If you're craving the kind of spice that clears your sinuses and sends your ears ringing, then…read moreyou've come to the right place. This restaurant is not for the weak. One bite is enough to send a novice spice eater to their grave. But that's why I love Xi'an Famous Foods so much. There is not a single item on the menu that you won't enjoy. I've tried a variety of dishes, all of which I've loved. Their pickled cucumbers are both refreshing and flavorful. Their thick flat noodles with your choice of meat are wonderfully saucy. Their dumplings, stuffed with either lamb, pork, or beef (you decide), were even more so drenched in sauce. Their "burgers" (not the American kind, mind you, so don't come here expecting something you can get from Shake Shack) had a satisfying flaky bread with wonderfully juicy cuts of meat. Sure, Xi'an Famous Foods is spicy, but it's not merely the type of spice that is all burn and no flavor. Xi'an's dishes are so full of umami that you'll crave days later. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

You can order at their register or self-service kiosk. There are only around 4 barstool/counter seats, so please note that this isn't necessarily a sit-down restaurant. You have the choice of less spice / regular spice for dishes than include sauces, but I opted for regular spice. The spicy & sour spinach dumplings definitely had a kick, but wasn't too overwhelming. The hand-ripped noodles were chewy and very filling. It did have bits of cabbage, but I wish there were more veggies to round out the noodles. It could definitely be split between two people - again, it's a VERY filling dish since it's 85% noodles.

Tried this location of Wonder today with a friend after having eaten over a dozen times at one of…read moretheir other locations. A generally positive experience and would come by again if I wanted something decently tasty and a slight step up in number of options compared to places like Dig Inn, Cava, Naya and Sweetgreen to eat in the neighborhood. This is a ghost kitchen with a variety of "restaurant names" and cuisines to choose from, and they have dozens of locations popping up in the NY metro area, marketing themselves as "a new kind of food hall." Order online, via their app or in person at a kiosk and food takes about 10-30 minutes to be ready depending on the time of day. Food is made to order and ingredients are fresh. Walking into this location kiosks and single non-gender restroom are to the back left, pickup shelves and counter to the back right, and about a dozen seats to the immediate right. We went with a couple of my tried and true options here: - chicken souvlaki and avocado open face pits sandwich from Yasas $14.20: comes with grilled chicken chunks, tomatoes, cucumbers, red pepper, feta, avocado, romaine, hummus, eggplant spread, and crispy shallots, on a warm fluffy pita. Kinda like a Mediterranean flatbread covered with lots of toppings. Tasty lunch fare. - build-your-own salad from Royal Greens $9.95+marinated tofu $2.50: choose your own lettuce and/grains mix, I chose kale and quinoa, add up to six toppings (I chose edamame, beets, pickled onions, cherry tomatoes, herbed broccoli, roasted sweet potatoes), two crunch toppings (I chose only croutons this time and seems like somehow they were missed), a mini pita (if it's early enough--sometimes they run out), with a choice of dressing (charred scallion is one of my favorites here). - for drinks ordered a Diet Coke $2.50 no description needed and Poppi root beer $3.50 which is a soda with less sugar than normal (5g versus 20g+). Generally speaking since there are many cuisines coming out of the same kitchen, feels like there are items used across recipes where some dishes may have ingredients and flavors that work better with other dishes. For example I've tried poke once from Hanu Poke and it tasted kinda like a salad from Royal Greens with chunks of not-quite-made-for-poke-cuts of salmon added. And the beef burrito from Limesalt tasted like it used similar ingredients as used in the beef souvlaki sandwich. To be fair the items that are unique I've tried so far are decent quality and delicious.

It was relatively quiet when I visited at 6:00pm on a Wednesday, but hoping the lunchtime rush is enough to keep the hall open!

Urban Hawker isn't a restaurant, but a food hall with lots of Singaporean and Malaysian food vendors. This means lots of different options to choose from. :) We split a Hainanese chicken rice plate and an order of chicken and lamb skewers, both of which tasted very yummy. While we also wanted to try a dessert, the dessert stall we were interested in was unmanned. We were also feeling pretty full from our main lunch items.

I heard about this Asian Singaporean inspired food hall in the middle of Midtown, so I was curious…read moreto try it out. I finally stopped by for dinner around 5-6pm. From my initial impression, I was honestly kind of underwhelmed. When I first entered, it seemed like a ghost town with so many of the tables empty like it had just opened minutes ago. Towards the later evening after 6:30-7pm, it started to get packed towards the back. This food hall consisted of several stalls mostly Singaporean & Indian cuisines - with some hint of Filipino, Chinese, Malaysian , etc. You order, find a table and pick up your food when it's ready. [Just note that some dishes come out in plastic containers as if you are taking it to-go even though you are dining in]. I opted for a Singaporean spot called Prawnaholic and opted for the #3 HOKKIEN MEE. Don't get me wrong, it was good. But I'm not sure that the dish was that good to equate the cost in terms of portion size or taste. Maybe if it was slightly cheaper, I could make sense of coming back, but otherwise, I think I would prefer buying other dishes elsewhere. Overall, I find that price are high (typical midtown prices for foods) for average tasting foods. I personally was okay with trying it once and would prefer other food options as opposed to this food hall.

This is an especially great place if your party cannot otherwise decide in a single type of cuisine. Everyone can fan out and find something that pleases them. We got there right before 11am, which is opening hour for many of the vendors. Everything seems ostensibly "carryout", even if the place where many carry what they buy are the shared tables in central spaces. We spent around $20 each for lunch, which is cheap when you compare it to many NYC options a cut above fast food. For quality and value, it'd be much easier to do worse than here than to do better.

I've been to another restaurant called the Marathon Café and enjoyed the taste of Hong Kong there,…read moreso I was interested in trying the Marathon Hong Kong Diner. Especially after seeing more videos promoting it on social media. It is located in a food hall and is the first stall on the right side. I ordered an array of recommended items: Marathon Signature Pork Cutlet over Spaghetti with Black Pepper Sauce ($20) - The spaghetti was cooked al dente and coated in a decent black pepper sauce. I appreciate that the cutlet was not thin there was enough sauce, and there was a good portion size. Hong Kong Style Macaroni in Tomato Soup with Beef and Onsen Egg ($16.50) - I was not a fan of this one. I'm used to the traditional HK macaroni soup with ham and a fried egg, so maybe this version of the dish just did not work for me. And the beef slices were tasteless and dry. Bolo Bun Cod Fish Burger ($14) - This was my favorite of the items. The bolo bun gave a bit of crisp and sweetness to the fish cutlet. There is a little too much sauce for me, but you can easily wipe some off. Crispy Chicken Wings (4pc for $11) - The wings were pretty tasteless on their own, but I enjoyed pairing it with the sauce. I did have to take it home and heat it up a little more though because the inside seemed a little pink and I wanted to be safe. Sweetened Ice Lemon Tea ($6) - I ordered this with less sweetness, but I think I should have ordered the normal level. It was decent, but something felt missing due to it. Overall, I would only go back for the fish burger. I've had better at other HK Cafes for everything else. But I like how the food hall had more seating down stairs and it's very clean. There is a 2-stall bathroom for men and women, as well.
