We were absolutely starving, coming out late at night from a concert at Radio City Music Hall, and…read morethis was one of the few spots nearby that was still open. I had heard about The Halal Guys for years but somehow never had the privilege of trying it, mostly because this cart is usually packed. We walked straight up and, to our surprise, it was fairly empty-- clearly our lucky night. We ordered the chicken sandwich with everything and the beef platter with yellow rice, and OMG... it was incredible! These guys are clearly commanding the halal food scene, and after finally trying it, I completely understand the hype. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what we needed at that moment. There's something about eating a great late-night meal straight from NYC food cart that just hits differently. I will say, my sandwich was VERY spicy. And i love spicy food, but this was another level haha... My entire mouth was on fire. The funny part? I literally could not stop eating it. It was that good. Sometimes the simplest food, at exactly the right time, becomes the most memorable. This was definitely one of those moments. Now I get the hype!

I don't go as much as I use to, as the price has more than doubled since 2017/18. However, that has nothing to do with my rating. My problem is that meats have gone downhill. I used to love gyro meat - never sure what it was exactly lamb or beef - but now it is just gross and greasy. The chicken which used to be excellent is now very dry. The white sauce is great and the rice is fine, but that is it. Not worth getting anymore. Maybe one of their competitors is better, can't really be worse.

The location is super…read moreconvenient in Midtown, just steps from Rockefeller Center, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get a table for three both times without much wait. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for Midtown Manhattan. Over the two visits, I tried both versions of the Hainanese chicken rice, and both were delicious. The food came out incredibly fast, and I especially appreciated that the meals included Chinese broccoli. I also tried the stir-fried noodles from Hainan Jones and that was excellent. Overall, everything we ordered was flavorful, satisfying, and served quickly. Definitely a great spot for a casual and tasty meal in Midtown!

The chicken was very tender, well prepared, and so were the veggies. I think it has stiff competition by way of Lou Yau Kee but is definitely up there as top 5 southeast chicken rices in the city! I would def come back here and what's great is that you can feel healthy bc it's steamed/poached chicken, rice and veggies :) It's inside Urban Hawker, so you can get a variety of other things to go with your meal - might I recommend Kopi (malaysian coffee) at the nearby stand? The flavors were bold, authentic, and the chicken skin was silky smooth. The cucumbers had a nice crunch and the veggies as well. They give you two sauces, one of them is spicy and might be hotter than you expect so try it first.

This time I got the mixed platter with fries on top with extra white sauce and a side of red sauce. We went right when they opened at 6pm and there was a line forming before they opened. When they opened the line moved fast and efficiently. There's some public tables nearby that you can eat at, but I decided to take mine to go. Would definitely come back again next time I'm in New York.

You walk up to the guy and tell him your name for the order and they'll get your order in minutes. Forget about the estimated time frame. The mix platter $16.72 was good. But not mind blowing like all the reviews. Chicken and lamb were flavorful and rice was tasty. But was just expecting more.

Mr Fried Rice was a gamble that payed off! Portion sizes were a lot bigger than I expected (especially given location) and the flavors were on point. The fried rice had that signature wok hei flavor you get from chefs high heat wok cooking and the pork chop was juicy and flavorful. The staff were friendly too Hard to go wrong for a meal sub $20. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

When I couldn't figure it out, I gave up and switched to an underground exploration mission because I was presented with a gift: the Turnstyle Underground Food Hall. I was pleasantly surprised! Legit dumplings, paella, bubble tea and some cute shops. It's not fancy but it has lots of flair. I walked the two sides and ended up choosing the Korean hotdogs because they had a sign with a special. For $6.98 you get a half cheese/half hotdog on a stick with the lemonade. I stepped up and ordered. There was a bit of upselling going on. If you want chopped up french fries rolled into the batter it costs a little extra. There are also different spices and sauces to go on top. I chose the strawberry lemonade and it was super sweet, so I'd go heavy on the ice. Sat down at the tables provided in the center of the hall. Had to let my melted cheese cool for a bit, because that first bite burned my mouth. Once cool enough, I devoured mine. Any kind of "fried dog" is a favorite of mine. It looks like there were still empty store fronts that should be filled soon. Good stuff to come back for! For now this was a great introduction to Turnstyle!

The sandwich came w/ a good amount of thinly sliced steak, fat slices of mozzarella and a balsamic glaze that gave it some, but not enough flavor. The meat needed more seasoning to contrast w/ the glaze. There's not enough arugula to provide a peppery note and tomatoes always go well with salt, which it needed since the meat wasn't seasoned enough to my liking. It's a food truck so there's no seating so either take it to the park or borrow a parked car to lean on. Just don't make a mess.

Once I had ordered our food was ready p0retty quick. They are basic hotdogs with basic ingredients, but there is nothing basic about them. Sometimes you just need a good basic hotdog. Not frills. They hit the mark for that honestly. It is not a jab at them one bit. I would hit them up any time I am there. I just wanted a classic hotdog with ketchup and mustard. My friend got a chili cheese dog. The hotdogs had a nice little snap to them, and they were cooked perfectly. just a little bit of their greasy juices made flavoring perfect. Service was fast and easy. They were great. They took the time to say hello and engage in very small conversation as they were busy trying to get things out. But it was nice to be acknowledged . The pricing is perfect. They have specials as well. Enjoy! The hotdogs were fantastic!

With lots of variety in the menu we elected to get chicken Kati roll (the best of the lot) and spicy chicken biryani (different then what we expected). I would definitely recommend the roll (it comes in pair so try to get two different kids). This is the only location for it (46th & 6th) and he is there from 11am - 12 midnight (he said that is his timing). No seating area so all of that is to go, maybe you can just sit on the side and eat it.
