Here's the rundown: - naan: recommend this, though maybe overhyped myself based on previous reviews. The yogurt sauce was delish, but the bread itself was very good but not mind blowing. - BLT salad: dark horse fav! Tons of flavor and I kept going back for more. Recommend as an app - Union Square bento: honestly, wish this came in a real bento box. Seems like a miss, but I suppose separate plates give you more volume. Good to add as a side to whatever else you get. Cabbage was the best of the trio. - rice bowl: squash and rice were solid, but the shrimp was the standout here! Very flavorful shrimp. Not sure how they packed so much flavor into the little bites of them - fried chicken thighs: I mean, yes. They're juicy. They're fried excellently. The side sauces are creative and great for vinegar-lovers like me I also got the carrot cocktail which was ultra smooth and had the right amount of dill flavor. We got two cookies to go which were divine. I'd get them to stay to try it with the oolong milk next time, but we had to run. The service was friendly, courteous. Ambiance was trendy but not uptight.

The concept is similar to Chipotle, where you build your own meal by choosing a protein, grain, sauce, and toppings. I created a bowl with white rice, caramelized steak, broccoli, and pesto, and paired it with a strawberry mint lemonade. The portion size was enormous--I easily could have stretched it into three meals. Even better, the food tasted just as good as it looked. The pesto added a ton of flavor, and while I usually pair pesto with chicken, it worked surprisingly well with the caramelized steak. The strawberry mint lemonade was also refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. My only criticism is the lack of seating. There are only a handful of stools and one small table, and every seat was occupied when we visited, so we had to take our food elsewhere to eat. If they had a bit more seating, the experience would have been even better. Overall, this was a delicious, healthy meal with generous portions, and I'd gladly stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

And it doesn't have that dead space on the 2nd floor where though there may have been a place for you to sit, didn't mean that you'd necessarily enjoyed yourself there: Chances were that'd you'd have to hear someone's conversation in person or on the phone, as if you were on the subway. None of that here now with 4, albeit generous, seats facing the window: The expectation now is that during the lunch rush, you're going straight back to your desk or, if it's nice outside, sit outside (so a great use of the car-free section of Broadway). I had the Hot Chicken Plate: It was the special for folks with the SG app so I thought, why not. I picked double quinoa, blackened chicken, sweet potato and everything else you can see in my photo. The warm quinoa and the chicken were fantastic: You know SG is making a play for Chipotle's customers by offering what's basically a rice base with a chicken and salad topping. I was not a fan of the spicy broccoli which I found too salty. If you overload your plate with toppings it will easily go over the Chipotle price point: You'll know what's happening now that you have to enter it all in yourself on one of 3 tablets at the counter that divides the public from the kitchen. Can't wait to see the lunch crowd at the new spot!

I have been a regular to the Bite on 14th street and was really excited to see one so close to my office! I think it was their 1st day of business and the owner offered me a free brownie! Must admit this place looks amazing!!! Much bigger than the 14th st or the lafayette store. Food was amazing as usual and i had to order the chicken panini which has sweet peppers and mozz cheese. I cant wait for them to have live bands at this location. That will bring a lot of character to this neighborhood. read more

I came into this place and saw the manager yelling at two young girls who looked like they were in college. Before I even had the chance to order, I heard them talking about sexual harassment at the work place. I heard the manager screaming (the place literally shook) about how they were lying about assault. On top of this, everything tasted like canned food. The entire vibe of this place made me uncomfortable. read more

The open kitchen is in the back and they have staff both inside the kitchen preparing the food and outside the kitchen to pack up the orders. Very well oiled machine. I tried the tuna poke bowl ($22). There was a good amount of tuna and the bowl itself was a good size. I liked everything in the bowl except the nori cashew crunch which was in big chunks and tasted of fishy seaweed, so if I got it again, I would order it without that. Even with the miso mayo and yuzu vinaigrette though, I felt the dish lacked flavor. It would have benefited from something spicy and maybe a seasonal ingredient like fresh mango. Overall, not bad, but I would not go out of my way to get this again and would just get a poke bowl somewhere else. I haven't tried anything else on their menu so it is possible I just ordered the wrong thing. I am not gluten free, but I can see this being a great option for those that are. Everything on their menu is well labeled to denote if it is dairy free, vegan, paleo, contains nuts etc so they make it easy if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions.

We're impressed with the quality of both the customer service and the delicious food. Let me break this down!

And it exists on an unassuming block, on Hudson Street. One could almost walk by without even noticing it, which is largely why I'm writing this complimentary review. (We gotta publicize this great place!) The woman who has always served at the counter there (around 1 PM on weekdays), is: friendly, efficient, patient and welcoming. She always brings a smile to our faces. And the man who serves in the kitchen area seems quite warm, too, even though I haven't spoken with him as much. The food has always been fresh, plentiful and tasteful. *Bravo* The last time I was there, I ordered the turkey burgers paired with the lemon potatoes. So awesome! Another time, I ordered the Greek/Israeli salad, which was also really awesome. I also had a kale-based salad there once, which was equally awesome. With that, I highly recommend this lovely eatery, replete with good food and good people. Happy Holidays, everyone! My Best, Katherine "Kat"

The cashier was friendly and the wait for the food wasn't too bad as when I ordered, there were probably 5 orders ahead of me. When I got the food, I found it to be extremely small portion.
