So my 2nd time to try this place since it's so highly rated for NY. It's good don't get me wrong…read more But again, being from Cali, we have some of the best tacos around. So for these, they were ok. This location always seem to have a line because of the location. You wait and then you order. They need to have more descriptions up before you get to the register. By the time you get to register, I didn't have time to read everything before I had to order since there was a line behind me. You get your ticket and then give it to someone preparing the food and then you wait. Then you have to find a place to get it, good luck when it's busy. Also grab your salsas. Worth a try since it's a stable.

I was looking for a somewhat healthier meal with veggies and protein, and KOBA checked those marks…read moreand more! They have a big menu to choose from spanning from fried rice, kimbap, bibimbap, to stews and more. Their signature "make your own bowl" had so many options, came generously portioned, and was so colorful and tasty :D The customization starts with a base: white rice, multigrain rice, japchae (noodles), or salad bases and moves onto a loooong list of toppings. A few of the more interesting ones like bellflower and fern brake roots were sold out when I ordered for dinner. And who else offers a fried egg for no additional charge as a topping? The toppings are yummy by themselves because they are already cooked or marinated. Definitely a great way to get one's vegetables! Proteins include bulgogi, pork belly, garlic chicken, spicy chicken, tofu, and even spicy squid. For kalbi, there's an additional cheese. The bulgogi was well seasoned and hit the spot! A little on the sweeter side but I didn't mind. The texture of the meat is mushier than the usual bulgogi, more of a Philly cheesesteak texture, but tasty nonetheless~ Don't count on this being authentically Korean. The bowls come with sauce options, but everything was so flavorful that I didn't use any! I agree on the hefty portion size; it's enough for a big meal if you're hungry and otherwise two lighter portions. Since the flavors, color, tastes, and flavors were so delightful, I finished it all so don't count on it lasting for multiple meals :) Patrons can order at the kiosks up front or schedule online to pickup. There's plenty of seating that looks fairly comfortable. Service was friendly enough. For more than $20 with tip, it's kind of expensive for a meal, but for the variety, taste, and relative healthiness, this meal was on point!

The FiDi location for KOBA is excellent, definitely a top choice for fast casual Korean food. I've…read moregotten lunch delivered from here multiple times, and it's a consistent winner in terms of quality, spice, and massive portion size. The kimchi fried rice is so good, it's a big bowl with spicy rice, kimchi, little cubes of beef, and a fried egg to top it all off. Even after surviving the bike delivery transit, the bowl looks great and tastes even better. It's got a nice heat to it that makes the otherwise heavy ingredients taste even more interesting. And I'm not kidding about portions...I've never been able to make it through more than half a bowl, and usually have to stop after a third!

A vegetarian/vegan friendly dish too! At around 6:30pm on a Saturday there wasn't a line, and the seating was only about a third taken, of the roughly 30ish seats available. Cafeteria-style so no frills here. With only one person in front of me, it only took a few minutes to order and maybe five minutes for my order to be ready. Staff is friendly and fast, making sure to check the level of spiciness for the order. I chose medium and liked the fire without blowing out my taste buds. At $8.45+tax = $9.20 a plate this is a good value for a meal and hits the spot on a hot summer day. Fresh, salty, sweet, savory, sour, slippery, crunchy--all in one bite! Taking it to go they pack the sauce separately and it's nice to have the option to use as little or as much as you want. Bathroom access is by key code posted at the front counter.

I wish I got the Chinese burger but the noodles were solid I'd give it a 7/10 Cucumbers 6/10 Dumplings 8/10 I'd go back just bc I regret not getting the burger but was satisfied with the meal. Lot of the same flavors tbh from what I ordered

This is a delightful noodle shop in Midtown Manhattan, conveniently located 5th Avenue and to the…read moreTheater District. We found it on inKind and ate here before seeing a show. The exterior may seem off-putting -- single store front , not much to look at -- but step inside and you're in a city noodle shop like you would find in China. You order at the counter when you enter from the overhead menu, for take-away or eat-in. The open-view kitchen is on the left side as you walk back into the restaurant, a counter on the right, and communal tables in the rear. Along the way, stop and watch hand-pulled noodles being made. We had N1 Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles (5/5 $15.95), which we ate at a table in the dining room. They were outstanding.

They have such a wide variety of interesting flavours and combinations, so I had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up getting the honey garlic chicken burger combo and sweet chili chick n pop. The burger was one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had - the bun was light and fluffy, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned with the sweet honey sauce. The fries were pretty solid, but didn't stand out. I really enjoyed the truffle aioli sauce that I chose to come with it! I also loved the sweet chili chick n pop. I got the sauces on the side, but both were super good on their own or combined together. They're perfect little bites of crispy chicken and sauce! I'm super interested in trying the other flavours of fried chicken that they have. Food came delivered super quick - they did forget my drink in my combo, but I assume they might've just not had it.

Strawberry milk shake was yummy! Chicken was cooked very well, tender, crispy, yum! The same kitchen does burgers, and my son liked his a lot. The fries were my least favorite part of the experience. They were flavorless and not crunchy. The cheese fries we ordered were lacking in cheese and flavor. But overall, we would go back and avoid the fries next time.

They have an eclectic menu of japanese street foods and the inside is actually larger than you would think for a place making Japanese bar/comfort food! The okonomiyaki was DELICIOUS. It was everything I've been missing and I'm sad I didn't try this place sooner but I will definitely come back to try the rest of their menu, too. You could tell the owners are authentic and it's one of those places that survived the transition from Astor place being a bit of a Japan town to what it is today. Keep this place open at all costs! For a very rare and necessary dose of Japanese homestyle authenticity, come to DokoDemo!

5 stars bowl of ramen,as good as I never had before in NYC…read more 2 stars for the rest. I went for lunch,not sure they were happy to have me there. I set myself,stood up and order at the register,asked for water after 15 minutes I was scooping on my soup. I stood up and went to pay.

Don't let the small burger fool you, it's definitely heart. The burger has onions smashed in them and the patty is so juicy. A double cheeseburger burger for $9.50? In New York City none the less. Unheard of. On top of that our cashier was so great, you can totally tell she cares about her job. Is her name Mariah? Maybe. African American girl, super nice so helpful. Eve thought it was busy we were able to get a seat. If you're in NY and you want a good, hearty cheeseburger this is a good spot. I'm from California and I've been craving this place.

I'm honestly still trying to understand how my husband knew about 7th Street Burger and somehow…read morekept it from me! Apparently, he had been here before and never said a word... after one bite, I'm not sure how that was possible. After a long day of being out, we were starving and needed something that would really hit the spot. We ordered the spicy cheeseburger with an Impossible patty and fries, and wow -- it was exactly what we needed. The burger was packed with flavor, satisfying, and somehow both indulgent and perfectly simple at the same time. Love how simple they keep the place. The lines move quickly and there is seating, but it is usually packed. They also have tables outside to stand. I'm already thinking about when I can go back. Do I need a reason? Do I need to actually be hungry? Probably not. That's how good it was. 7th Street Burger absolutely lived up to the hype, and I'm just annoyed I didn't know about it sooner. Can't wait to go back and try more!
