walked in sunday lunch. they were doing brunch still. about half the space was filled and service was relatively quick. there was a pair who were seated after us but got their food before we did... seems like they ordered something similar to us too but idk 3/5 protein scramble - got this with homefries and wheat toast. homefries were good! though a little dry. still glad i got it instead of regular fries. the scramble itself was a little dry- they definitely just fried some of the egg mixture (it had a clear bottom instead of it all being scrambled) and the chicken was dry too. i had both with ketchup but my partner thought it didnt need ketchup. 3.5/5 belgian waffle with banana and walnuts - the waffle was a little dry and didn't contribute to the flavor profile of each bite. the waffle with banana and walnut in each bite had a balance flavor and i liked it without syrup but it was a little dry so i added some syrup just for that reason. 3.5/5 Morir soñando - i first had this at malecon and their's was thicker so i was expecting that here too but it's definitely thinner. still good and had that creamsicle taste. 2/5 mochaccino - it was pretty watery and had almost no chocolate flavor at the beginning. then partway through i realized there was chocolate syrup or something at the bottom so i stirred it up only for it to be too sweet to drink now lol. lesson is to stir at the beginning i guess but i dont understand why they would serve it this way. shoulda stirred the chocolate syrup with the espresso then topped it with milk. the drink should be complete at the time it is served especially when there's milk foam on top (i just dont think to ruin the foam). *there's two sizes on the menu but actually our server said there's only one size probably wouldnt return but decent diner spot in the area. read more

First time customer. Ordered steak fajitas. Something simple , it was so gross. Tasted like NOTHING! Like they just threw "steak" and peppers together. No seasoning...nothing. I never knew someone could mess up a fajita. Also my son ordered a double bacon cheeseburger. Which was dry and tough with NO BACON! My grandson ordered a chipotle chicken wrap with is the only thing that was eaten at the table. $83 wasted!!!!! I'm so disappointed oh and grossed out too. At the end of the meal my dropped his phone on the floor and there was a dead cockroach!! Yeah that was it for me! read more

Solid brunch option if you are in the Washington Heights area. Fast friendly service. Wide selection of food. Most of our orders came hot & fresh. Just note that the spinach they use for the veggie omelette is frozen kind. Price is also reasonable. Spacious with ample seating. Bathroom is clean too. read more

Wahi Diner - American Near Me - New York, New York

We stopped by for breakfast after a visit to the hospital. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, and we were seated right away. We ordered Los Tres Golpes (mangu with eggs, fried cheese, and salami), an omelet with French fries, and Nutella pancakes. While the service was attentive and the food came out quickly, the meal itself was just average--nothing special. I could get the same at any diner in New York City. read more

A friend started taking me to this diner when I came to visit her and it has since become our regular place to eat when we don't know what to eat. Wahi's is humble, not pretentious and full of kindness. There's one lady in particular who works Friday nights normally and is the most genuine person. Never gets an order wrong and is attentive without being overbearing. For me if you can do the simple things good, I'll keep coming back. I always order a ham omelette with home fries and a side of white toast with butter/grape jelly. Never fails to fill my belly and leave me satisfied. Sure the atmosphere could definitely be worked on but nonetheless, we all go for the food and warm service. If you're struggling with what to decide to eat, take a trip to Wahi's, they have pages on menu items and I'm sure something will grab your attention. If all else fails, order a ham omelette. I promise it's delicious. TIP- Sunday-Thursday open till 11pm Friday and Saturday open till 1am read more

Wahi Diner - Crispy Strawberry Belgian Waffles with Bacon 3 Golden Brown Pancakes - American Near Me - New York, New York

ok diner but not impressed. The moment you walk in it has a real diner vibe. The waitress that took care of my table was great and funny. So let's start with my sandwich. It was no wherwhere near what you'd expect from a French dip. The meat was dry and it had a funny flavor. Almost cinnamon like. I also had to ask for gravy as it came with none. Dry sandwich, bad meat, almost no cheese. Yeah I'd say i won't be coming by anytime soon. read more

Wahi Diner - It's supposed to be a French dip - American Near Me - New York, New York

The best Diner in NYC to visit, the food was excellent, the staff was great plus the owner was very welcoming and gave us free dessert.

My son and I stopped there and I had the Greek salad with chicken, it was amazing. My son had the Wahi club sandwich. Went back a few days later and ordered another. Overall the service and the people were so welcoming. Will sure be our go to place for food. read more

Great food and service. Had pastrami sandwich with french fries. It was delicious and fresh. My husband had cheeseburger deluxe and enjoyed the food. We just moved in the neighborhood we will definetly go back and do take out. The waitress was nice and the manager Nick gave us dessert on the house. Great neigborhood gem!! read more

I used to eat at this diner when I worked in the area. After I retired I could not get there as often as before. However, I started to eat there again when I finished my appointments at NYP or CUMC. In any case, the food is good and the service is also. The staff is very courteous and attentive. read more

Y'all gotta try the Spinach Pie!! it's . Service is amazing. Clean and Great Atmosphere. If you're lucky you might meet the Owner Mr Nikos. Very friendly and down to earth.. If you're celebrating something special, let him know. You might get a dessert or wine on the-house.. I'll be coming back.. read more

I love this place. Staff is great, food is great, and it's just a warm friendly place. If you want an authentic diner experience this is it. Try the french toast it's really good here! read more

I've only been in a few times but I've ordered food a lot of times. It's a pretty standard diner vibe, but that's what you're looking for when you're looking for a diner. Take the order, food came in reasonable amount of time, not too many or too few checkins. They got a little bit of everything. Whatever you want, they probably do it. I've gotten a bunch of different items. Always good. read more

Great diner. Great service. Good prices. Breakfast the way it's meant to be. They know how to scramble an egg.

Pretty easy, no frills dinner. I stopped in for a quick breakfast and had the waffle deluxe, which was massive. The dish came with a Belgian waffle (obviously), sausage, bacon, and ham. I also added an order for scrambled eggs for $1.75. Because what's a waffle meal without a side of eggs? Overall the meal was pretty average. I will say that the sausage links did taste a bit rubbery, but other than that, I did not have any major complaints. My waitress was pretty much on point with everything. Is it the nicest looking diner? Nope. For the price and service, it is pretty decent. read more

Wahi Diner - Waffle deluxe + a side of eggs. - American Near Me - New York, New York

Went there this am, Nov 14, 2024, just a bit after midnight. Placed a breakfast order to stay by the way. Bacon came out extra crispy. I said to the waiter "I didn't ask for extra crispy". Then he said "I thought that's how you guys like it". Listen as a person of color and a black man in a diverse neighborhood, that's how we speak to people, when they are a person of color as well? Bad enough this neighborhood is changing. I am a native New Yorker, so that racist employee needs to go. So what are we going to do about this big Wahi? Because if I was caucasian, I put my life on the line that I wouldn't get treated like that. read more

Your local diner. Some very good dishes like their turkey or regular burger and fries. Most breakfast items are good and their avgolemono soup is delicious. The service is HIGHLY depending on which server you get... and they range from great to bad. read more

The food just tasted bad in general, the fries and bread had a weird aftertaste, the cheeseburger was just bad in every way possible, the cheese wasn't even melted on it and EVERYTHING WAS SOGGY. read more

I love the vibe at this diner. It has a local diner feel with great friendly servers. There are a lot of things on the menu so most food is good, but there are some things that are not great, such as the mash potatoes. read more

While we were seen quickly and our server was very nice, the food was mediocre and quite bland. read more

Wahi Diner - Shrimp Francese - American Near Me - New York, New York

Very average diner. The food doesn't blow you away but it is edible and tastes like food. Their portions are of diner proportions so it does fill you up. The prices are also just okay. I think for the quality of food and convenience of it all, it's alright but I probably won't go out of my way to try other things from here unless I'm craving food at 3am. This diner is also in need up some decor upgrades too. The booth I sat in had seats that were torn up and everything overall looked super worn down. They did have a regular influx of customers so I'm assuming that's a sign they're doing okay? Not saying they need to do a huge renovation or anything but maybe just replacing or upholstering the chairs/booth cushions could go a long way. The biggest plus was that the waitstaff we interacted with were very quick and attentive and checked in on us every once in a while to make sure things were good. read more

Wahi Diner - George's sub - American Near Me - New York, New York

I placed a delivery order a few time and there's been a few issues . I've also eaten in the restaurant and have been for years! This particular time I spend $18+ for a breakfast platter with corn beef hash, eggs scrambled with cheese and home fries. The delivery came and I received 2 boiled eggs and corn beef hash for $18. So, I walked to the diner to speak with the manager and they redid the order. I left and I checked the platter and they forgot to add the cheese SMH Went back to Wahi and told them again! So, they offered to put the cheese on it! At this point I was turned off! The delivery was incorrect, then I went to the restaurant and it was still incorrect! Incompetent staff at best! I simply asked for my money back and I will not be returning again! The quality of the place has gone down but the prices have gone up! George why did you leave??? read more

Service was absolutely fabulous. Friendly and attentive. My coffee cup was never empty. I had the egg omelette and a side of sausage and grits. Cooked to perfection. Its the 1st time in a northern state that the grits were great. read more

This establishment needs to be reconstructed when it comes to decor as for the menu it sucks we work at the hospital the only thing that I enjoy her is the chicken soup !!!!!! The older woman with the glasses that's the cashier needs to just retire!!!!!! She is all over the place!!!! This diner is only convenient because they are 24 hours and probably the only thing open late night for the hospital crew to get read more

this place gets zero stars!!! Ordered a Bacon, Egg and Cheese and they got this simple and common order wrong! To top it off when I receive the order the bag is crumble like it was opened and my sandwich looked tampered with under further review I notice a cockroach embedded in the egg ...gross! I call them to let them know and the rude woman who took my order said "what do you want me to do about?" in a very rude tone then went on to tell me I didn't order a BEC and never addressed the cockroach! I just took the loss cuz I don't want to eat there ever again! do not recommend! I forgot to take a picture ugh! read more

Great food. Huge portions. Friendly staff. A bit slow to take our order, but they work hard and hey, it's Sunday read more

One of the best egg with sausage sandwiches around - it had real sausage rather than a patty! That item was a reasonable price; however, the rest of the menu seemed high to me possibly because I'm not use to NYC prices. The diner is a great location if you have to pass time because you arrived early for an appointment at Columbia Presbyterian read more

I am a local in the neighborhood and have been going to Wahi diner for many years. it's one of the best diner in the city, good food, reasonable price, good portions and fast delivery. one of the only diners near me that are open 24 hours. I would recommend this diner if you are near the area and need something quick. read more

The waitress was unwelcoming. This morning I went and sat on the right back, near the bathroom. The waitress whom is Hispanic, lacked interpersonal skills and was condescending. She seemed troubled when I asked her for sugar! She was extremely rude when I asked her for another pickle. She scolded me and indicated that it would cost extra. She then returned with a plate with around 12 pickles! If I asked for an extra pickle, why would you bring 12 of them dear. Did you think I could eat all those pickles? We ordered a grilled cheese with tomatoes and bacon. It was delicious. We shared it . However , it was so good , we ordered another one to also share. The second grilled cheese was cold and soggy. The diner is filthy and needs to be updated! I do not recommend. I was charged $2.75 for extra pickles. Princess, you could have cut the pickle in half , like you did with the first order. The waitress seemed triggered and upset . I can't understand why , since I did not interact with her other than asking for the pickle and the sugar. Of course when it was time to offer the bill , her demeanor changed and she switched to kindness . I gave her 20%, little did she know my dining out breakfast tips usually start at 50%. Do better... read more

I placed two orders of French Toast from this diner through Grubhub. And they sent both orders to me with no butter or syrup. I called to let them know about the mistake. And the lady I spoke with tried to blame me -- claiming that since I didn't check the box to include utensils, that they didn't send condiments either. This is an absolute nonsense story as the box in question ONLY mentions utensils. I've ordered from this diner dozens and dozens of times before. And this is such an EASY problem to fix. But this arrogant, lazy woman wouldn't lift a finger to help. And I just couldn't believe it... I definitely will not be doing business with this diner again. Imagine driving away loyal customers over packets of butter... read more

I really enjoy coming here.. neighborhood friendly and extremely reliable. The food is always cooked exactly the same so you know what to expect. Its your typical diner- I love it! It's clean, the staff is super quick and efficient. Never have to worry about someone messing up your order (favorite part about coming here) and the coffees great. Very cozy. Came here today alone and was reminded of what a gem it is to have in the neighborhood. read more
