    Busy inside, with a dining area in the loft just one flight of stairs up. I ordered a beef ramen, which comes with vegetables, and it was definitely a noodle soup but it may be a disservice to the Japanese people to call this a ramen. It was fine but I was definitely in the mood for actual ramen, so receiving a spicy noodle soup with broccoli and zucchini amongst other western veggies was a shock. They have many other dishes available, though, so perhaps those are more standard. Quick and easy meal to grab when you're in the area. Plenty of seating upstairs.

    I passed by tabletime in order to get to Bryant park from where I work which is next to Grand Central Terminal. It's smaller than the other market places, but it does its job. They have a buffet, salad bar, sandwich station, asian station, and etc.. it gets fairly busy here around lunch time. It's in a prime spot. I decided to try it out and got stir fry noodles. I got Pad Thai noodles with chicken mixed with Pad Thai sauce. Overall, it was alright but it didn't taste like what I would get at a Thai place. Maybe I should've tried their burger or something else on the menu. You can either dine in or take your food to go. I'm most likely not going back as this place is a dime a dozen.

    Great spot for breakfast. Hot food service is quick. Lots grab to go items as well. Fully stocked convenience store. Tables and seats on the second floor. Friendly staff.

    Soondubu FTW. Choose your veggies to add in. Comes with a whole block of soft tofu, an egg, and rice on the side. I went for the seafood version, but chicken, beef, pork available, too. The guys behind the counter were pretty fast, but it was also a late lunch. Perfect when under the weather. Takeout to nearby Bryant Park on a good day. Shoulda saved it for 2 meals!

    Loved this place, the sandwich was so good. Lots of options on the menu, definitely going back. Perfect to grab lunch & head over to Bryant park for a picnic date or friends. They also have seating on the second floor so you can stay & dine there. The choice is yours.

    Tabletime was one of those lucky finds when I'm hungry for a fresh prepared meal. As soon as I saw the sign that they have a buffet I went inside. This place is fantastic! Everyone I spoke with was so gracious. I saw the buffet and knew I wanted to stay. I asked if I could use the restroom first and the nice employee let me in. The restroom is clean too! I realized if I purchased the buffet I needed a place to sit to eat. I was told there's seating up the stairs above the buffet. I was definitely a happy camper. The buffet is $11.99 a pound. I can't believe how much food I got for only $6.50. I love the fact that they have breakfast items. There were so many choices I took a little of everything. Who else eats fish and pancakes! As I was leaving I saw all the other merchandise they sell. They make custom salads and serve French Toast, sandwiches and so much more. The pastries are individually wrapped and on display. The seating area was spacious and very clean. When I was finishing my lunch people were starting to come in. I came at the perfect time because it wasn't busy and I ate in a quiet atmosphere. This place is definitely FIVE STARS and when I'm in the neighborhood and I'm hungry, I'll be back!

    Every time I go to the city, this is my number one spot for a quick and delicious meal. Everyone here is so welcoming and the service here is very quick and efficient every single time. The food here is so good too, I ordered their soondubu and I would definitely order it again.

    Talk about a hidden gem. Nestled next to a popular burger chain awaits a convenience store, meets deli counter, meets buffet, meets a ramen eatery. Honestly so many options here your hungry stomach will always be satisfied. I couldn't decide between a stir fry or a salad and the gentleman behind the counter was very nice and didn't pressure me to decide in that moment. I went with building my own salad (needed some greens) and for $10 and change, the portion was wonderful. You get 1 base, 1 protein, a premium topping and then unlimited veggies- I loaded my salad up! After the salad was dressed, I was good to go! The shop is right near Bryant Park so stop in, grab some lunch and head over to the green for some fresh air and a tasty lunch.

    Tabletime BACON!

    One of the few restaurants in the area open on Mon 8th June covid20 (NY's phase one reopening plan). It's like a deli with no cats. A pub that doesn't play music (limited alcohol buying hours on Sat and Sun). A pharmacy but smaller. A food hall but posher. I think they stock a bit of everything. AND it's soooo clean. Quick friendly service. My to-go food tasted great and was very filling. Prices very reasonable as well. Note well, service was REALLY pleasant. I apprecilike and would definitely return if I'm in the area again. Thank you Essential Workers! The End.

    Kid loved cheeseburger ("one of the best I've ever had") and curly fries. (I just got a can of Japanese beer. It was good.)

    Stopped in for noodles at lunchtime on a Monday after visiting the NY Public Library and couldn't have asked for a better quick bite.

    I came here for a quick preshow meal but unfortunately it wasn't quite as good as I hoped it would…read morebe. We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

    Went here a few weeks ago with friends and finally getting to write my review upon reflection. I…read moreloved the variety of vegetarian options that were available. I was NOT a fan of their mushroom friend rice. It was a plain white rice with sauteed mushrooms and corn. That's it. I expected a bit more and fresh ingredients especially for the price. I thought the rice would be at least been fried? I asked for some soy sauce and spice just to add a bit more flavor to it. However, our service was great and I cannot say enough kind words to the staff. The rest of our company enjoyed their food. My partner ordered a ramen which he enjoyed and wished there was more ramen options available for being a ramen (advertised) restaurant. Overall it was a good experience to try!

    Cozy no-frills ramen bar near the theater district. I enjoyed a delicious, balanced bowl of Paitan…read moreramen ($19). No complaints, except that I guess I prefer Tonkostu (pork bone) over Paitan (chicken bone). I appreciated sitting at the bar to watch the lone ramen monger stir around the next batches of broth, hand-torching some chashu; boiling, whip-drying, and gently nestling my noodles, then manually laying out the toppings. The dish feels real, personal.

    If you've ever missed the original Totto Ramen days in NYC, Toribro feels like a true throwback to…read morethat era but elevated. This spot delivers the kind of authentic paitan that reminds you why people used to line up on cold sidewalks just for a bowl. I ordered the Paitan Ramen Deluxe, and it genuinely lives up to the name. The broth is silky, rich, and comforting without being overly salty which is exactly what a proper paitan should be. The bowl comes loaded: tender shredded chicken, seared chashu, marinated soft-boiled eggs, fresh scallions, bamboo shoots, and a sheet of nori that ties everything together. Every topping tastes intentional, not just filler. The texture balance is what really stands out fatty chashu that melts, shredded chicken with real flavor, and noodles that hold up beautifully in the broth. You can taste the care in the soup base; it has depth, not just heat or salt. If you loved Totto Ramen back in the day, this feels like its modern successor same spirit, new precision. Toribro isn't trying to reinvent ramen which they're just doing it right. And in NYC, that alone makes it worth a visit.
