    Great spot for breakfast. Hot food service is quick. Lots grab to go items as well. Fully stocked convenience store. Tables and seats on the second floor. Friendly staff.

    Some of the buffet-style foods

    Went here while walking towards Bryant Park with a friend. Already had some food in the morning so we weren't hungry enough for a classic sit down restaurant, and we figured that this would be a good quicker option. It was an interesting place! They were kind of a convenience store. You could get sodas, candies, granola bars, pre-made food, etc. What was interesting about it though is that you could also order at the counter from a menu. They had classic American breakfast and lunch foods, build your own sandwiches/wraps, fajitas, as well as some Japanese and Korean foods. They also had a buffet-style section where I believe it's $11.99 by the pound of food. Seemed like they had a lot of variety! I ended up getting a basic tuna sandwich. Not exciting, I know, but it was super yummy and quick. The employee was very nice and patient as well. I don't fully remember what my friend got-- something like a chicken teriyaki wrap I believe? She thought it was just alright, but still liked the atmosphere a lot. If you go upstairs there's a cute little dining area where we ended up eating. I think this would be a great place to go if you're in a rush or need food during your work break. A ton of options, good service, and super convenient.

    Soondubu FTW. Choose your veggies to add in. Comes with a whole block of soft tofu, an egg, and rice on the side. I went for the seafood version, but chicken, beef, pork available, too. The guys behind the counter were pretty fast, but it was also a late lunch. Perfect when under the weather. Takeout to nearby Bryant Park on a good day. Shoulda saved it for 2 meals!

    Loved this place, the sandwich was so good. Lots of options on the menu, definitely going back. Perfect to grab lunch & head over to Bryant park for a picnic date or friends. They also have seating on the second floor so you can stay & dine there. The choice is yours.

    Tabletime was one of those lucky finds when I'm hungry for a fresh prepared meal. As soon as I saw the sign that they have a buffet I went inside. This place is fantastic! Everyone I spoke with was so gracious. I saw the buffet and knew I wanted to stay. I asked if I could use the restroom first and the nice employee let me in. The restroom is clean too! I realized if I purchased the buffet I needed a place to sit to eat. I was told there's seating up the stairs above the buffet. I was definitely a happy camper. The buffet is $11.99 a pound. I can't believe how much food I got for only $6.50. I love the fact that they have breakfast items. There were so many choices I took a little of everything. Who else eats fish and pancakes! As I was leaving I saw all the other merchandise they sell. They make custom salads and serve French Toast, sandwiches and so much more. The pastries are individually wrapped and on display. The seating area was spacious and very clean. When I was finishing my lunch people were starting to come in. I came at the perfect time because it wasn't busy and I ate in a quiet atmosphere. This place is definitely FIVE STARS and when I'm in the neighborhood and I'm hungry, I'll be back!

    Talk about a hidden gem. Nestled next to a popular burger chain awaits a convenience store, meets deli counter, meets buffet, meets a ramen eatery. Honestly so many options here your hungry stomach will always be satisfied. I couldn't decide between a stir fry or a salad and the gentleman behind the counter was very nice and didn't pressure me to decide in that moment. I went with building my own salad (needed some greens) and for $10 and change, the portion was wonderful. You get 1 base, 1 protein, a premium topping and then unlimited veggies- I loaded my salad up! After the salad was dressed, I was good to go! The shop is right near Bryant Park so stop in, grab some lunch and head over to the green for some fresh air and a tasty lunch.

    Every time I go to the city, this is my number one spot for a quick and delicious meal. Everyone here is so welcoming and the service here is very quick and efficient every single time. The food here is so good too, I ordered their soondubu and I would definitely order it again.

    One of the few restaurants in the area open on Mon 8th June covid20 (NY's phase one reopening plan). It's like a deli with no cats. A pub that doesn't play music (limited alcohol buying hours on Sat and Sun). A pharmacy but smaller. A food hall but posher. I think they stock a bit of everything. AND it's soooo clean. Quick friendly service. My to-go food tasted great and was very filling. Prices very reasonable as well. Note well, service was REALLY pleasant. I apprecilike and would definitely return if I'm in the area again. Thank you Essential Workers! The End.

My partner and I visited twice during our two night stay. The first day, we arrived on a Saturday at 3:35pm and I thought because it was mid day there would be no line. I was wrong. The line ended up taking about 15 minutes to order at the kiosks, and about another 10 minutes to be seated. The wait was very similar on the second day, even though we arrived around 6pm. The first day, we separated our tickets and the person behind the counter took our tickets. We ordered 2 Asahi Draft Beers, 2 Classic Tonkotsu Ramen + Topping Set Combos, Matcha Pudding, and a Premium Yakibuta which ran about $108.88. During our meal, we also added on 2 Matcha draft beers @ $12/beer. My highlight for this meal was the Premium Yakibuta. This is not something I would regularly order, but I'm so glad we did. It was tender, flavorful, and complemented the ramen really well. Another thing I really enjoyed was the matcha pudding. This was creamy, and had a great matcha flavor with a bouncy texture. On this day, I felt as though the broth tasted a little watery, but as I got down to the bottom it tasted like I had remembered. Maybe I just didn't mix it enough. On the second day, we ordered two Classic Tonkotsu Ramens, 2 draft beers, 2 eggs, and a matcha pudding. This ran us about $86. This time, I changed my customization to reflect a richer broth and it hit the spot! I'm thinking that's what I used to order when I visited Japan because it tasted exactly the same. I'm glad I was able to perfect my order, so that I can remember it for next time. Eating in the little cubby is its own experience. I personally enjoy how if you need something, you click the button and the staff comes to you. It's also nice to be able to open the partition wall if you want to eat with your party. Unpopular opinion, but I preferred to sit in the basement because they have little hooks to put your bags next to your legs rather than on the wall behind you. Overall - 10/10 experience and I will gladly eat here every day if I could!

I have a shrimp allergy and politely asked if the shrimp tempura could be substituted. The server immediately said no, without offering any alternative or showing much concern. He said I can remove it myself. I said so let the shrimp inside the bowl for me to remove? WTH. For a restaurant, especially one serving customizable ramen dishes, with a allergy list post on the wall by the counter where I sat at B1, a little flexibility or empathy toward food allergies would go a long way. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the overall dining experience uncomfortable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this visit fell short. The smashed cucumber was good. Spicy dumpling was good. Ramen broth was light, not as rich or flavorful as others. There are so many good ramen places in NYC, this Chinese Ramen place has lot of room to improve.

The inside is packed and intimate so I'd come with a small party such as a friend or a date who's into good food.
