    Spacious, with large menu and a grwat neighborhood atmosphere. We stopped in for an mid day cocktail which was excellent- passion fruit margaritas. We ordered some fries just not to be wobbly and we did have late lunch plans elsewhere. Our server Nrian was very sweet and attentive , There's a big bar area if you dont want to sit at tables and also outdoor seating. Great for large groups with menu including breakto dinner.

    GK is a fun active brunch spot. Spacious but gets busy. Great for small or large groups, huge outdoor dining space too is great! The service was ok, I feel like I waited a bit longer than I should have for my spritz. Nonetheless, serve Nick was attentive and overall timely with getting our meals to us in a timely manner. Lively buzzing crowd, fresh greenery decor all through. I have plans to go again. Lastly, the food was delicious!

    Bland chicken salad sandwich with an overload of lettuce and barely any tomato.  Boo!
    Meredith R.

    With what I think are identical menus, I'd rather go to Green Kitchen on E. 84th. The uptown branch has comfortable booths, more conducive to conversation. 70th Street does not, and with bad acoustics I could barely hear my friend talk. And she was sitting next to me! I was unable to capture my favorite component of dinner: avgolemono soup. (Photography is not my forte.) The soup was rich and lemony, just as I like it. The difference between a cup and bowl is only $2, so if you're a soup-person it makes sense to get the large and bring home what you don't finish. I paired my soup with a chicken salad sandwich, a measly 2 stars. It was bland and mushy. (My husband will be getting the half I didn't eat for dinner tonight!) His order, a Tijuana chicken sandwich, was a better choice. It was piled with bacon, pepper jack cheese, red onions and guacamole. My friend awarded her turkey burger four stars. It looked good, not as dry as turkey burgers tend to be. Green Kitchen does a great job with fries. The fries T and I shared were crisp and salty. (I took way more off his plate than I planned.) R's sweet potato fries were equally good. Our waitress -- whose name I didn't catch -- was terrific. Sweet and attentive without being annoying. Actually we liked everyone who came to our table. Green Kitchen has been in business since the 1930s. I'd consider it a hybrid of a diner and restaurant. They may take reservations, but we never make them. The menu is extensive enough that you'll inevitably find something that suits you. (Just don't get chicken salad.)

    Delicious food, nice staff, and good drinks. The hibiscus margarita was meant to be spicy but wasn't. It was still good, though. Really enjoyed the turkey burger and the people I came with got Cobb salads with salmon. Wish I got a photo of the food. Definitely recommend a reservation for weekend brunch as it gets busy. The outdoor seating is nice and comfortable. Saw several cute pups out there as well!

    Homemade Corned Beef Hash and Eggs

    Crazy busy Saturday around noon but the turnaround is very quick. We went with the breakfast burritos and corned beef hash. Everything tasty great lotsa meat in the burritos and the hash breakfast was huge. Service was quick and prompt. I didn't realize that there are multiple Green kitchens in the neighborhood but would definitely go back.

    Spicy Margarita

    This diner was perfect for the break we needed. We only ordered a couple of drinks and the chips and guac. I would come here to grab a drink but we really came to grab a bite to eat. We were sat right away and the service was excellent.

    Burrito Bowl
    Kiley K.

    Excellent and elevated diner! The service is so friendly (even despite being busy and crowded) and the burrito bowl was really good. They also serve drinks which is a great bonus. I really enjoyed my visit and look forward to coming back.

    Disappointed, I ordered the chicken salad to go because I saw how amazing it looked online. I ordered grilled chicken instead of crispy & apparently you get the garlic bread only if you order the crispy chicken salad. Wish the menu stated this. I was very disappointed when I opened my salad since basically it was $25 for a basic cesar salad.

    Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad

    Was in the area and decided to get. Crispy chicken Caesar salad and it is amazing! Portion is big and the garlic bread that comes with it tastes soo good!

    I walked in with my friend on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately. Service was a little slow - they were very busy. But our drinks took awhile to get. We got: - Chipotle chicken panini with fries ($24): I really enjoyed this! The fries were the exact crispiness I wanted. The sandwich is huge so I only had half. It's not really a panini because it was stuffed and not flat. - lychee martini - margarita - chicken Marsala: my friend enjoyed this! It came with a side of pasta (which I had a bite of and enjoyed)

    Berries
    Rachel B.

    We came to Green Kitchen for breakfast. It was nice that we could get in without a reservation. We were seated pretty quickly. I had the Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. It was good but a bit too salty. I also had a side of berries ($10). The berries were very fresh, and it was a large portion. I tried some of my friend's home fries and they were great! I like this casual brunch spot, and I would come back!

    I've been clamoring - CLAMORING - for a place like this in the Upper East Side. Most Asian…read morerestaurants in this neighborhood are fancy sit-downs, so it was exciting to see a quick, casual stop for Asian "finger food" (for a lack of better word) within my vicinity. Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!

The short rib itself was also overcooked, leaving the meat a bit tough and rough. On the bright side, I ordered an extra side of brisket and enjoyed that much more than the short rib. The broth overall lacked a deep, rich beef flavor. Saigon Shaking Beef (4.25/5): The standout dish of the night. The beef was absolutely delicious and perfectly flavored, though pairing it with arugula felt a little odd. Beef Wrapped Betel Leaf (3.5/5): This was just okay.

There was a line, of course, there always is, and the wait was longer than what we were willing to endure for fare as simple and as common as a sandwich. It was worth the 20-minute wait. We ordered the Milano special, packed with cold meats, tomatoes, pickled peppers, cheese, and lettuce between two soft sesame rolls. It looked magnificent. It tasted magnificent. It was a sandwich to rule all sandwiches. I'd brave the line for that any day.

Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix. We were deciding on this one and the proscuitto tomato but we are glad we got this one! 2. Chicken caesar salad wrap- I think I could easily say this is the best caesar salad wrap i've had. The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!

I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.
