order...sweet potato fries with plum seasoning, popcorn chicken, radish cakes, chicken cutlet or pork chop. Finally decided on Beef Noodle Soup was a bit pricey but you are in Midtown Manhattan and since I haven't had it in a while. It was a little salty for me but overall it hit the spot. The employees were nice and answered my questions about froyo and the drink machine. It took a while to prepare but it gave me time to check out the drink machine which I want to try next time. They also mentioned that the breakfast is available. Guess what? The next morning, I ordered ham scallion pancake wrap. This time the store wasn't open but they were selling the items in front of their store. It was quick and easy. Go check them out. read more

The food was pretty good, and they give you a very substantial amount of food--definitely a generous portion. The downside was the huge wait. I placed my order and came back about 30 minutes later, but still had to wait a bit longer. The lady working there was very nice, polite, and patient, especially considering she had to deal with one particularly difficult customer. She handled the situation very professionally and never lost her composure. The food tasted very good, but it was a little different from what I expected. The rice was on the moist side, possibly because they were having trouble keeping up with the volume of orders. Overall, very tasty, generous portions, and good service--but be prepared to wait! read more

Ordered delivery for lunch. It was delivered on time and the packaging was nice and secure. It came in those insulated bags that a lot of restaurants are using now. I ordered the Chicken & Lu Rou Rice Bento. It came with a side of tea egg, glass vermicelli noodles, and boiled veggies (I think Napa cabbage?). The sides were okay and kinda bland. I thought the tea egg could have been marinated longer, it didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. The Lu Rou faan was flavorful, but I feel like they make it differently than traditional Lu Rou faan although I'm no expert. When I look at it, it looks like they add pork floss to it which I'm not mad about, I love pork floss. Just an interesting take on Lu Rou faan. read more

The Gulp breakfast has recently been going a bit viral so I thought I'd give it a try. The fan tuan wasn't my favorite, but still very homey/nostalgic. It was super packed, filled with pork floss, egg, you tiao, sausage, etc. I did really enjoy both of the scallion pancake wraps and the soy milk though! Very simple and hearty. I would come before 9AM to avoid a line. read more

Update for their breakfast. Ordering online is easy but unnecessary. Both the food and drinks are premade and ready to grab and go from the cart setup outside, just like Los Tacos nearby. Wraps are as advertised. Scallion pancake, egg, a slice of lettuce, sauce and your choice of fried chicken or ham. I went with the chicken. It's a decent offering, though a bit heavy. I wanted a punchier sauce to offset the greasiness of the scallion pancake. Went with a black tea that's slightly sweet but iced soy milk is also available. Doesn't really stand out. An acceptable breakfast, especially as an alternative to their much more popular competitor at Los Tacos, a stone's throw away. I'll leave the overall rating at 4 stars but that's for the main restaurant offerings across lunch and dinner. Breakfast alone is at 3. read more

Gulp - Taiwanese Pork Chop Rice Bento - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Can't believe the combo was so cheap!! Definitely worth it if you're trying to get a hearty breakfast. It wasn't the most amazing meal but good for the price point. There was a lot of stuffing inside which was nice, but felt like it needed some sort of kick to it. The soy milk was yummy too! A little on the sweeter side. read more

This seemingly innocuous looking place offers delicious Taiwanese bentos. I always get the lu rou fan and it never disappoints! Space is small but you can get takeout. Service is fast. Fried chicken is delicious and I will keep coming back. read more

Gulp - Lu Rou Fan (Braised Pork Over Rice) Bento - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered Gulp through DoorDash today, and honestly, I was pretty disappointed with the food. I ordered the pork chop bento box. It looked similar to a Taiwanese-style bento, which got me excited, but unfortunately the pork chop was dry. The vermicelli on the side was also sweeter than I expected, and the overall meal just didn't really work for me. Maybe the experience is better when dining in, but based on this takeout order, I didn't really enjoy the food. One thing I will give them credit for is the packaging--everything was packed neatly which I appreciated. read more

I really enjoy the simplicity of taiwanese dishes. They nailed the super savory, comforting dishes of taiwan! I got the beef noodle soup, which had the most tender, gelatinous beef shank! Perfect, with a good balance of traditional flavors and some pickled topping which balanced out the super rich broth. The drink selection was also awesome. They had some crowd pleasers but also some genuinely asian, nostalgic flavors like plum!The posters and train-style decorations were all very comforting. Server was genuinely passionate about the place, and found their attentiveness very fun. read more

Good takeout spot for Taiwanese. The rice dish was excellent with chicken. Milk tea is premaid and not adjustable. It's got a lot of sugar and delicious, but unfortunately premade. Love the Mala fries. Fried chicken was also excellent. Satisfied with the takeout and will try dine in next time. read more

Honestly my new go to spot for froyo! I love the Asian inspired flavors they have and toppings. It is small and they have no seating due to it being connected to a restaurant (located by the cashier in the front). Would love to see this place open its own independent location. The ube drizzle and peanut & cilantro combo was A1. read more

Gulp is in the Hue House and without knowing any better I thought the whole building just operated under the hue house. Lol. I brought a taiwanese friend there as an authority and we ordered a few things between us. We sat at the counter so our bartender friend gave us some enthusiastic recommendations (I like when they describe dishes as 'i can eat that all day' or equivalent). Midtown being midtown and midtown prices aside, the good was pretty good and Taiwanese friend endorsed, and the service was friendly and helpful. I'll be back for a date night or something. read more

I first heard of Gulp, a Taiwanese restaurant from social media and friends. I was looking forward to finally being able to try it out. Especially since it is so close to the office or where I work and it's right by Grand Centrall Terminal. Gulp is located inside Hue House, which is a four story building, and the restaurant itself is on the first floor. As soon as I walked inside, I was greeted by the staff. The place was very busy and bustling with people. A lot of foot traffic. The staff were very friendly and happy to walk me through the menu and answer all of my questions. Which made my experience even better. I ordered the Chicken & Lu Ruo Rice Bento Box, which I was told is a favorite and one of their recommended dishes. I really enjoyed it and I thought it was very flavorful. While I liked my meal, I'm definitely curious to come back and try their other items off the menu. Overall, a good meal and great lunch spot. read more

Ok, let me start with the pros: -Cute train-themed ambience and decor with posters of Taiwanese pop artists. -At least the staff tried. Sigh...the bad...my friend and I came here for lunch. We're both Taiwanese (she was raised there before immigrating, and I was born here but have dual citizenship), so we have high standards when it comes to Taiwanese food. My friend is much more brutal with her honesty, and I love her for that. She got a vegan chicken Sanbeiji...it was so terrible and unpalatable, she sent it back and had it swapped for beef noodle soup. Noodle and beef and popcorn chicken were decent, like bare minimum of good. Nothing memorable. The broth was a bit too sweet. As we were eating, the staff was VERY LOUDLY venting right by our table about all the things going wrong with orders and technical difficulties. When it came to payment, I did tap. Usually waiters hold the card reader machine in front of me and look away while I pay and tip. Our server was gripping the machine tightly, was positioning it in a way where she would aggressively glare at what I was inputting, and I had to be assertive because the tip default options were 20%, 22% and 24%. This is ridiculous price gouging for tips. I had to give them a custom tip at a more standard rate. After I tipped, while my friend and I each went to the restroom, the waitress confronted each of us individually, asking how the service and food was because, according to her, "We usually get tipped way more," and went on to gripe about how her level of service she gave us, including swapping out my friend's meal, is not something they're supposed to do. Um... My friend venmoed me her half of the meal with the note "Shitty Taiwanese Food" lol read more

Will def come back to try other goods. read more

The lu rou fan really tasty, probably my favorite thing there. Actually, I think this is my favorite. I've had in New York City to date which is crazy. The next best I had was in Taiwan, so this is really stand out to me. The pork was so juicy and tender and so buttery on the rice. They also have really good drinks and amazing service. I would definitely come back. It has such an intimate date-like vibe and would recommend! read more

Great addition to the midtown neighborhood. Have eaten here and also ordered take out in two different days. For take out: got myself the popcorn chicken box. It came with cucumbers, cabbage and half a boiled egg. It was good, just wished the chicken to rice ratio was better proportioned as there was much more rice than the chicken. Eating there: the restaurant offers lunch sets. For $20 I got myself the minced pork noodles. It came with popcorn chicken, cucumber and cabbage. It was good and I wish there were more noodles as it was really tasty. The chilli sauce was top notch. I am happy there is another lunch spot around the office! read more

I was excited to finally try Gulp since it's walking distance from the office. I placed my order through the kiosk, simple enough! I ordered the minced pork noodles. They were just okay, but a bit too salty and heavy on the MSG. Unfortunately, that didn't sit well with me afterward. The mala fries (the only item I was really looking forward to) were a big letdown. They weren't spicy at all and had no numbing "mala" effect. Instead, they were oddly sweet. The seasoning genuinely tasted like Fruit Loops. I know that sounds strange, but you have to try it to understand what I'm talking about. I had my colleagues try it and they all agreed. $12 for what was basically a McDonald's small-sized portion... I might give it another shot and stick to fried items next time, but overall this was a miss. Highly disappointed... read more

SO yummy and such friendly staff! We had drinks upstairs as well and the drinks were so yummy!

I was very excited to find a new Taiwanese restaurant near my office and decided to get takeout from here. The menu looked legit and had many popular Taiwanese dishes that I wanted to try. Ultimately I went with the braised pork rice (Lu Rou Fan) bento + a side order of their chicken cutlet. Happy to report that everything tasted really good and I will definitely return to try out some of their other menu items. read more

Gulp - Lu Rou Fan (Braised Pork Over Rice) Bento - Taiwanese Near Me - New York, New York

Wonderful service and very yummy froyo would come again most definitely. They are definitely awesome!!!

Ordered the pork chop bento for lunch with high hopes, unfortunately the food missed by a mile. My order was packed nicely and food was hot, however everything from the braised (thought it'd be fried) pork chop to the sides to the Lou rou were all super bland, borderline tasteless. For the price the portion was passable, but would I order it again? Likely not. Not surprisingly as I have not come across a venue here in NYC that can get it just right, be it the OG Taiwanese style pork chop or the Lou Ro rice. And I've tried it all in my search. On to the next I guess. read more

Amazing drinks and food! Convenient takeout counter available and as a Taiwanese very happy this opened. Clean and friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

Love the food and drinks here ! Such a fun ambiance every time I visit. All the staff are always super kind. Can't wait to visit again soon

Ordered the braised platter for takeout with a side of Taiwanese sausage. It's been hard to get good braised items in the city so major props to them for figuring it out. Everything was very well seasoned and especially the turnips were tender and oozing with flavour. The sausage was also plump and bigger than I originally expected, though it is 4 apiece. Good balance of sweet and savoury without being too greasy. First time I made this order, have typically had one of their meal sets / the fried food. Would order again. read more

Great take out Taiwanese food place near midtown. I bought lu rou bento and fried platter to go.

Very good lunch spot in midtown. Authentic Taiwanese food and quick service. I had the beef noodle soup

veryyyyyyyyy verrrrrrryyyyy good! I love gulp and they are the best! traveler and 929... just a tad bit expensive

Very authentic Taiwanese food. This restaurant truly captures the essence of traditional Taiwanese cuisine. The very tasty lu rou fan (braised pork rice) is absolutely delicious--the tender pork belly is cooked to perfection and infused with rich, aromatic spices that make every bite memorable. The chicken chop is equally impressive, featuring crispy, golden-brown breading that contrasts beautifully with the juicy, flavorful chicken inside. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for the quality offered. The atmosphere feels authentic and welcoming, making it a fantastic spot for anyone craving genuine Taiwanese comfort food. Highly recommended for both first-time visitors and loyal customers. read more

Let's go Taiwan! Food is great. Lu Rou fan or chicken is great. Fun ambiance and good takeout too
