Wow - blown away. 6b is an awesome place to get a healthy, fresh, affordable lunch. It's on the street level of an office building right across the street from Grand Central Terminal. A huge variety - grilled salmon, sushi, salads, Chinese on the buffet, hot sandwiches. We were really surprised at the huge variety and how good everything was. I said to my wife "if I worked in this building, I'd eat here EVERY DAY...!!!" read more

Clean spot with quick service but I will say the Caesar chicken wrap I got was not very good. It was overly salty from waaay too much of the sauce they used but the workers were friendly and I was in and out very quickly. It's an easy spot to run in and out of if you're working in the office but otherwise I would not come here. read more

The price matches the experience here. This place provides satisfying portions that taste amazing. Staff members show authentic friendliness while staying alert. They nail the setting, the cuisine and the entire package. Tasty dishes that don't break the bank; the perfect spot. read more

6B has timely service, the wait is never long, great employees and delicious food! 10/10

While this is not a mind-blowing eatery, you CAN get a healthy meal here for under $10, which is extremely difficult to do in this neighborhood. The food here can be a hit or miss, depending on the day and what time you come in, but sometimes, they have really good food, such as fresh grilled salmon and a nice variety of fresh vegetables. This place was kind of hard to find, but once I found it (in the lobby of the office building across from Grand Central station), it was a huge relief to go there for lunch compared to the countless other places nearby which only offer high-carb/high-calorie lunch options for no less than $15. read more

I almost ate there everyday when I worked in the building. Both breakfast and lunch were great. Very broad selections of yogurt, fruits, meat, fish, carbs, etc. I prefer the food from hot/cold bars to the made-to-order counter. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. Bagels were okay but cannot compete with many other bagel stores in the city. Be careful how much you take because the price adds up very quickly. read more

This place is super convenient being that I work right here. Awesome variety of delicious food, yet to try it all hehe. My favorites are usually the Shrimp Fried Rice (way better than Chinese take out), avocado salad and veggie spring rolls. The only downside is that the place runs a be pricey, but then again it's The City! Specially recommend this place if you work here! read more

6b is a solid choice for fast and decent lunch in Grand Central. Pros: * Spacious food court. When we go around 1-2PM you don't have to wait for a communal table. * Lots of food options. I personally go for the sushi where you can try a medley of different rolls from Tempura Shrimp, Spicy Crunchy Tuna/Salmon, regular Tuna/Salmon, eel and crab rolls. 6 rolls and pinch seaweed salad for under $7. The freshness of fish and fish-rice ratio is great! * Also love the Shumai and Sauteed Mushrooms. Make sure to watch how much you're putting in your box because it can quickly rack up to over $15! read more

6b - Beef Burrito Bowl - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

was excited to try out their buffet but sorely disappointed by the limited options. great if you want fruit / yogurt, not so great if you are looking for a nice salad with veggies and fresh options. They did have some hot food options (10 or so) but all greasy / fried - no salmon, or grilled chicken. Better off going to Essen which is a block away and has a ton to choose from. read more

I work in the same building that 6b is located in, so it's a huge bummer that I'll never step foot in there again. The food is a solid 4-star rating, with a great variety of cuisines that are always fresh. The space is open and clean and there's a ton of options to choose from, from their buffet bars to food from the grill. All good on those fronts. Now for the negative. Almost nobody in my office (of 60+ people) goes there anymore, and it's for the same reason; the terrible attitude of the management/ownership and, to a much lesser extent, some of the staff (which is undoubtedly due to management directives). On a few occasions, the manager was observed yelling at his workers. Not only is it disrespectful to the worker but the customers always seem visibly disturbed by the behavior - justifiably so. The pricing of the food is also so frustratingly inconsistent. I went in there nearly every day to get an omelet and the prices never seemed to be the same 2 days in a row. At first it didn't bother me because some days the price would be $.50 cheaper than it should've been, followed by $.50 higher the next day, but after a while it continued to be completely in their favor. And when I questioned it, the owner/manager gave me attitude about it - and that was the last straw for me. This is midtown Manhattan so you can't go 100 feet without finding a place that makes a decent breakfast. I don't need anybody to kiss my rear end everytime I order a meal somewhere but this place also lacks any real customer service. Oh, and before I forget: these guys will threaten to charge you extra if you put hot sauce from the condiment area on your food from the grill. Apparently there's a cheap version of hot sauce packets behind the counter that they'll give you. That's a joke. The fact that they'd make a big deal out of taking 5-cents worth of hot sauce on an over-priced $7 omelete should tell you all you need to know. So even though this place is insanely convenient for me, I'd rather head to a nearby deli in the cold/rain/whatever than give them my business. And I know I'm not alone feeling that way. read more

I have eaten here before and was satisfied, perhaps I thought it was a little expensive. I stopped by the other day and tried the buffet. I had a small piece of cod in a miso glaze sauce that was freaking Dynamite. I also tried a small piece of soul or flounder franchise and it was delicious. Had some bock Choy and a few pieces of sesame chicken. I was absolutely amazed with the quality of the fish and the flavors of the food. It's completely obvious the food was made by a professional chef and not some deli guy. It was as good as any expensive restaurant that i have had. Actually excited to go back on Monday. read more

Hidden gem, buried in the basement of One Grand Central Place! It's one of the best midtown buffet/deli lunch spots - and less crowded than the others. The space is contemporary and uniquely designed with for-sale art pieces on the wall. 6B offers a wide variety of hot and cold lunch buffet items, which are fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. The menu changes daily but some highlights include: build you own salad with 15+ ingredients, fried soft-shell crab, croquettes, and salmon ceviche. I haven't tried the made-to-order items, but I would expect it to be just as good as the other items. La Colombe Coffee is sold here, too! read more

I've been wondering for the longest time if this place had a yelp page, just so I can rave about it! Indeed 6b is a hidden gem! For the past year, I've been hitting this place up for breakfast/lunch at least 3-4 times a week. Food is NEVER hit or miss. The buffet offers such an eclectic and creative variety. They get slaphappy with the kale and quinoa, but at least it's healthy. Their best hits are the Chinese food, fried soft-shell crab, and pesto filet mignon. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they'll have guacamole and pico de gallo with chips. (No extra guac charge, since it's buffet style. You can just fill up your box with those bad boys.) Alternatively, the salad bar is always very fresh and delicious. Most importantly, their prices are relatively fair. A New Yorker knows what an $8 buffet box feels like. I'm never taken by surprise when my box is weighed. read more

6b - Short ribs, pasta with roasted salmon, chicken wrapped brie and spinach, ton of guac & pico de gallo. - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

The breakfast here is seriously excellent. There have been lots of changes lately - many new breakfast items. Chief among there are an excellent variety of lox roll ups and tuna roll ups; a build your own avocado toast bar with prosciutto, ham, turkey, lox, medium and hard boiled eggs and more; a wide variety of grab and go egg sammies and the addition of several varieties of scrambled eggs and egg whites. My favs are the roll ups. Seriously there is so much here, at a reasonable per pound price that I can't cover all that I like. Also made to order egg sandwiches and omelets. If you haven't been for a while you should give it a shot. I appreciate the value, speed and variety. I do have some quibbles - sometimes the scrambled eggs are too runny and the grab n go sammies too cold, but overall it's excellent. read more

There is simply no better place near my company to get a my lunch. My colleagues have been raving about this place, so I opted for the buffet. It's huge selection of all kinds of snacks, sandwich and buffet food, etc. Prices are pretty standard for the area. Service is very quick and efficient, and they also have seating area is nice and clean. They're catering to office events, it was nice for company meeting. I'm definitely going back to explore the menu a bit. read more

We were not sure what to eat while running errands in NYC so found this place on yelp. It was hard to find because it's inside the building. We grabbed a little bit of everything like salmon, mozzarella, grilled chicken, asparagus, avocado, shrimp salad, spinach, couscous salad with salmon, black bean rice, Mac and cheese and the best part is the sushi tasted so fresh we had the turkey wrapped spicy tuna and tuna salmon wrap no rice. 11.50/lb not that bad. read more

Okay buffet deli place in Grand Central area for busy office workers. The place is hidden in a building between 41st and 42nd on Madison and I couldn't even see it's name until I walked out and was still in disbelief to see 6b (what kind of name was that?!). The buffet area was really big and had a couple of sections: salad, side dishes, meat and SUSHI! I was a fan for sushi and the sushi here was not bad and they had my favorite EEL SUSHI. The rest of things were nothing special but standard for a quick lunch. The checkout line could be really long during rush hours and might take 3~5 minutes to get to the cashier. The price was slightly higher than other deli places in the area (somehow)... Don't think I will make the hike to this place again to meet the big crowd while paying more, when I have cheaper and as good options available just under my building. read more

MealPal/6B - SIXTH BURNER I'm glad to eat at a place that understands MealPal provides an opportunity to restaurants to attract new customers. I never would've thought to enter this building nor eat at 6B- Sixth Burner. I picked up the Fried Fish Burrito Bowl and it was fresh, crispy, and tasty. I purchased several other items from the salad bar because of the generous portion size of the MealPal, the 6b food variety, and helpful staff. I'll definitely return to eat here again. read more

Everytime I go here I leave full. The price is always right and the food is clean. I'm best place to get food in the area.

This is a gem hidden away in the lobby of 60 East 42nd Street. It's not visible from the street. To get there, either walk past one or two elevator banks in the lobby or through the Chase Bank ATMs on the ground floor. This is your basic Korean-owned deli/buffet place. I have not yet tried the sandwiches, but the hot and cold buffets are very good. The food generally is more Asian-oriented. Their spicy Korean BBQ pork is pretty good, as are their spring rolls and shumai. I recently tried their pot roast with mushrooms and onions. The meat was super tender and fell apart as my fork went into it. They usually have a decent variety of hot and cold veggies. The spaghetti squash is pretty good. The steamed veggies aren't overcooked, which I love. I recently tried the creamed mushroom with truffle soup. The taste may be a bit too rich for some, but I thought it was AMAZING. I loved the frothy texture. 6b is located in Midtown, so, yes, it can get pricy, especially if you decide to go all out, which I am guilty of doing. One thing: because of its physical location, there is no cell or data reception. In order to check in with Yelp, I had to go out into the street after my lunch. So, if you are expecting an important call, you may not want to eat here. The place is clean, and I noticed one worker quickly clean up a spill. The cashiers are pretty quick and efficient. They definitely run a tight ship here. The seating area is pleasant. During one visit, somebody was playing a keyboard. I've only seen this done once, so it is not a common occurrence. Usually they are playing some light music station. All-in-all, this place is a great find. read more

The food at 6B is alright and there is a good variety, but hella expensive compared to other deli's in the area, I guess rent must be high in Grand Central. Come here if you need a quickie (of food, I mean) or if you have a business account, but if you're not in a hurry, there are other options. There is room for seating, which is a plus, if you want to have a lunch date with that special someone, but seriously, she will dump you if you took her to 6B on a date. read more

#2 Hidden Gem Places in NYC This is my second review of Hidden gem places in NYC series. A real hidden gem in Midtown. The best deli place I have ever been to. The quality is so good that I don't want to call this place a deli. It's better than any restaurant around Midtown. The food is as close to food from Michelin star-ed restaurants. Not many people come here despite its location. And I hope it stays like this forever and doesn't get crowded. Hope they don't advertise this place too much. Haha The menu changes everyday. They put out only the fresh items. They clean the dinning area so well. Highly appreciate fast cashier line. read more

Pricey but worth it! By 2PM the best stuff is usually gone. Might not have the widest selection but there are plenty of options for everyone and quality far outweighs the rest. Sushi isn't bad and chefs are making rolls fresh and regularly repleneshing rather than huge trays sitting out. Perfect if you want a few pieces.They also will make a specific roll on the spot if you ask. Their chinese section is actually pretty good, and they have really tasty vegetable options. The fish is always fresh, salmon is skin on and AWESOME. The food in general is never greasy nor salty which would be my complaint for every other buffet style place in the area. To get there from chase/42nd St side: walk through the doors where chase is on your right and take a right into the hallway. The place is the first door on left, across from the newsstand and there are pasta making machines in the window display. From 41st St- through the revolving doors, down the steps and its the first semi-hidden door to the left (back entrance). read more

The place is hidden from the outside but inside there is everything from snacks, coffees, salads, sandwiches, fresh pressed juices, even beer to hot buffet style food that changes daily. Very good value and quality for lunch. I like to pick up their breakfast wraps in the morning on my way in. Oh Lunch hours can be pretty crowded so be aware especially if you are in a rush. Would be nice if they have self checkout. read more

Mealpal lunches here are terrible here. Got the sashimi poke bowl.. this was more like ground fish from yesterday's good sushi in a shredded cucumber and rice bowl. So many regrets about today's lunch. read more

6b - Definitely the most unsatisfying lunch I have ever had. - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Hands down my favorite place to get a quick lunch in midtown. Don't be intimidated by the long line during lunch rush hour as you walk in, it actually goes by very fast because they are super efficient. As for the food, they have so many options. A salad bar, hot food bar, a large selection of soups, sushi, and a sandwich making station. Personally I LOVE the Mac n cheese or any pasta they have. They also have great Asian food, like the fried rice, lo mein, and sesame chicken. I come here at least 3 times a week and I will continue to come back! read more

There is so much choice its almost overwhelming. I had a little quinoa salad, some avocado tomato salad, roasted asparagus, salmon sushi, carved turkey, cashew chicken, etc. I loved that I could have a little of each flavor in one lunch. This place is very hard to find. People who work here know it but we wouldn't have found this gem if it hadn't been for yelp. Hint, its behind the chase offices. Look for the teeny sign. read more

6b - Not easy to find..... - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Just like other pay by pound buffet places. A special thing about it is that they have sushi selections as part of pay by pound too. Hot dishes were great. Salads were not as much as Whole Foods. The location was great very quiet and won't run out of seats even at noon time. A bit pricy but still a good business day lunch spot. read more

As other reviewers said, this is a hidden gem - and truly hidden, there are no signs outside the building so you may have a hard time finding it. I used to work across the street, and I was going there 2-3 times a week for breakfast and another 2-3 times a week for lunch. I am missing it quite a bit these days! At first glance it looks like just another of these buffet place where, let's face it, food is usually plain disgusting. This is not the case. Whatsoever. The first thing you notice is that it's clean, kinda classy even, there is at times some hipster music playing, and it doesn't even smell gross. The second thing you notice is how creative the buffet dishes are. I mean it's almost ridiculous. It changes every day, some items are always there (staples like rice or veggies or chicken or caesar salad), but salads and meats rotate quite a lot. It is not uncommon to find salmon ceviche (in a buffet place?! you kiddin' me??), or some very exotic salads with ingredients you have never heard of unless maybe you live in Williamsburg or Portland. There is also a DIY salad station, and a made to order sandwiches station. You can also order some pretty nice smoothies and juices, but the cashiers make them and it can take a while (it is clearly not their job). Also this is kinda random, but the selection of chips and candies they have is like nowhere else. They also serve La Colombe coffee. The breakfast selection is OK, usually there is a whole selection of sausages and meets, scrambled eggs, frittata, pancakes, oatmeal, fruits, yoghurts. They also have pastries like croissants and danishes from Balthazar bakery - they are pricey but so damn delicious. I can't remember where the muffins are from but they are really, really good too. read more

Slowly but surely 6B is turning into a dump. I've noticed a few bad health ratings recently, but I saw they were back to A status so I stopped in to get a sandwich (which are usually great). Today, I ordered a panini.... what I received was NOT a panini. The sandwich was not made with panini bread, but with warm pita triangles - not even toasted or pressed. Sloppy, soggy, floppy and pathetic. I gave 6B a shot at redemption and was proven wrong. I will not return - Go to TableTime across the street. Same gist of a lunch spot, but way better. read more

Great place for lunch with lots of fresh hot and cold food from Turkey to Sushi - there is something for everyone. The lines move fast because they have a few cash registers with friendly staff. My only issue is when they weigh your plate - the prices could be lower per ounce. There is seating inside if you like to eat, but all and all great place for a quick bite. read more

Hidden gem in Mid-east, Like a deli version of speakeasy. Their craft sandwiches are always satisfying my craves

Wow, what a find. When my colleague said "hey i found a decent sandwich shop", I didn't expect this! Located on the bottom floor (lobby) of One Grand Central Place, this place isn't something you'll find just walking by on the street. The sandwich station is where it's at. A really good combination of variety sandwiches with many different types of breads, not just rolls/heroes or wraps. I had "The Boss" sandiwch, bulgogi with coleslaw, smoked gouda, and sauce, for $6.95!! You can't beat that. I've tried a few of their other items off the buffet and it's also really good and fresh. I'll definitely be back for the sushi as you can tell they make it fresh and it's not all rice either. Good find! read more

I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap from the deli bar which was delicious, fresh, and very filling. Generous portions and very friendly staff. Clean restaurant to eat-in. Also meet with the owner whose very pleasant and friendly! Highly recommend! read more

First of all, their food is great! And I also like the clean and large space. They have sushi by pound, which is pretty unique and I think it's a great deal. I also tried the sandwiches which were delicious. This is going to be one of my regular go to lunch places. read more

Super convenient and always clean! I stop on my way to work to pick up some omelettes and breakfast sandwiches. I haven't stopped by for lunch yet but they such a large range of food. Unlike other hot food bars, the food actually looks appetizing. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots in midtown Manhattan. It's right near grand central which makes it a terrific option. It's hidden away downstairs in a corridor by 60E 42nd street which makes it not well known. But when you go inside this place it's like a mini goldmine. Tons of options, sushi , Asian style food as well as salads. Buffet style too if you're into that. I prefer the buffet and steamed veggies because they're always fresh around lunch time. Also the Mac and Cheese is delicious from 6b. Trust me you can't go wrong here. They also are doing MealPal promotions as well. Recommended!! read more
