Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
Dawn H.

Zaza is a cute diner with plenty of options. My coffee was delicious but my food was just ok. Service was good but nothing special. If you have a large group this would probably be good location because they have an extensive menu that most people will be able to find something they want.

My husband and I planned to go to a diner before our matinee 4DX movie at Regal on 42nd Street, so we decided to look on Yelp for recommendations near his job on Wall Street. Fortunately, we found Zaza Diner just a five-minute walk away. Our first impression was very positive; the diner was modern and exceptionally clean. The hostess was friendly, and we were seated immediately--there was no waiting at all. Our server was attentive and asked us what we would like to drink, and then a second waiter came by to take our food orders. We ordered a Western egg omelet with home fries and multigrain bread. Additionally, we got a deluxe pancake order that included three pancakes, two pieces of bacon, one slice of ham, and one sausage. We also enjoyed some delicious coffee.

The place was wonderful, the staff took us in with ease and the food was very tasty! I had heard of the place and liked the reviews and must admit-- they were right . The food was fresh and the staff was very responsive to any question and always service with a smile!

Maryland Crab Cake Benedict
Lora R.

Decent breakfast, but not exciting. I ordered the crabcake Benedict, and was happy but not thrilled. I was hungry and ate until I hit a wall and packed it to go. I was drawn to this diner based on the classic turkey club sandwich reviews, but allowed myself to get distracted by something else. The next time that I am in lower Manhattan, I will stay focused.

We have breakfast here each morning....so far I haven't been disappointed... the staff is knowledgeable & efficient.... Also convenient.... Near our hotel

Breakfast was really good. Got a waffle and the breakfast panini and was big enough to share! We were so stuffed. Our server was awesome! Sebastian the goat fr. We'll be back soon.

My partner and I came in twice to have breakfast here. Service was a little slow but it can get busy. The service was always kind tho. I ordered the Western Omelette and Banana pancakes. They were both sooo good. I would come back and try more things on the menu.

Napoleon stuffed French toast
Macy T.

Fast and friendly service. Will definitely come again. They have an extensive menu with many choices and options. We of course couldn't take our eyes off the breakfast selections. The interior is clean and has lots of booths for the classic diner vibe and feel. See you soon Zaza! I loved my PACO.

This was a gem. We happened on this spot on our lunch hour! It was a classic diner meet modern Manhattan moment there were people from so many different walks of life at lunch, folks on lunch break, families and tourist just to name a few. The host were fantastic and were so helpful and just plain sweet. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and fries! The grilled sandwich was delicious the chicken was tender and juicy and seasoned well. The sandwich was so good I forgot to get a picture. I will definitely be back!

Big Boy Breakfast
Shayna H.

A clean and beautiful ambiance with kind staff and great food. I came with a group of six and our food was brought out in a very timely manner. We all ordered off of the breakfast menu. I got the big boy breakfast. It filled me up for almost the entire day. It came with all the breakfast meats, three eggs, home fries, and toast. The star of the plate was the home fries. They were seasoned to perfection. Some of my friends were picking them off of my plate because none of us could get enough of them! I would highly recommend Zaza to others.

French Toast, Sausage, Bacon, Eggs, Ham
Gregory B.

The french toast was very fresh and soft. The ham was thin and a bit on the fattier side. Not the most ideal. The sausage was great and the bacon was great. Would definitely get again

We did a walk up on a Friday morning and got there around 10:30, which gave us a 90 min wait. We…read morewere fine to wait, and walked around china town to kill time. 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.

I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. 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!

Smaller than I thought. Now I know why there is always such a long wait.

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.

The Benedict was so delicious. I've never had it on a crispy hash brown type before. It was good and a massive portion. Mac and cheese was alright, though I would probably opt out of it next time. I was so full I totally forgot to drink my latte but the latte was good too. Ambiance was nice clean and very busy.

This was my son and I second time going to StarDust, and this time we had two friends with us and…read morethey really really enjoyed it. 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.

10/10 Experience!…read more Stardust Diner was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the energy was incredible. The singing servers were unbelievably talented and made the whole experience so much fun. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was unlike any other restaurant. Every performance brought smiles to everyone's faces, making the meal feel like a Broadway show. If you're visiting New York, this place is a must. An unforgettable experience--10/10, and I'd definitely come back!

The onions melted into the cheese and the toasted rye took it to the next level. This is a must try sandwich for all carnivores. And about the service... We stopped by for lunch and learned there was a short 15 minute wait. What typically might make you slightly upset did the opposite as the two men at the door and seating people engaged with us and made us feel like regulars. The dinner has a classic look inside and out and seriously, everyone is beyond friendly and attentive. Now that my wife teaches on 54th, we are destined to become regulars. Highly recommend

Many, many, many moons ago, I was a poor college kid who passed by this place every single day on…read moremy way to my internship, thinking that one day, when I'm finally not broke as hell, I will dine at this charming, retro-looking place. 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
