Need a gallon of water to counter the salt. Big portions but the ramen is weirdly overpacked with limp bean sprouts. So much salt 🥴
Very large portions, can easily split 1 ramen with 2 moderately hungry people. Many bean sprouts. Tskukemen is very similar to tonkatsu in flavor profile.
Big bowl of thick noodles with a large amount of bean sprouts and veggies! Garlicky broth that will make you satisfied.
Get the Spicy Pho Vermicilli! Spicy beef broth, onions, lime, bean sprouts, basil, and hosisin siracha, IF YOU DO IT BIG, get it with shin, tripe and tendon! Won't disappoint!! Great pho!
Definitely the best banh mí on the upper west side! Fresh, quality ingredients, amazingly fun tasty! Go with a classic or pork-lemongrass banh mí and pair it with a ginger tea.
You won’t find more perfect Pho anywhere else in this hood. The broth is delicately scented with sweet spices and so good, you might end up forgetting about the actual noodles.
This place is too cute! I had the Pad Thai Shrimp w/ stir friend rice noodles, egg, tofu, bean sprouts, and scallions. Great prices and great spot! :)
Sit at the bar for half off cocktails until midnight!
Drunken noodle is too spicy:-/ Garlic chicken is good for 4. The Sab is so fab!
Delicious salads. Hardly any seating inside though, so best to take it to go.
Winning friends with salad
my entire life
The bean sprout salad is so crisp and refreshing. Love the name Pillow Dumpling and they deliver. Bhan mi? hey, Bhan you!
A bit more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants, but totally worth it as the food is flavorful and fresh. Try the Summer Rolls, Pork Noodle Bowl and the Shrimp Crepe.
Sweet sausage fried rice is heaven!
Harvest salad was amazing! I swapped out the kale for arugula tho! 👌🏼
Great fresh salads. Creative ingredients. My favorite salad spot in NYC
Popular healthy lunch option.
Delicious Thai food. Hands down best on UES. Authentic to expand your horizons!!
Amazing food! Loved their pad Thai - it was perfectly seasoned and flavored.
Authentic and great. Pad Thai or the green curry
Carol Lim: "You can have a traditional bowl of ramen, but what I like there is the tsukemen dipping noodles. They also have these bean sprout noodles that are super healthy."
I'm not a ramen connoisseur but Minca is incredible. The vegetable spicy miso ramen was flavorful beyond belief. Huge plus - bean sprout noodle option! #glutenfree
Tokyo Tsukemen is the way to go on a hot day. Great alternative to Ippudo and other popular ramen spots - no wait!
The food packs a serious punch utilizing chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. Cough up the cash for big ticket dishes like the braised whole fish filet with soy bean sprouts in roasted chili spiced broth.
Big-ticket items such as “braised whole fish filet with soy bean sprouts in roasted chili spiced broth” and “Braised lamb filets with napa cabbage and roasted chili” are worth the larger tab. Read more.
Most authentic Chinese in Midtown E. / Upper E. Side. Try the cold appetizers such as Spicy Beef Tendon or the Sesame Noodles. If you want to be adventurous, order the Spicy Wok Tossed Duck Tongue.
The pho broth here is excellent. Looks oily but isn't actually heavy. The pork chop bun is also great. We enjoyed the crispy spring roll. Will definitely be back.
Delicious Pho, great bubble tea.
Banh mi here is amazing! Some of the best in town! Favorite is the special ham, pate, pork roll.
Beef bones simmer for hours creating a rich & slightly gelatinous stock. It's offered with soy, spicy chile,& miso. Beef, bean sprouts, corn, arugula, bamboo, green onion,& garlic chips add freshness.
Favorite new ramen spot on the UES. Friendly staff and great selection of apps, ramen and desserts. Recommend spicy beef ramen...just right if you like it hot! Must try the creme brûlée!
Chef Miyamoto dedicates an entire section of his menu to beef ramen. Order a plain one seasoned with soy ($10), or with chile oil ($11), but the best is the namesake ramen muddled with miso ($13). Read more.
Tofu soup is great. The bean sprout rice casserole is ok. Besr kimchi in town
Known for their fresh homemade tofu, this is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in New York. Order their tofu and have it with kimchi. Simple yet delicious meal.
Get the spicy galbi jjim. You can thank me later.
This place is awesome. So much fish and seafood. It's amazing, and all fresh. The staff is very knowledgeable, although slightly harsh. Exactly what you'd expect. Good prices and quality products.
Freshest fish around. Look at the #1 tuna.
Great employees who are very helpful. Also cheap prices.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
