  1. This unimaginatively named establishment is located next to a DMV. They share a similarity utilitarian aesthetic and lack of reputation for good cuisine.

    This place occupies the basement of a large office building. If you don't work inside I doubt there would be a single reason to come. (I do.)

    There's an attempt to do all sorts of dishes here from American Chinese classics like sesame chicken and lo mien to a Korean bar with kimchi fried rice and bulgogi sets and even a pizza oven. None of it stands out, although some things are less offensive than others. The ramyun – the Korean version of ramen – isn't bad, especially when ordered with an extra helping of the fiery sauce. Three chicken wings and a scoop of white rice makes a cheap, if not particularly nutrias lunch. The oatmeal is nice and rich, although I wish more toppings were included.

    Never, ever order the pizza. Avoid the roast meats that sometimes appear on the steam table. Skip the pressed sandwiches. All of these can be had for better within three blocks.

    This is a place of convenience and a captive audience. I just wish the recent renovation would have also brought with it a rethink and improvement of the food on offer.

  2. I was walking by here at 4:00 p.m. today and decided to have an early dinner from their salad bar (they also have a hot food bar, but by that time most of the choices were gone because they close at 5:00 p.m.).  However, they had a very decent amount of salad-type items (including pasta) and everything was tasty & fresh.  The price was $6.99/pound.  The young (female) cashier was very nice – and so were all of the guys working there, with the exception of one who was rather brusque.

    This place has an "A" rating from the Health Department.

  3. I came here to get a smoothie.  It was a decent portion.  The prices here are high though.  A small banana and strawberry smoothie came out to $4.30.  I guess it is FiDi, and most people have money to spend on the salad bar which is $7.99/lb.  I saw breakfast meals as well as pizza, Korean meals, and even fried foods and rice.

  4. OK service and food.

    Got the Korean bibimbap LOL.  Weird they would have this in a deli in Wall Street!!  It was okay.  The beef was good but they didn't give too much.  Whatever.  It was like a last minute scramble to find food.  I would stick to sandwiches.

    OH!  AND, you have to pay mother trucking 10 cents for a plastic cup and 75 cents for a cup and ice????  NYC Wall Street, you are ridiculous!  🙁  thumbs down.  I don't know if all places are like that in NY, but that was just plain stupid.  I won't be drinking any ice or anything! -__-

  5. Come here for the bulgogi over rice

    I just come here for the Korean food. I've had the bulgogi bibimbap and the seafood bibimbap here, but I'm not a fan of the choice of vegetables. It's too diced, julienned would be better and I hate raw lettuce in bibimbap. The seafood was good.

    Spicy chicken over right was alright.

    On the other hand, the bulgogi over rice is highly recommended.
    The mouth watering meat came together well with the sautéed onions and peppers.
