Their tuna and avocado salad is actually pretty good but this review is for the pad Thai lunch special that I got, which is far the very worst pad Thai that I've gotten ever. There was absolutely no flavor in the very meat and egg sparse dish that even squeezing the tiny lime slice that's on the side and then spraying the dish with sriracha couldn't save it. I'm sure the sushi and non-Thai food options are fine here but do avoid the pad Thai noodles.
Delivery is prompt and you get a lot of food with a lunch special for only $10. You get an entrée, small salad, dumplings, and miso soup. I order the pad thai lunch special but was a little disappointed in how bland the sauce was on the noodles. Since I've had better pad thai for the same price, I probably won't order from here again.
My review is strictly based off the many, many times I have ordered delivery from here through seamless. They are my go-to place if i can not decide on anything else or it is late and most things are closed or no longer delivering in Tribeca i click on them. My food has always arrived promptly, has still been hot when i open it, and consistently delicious!
I like that I can order lunch specials, dinner, sushi and sashimi and I know I will be satisfied, the portions are perfect! I am also notoriously guilty for being that person with a bunch of add-on requests in the notes section and they always accommodate without a problem.
The $10 seamless delivery minimum is super easy to get to with so many tasty options. I always order veggie meals and dishes and love my food every time! Broccoli with garlic sauce and white rice is my most ordered dish and i always request it to be extra spicy.
One day i will actually make it into the restaurant and dine in….until then i will continue to enjoy awesome delivery service.

Thai Crispy Chicken Cutlet ($9) – another satisfying lunch, quality, portion and price all match = good deal!
The cutlet was cooked perfectly, the chicken meat was juicy and crunchy outside. It also comes with sweet chili sauce with fresh pineapple chunks (see my photo). The sauce is to pour over the beautiful cutlet and became Thai Hot & Sour chicken. I really appreciated the sauce that wasn't poured over the cutlet and kept crunchiness of the cutlet and brought here but in the side container. The cutlet tasted very tasty by itself.
Sweet beans weren't overcooked and crunchy fresh without green taste, yum! The spring rolls (2) came with were crunchy good so as the fried rice, to my surprise. It was smoky and light with small cut of carrot, corn, green beans and egg, highly recommend to try. Shiro (white) miso soup and dressed with a sweet carrot dressing salad were nothing special to write about but they were good.
I had been having a good luck from them so far. I more likely to try other dishes that I haven't try like Yelper recommended American sushi rolls.
Lunch specials..calling all lunch specials!!! If youre cheap like me and like to eat, come over here for lunch! for about $10 you get an entree, a small app, a salad and a soup. The shrimp shumai is small, but so good! very chrunchy on the outside–it only comes with two pieces in the lunch entree. The miso soup was kinda bland and the salad was alright. The vermicilli noodles with shrimp was good. Very generous portion, but only about 3 shrimps. Food comes out quick and service is very attentative.
Can't decide on thai/japanese/chinese food.. Why not come to this Asian Fusion joint? Was for there for dinner tonight, and the Thai Basil Chicken was not bad at all. A little spicier then I'd like, but it was also the first time I ordered the dish.
The servicce was swift and the ambiance is calm and relaxed. I tried my parents Chicken Pad Thai and wasn't overly impressed, but it certainly wasn't bad. I'd recommend this spot if you're with some wishy-washy friends, as their really is something here for everybody.
Solid lunch special–3 rolls for less than $12 and you get a miso soup and salad. I got a salmon roll, salmon avocado, and eel avocado roll. All were fresh, and they didn't cheat me on the cuts of fish.
On our last night in NYC, we found Arbor Bistro a block from our hotel! (Courtyard Marriot.) What a welcome surprise! We happened to go on a Monday night and it was free sake night with the purchase of any entree! I'm not sure how often this happens, but doesn't hurt to stop and see! My husband and I shared sushi and some seafood salad. We actually ended up ordering too much as the sizes were very big. We tried the tuna fresh roll, Kani Salad, and sushi rolls. The tuna roll was my favorite! Fresh raw tuna, avocado, greens, cucumber all rolled up in a rice paper roll. Super fresh and refreshing for the summer! The staff is also very friendly and welcoming and patient. I'd love to go back here on our next NYC trip 🙂
