On the way to a basketball game at MSG, my husband and I realized - we need food!…read more Didn't have a plan in mind, but Emperor Dumpling caught our eye as we walked by (looked clean, smelled good, and it wasn't crowded so hopefully we could get in and out quickly). I was happy to see certain items on the menu were designated as vegetarian. If I lived in town I would come back and try all their veggie friendly options. The small order of veg dumplings was a very reasonable price and portion. I thought they were well stuffed with veggies. I was a little disappointed with the dumpling wrapper- i prefer a lighter softer wrapper. But overall I still ate it all, and it was a quick nice snack. My husband really enjoyed his orange chicken with rice and veggies. It was a huge portion- he was only able to eat half of it. Great value.

We wanted something quick and saw this place had okay reviews, so we gave it a shot. We ordered the…read morechicken teriyaki, pork soup dumplings, and spring rolls. The pork soup dumplings arrived literally spilling pink/red liquid that looked like blood. My mother had never tried soup dumplings before, so we were hoping for a fun experience, but she immediately spit it out. I brought it back and showed the staff the uncooked pork and the blood/red liquid on the napkin. They simply re-steamed them and brought them back except now there was no soup left inside the dumplings at all. The chicken teriyaki was tough and chewy, almost like jerky, as if it had been overcooked on an extremely hot grill or deep fried too long. The spring rolls were mediocre at best, with vegetables inside that had a mushy, paste-like texture. Very disappointing. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the rice. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

We hopped in line but waited less than a minute because the service was incredibly fast. I managed to snatch a table within 30 seconds, and my husband got our food in less than two minutes. The service was fantastic! The food was actually really good--we got the chicken sandwich, which features three chicken tenders with lettuce and their special sauce, served with french fries and a Coke. Everything was delicious and very well priced. Getting a seat and having such quick service made everything work out perfectly. I also loved the ambiance of the store, they play cool music and the decor is great, especially the disco balls! Después de un concierto en el Prudential Center, regresamos a Penn Station y estábamos hambrientos. ¡Por suerte, este lugar estaba justo enfrente de la estación del LIRR! Hicimos fila pero esperamos menos de un minuto porque el servicio fue increíblemente rápido. Logré conseguir una mesa en 30 segundos y mi esposo trajo la comida en menos de dos minutos. ¡El servicio fue fantástico! La comida estuvo riquísima; pedimos el sándwich de pollo, que viene con tres 'chicken tenders' (tiras de pollo), lechuga y su salsa especial, acompañado de papas fritas y una Coca-Cola. Todo estuvo delicioso y a muy buen precio. El haber conseguido mesa y que nos sirvieran tan rápido hizo que todo saliera perfecto. También me encantó el ambiente del lugar; ponen música genial y está muy bien decorado, ¡me gustaron mucho las esferas de disco!

This was so disappointing. I'd heard so much hype about Raising Canes coming to NY, so when I…read morefinally walked across this location while starving in Penn Station I thought oh, this must be the moment. I ordered the three finger combo. What came out was just plain sad looking. Tiny chicken fingers, barely cooked fries. The Raising Cane's sauce was good but the vessels to that sauce were so lacking. The breading on these chicken fingers was nothing special and again, so so small. Service was fast at least, but the place itself was dirty and virtually every table needed a wipe down. I know, I know, it's Penn Station, it's supposed to be a little grimy. Honestly, if these chicken fingers weren't so tiny and my fries were properly cooked I could deal with a little grime. But come on.

They were out of falafel by the time it was my turn in line, so I had to wait 15 minutes for a fresh batch. The food was pretty good! And the falafel was delicious, especially having been freshly made. They even gave me extra to apologize for the wait. My only complaint is that the side pita that came with the meal was stale and hard, which is why I deducted a star. Overall, it was a good meal!

I took my mom to Chirp for Mother's Day lunch. Based on the website photos I was expecting a proper…read moresit down restaurant with table service. That is not what Chirp is. They have seats. But you order at the front, pick up your own food, box it yourself when you are done, and discard your own trash. I was the server today. That should be noted upfront because the website does not exactly make that clear. That said, the food was good. I got a stir fry dish with beef, fries, tomatoes and platanos. Mama bear got a Spanish chaufa which is basically the Peruvian version of fried rice. She seemed to enjoy it. I also got a side of squash soup which was pretty good. We washed it all down with Jarritos, the Mexican soda. Solid choice. Now the restroom situation. Chirp does not have a public restroom. My mom was bothered by that and I could see her starting to make it a thing. I had to nip that in the bud. I get it, I understand, but that is not the hill I die on. No restroom, no worries. It is what it is. The cashier was nice. The food got me full quick. I brought some home for wifey since she is a fan of Spanish food too. Overall Chirp is fine for what it is. It is more of a quick meal and delivery spot than a dinner service restaurant. If you go in knowing that you will probably enjoy it. If you go in expecting a proper sit down experience like I did, you might be caught off guard. Now you know.

It's an absolute unit of a sandwich. Replacing pickles and mayo with red onion and mint chutney? Mental. Chef is a straight-up genius for that one. ​Grabbed the mini samosas on the side and washed the fire down with a Thums Up.

New York has no shortage of burger joints, but an Indian burger spot? It was a first for me, and…read moreRowdy Rooster made sure it was a memorable one. A classic NYC hole-in-the-wall, this place is almost designed to be missed. Blink, check your phone, or dodge one too many pedestrians, and you've walked right past it. Try not to, it's worth the stop. Pricing sits a little on the higher side for a combo, but let's be honest - this is New York. The burgers are bold, satisfying, and built to impress. I went for the chicken and veggie sandwiches, both dressed with a mango lime sauce that genuinely were very flavorful. The tomato aioli on the side was another win. And the fries? Crispy, golden, and dusted with a Cajun-meets-Indian spice blend that somehow makes complete sense and zero sense at the same time - in the best way. Rowdy Rooster is a must-visit: come ready for real Indian heat and flavor.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 9 Overall: 9 I am not an expert in West African cuisine, but all I can say about the food here is, "Holy shit! It's good!" The setup inside this dimly lit restaurant had a bunch of steam tables offering various beef and chicken dishes, a handful of rice options, and a bunch of salads/fruits. Having no idea what we were looking at, we asked the friendly owner for some advice. After some contemplation, two of us made a plate with all beef over some jollof rice, and another with basically all chicken items over a different type of flavorful rice. We knew it was too much, but our goal was to figure out what we would come back for. Honestly, I did not enjoy most of the chicken because it's sitting in steam trays getting overcooked. Not saying they were terrible, but it all fails in comparison to all the great beef offerings. OMG! You really can't go wrong with any of the beef dishes. My cuisine rating is really based on the various beef items, the yummy veggies, and both amazing rice. The current price is $10.99 per pound regardless what you fill your box with, except a couple of items. We filled our two boxes with about 4lbs of food. Obviously too much, but we got to try many things. No doubt I will be back asap for round two.
