amber booneApril 18, 2013Love stopping in for the breakfast bar. My favorite is the oatmeal bar where you can get it prepared a number of ways with mix ins like honey, brown sugar, apples, walnuts, mango, etc.
- The Sandwich Enthusiast 🍔February 6, 2015Awesome variety here. While not everything is top-notch, you can definitely get everything. To be fair, their sandwiches are very good. I got a great turkey, avocado, & bacon sandwich. I wrote it up, Read more
Tim BakerSeptember 18, 2014It can be confusing and overwhelming to newbies here at lunch time. Just know there are separate lines for salad, hot food and the other dining stations.
Lisa LMay 21, 2015Great lunch place - cafeteria style. Salads are unlimited toppings, burritos are decent. Ramen/noddles are somewhat authentic. Can't beat it
Lino RibollaNovember 13, 2013Endless selection of food, hot buffet containing unusual items such as lamb or filet mignon, a must-go place for lunch in the NoMad area!
Jessica PlacenciaJanuary 22, 2016Their buffet is magical! Flavorful, healthy (I think) and full of variety. This place is a super deli! And has free wifi.
Good quality for the price. Great variety. They always have seafood at the hot bar (baked salmon etc). After 2.30pm though you won't find a lot of stuff available.
Mike FriedlichJanuary 30, 2017Sammy's with grilled chicken on a multi grain roll is so good! The place is huge and everything looks good, including chicken cutlet.
Really nice selection of .. Pretty much everything! Udons, Ramena, fresh chopped salads, hot meals, sandwitches. Recommended.
Hot & cold food bar is one of the best- trays are not leaning on each other or clumpy. Very clean with someone watching over it for cleanliness.
Good variety of fast 'slow' food, great for lunch if you work in the area. There are a lot of similar places too, and they're all the same to me.
Julia KwanMarch 15, 2015Great variety: udon soup, stir fry, great buffet, good sandwiches! Crazy crowded around 12:30..
RCMarch 19, 2015They've perfected the bodega prepared foods concept. Great quick food. I had excellent pre-prepared sushi.
Candice RiveraMarch 10, 2015A good place to grab a quick, but also healthy and warm lunch. Also a salad bar and sushi!
Kevin YienNovember 6, 2014Great, diverse selection of almost any type of food. Clean seating area to eat with wifi. It gets loud though.
Sherief HinshelwoodAugust 7, 2014'Essen has a great choice of good food at their hot buffet. Ya, actually good food at a buffet!
Daniel McDonoughDecember 25, 2014This place has a little of everything. Usually a long line at the grill around lunch time.
Fresh food. Can't be beat for lunch if you work in the Madison Square Park Area.
Avi MashAugust 30, 2013If you like asian food they give you about two meals worth for under 9 dollars! #Amazing!
Excellent salad bar 👌 get the kale before it runs out right after the workday lunch rush
Joelle BSeptember 6, 2014A lot of things, but specifically the herb Philly cheesesteak!!! Their buffet is great as well.
Excellent selection of hot and cold deli food. Bibimbaap is pretty good here too.
Adam SchuitJune 10, 2015Go here almost everyday for lunch. It has anything and everything you can imagine.
Try the Strawberry, Greek and Caesar salads ! My favorite is the Caesar.
Michael AnthonyJanuary 9, 2017Get the salmon and meat at the hot bar and then a salad from the cold bar
I like the brick oven sandwiches. They toast them in umm uh a brick oven.
Don't be turned away by the massive crowd. These guys are fast!- Crazy busy at lunch but the whole place runs really efficiently
- Great place to have breakfast. Orange juice + ham egg sandwich is perfect combo to start your day.
Korean spicy chicken bowl with brown rice - very good and filling
MelissaAugust 21, 2013There's bim bim bap in the back, look around the whole place before picking what to eat :D
- Free piping hot bread pieces by the brick oven sandwich bar
John DeelySeptember 11, 2014Yogurt and fruit from the yogurt bar $8.60. Ouch! Headed to Murray's next time for theirs.
There is so much variety! Try not to get overwhelmed. #Essen
