    There was hair in my food.  I am completely turned off.  The manager did rectify the situation by not charging for my meal.

    The atmosphere was so so. They were playing 80's music, but the utensils, were all plastic, paper plates, and paper cups. Did not get the "out to eat feel". The booths barely had space between yourself and the table either. The food was average. Then to top it all off, there was hair on my plate! I'll never eat here again!

    Really nothing but an "a-okay" from me. Very typical setup, service and food. "Awesome diner food" as one reviewer said, dude you must be related to the owners because there is nothing special here. It's cool when you're drunk or starving but it's not a place to go all out of your way for. Oh well..

    Awesome patio, great for safe, outdoor dining! Amazing atmosphere and following all safety precautions :)

    Great food !!! Awesome prices when your looking for a diner! Safe outdoor seating . Great prices and service.

So I ordered Pancakes and eggs! My favorite! It was cool.. Service was great. The waitress was nice and attentive.. As far as ambiance, it was pretty chill. Not noisy at all. Just patrons enjoying their meals and chatting. Overall it's a nice spot and I'll go back to try something else next time. Have a great one yall! -Ray

We benefited from her experience and good taste in guiding us through the menu. She ordered a caesar salad with grilled shrimp that looked divine! I love a good tuna melt and she said the Johnson had a good one- plain, but you can add whatever accoutrements you wish. I stuck with the classic and found it simple and satisfying She recommended one of the other salads (the asian salad) to my mom- with grilled chicken breast or shrimp. My mom's first job waitressing job in highschool was at a greek diner and upon discovering the Johnson Diner is greek, she had to try their Mousaka $21 served with a generous portion of greek salad. My mom enjoyed her Mousaka and said it had the perfect amt of cinnamon and spices- she ate the whole plate- she's usually a "take half home" eater- but said she wished she had ordered the salad as it looked fresh and light- and she felt full after the heavier Mousaka Maybe Mousaka for dinner, salads for lunch and brunch!

Service: 10/10 The employees were very friendly. They were kind and had a nice smile on their face. That is what customers should be looking for when being approached by waiters or waitresses. They were very helpful with the menu option. Food: 10/10 I started with their hot chocolate with whipped cream. Man! It was delicious. The whipped cream, by the way, is optional. It does not automatically come with the hot chocolate. The texture was just right. I picked a good day to drink hot chocolate. I have also ordered their standard Belgian Waffles with a side of sausage. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the quantity of the waffle. They only give you one. Additionally, you'd have to ask for the butter. Butter does not automatically come with the waffles. The syrup is or at least should already be on the table once you're seated. Even though I only got one waffle, it was delicious. Furthermore, you have the option to add whipped cream to the waffles. They will add the whipped cream to the waffles for you. The same can be applied to pancakes. When all is said and done, they will offer you a blow-pop lollipop. Overall 9.5/10 I will be back. I am unsure if they do reservations. It wouldn't be surprising if they did. Their menu options and pricing were reasonable.

    Golden Diner is an absolute must if you visit Chinatown. I had a short work trip and met up with my…read moreteam here for dinner and absolutely loved the experience. Thankfully, a coworker who lives in NYC got us a reservation because this place was slammed and deservedly so. There were nearly a dozen of us so we shared a bunch of things but I was only able to get photos from my side of the table. I started with a drink the server recommended which is one of the Golden Diner's signature cocktails: the Golden Punch. It was a very easy drinker and a delicious way to start out the night. We followed that up with some shared plates: the Caesar salad, the Korean Fried Chicken Wings, and the popular Chicken Katsu Club. That all led up to the true star of the experience: the Honey Butter Pancakes. The picture doesn't do this thing justice - it's so simple but I can't stop raving/thinking about it. This thing is fluffy and not too heavy, though a double stack honestly filled me up. The butter and honey must have something else magical going on because my honey and butter do not taste like that haha I loved it so much that I went back 2 days later on my own to grab lunch and just got the pancakes and some bacon. I would absolutely do it again too. All in all, it's a delicious experience and absolutely see myself going back again on my next trip to New York City. Highly recommend, just make sure you get a reservation or dine solo at the counter if you want to take your changes just walking in without a rezzy.

The ambiance is young and energetic and the service was very efficient. I tried the pancakes, which definitely made the experience worth it for me and the veggie omelette, which was good but nothing too special. Also, definitely order the hash browns, they hit the spot!
