Triple decker with fries
Alicia R.

Deli with a speakeasy?!!! Came here for the Reuben, but was caught checking out the happy hour specials. There's a velveteen curtain next to the deli that I otherwise wouldn't have noticed that leads to a large bar/speakeasy area. Food was delivered to us in the back as I enjoyed the ambiance. Service was friendly and welcoming. Oh right -the Reuben, the reason I was here to begin with was quite delicious. The triple decker is made with Cole slaw, ask for kraut if you're looking for tang. Great value and delicious!

A nice find in Manhattan. I got the triple decker sandwich and it was delicious and a great value in a city that can be expensive. The staff was friendly. Not a ton of seating but not a bad experience at all.

This is the blandest, most overcooked food ever. Really disappointing. Also the cleaning mopping is done while you are sitting there. Really unpleasant. No "excuse me". Just a mop on your feet.

Reuben sandwich with Fries
Amelia D.

Food 4.5/5 - I am judging this Deli based on its genre. For a sit down deli this was an excellent Reuben sandwich, good portions, solid amount of fries, yummy dressing. The bread tasted like rye but wasn't marbled, not sure why. They also had some pre-made paninis and hot bar items I did not try. Ambiance 4/5, classic New York mix between a diner and a deli with seating for about 15 people. I saw some young couples here on dates which was cute. It's definitely a spot for people who live here not tourists trying to have a flashy time. It was reasonably crowded (I grabbed the last seat at 3pm on a weekday) but I could see it being packed during a lunch rush. Service 5/5 - everyone was super friendly. They gave me honey mustard on the side and were prompt with the service. Price 5/5 - in the inflation era of Manhattan being able to sit down and eat a meal in Midtown for under $15 ia increasingly rare.

Lovely place with the friendliest staff, fair prices, great food (served super quickly) and a variety of seating options due to tables in the front and access to the bar in the back as well. Recommended!

Pastrami Sandwich and chip and a Philly cheese
Julie S.

This place is amazing! Food was excellent, reasonably priced and portions were great. True taste of New York with a wide range of selections. If you can't find anything to eat, you probably aren't hungry! We ate here 3 times in a 5 day trip to New York

Really enjoyed my meal at Lola's. We shared 2 apps and 3 mains for 3 people and found it to be the…read moreright amount for us. The food was all very flavorful and each dish was unique. Here's the rundown: - naan: recommend this, though maybe overhyped myself based on previous reviews. The yogurt sauce was delish, but the bread itself was very good but not mind blowing. - BLT salad: dark horse fav! Tons of flavor and I kept going back for more. Recommend as an app - Union Square bento: honestly, wish this came in a real bento box. Seems like a miss, but I suppose separate plates give you more volume. Good to add as a side to whatever else you get. Cabbage was the best of the trio. - rice bowl: squash and rice were solid, but the shrimp was the standout here! Very flavorful shrimp. Not sure how they packed so much flavor into the little bites of them - fried chicken thighs: I mean, yes. They're juicy. They're fried excellently. The side sauces are creative and great for vinegar-lovers like me I also got the carrot cocktail which was ultra smooth and had the right amount of dill flavor. We got two cookies to go which were divine. I'd get them to stay to try it with the oolong milk next time, but we had to run. The service was friendly, courteous. Ambiance was trendy but not uptight. Would recommend for a nicer night out

Food was divine, I had no complaints, and I felt deeply satisfied. I really enjoyed the watermelon…read morewith the tuna sashimi. I ordered their fried chicken thighs because it's what they're known for, and I get it. You can tell the chicken was brined, and it had an excellent crunch. This is a restaurant I would also go to on a date or if I wanted to dress up and look nice with friends, but I'm still glad I went by myself.

My cousin recommended this spot, saying it was a great choice if I was looking for something…read morehealthy, and it definitely delivered. The concept is similar to Chipotle, where you build your own meal by choosing a protein, grain, sauce, and toppings. I created a bowl with white rice, caramelized steak, broccoli, and pesto, and paired it with a strawberry mint lemonade. The portion size was enormous--I easily could have stretched it into three meals. Even better, the food tasted just as good as it looked. The pesto added a ton of flavor, and while I usually pair pesto with chicken, it worked surprisingly well with the caramelized steak. The strawberry mint lemonade was also refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. My only criticism is the lack of seating. There are only a handful of stools and one small table, and every seat was occupied when we visited, so we had to take our food elsewhere to eat. If they had a bit more seating, the experience would have been even better. Overall, this was a delicious, healthy meal with generous portions, and I'd gladly stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

MUST READ I have recently seen a video online where a worker of this chain had not just denied a…read morewoman of free tap water but said she can not stand inside. I dont know the full story however this sweet heart of a woman was simply wanting a drink. So she asked a gentle man about to enter the building if he could help her. She was clearly stuggling. He said sure would you like something to eat. She said " yea... and some ice water" she walked inside to this place with the guy getting her food to wait. An a worker said You cant be in here." My question is, Why???? Another employee getting the food for the gentleman to give to her said, she has been trying to have a drink of water all day.( other- Co worker seemed like she wanted to help but the other worker was preventing it) Sweet grass.. if you care so much look up this video and read the comments and tell me. How can an employee treat someone so badly.
