Idk if she was having a bad day, but I’ve never been treated with worse cashier/help service. Openly talked back to my question and trying to grab my card out of my hands without telling me the total. Rude :( also ridiculous pricing the chicken was undercooked for 24 dollars like

Many food to choose from, hot and cold. Nothing better than seeing food with your own eyes and serving it yourself. You pay by weight, yes, but great, you choose what food, how and the amount 👍

This has been the best place to find my morning oatmeal while staying in NY. I can customize it with lots of toppings including fresh berries. Cheap too! Aside from that, they have an enormous selection of ready to eat for every meal as well as counters to order hot and cold meals. I usually take my food to the hotel room but there is seating as well.

Lots of reasonably-priced healthy options, but just a heads up that if you're here for work and planning in being reimbursed, you're better off paying cash (it's not written anywhere, but they charge extra if you pay by card; however the surcharge does not appear on the register receipt and thus does not match the amount on the bank transaction receipt).

They had a great variety of food and it was cheap. But you need to buy something to use the bathroom.

They are highly recommended. They have a lot of variety, there are fruits, nuts, oats and I liked absolutely everything I tried. Upstairs they have tables and chairs, so you can eat right there.
Vegetarian options: Oats, yogurt with fruits, "overnight" with nuts
Kid-friendliness: There are so many options that you can find something

Food poisoning alert! Please folks take the “pending grade” on the door seriously. I am currently still suffering from the symptoms of food poisoning after eating a wrap from this establishment.

You can have a cheap and healthy breakfast or lunch in New York. There are many Korean menus, so it's good to be familiar with them and the taste is very good. I came to New York and had a satisfying meal.

Huge buffet, for people who don't know what to eat, this is a great place that has an incredibly large amount of choice. Here you can simply take whatever you want and you pay according to weight.
I would recommend anyone who doesn't know it to stop by.

It was a wonderful find in New York! Here we could take balanced and complete steps at any time! There really is everything! Lots of fish and meat dishes, vegetables, cereals, salads, a truly huge choice of healthy and nutritious dishes.
Even for breakfast we found lots of things, especially for those who have a breakfast full of proteins, here we found a lot of choice and the best thing is that the dishes are cooked the same day, it felt like being in an excellent canteen where you could help yourself, from take away or consume on site!
Obviously there is also no shortage of "junk food" and various snacks, drinks, fruit, sweets! A fantastic discovery, for those who are perhaps tired of the lonely Chinese NYE 🍔 🌭🍕
There's one right on 34street Penn Station, near the subway stop!

The manager is one of the hardest- working, most professional , and accommodating people I have ever met. I am neither his friend or a relative, nor is any one I know. I am just a regular customer at the 8th Avenue eatery who is very impressed on how he is on top of everything always. I rarely have an issue, but when I have, he has been polite and helpful, assuring an acceptable outcome every time.
Vegetarian options: I am not a vegetarian but the fruit is fresh and ripe. .
