For breakfast: Head over to the grill and order up a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Roll! Watch as the attendant wraps and packs. He is fast and efficient!

One of the most complete Delis I've seen in NYC... Has pretty much everything: salads, Chinese, Japanese, sweets, sandwiches and many many more..

Get a Duke Melt (up near the front) and don't forget to grab some free bread while you're there!

They'll only tell you that everything is optional (mayo, tomatoes or even lettuce), when you go to the cashier. The guys that late night have no patience at all. But, the sandwiches are very good

In the AM, they have fresh cut fruit that, in season, is delicious. Find the smaller containers (there are always extras by the short order counter), fill it w/ fruit and top w/ cottage cheese.

Great food and all but they charge by the pound during the lunch hour so watch what you get.

If you want a bagel in the morning, be prepared to wait. There are 5 or 6 guys behind the counter but only one is on bagels. The others are making prepared sandwiches for the lunch rush.

Get the Udon: most people are in line for soups or salads, so don't be fooled. There's almost never a long wait for Udon!

Come before 12:15 to get the best selection of the best foods like the baked chicken breast. Once it's gone, it's gone!

Don't go between 12pm and 1pm on weekdays - lunch rush is crazy, the place gets packed.

They changed the pricing for pasta. It used to be a fixed price and now it's by weight (even though you don't serve yourself). So essentially you can now pay $4 more for something than you used to.

The hot and cold buffet is a little pricey but well worth it!

Watch them make your breakfast sandwich. Sometimes they get lazy & "forget" to melt the cheese.

Great selection & fast service!
Mike AnzNovember 7, 2012
This place is the worst! I have yet to have a pleasant experience here. Toaster is always broken, breakfast sandwich line is long and they run out of ingredients all the time. And no one cares.

Soft tofu soup, medium spice - amazing. I actually make a special trip into midtown for this!

get a nice big smoked turkey or roast beef sandwich; the guys behind the counter are super efficient and always remember what you like
Max DorschOctober 27, 2010
Hit the salad bar. For 8 bucks small salad with 6 things in it is filling and priced well
Tammy Heller-BezalelFebruary 4, 2010
Try the shrimp tempura soba, great value for $9 and great option on winter day.
Ruperto RuizOctober 3, 2013
You gotta try the seaweed salad for only a lousy $2.99!

Best Udon soup!!!÷
Richard PakFebruary 25, 2013
Everything is too overpriced. $3 for a yogurt is never a good PR move.
Celine KhongJanuary 6, 2012
Definitely recommend the bacon cheeseburger!!
Geoff SpiesNovember 11, 2010
The Duke melts are pretty sweet and those guys crank thru orders quick

Eat here only if you want to get food poisoning. I guess they don't call it Cafe Puke for nothing.
