Variety Cafe, New York, New York, American Restaurant Details

Food:

This place... ugh. I only ever go here if it's raining or snowing because it's the closest thing to my office. They have a wide variety of stuff, from Asian hot buffet bar, Mongolian bbq, salad bar, udon bar, burritos, sandwiches, roasted meats, sandwiches, smoothies. With this amount of food, everything is mediocre. Avoid the hot food bar because you put in a few items and before you know it, it comes out to be $18. There's a strategy to the hot food... don't get anything heavy. Mongolian bar is good though.

Food:

Best cafeteria style option in the area. The mongolian buffet is what brings me back. You can pick your own meat, sauce, veggies and noodles to be cooked up fresh. If you are looking for a healthy option this is it, they cook with water and whatever sauce you use, so don't use much. There is plenty of seating upstairs and the breakfast options are good as well.

Food:

This is a clean cafe, with lots of variety for lunch, especially, if you're interviewing, or entertaining someone who might be picky. Not the cheapest cafe in the area, but if you want clean and lots of choice it's worth it.

Food:

This place definitely has the variety! It is one of the pricier places for lunch, but their selection is very good and can probably satisfy a lot of hungry people, so why not give it a try? Some of the things at this location include: hot/cold buffet bar, create your own salad option, daily soups, sushi and udon noodle soups, Mongolian grill, sandwiches, dessert/breakfast counter... Whenever I come here, I tend to spend a minimum of $8, but I'm satisfied with the food. I really like the udon noodle soups; it's hot and flavorful and a decent portion. Upstairs has all the seating that overlooks the market of food below. When you pay for your food, the cashiers are usually very very quick, so if you are looking for exact change to pay, you will probably stall the entire line, so I would recommend paying with a credit card, or just pay the bill and get coins back if you don't mind.

Food:

Much cleaner than other delis that offer the hot & cold self serve buffets. A staff that actually smiles & food that looks fresh, it's worth an extra dollar or two than you would normally pay.
