    I come here quite often for bagels, and for the last two times there has obviously been at least half the amount of cream cheese on the bagel. Today there was so little I can't even perceive the taste of any cream cheese (see photo). I have no idea what has led to the drop off in quantity, but it's really unacceptable, since in no way can this be defined as a bagel with cream cheese.

    Wu + Nussbaum's Bagels - Egg, Salt and Pumpernickel Everything
    Mike R.

    Wu + Nussbaum is one of my nearby "go-to" fresh bagel places to pick up for home, especially due to the sad shuttering of old school Absolute Bagels down the street. My preference is their regular Pumpernickel and Egg bagels! This time, out of Pumpernickel, tried Wu + Nussbaum's unusual Pumpernickel Everything, which for some reason has oats included in the "Everything." Also took a couple classic Salt. (Tasty, but I'll stick to my personal preference of just plain Pumpernickel next time and avoid the well-coated Salt.) While I've been cutting back on my sweets, was enticed by their muffins. Opted to try two of Wu + Nussbaum's varieties: Chocolate Cream Cheese and Peach Vanilla. My preference and reco - the chocolate, which was more like an extremely moist cupcake! The other was also nice, but more like a traditional muffin with a dollop of peach on top. Would certainly recommend Wu + Nussbaum's baked goods! Living close by, however, unlikely I'd ever try out their sandwiches. Also, haven't gone for any of their Chinese options, although there are too numerous worthwhile similar places with the same both nearby and elsewhere in Manhattan.

    I loved this bagel and was sad when it was over. My fault really for eating it so quickly. I had an egg everything bagel with lox, egg, and cream cheese. Maybe it's a weird combination, but I like it. Needed some protein and carbs. Stopped by in the Am, was in and out in less than 10 minutes. It's dangerous for me that this place is a block from work more visits to be had for sure.

    1/2/26 around 3:30 I went to pick up my order. I had ordered a bagel and then separately I ordered an orange juice. After I picked up the bagel, I went to take the orange juice and they told me they didn't have that order. I showed them the receipt from DoorDash and they told me that I needed to call DoorDash because she didn't have the order. I told her I didn't need to do anything because I placed the order and I paid for it and here's the receipt. I took the orange juice and she goes "so you're just going to take it?" I told her yes I was because I paid for it. I've had poor service here before and I decided to give them a second chance. But they don't get a third chance and I will never be back here.

    lunch bento box (shrimp/broccoli, wonton soup, pork dumplings)
    Michelle L.

    Great dumplings! Horrible bagels. Would've given 4 stars if I didn't dislike the bagels. They are dry and honestly a shame to other bagels in NYC. Other food is great though! I love both their pork and veggie dumplings. The shrimp/broccoli in the bento box was fine, not super flavorful, but I'll take it. However, their crumb cake was delicious! Overall, I will still return for their dumplings while avoiding their bagels.

    Egg and cheese on an egg bagel
    Bonnie Y.

    Objective three stars but I am addicted to whitefish salad and drop $15 on it too often here, so spiritually four. The bagels themselves are okay, nice and dense and chewy, but not a crisp exterior. The sandwich architecture is variable. I can't speak to the Chinese food since I haven't had it except for one time when they wrongly gave me an order of noodles. I will say the food is not actually fusion, as is obvious when looking at the menu: they just happen to sell both Chinese dishes and bagels. Staff are efficient. Music is loud and when it's busy, even louder, so would recommend coming with a group or taking your order to go.

    Everything Seeds Cream Cheese
    Emily G.

    I used to come here back when it was Nussbaum and Wu. I remembered the amazing smoothies, the bagel sandwiches. I am glad it's reopened and slightly rebranded, and Asian food is on the menu!! Sad to see that the smoothie bar is no longer, but I'm glad smoothies are on the menu. I ordered the Mr. Berry and an egg bagel with egg and cheese. The smoothie was very watery and disappointing. By the end, it was clumpy; it seemed that the substance sank to the bottom. My egg bagel sandwich was okay! (I wish there was more cheese, but other than that it was great). I have not tried the Asian food menu items here, but maybe next time.

    Black/mocha cookie
    Austin K.

    Yelp check-in of 10% off but I didn't see it until after. I only got the black/mocha cookie. I couldn't taste the icing flavors too much but the cookie itself was cakey and moist.

    Chicken Noodle Soup
    Conrad L.

    Close to Columbia, this place serves up a wonderfully unique mix of Chinese and Jewish comfort food. The chicken noodle soup was the perfect prescription on a day when I dealing with an annoying cold. Lots of good stuff to see here!

    lox, egg, and onion bagel
    Jennie C.

    be warned: the lox, egg, and onion bagel is basically an omelette pumpernickel is good here the staff lowkey look like they are bored as hell here!! but they are generally nice i like wu and nuss more than absoute bagels nearby for example bc there is more seating where you can chill while waiting for food also outdoor tables

    Shrimp Classic Lo Mein Noodle
    Alice P.

    My first time ordering from here based on my coworkers recommendation. I ordered the LoMein add shrimp. I have to admit that when my food arrived it didn't look appealing. It looked basic and bland. I quickly looked for the soy sauce and found there was none provided in my delivery. Ugh. No napkins either. Just chop sticks, which I eat with, but not everyone does so be aware. With my first taste I was able to honestly say they no additional flavouring was needed for me. The shrimp was fresh and the veggies too. It was much better than it looked and way too much food for me. I will have leftovers for tomorrow. I would definitely order again. FYI, my office mate ordered the meatless General Tso' chicken which she raves about. Give them a try!

    Wu Nussbaum is a fusion spot mixing Asian and deli-style food. The bagels are okay, the lox is pretty good. My usual order is an everything bagel with cream cheese and salmon, or sometimes a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. It's better to go early in the day--the quality drops a bit later on. I'm not a fan of their dumplings, but it's worth trying if you're into fusion food. I mostly stick to the bagels. In and out type of restaurant, more of a pick up destination!

    We found this place next to our hotel in Times Square and we ended up eating breakfast here almost…read moreevery morning! Great bagel sandwiches (sausage egg & cheese was my favorite!) and their iced coffees were amazing! They serve them in plastic/metal sealed containers so they tend to stay cold longer. I tried 3 different coffees in 3 days and they were all great! Service can be a little slow at times because it gets CROWDED in the mornings, but I won't knock them for that. Also there is only a tiny area to sit but it's NYC so that is typical.

    The ambience was really inviting as the decor was whimsical and colorful. For a rainy Sunday the…read moreplace was packed, but my husband & I were able to secure a table to dine in. For it being our first time, we were a little confused with the ordering process, and they were so busy that it took a while to be acknowledged. There were kiosks to place the order, but we couldn't find a place to request special requirements, so we had to figure out how we could order at the register amongst the slew of other customers. Our order for 2 bacon egg and cheeses were called with a biscoff iced latte and we were excited at first. But when we opened the sandwiches our bacon was just 3, maybe 4 fatty pieces when we specifically asked for crispy bacon. My husband settled for his, but I requested a reorder where they corrected the bacon issue, and even put more slices. Besides that snafu, I was excited for my latte, but was also underwhelmed by the taste. I assumed since it was a biscoff cookie latte (which I love) that it would be sweeter... The establishment was nice, and there were so many selections, so we would give it another try before writing it off completely.
