When I arrived, I had staff members greet me and offered to help me with all of the bags. One of the staff members asked me how far I was going and offered to even walk a few blocks with me. When I told them that I was going to be taking an Uber, they helped me to the car when it was time. We ordered a variety of bowls, and they have something for everyone. They have chicken bowls, salmon bowls, tuna bowls, tofu bowls, etc.. Everyone in my group was pleased with their balls, the size of their balls, and the overall taste of their bowls. I personally ate the spicy tuna bowl and it had a nice kick to it. The bowls may look tiny on first glance, but they are actually quite filling. One thing I wish that they did was label the bowls, but outside of this, I have been thinking about my poke bowl ever since!! They have a great team here and great, fresh poke!

Lunch entrees come with choice of soup or salad. I had the Seafood Hot and Sour soup and it was fabulous. Just the right amount of spice and tart. Spicy Tuna rolls were very good and my favorite was the Yellow Tail with jalapeño roll. Portions were big and the $13.75 price was more than reasonable. A 3 roll lunch is only $17.75 and there are many choices all under $18. Everything was so good here. I know I'll be back

Blue Mountain is a neighborhood sushi gem in the Murray Hill area. I recently ordered for pickup…read moreand tried the salmon poke bowl, which came with a side of miso soup. The soup was nothing special, so I think I'd opt for a side salad next time instead. The bowl was packed with an impressive variety of toppings, including salmon, peanuts, fried onions, avocado, oshinko, tamago, and seaweed salad, all topped with a sesame dressing. While I appreciated the generous portions and the freshness of the salmon and vegetables, the bowl felt a bit heavy overall. There was a lot going on, and I found the amount of fried onions and peanuts to be more than necessary. The sesame dressing was tasty, though there was a bit too much of it for my preference. I also noticed that the tamago and seaweed salad tasted premade and a bit sugary, which took away from the light, fresh quality I usually look for in sushi. However, I know that sweetness is fairly common for those ingredients, and I think many people would like this hearty style of poke. Since the fish itself was fresh, I would happily order from here again and will round up to 4 stars, though I'll stick to their regular rolls next time to keep things a bit lighter.

My order is usually the chili crisp shrimp torched with surimi and the various toppings and my sauce is that cilantro jalapeño and i must add serano peppers bro i need my bowl spiiiiicy, and this location execute it perfectly. I also like that they have brown sugar rice Krispies and bubble tea(but i've never tried the drink so i cannot say).

I don't usually go for a fruit drink but this one was pretty good and not too sweet at 50% sweetness. The spam Musubi was very rice dense with a small slab of spam.

Grab a paper menu and a pen and mark off what you want in your poke and hand it to the cashier to pay and order. They have a wide variety of toppings which makes your poke super customizable - sauce wise and topping wise. Note they are super generous on sauce, so if you don't want too much sauce, maybe don't get all three sauces. A great lunch takeout poke spot.

The food always arrives hot, is always well packaged and tasty. My personal go to is the SHAKING BEEF Bo Luc Lac Stir fried Angus steak cube) bun. It is served Served w. Side Salad & Nuoc Cham: (Romaine, Cucumber, Pickled Mustard, Grape Tomatoes, Carrots & Daikon). I appreciate the choice of Vermicelli rice noodle, Thai Jasmine rice or Solely Salad. I always choose rice and the packaging is amazing, the beef is kept seperate from the rice and arrives hot and aromatic. My mom also loves this dish but ordered it with the solely salad and opts for double veggies. We have also tried several of the bahn mini including the lemongrass chicken, the brisket and the braised short rib. All are tasty. I do recommend adding the dip for $1 as it really takes it to the next level! I ordered the lychee iced tea sweetened today. It was sweet but not too sweet which I appreciated and as with everything from 5ive spice very thoughtfully packaged in a way that there is no leaking in transit. 5ive spice has some great all day and happy hour specials, I look forward to trying their food in person when I am in the area. Customer service: One time, on a particularly busy weekend in NYC, I received the wrong bahn mi sandwich. I ordered the brisket bahn mi and received the lemongrass chicken. When I called 5ive Spice, I spoke to the manager John who was incredibly apologetic and explained it was a very busy night, without offering excuses. He offered a full refund and invited me to order again and call and he would include a complimentary bahn mi. For what it's worth, it was a very busy night in NYC, all of the restaurants we were trying to get take out or delivery from were quoting 2+ hours, and John handled the situation perfectly. The food we received was tasty and did arrive on time.

Friday, May 1st 2026 Midtown East, NYC…read more Sunny 68°F Full Flower Moon Where have I been for the past two years on my quest for really good Korean take-out, that I never noticed ONGI until today?! After a big day in the city, on an empty tummy, I needed fuel. Plus, I was hangry for KFC. However, I was low on energy to venture to my go-to places. As I was approaching the vicinity of GCT, I observed multitudes of people (mostly young yuppie types) entering a little door off of East 41st Street and Third Avenue that peaked my curiosity. Lo and Behold, I look up and think "Just what I am looking for this very moment. Thank you!" The rest is history. Now we have a great place to grab a fulfilling delicious, like grandma made, Korean meal to bring home and enjoy thoroughly. We will definitely return again and try more menu items. **Very similar ordering system relative to the Chipotle style. However, their model is extremely efficient and likable.** **Prices are reasonable. Place is very clean, modern. Servers are excellent, helpful, and very friendly ** Thank you so much! 매우 감사합니다

The fish tasted semi fresh, not the freshest poke I've ever had, but definitely good enough to satisfy the craving without feeling sketchy. What I liked most was that it felt dependable. Quick service, good portion sizes, and enough topping/sauce options to make the bowl enjoyable without overcomplicating things!
