    A friend started taking me to this diner when I came to visit her and it has since become our regular place to eat when we don't know what to eat. Wahi's is humble, not pretentious and full of kindness. There's one lady in particular who works Friday nights normally and is the most genuine person. Never gets an order wrong and is attentive without being overbearing. For me if you can do the simple things good, I'll keep coming back. I always order a ham omelette with home fries and a side of white toast with butter/grape jelly. Never fails to fill my belly and leave me satisfied. Sure the atmosphere could definitely be worked on but nonetheless, we all go for the food and warm service. If you're struggling with what to decide to eat, take a trip to Wahi's, they have pages on menu items and I'm sure something will grab your attention. If all else fails, order a ham omelette. I promise it's delicious. TIP- Sunday-Thursday open till 11pm Friday and Saturday open till 1am

    Crispy Strawberry Belgian Waffles with Bacon  3 Golden Brown Pancakes

    The breakfast was amazing I had waffles with strawberries on top and bacon with eggs , sausage With a side of morisoñando which is (orange juice and milk) bomb btw ; My partner got the buttermilk pancakes with sausage eggs and bacon The service was so fast and very attentive & The ambiance was normal you could just hear others talking but I would definitely recommend this diner for breakfast since I haven't came for dinner or lunch yet but overall you would have a nice filling and beautiful breakfast. I will definitely be back for sure!

    It's supposed to be a French dip

    ok diner but not impressed. The moment you walk in it has a real diner vibe. The waitress that took care of my table was great and funny. So let's start with my sandwich. It was no wherwhere near what you'd expect from a French dip. The meat was dry and it had a funny flavor. Almost cinnamon like. I also had to ask for gravy as it came with none. Dry sandwich, bad meat, almost no cheese. Yeah I'd say i won't be coming by anytime soon.

    Waffle deluxe + a side of eggs.
    Kwame S.

    Pretty easy, no frills dinner. I stopped in for a quick breakfast and had the waffle deluxe, which was massive. The dish came with a Belgian waffle (obviously), sausage, bacon, and ham. I also added an order for scrambled eggs for $1.75. Because what's a waffle meal without a side of eggs? Overall the meal was pretty average. I will say that the sausage links did taste a bit rubbery, but other than that, I did not have any major complaints. My waitress was pretty much on point with everything. Is it the nicest looking diner? Nope. For the price and service, it is pretty decent.

    While we were seen quickly and our server was very nice, the food was mediocre and quite bland.

You will get a text when the table is ready with 10 min to get there. It is a very small diner, with a cool vibe. You're there for the food, nothing fancy. The staff were very kind, and quick with our requests. We came for the pancakes, and they were absolutely worth the hype. Hands down the BEST pancakes we've ever had in life. 1 plate comes with 2 pancakes and are enough to share. But not too much if you're only getting pancakes for a solo serving, you'll be able to finish. We shared the pancakes and also got a breakfast sandwich.

After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

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.

Upon arrival, I was shocked that there was no line because I always see a line when I'm in that area. When we got inside, the hostess told my friend and I that she could not bring in her pulley. Now my friend she is an elderly woman and that was the first time we heard that at any restaurant. So another hostess came out and he told us that we could drop the pulley off at the hotel around the corner and they charge five dollars so said so done. I took it for her as that hostess gave her a chair to sit down and by the time, my son and I came back, they were already seated waiting for us on the first floor, which was great. The ambience is diner style. Hence the reason for their name, and I understand why they don't allow any pulley's or luggage because the area is tight so keep that in mind. We looked over the menu and the performers/servers started to sing, and it was fantastic. We all pulled out our phones and started to record and sing along. I ended up ordering the chili cheese nachos my friend got the chicken nachos my Son ordered the French toast and his friend ordered the tater tots scrambled eggs with bacon. Everything was delicious and I our nachos was humongous, lol and satisfying. The performers/servers were phenomenal as usual and I highly highly highly recommend this experience and will go back time and time again so thank you for your service until next time. Cheers.

Fast forward to 2026 (where I'm finally not broke as hell), the day has finally come, and I am ecstatic about stepping foot into this diner that surprisingly is still standing in 2026. The inside certainly feels like a diner, but not quite the old-school dinginess that I'm used to--it's clean. Given that it was Sunday at noon, it was very crowded in there and mainly flooded with tourist groups, but a table opened up for us pretty quickly. For a NYC diner, the menu is certainly small - this is probably done to keep tables moving faster. I got the Pastrami Hash & Eggs and it was just overdone and super oily and dry--almost as if they just refried everything except the sunnyside egg. Not gonna lie, I was very disappointed, given that I had waited for so long to come here, only to get food that was an attempt to give the staleness another chance by refrying and reheating. I actually beat myself up a little the rest of the day for finishing the whole thing, knowing that the oversaltiness was flirting with opening up some high blood pressure. It was also not moderately priced by any means (was close to $30), but I know I'm helping pay for that Midtown and proximity to Central Park pricing. Not sure if I'll return, which saddens me, but also knowing that they're part of a conglomerate at Fireman Group (and still run independently in a sense) makes total sense
