I've been wanting to try this for a while and was excited to see that they have a $15 all day special. I got the General Tsos Chicken and was really disappointed. It did not have the usual General Tsos Chicken saucy taste and it just tasted really bland. I might come back to just give the place another try and try something else off the menu but this was not a great first meal here. Other than the food itself, the staff was extremely friendly, and they have a water fountain you can serve and refill water yourself.

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!

Mona A.

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!

The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place was a little busy, and didn't take reservations, but we were seated immediately. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, which was delicious and flavorful, and also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill Manhattan. My only complaint was that I noticed a male staff member leave the restroom without flushing the toilet, which took away from an otherwise positive dining experience.

What I Ordered: - Pork Gyoza: crispy + flavorful dumpling, I liked the fresh grated scallion sauce, but could've done without the extra oil drizzle - Tokyo Chicken Ramen: tender chicken, solidly good broth + noodles, a side of pickled cucumbers is an interesting choice - Curry Don Rice Bowl: classic taste with chunks of pork belly, good sauce to rice ratio

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.
