Bok choy and rice were good.

Salmon didn’t taste right. The crust was fatty and tasted sweet. Also the brussel sprouts look burnt.

This little glassy bright restaurant Som Bo is one of my only true favorites left in New York. Asian-inspired protein bowl menu. Surprisingly good prices and not oily crap. Freshly cut steak bowl with two sides and rice only $15.50. Prices are such that they end up even with tax. Water available and plenty of seating. They have a delightful tomato-egg side dish and all the veggies are good. Not trying too hard. This was a favorite during Covid for me also. I hope it’ll stay in business. It’s a one-off.

I was greeted by a server named Juan. Very poor service give me an attitude at the front when I was paying when I asked him for a sauce on the side

Had the chili lime chicken. Was disgustingly bad - boiled, hard, inedible. Same goes for the brussel sprouts - over baked yet soft like it was a day or two old. Couldn't finish the food, would have returned it if I ate in. The kale was fine.

Loved it! Finally there's an authentic Chinese style light bowl fast food place--- the tomato fried egg made me feel like a very casual and hearty home dinner in China. I'll defnitely come back.

Don't recommend this place. The sweet potato noodles were greasy, and the chili lime chicken was as tough as eating thick cardboard. Staff was nice though

I order from them often; healthy and great tasting with many options and add-ons, all at affordable prices. This outlet is fast.

Almost closing time, 945pm on a Sunday night and wanted a light snack in NYC. Came upon this nondescript place on a corner in Chelsea and was pleasantly surprised.
Asian-ish, well prepared vegetable sides with very good grilled protein that may have been flank steak.
Very flavorful, fresh, crisp vegetables, steak medium, not tough, but toothsome. All preparations were well seasoned.
Carlos, behind the counter was professional and courteous, asking if we had any food allergies. Wow, the new New York City, this could work.

Good options and flavours for the price. Vegan options! I went in the late afternoon and the vibe was dry but maybe it was just the time.
