Standing in line in the heat was worth every second, especially with how fresh everything was every morning! We all shared the Roast Pork and Roast Duck Rice Bowl. My FAVORITE was the roast pork. Seasoned so well and the crisp on the skin was perfection. On the bottom of the meat was some cabbage and then filled with rice. For the price, this was dangerous. Definitely wait in the line and get this if you ever need a quick bite.

The portions are generous for the price (only $6 and it's cash only), making it one of the best cheap eats in NYC. There's usually a line, but it moves quickly, and the whole experience is very much grab-and-go. No seating, just a delicious box of Cantonese roast meats to take with you. Definitely a must-try if you're in Chinatown and craving an affordable, satisfying meal!

Great tacos, fast service, lots of standing room, plenty of options. Delicioso jamaica too. This…read moreplace started as a tiny stand with zero seating in Chelsea Market back in 2013, founded by three friends, one from Tijuana, two from Brawley, California, none of them with any real restaurant background, they were architects who spent months in Tijuana learning family recipes before opening with $80,000 borrowed from one of their dads. It clearly worked: they've since grown to nine locations around Manhattan, and this Times Square outpost took over a corner of the old New York Times building back in 2017. The no-seating, standing-room setup is baked into the concept itself, not just this location. I don't love the location though, it's on a busy street in a very touristy area, which tracks, since that's exactly what it was built for. And yes, I was being a tour guide, taking friends and family to Times Square for what felt like the 80th time. At least the tacos make the trip worth it.

Fat Boys Burgers - A True Neighborhood Gem! As someone who…read moreknows good comfort food, Fat Boys Burgers has become my regular spot. They use quality beef with perfect seasoning - that ideal char outside, tender inside. The Onion Rings: Hands down, the greatest I've ever had! Perfectly crispy with sweet, tender onions inside. Worth the trip alone. The Experience: Classic burger joint vibes with friendly staff who take pride in their food. Fair pricing for the quality and portions you get. Bottom Line: Whether you want a classic cheeseburger or something with more flair, they deliver. Don't leave without trying those incredible onion rings! Rating: 5/5 stars - Definitely coming back!

Fat Boy... whoever you are... thank you!!!…read more If you have not heard about Fat Boy Burger...Go get you a Fat Boy Burger. I'm serious. I was craving a burger one night. I had me a nice, chill evening, a little buzz going, and I wanted a good burger. The place I originally wanted was closing, and I wasn't trying to go anywhere, so I hopped on DoorDash. I was about to change my whole order until Fat Boy Burger popped up. I looked at it and thought, "You know what... that looks good." Baby...Best decision I made that night. They had a combo deal going, so I ordered the Fat Boy Burger Combo with onion rings instead of fries, and of course I had to get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake. When I tell you... I don't know who Fat Boy is. I don't know how they thought of this. But baby...I love everything you do. I just need you to know that. Let's start with the onion rings. PERFECTION!!!! Perfectly fried. Nice and crispy, but not overly crispy. The onions stayed together when you bit into them, they weren't soggy, and that first crunch...Yeah. That's exactly what an onion ring is supposed to be. Now the burger...That bun. That sauce. Oh. My. God. The burger was juicy without grease running down my hands. Everything stayed together, every bite was balanced, and I still don't know what's in that sauce, but whatever it is...Don't change it. I was literally sitting in my house doing the little food dance. Y'all know the one. Just rocking back and forth because every bite is making you happier than the last. And that Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake? Gone. It was so good. The next time I ordered, I got one of their barbecue burgers, onion rings again (because why mess with perfection?), and a Fruity Pebbles milkshake. Same experience. Everything was hot. Nothing was soggy. The burger looked exactly like the pictures. Honestly, if you looked at the photos, you'd think I had eaten inside the restaurant instead of getting it delivered. That's how well everything was packaged. You can tell they actually care about what they're putting out. They care about the food. They care about the ingredients. They care about the presentation. And they care that you enjoy what you ordered. Because trust me... I enjoyed every single bite. Shout-out to Fat Boy Burger. Just know... Y'all will probably be seeing another order from me very, very soon.

We came here every time we're in Manhattan--my 14 year old daughter absolutely loves their burgers!…read moreShe loves them so much, we ate here two days in a row. This time at the Times Square location after seeing Oh! Mary. Classic cheese smashburgers paired with Mexican Cokes. It's easily one of the better smashburgers around--juicy patty, delicious sauce, grilled onions, pickles and a soft bun. The burgers are on the smaller side (not White Castle small, but my daughter usually eats two!), but at $6.50 for a single patty cheeseburger, it's a OK value. Don't skip the fries--they are crispy, delicious, and a generous portion for the price. Quick, easy, and fast! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and easygoing. One small snag at this location. My daughter requested, "no pickles." There were pickles in her burger. No biggie. She simply took them out and gave them to me. This location's supervisor overheard us. He apologized. We told him it was ok. No big deal. He didn't accept that. While we appreciated his standards, we felt put on the spot as much as his crew did. We felt bad for the cashier and made sure we told him we were sorry for how things went down. None of it was needed nor justified. Hence, the 4 out of 5 stars! Fast-casual vibe that feels a bit more low-key than standard fast-food joints. At this location there's a few booths, but they are usually occupied. We had to wait a few minutes until people left to get seats. 7th Street always hits!

Ambiance: I could see this place being very busy so having a seat is not guaranteed and the space looked clean and well taken care of. Food: well I order the fried chicken sandwich and added Cheddar Cheese to it (they have option between American & Cheddar) kept pickle, lettuce and tomato and I added to it Small fries. Well I would assure you that it is one of the best fries I have ever had and they taste so good and look at the portion, its amazing. The burger was great, I loved it honestly especially the Bun, sauce and pickles. I have one small remark regarding the chicken is that it need more marination either in slices or something cause it felt dry when biting into it. I also I wanna see a spicy chicken sandwich option as well.

My first time trying Raising Canes and I'm now a fan!…read more I was down by Aster Place picking up some band shirts on St Marks Place and was starving for dinner. This location is pretty large with plenty of seating, and decently clean considering how busy it was. They do have a bathroom you need a code to enter and it was also clean, They offer different meal combos to choose from. I chose the 3 chicken fingers meal and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The chicken fingers were large, juicy, tasty, lightly battered and fried just right. Not greasy at all. Came with crinkle cut fries, warm Texas toast, one Cane sauce, and a fountain soda. For $12 you get a decently portioned meal which hits the spot. I would try it again if in the area and craving chicken fingers. Not too bad for a fast food chain.

My group got Adobada Tacos and the seasoning on the pork was chef's kiss. Everything on top makes it even better. I definitely would get these more often if the line wasn't long, but when you are in the area it is worth a stop. Seating is absolutely nuts here. We had to bring our food down to the bottom stairs in order to get seating, but better find a place to enjoy these right away for the full experience!

It was good, but nothing beats an LA taco for me which is why I have to give it a 4 stars. Still worth trying if you're in NYC and craving tacos, but LA definitely has my heart on this one.

When you walk in, the menu is clearly visible above the register and they have burritos, quesadillas, and much more. The fam has always hyped the burritos, so I wasn't really looking to try anything else for my first time. I was on the fence between the chicken ranchero and seitan burrito. Since I had never had the latter before, I have to give it a try. I liked that there was an option for a spinach tortilla, I went with that. It was ready in about 10 minutes, and while it is indeed a take out spot, no one else was sitting inside, so we were able to occupy the four seats that were there. The burrito was humongous. I should have taken a picture of it, but I was so hungry and ready to dive in I just didn't. It was delicious. We all shared chips and a hefty amount of red salsa, that was surprisingly spicy. What a meal! We were lucky to just beat a big crowd of people. Folks were standing around waiting and pretty much the entire standing area of the little place to get orders. I'm glad I finally got to try and I would come back. The closest thing that I normally go to is the Nintendo store. I could definitely make it happen again.

Pretty mid burrito, unfortunately! I was really craving a burrito and I live in the neighborhood so…read moreI decided to support local instead of going to a chain. Sadly this did not hit the way I wanted it to. I got pollo asado and the chicken wasn't seasoned very well. The burrito was super loaded with rice and beans which would be acceptable if there was more flavor going on. I'd even be happier with more cheese and sour cream but those were both lacking too. Overall very average, which is sad for Hell's Kitchen as we don't really have any good spots to quickly grab a delicious burrito. They do have a LOT of vegetarian and vegan replacement options on the menu which is cool! Can't vouch for the flavor or quality of those though.

The combinations of spices, sauces, and textures feel intentional and unique, especially with the South Asian influence throughout the menu. Portions are big, flavors are bold, and this is definitely the type of place you go when you want something indulgent and packed with flavor. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Tikkaville Sandwich One of the more interesting chicken sandwiches I've had. The tikka sauce, mint chutney, pickled onions, and coleslaw all come together in a way that really works. Flavorful, layered, and memorable. The Clucking Waffle Sandwich was spicy with more of a buffalo-style flavor than I expected. Definitely a lot to handle in sandwich form. Personally, I'd rather eat the chicken and waffle separately than together, but the flavor still hits. The Pataka Fries were another standout, saucy, flavorful, and loaded enough to almost be a meal on their own. Service: Quick and efficient, fits the fast-casual energy. Plates From My Visit: Clucking Waffle Sandwich Tikkaville Sandwich Pataka Fries In Conclusion: A bold and flavorful chicken spot with distinctive spices and creative combinations that stand out from the usual fast-casual lineup.
