“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.“

“The pizza is excellent, there is a modest amount of space to eat in, and they have a bar so customers can enjoy an adult beverage with their meal. Friendly service and a reasonable wait makes this good value for one’s money. We will be back!“

“Line moves fast. Smoothies have yogurt that contain fair bit of sugar. BUT you can substitute that with unsweetened almond milk

Can also add whey protein to any smoothie. Was good to get something healthy and with protein while traveling“

“Highly recommend. Excellent healthy food“

“Didn’t expect to find my best crispy pork belly of the year at a Thai spot!!! The skin was insanely crisp yet slightly chewy. The dipping sauce on the side was perfectly balanced.

For the main, we went with the panang short ribs. The beef was coated in a rich, mildly spicy curry. We added steamed veggies instead of rice and they fit curry.“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant and couldn’t have been happier. All the food was so fresh and delicious. Truly the best sesame balls I’ve ever had. They were warm and chewy. The salmon bowls were also great. Recommend the phoenix balls for dessert. They were gorgeous. Highly recommend!“

“I made my own, so I loved it, used my left overs for an omlet the next day.“

“Bilal was very kind. It was my first time visiting this establishment and he helped me make my first order! I’m on a new diet so his patience was appreciated while I picked my meal :) Will visit again. Foods fresh and the crispy chicken is delish. If you order online it calculates the amount of protein / calories for you.“

“This is my first time having just salad and the area on 670 Columbus ave was clean spacious not crowded and my salad was made fresh and the worker Kevin had a great attitude was nice friendly for it being my first time I created my own bowl and he recommended the cilantro lime vinaigrette dressing and it was so good and fresh …I enjoyed my salad and will be coming back to this location“

“Omg I️ love your salads it’s so amazing and the service was awesome I️ appreciate the welcome to chow I️ give most appreciation to Alexus she’s a very hard working independent god bless you guys and your amazing salads“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“

“Juicy, delicious shashlik and lula kebab — the liver was especially surprising, so tender and succulent. Good service. The space is a bit dark; I would add more lighting to the interior. I would also add complimentary tap water, as is common in all restaurants. But none of that matters once you start eating — these guys definitely know how to cook meat.“

“Stumbled upon it and absolutely loved my late lunch.“

“sin duda una Rica ensalada, un lugar muy limpio, el personal muy amable, atención de 10. volveré....“

“Great spot with reasonable pricing. Cooks can make literally anything you ask with fresh ingredients, amazing taste. Place was clean and great atmosphere. Only thing I would change is cooks to have a better communication system with cashier to charge you accurately and quickly as we can quickly forget what we added to our sandwich. Other than that I will definitely return.“

“Excellent burgers“

“I come to this chopt very frequently as it’s right next to my workplace.

The staff never fails to greet me with a smile even during rush hour. When it’s busy the staff works effortlessly in sync. Orders are speedy and on time.

Manager Jasmine is always there assisting along with all the others, never had an issue here and I likely never will thanks to them!

Very professional and I love the salad selection here!

10/10 recommend“

“simply the best. The food and drinks are perfect every time. Whether you’re ready for a full meal or just some drinks and snacks Bar Madonna always hits the spot. Plus the staff are not only super attentive but also drinks experts that can make you just about any cocktail you’re craving. Definitely a crowd (or date!) pleaser, highly recommend“

“The street adjacent to this restaurant is a literal Fortnite lobby. I swear I passed Tung Tung Tung Sahur crossing the street. The thing about this restaurant is that it is inspired by Thai street food and you can tell they did the distressed tiles to make it seem lived in. But that vibe is offset by a super Brooklyn-y merch section and pricing. Not that i’m complaining. The smash burger and crab fried rice (wym a crab fried this rice??) were delicious! The fried rice particularly spiked my LDL levels that’s why it tasted so good but if your cholesterol is high then have 911 on speed dial. It comes with a spoon of palpitations (yuzu miso butter) on the side. My mouth is watering
@kismette on substack for reviews“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“The place is cozy ☺️, the food is very good and tastes fresh, the service was incredible and patient, they recommended the best options for us, and they didn't disappoint with the dessert either, which was delicious and well-presented (tiramisu)🤩. We will definitely be back soon🍝🙌“

“Ordered two pizzas. Pizza crusts were spot on and tasty...overall some good pizzas. The sauce though.
A previous review mentioned the sauce was sweet but that they probably don't add sugar to their tomato sauce. I would disagree with that assumption. Half way through the pizza ... The sweetness kinda took over for me. And that's just a personal preference maybe?

Service was cold and not the friendliest.
The set up itself was decent enough and clean... They had some latin music playing which was ok.

I'm not sure I'd come back if I was in New York next. If you enjoy sweet pizza sauce you'll love this place because the crust was really good :) Just the sweetness of the sauce was not to my taste.“

The food leans a bit sour, but it was actually a fun experience. I’ve never had avocado with lemon before 😂.

Most people order through DoorDash or Uber Eats, but they’re definitely missing out on the best part: the interior design. I love the creativity from the food presentation to the overall ambiance.

100% recommended 🙌“

“Keeping it real out here in Astor place
This is hands down my favorite chopt location. Eaten here so many times, it’s spacious, well lit and service is always on point. Def not easy to run a store this well in nyc right now but they’re doing it well. They always have new seasonal flavors too, ok I’ll stop fanboying now“

“Great, i love this place.“

“This is my favorite spot for Lunch. I usually order the salmon bowl, which was not only beautifully presented but also packed with fresh, vibrant ingredients that made every bite delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfect for a casual lunch.
One thing that stand out the most is the variety of vegetarian options on the menu, making it a great place for groups with different dietary preferences. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Considering the quality of the food and the experience, it offers great value for money. I’d definitely recommend it and will be returning soon!“

“The restaurant was dark and extremely loud. My friend and I could barely hear each other from across the table. The server was very friendly. There was a Wednesday happy hour deal on drinks so the meal was very affordable. I'd go again.“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Every dish I have tried has been amazing, and the quality is consistently excellent.

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always provides great service. The atmosphere is comfortable and makes you feel at home. Whether I come for a quick meal or a special occasion, I always leave satisfied.

This is one of my favorite restaurants, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I will definitely keep coming back!“

“This was first time coming to Chopt and for sure won't be my last. The way everything is so fast and entertaining to watch plus Mike mixed my salad so fast while holding a conversation with me and assured me that there were no nuts in the salad since they store them in separate containers. Overall just a great experience here! Thanks Chopt and thanks Mike!“

“Absolutely delicious food. So wonderful and so many options. A good sized portion too and so many ways to mix and match the various toppings. Perhaps it'd be nicer if some of those toppings didn't cost extra but overall I very much enjoyed what was on offer.“

“Kind family owned business with the best Fettuccine I have ever ate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Every time I come here, I’m welcomed with such genuine warmth and kindness by Jennyferr H.

Her humanity and positive energy truly make a difference — it’s incredibly pleasant to feel real human warmth, even for something as simple as picking up a salad.

Honestly, if more people had this level of kindness, many businesses would thrive much more.

I’m a loyal customer, and with people like her, I’m definitely not going anywhere.“

“Great place for a healthy and tasty lunch. I go nearly daily and they have wide selection and super friendly staff. Definitely a call out to Jerel who greats you with a positive attitude and always makes sure your order is perfect.

Give it a try if you haven't already“

“I love this location! And Gian is the absolute best, speedy service and always brings the good vibes. With all these expensive restaurants opening up in the neighborhood, it's nice to have a reliable and affordable lunch option. Plus the ingredients are always on point, good selection and always fresh.“

“A close walk from the Met. We went on a Friday night and asked for an outdoor table (our reservation did not indicate either inside or out). Service was wonderful. We started with the meatballs which were good, but it was only 4 small meatballs. I enjoyed the Rigatoni with Sausage and Mushrooms. The fettuccine with beef ragu was also good, but missing a little something. The cannolo for dessert was a highlight.“
