Hey Yuet was a quick enough walk in the rain and worth getting a little damp for. We arrived before the lunch rush, so we were seated immediately and started ordering soup dumplings, rice rolls and a variety of other delicious dim-sum options. We ate our faces off. I wanted to keep going but hit maximum capacity and waddled out of there very fat and happy. Everything was wonderful-including the service. There were 2 young people managing all of the tables - they did great job. I sent some of the food pics to friends that no longer live in/near NYC..they were very jealous.

Nothing beats a hot pho on a cold day, especially in New York City…read more I stumbled across The Pho 2 walking around in Chelsea. The entrance is very unassuming and honestly could be easy to miss - it's overshadowed by the large BBQ place next doors but I do like how it's a hole in the wall type of spot. Inside, The Pho 2 doesn't have that much seating. When I went, there weren't that many people so it was easy to get seated and the food came out super quick. I decided to order the flank pho and the size of the bowl was HUGE. They give you a lot of soup - and a decent amount of meat and noodles. On the side, it also comes with your classic bean sprouts, mint, and lime. Flavor wise it packed a punch and they had your classic sauces on the side - as well as chili oil that they have too. Their menu is very small so you know the kitchen doesn't overcomplicate making food - which I love when it comes to restaurant efficiency. For my fix of pho, I'll be back to have some more!

I got the spicy pork ramen and it was delicious-the broth is not as rich as other places but that was fine with me, as I wasn't in the mood for super rich broth. I really, really liked the chashu-it was moist, tender, a little fatty, and was well-seasoned. I just wish that the ramen was a little bit spicier. The egg was cooked perfectly soft boiled, and the noodles were thin noodles, which is my favorite kind of ramen noodles. The store was pretty cute and modernly decorated, and the service was friendly, nice, and fast. Would return if I'm ever in the area!

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

I was impressed by the chunks of pastrami throughout. Very hearty and very delicious! My husband indulged in the Nova Benedict. They packed on the lox. He didn't even finish but found it amazingly delicious. Service was okay. Nothing too spectacular. I almost felt an inconvenience to the server but we didn't have a fussy order nor was it busy (we ordered before the rush). Maybe she was preparing for the rush. Lol either way, it wouldn't stop me from returning.

They have several locations,…read moretimes square, Brooklyn etc. The Brooklyn one has a regular dining table as well instead just the individual slot. Got there around 5:30pm ish, there's a good amount of ppl lining up outside. We waited for a good 30-40min until we actually seated. Once you get in,you ordered via tablet. The guy will handed you all the your order per person per item. Your order can be customized to your preferences of noddle, broth, saltiness, spiciness, extra meat or egg, extra noddle, drinks and desserts. You can also order the package noddle to go. Everything must be paid on the tablet as you are done with your orders Wait until they tell you where to seat as the slots turned green. Once you were seated, make sure you put all your orders on the table. The bamboo screen will slightly lifted, and the person on the other side will take the orders and will come back with your order. If you order a dessert the matcha pudding like me, they will ask you whether you want it together with your dinner or later. If later, all you do is to put the little saucer on top of the sensor which will let them know that I am ready for next item. There's water dispenser along the wall. Restrooms: 2 gender neutral restrooms

You order upfront and head to the iconic booth seating (dividers up for solo dining, or folded back for groups). Because Japan's food scene is elite, I kept my expectations low. The tonkotsu broth was solid and the wheat noodles were perfectly cooked, but the chashu fell a little flat--it was tougher than the texture you get overseas. I also ordered the seasonal matcha pudding and it was pretty tea forward. It was pretty good. Overall: 3/5. It's a fun, nostalgic experience if you miss Japan, but at $23-$30 a bowl with the chashu not as great, it's a one-time visit for me. Stick to the original if you can!

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

"How 'bout there?" he responded pointing to Excellent Dumpling House. It was directly across the street. I pulled up Yelp, saw good reviews and readily agreed. At 3:30, the restaurant was empty. There were a few takeout orders, but we were the only people sitting down for late lunch. And y'know ... it was pretty good. Wonton soup is what I'd expect in Chinatown. Wonton wrappers were thin -- my preference -- the stuffing delicious and the broth flavorful. They were generous with the beef in our chow fun. Good, but the noodles needed a jolt. So I asked for soy sauce which was sort of a solution. Shrimp with vegetables was great. A lot of shrimp, too. There are lunchtime specials on weekdays, reasonable prices, and nice people work there. Next time it makes sense to try dumplings since it is, after all a dumpling house.
