@foodie_starry This bite hit different. Savory Soybean Pudding - must order with chili oil for the full experience Fried Dough Stick - not quite the same as home, but still so satisfying with soy milk or tofu pudding Steamed Veggie Bun - freshly steamed, big and fragrant, just like home Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns - not super traditional in shape, but flavor's on point Purple Yam Congee - with red dates, not sweet at all, just comforting Numbing Shredded Chicken - super flavorful, pairs great with congee Shredded Carrots - sesame oil makes this side dish sing Mucho Orange - mango, orange, strawberry, banana & coconut milk = summer in a cup Iced Oat Latte - HUGE cup, great value!

Z14. Mapo Tofu is decent

Solid Chinese takeout that is pretty authentic. The winners are the mapo tofu and the beef noodle soup

Mango Slush

I order here from time to time. They're not bad if you want something quick and enough bang for your buck. Shrimp tempura and spicy crab roll were good, the dumplings I didn't like at all, they tasted of pork only and no other aromatics, but they were ok. Love their soup because it's simple and pretty good. Shrimp tempura were ok but not the best. Overall not my favorite but not bad.

Miami Lemonade
Emily S.

Good for a quick bite - food was fresh made, as I was advised the soup dumplings would take 15-20 minutes even though we were the only ones there, which I definitely didn't mind for fresh food. Dumplings were good, Chicken Ramen was mediocre and had a rather fishy taste to the broth. The Miami Lemonade, however, was delicious! Butterfly Tea + Sparkling Lemonade. I would go back for that!

Spicy Salmon Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll 2 Rolls Combo D3. Steamed Pork Buns Breakfast
Emily W.

So many options (blessing and a curse) with very little description of the items. Tried some sushi, steamed pork buns, and beef noodle soup. The soup had a flavor profile far different than what I was expecting-- not bad, per se, just not what I typically enjoy. The sushi was fresh and rice was cooked perfectly; good pricing as well. The buns needed an accompanying sauce but has great potential. I'm no expert in this cuisine and I'd be willing to try other items here.

Authentic Chinese breakfast spot in time square. The buns are fluffy and flavorful! Love it

Kiosk
Zee G.

We like all things bubble tea. Stopped by and ordered using the kiosk. Very easy and helpful to see the product and customize everything from sugar to milk type, etc. ordered the matcha latte with coconut milk and grass jelly as well as the caramel milk tea. Wait was quick. Drink choices also seem more natural than most bubble tea places...that could be all in my imagination. Store is clean, with seats to relax. I think I'll try it again for sushi.

I have to say I am surprised by quality of the food served here. Usually an Asian fusion lunch spot like this will try to sell everything to cater to everyone, which comes with compromise, especially during the the 12 noon lunch rush. For drinks, I got the Taro Milk Tea ($5.25 for Medium). This is as good as any of the brand name boba tea shops for possibly less in price. My friend got the Superfruit Oolong Tea ($7) which he really enjoyed. For food, I got the Signature Noodle Soup ($16), which comes with shrimp, beef, chicken, egg, and bok choy. The broth is rich and the ingredients used taste fresh. This by itself is filling. My friend ordered the House Fried Rice ($15) and got it spicy. This came with Beef, Shrimp, and Chicken. He was kind enough to allow me to try a few bites and I was surprised how well this tasted. Not overly greasy like you'd think from a typical take-out Chinese restaurant. He was only able to eat half of the portion and save the rest for another time, which speaks to the portion.

Fun self order place with a lot of variety at reasonable prices. Decent quality and fresh. Good option if you need a break from the prices and just want to relax near Time Square or the Port Authority.

Breakfast set with Tofunao, Shengjianbao and Youtiao
S H.

Amazing 生煎包 dumplings. I didn't expect such a cozy spot for Chinese breakfast to just so casually exist at Time Square? Youtiao dipped in Doufunao is wonderful too. Such a nice nostalgic meal. It was self service for the most part so not much to say on service. Staff is very down to earth and friendly though.

Gina J.

Came here for breakfast with my family and really enjoyed it. The food was very authentic, the pan-fried buns, fried dough, and freshly made soy milk were all excellent. And they open early at 7am, which is perfect for breakfast.

Tea
小美

The iced grapefruit green tea was so refreshing! Made with freshly squeezed juice, it tasted super fresh and natural. Perfect drink to brighten up the day!

Z12. Spicy Shredded Beef

the food taste good, server is friendly and I am surprised the meal i order come out in a bento box way. Overall great experience.

I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

Honestly, I'm surprised this restaurant has a four-star rating. While the service was excellent,…read morethe food was consistently disappointing. We started with a lychee martini that tasted overwhelmingly of vodka, with barely any lychee flavor. Of the appetizers--the seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and edamame dumplings--the cucumber salad was the best. The seaweed salad tasted like a standard prepackaged version, while the dumplings had an unusual, unpleasant flavor and tasted as though they had come straight from the freezer. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and udon with tempura. The udon was acceptable, but the tempura was excessively oily, lacking the light, crisp texture you would expect. Even the chicken teriyaki was underwhelming; it tasted more like a reheated, prepared meal than something freshly cooked. The sushi was another letdown, with an odd flavor and appearance. The dynamite roll was especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and very little flavor beyond a touch of heat. The staff deserves credit for their attentive, friendly service, but unfortunately, that couldn't make up for the quality of the meal. We left feeling genuinely disappointed.

After trying a dozen of sushi/omakase places in New York I can definitively the best I've had…read more The omakase at Sanyuu West is honestly unbeatable. Every single fish is very high quality I find many places like the skimp out on the less popular fish but not Sanyuu West. I think the omakase is also at a very good price for the quality and amount you get though I know it is more expensive than maybe the average omakase spot right now. I also find that other spots usually underdeliver. I wish I could save more detail but honestly I have nothing more to say other than the fact that Sanyuu Weat amazing. The restaurant itself is also more spacious than I expected. Besides the main bar there are two sitting areas near the window as well as seats lined up to the bathroom to make yourself comfortable two things that I think are a rare find now in many places. A lot of thought is put into this restaurant layout and I think you can tell. The service was also great I found myself never lacking in water or waiting too long for my next piece. In fact, I had started to apologize about drinking so much water because I felt like the hostess was constantly at my side refilling my cup and she just turned to me and said, "don't apologize. Drinking water is very important." So true!!!! I'm very picky abt my recommendations to friends, I'll review any place I go to and give my thoughts but a real recommendation? I only have around a dozen or so. And Sanyuu West is definitely now part of that dozen.

I love how the flavors mix so well together, I felt like I was in heaven! the service was amazing, like the never left my water cup empty!!! (props to them) the ambiance inside was also super calm and vibey. overall, I had such an amazing time and I would love to go again soon

We got the corn ribs, pork tenderloin katsu, and the mackerel sushi. The corn came out first and omg - this is some of the best corn I have ever tasted.

It was quite a tiny portion but it's nyc lol. The only item we didn't love was the sushi - for me it was just a bit too much ginger and wasabi and since it was pressed it was already a part of the sushi so it was hard to separate.

Stopped here for dinner on a Saturday on a whim and was so happy with our choice! We walked in and…read morewere seated right away. It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece. My mom doesn't always have the biggest appetite so for her to be able to order only a few pieces instead of an entire roll was a huge plus! I had to crispy tuna rice appetizer and the dragon roll. Literally so good. I was seriously craving crispy rice and these were perfect. I would order this again and again. The sushi was fresh and taste great as well. Super glad we decided to come here!

This evening we were going to a jazz club where a friend of our son works at, but they don't serve…read morefood, so we had to find a place in the area of where the club is at. Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
