Food Depot Gourmet Deli
“Closed in "point and add" salad bar for you germaphobes out there.”
“Many of my colleagues are fans of the Mongolian bbq, but as always, my vegetarian tendencies leave me unwilling to eat anything grilled on the same surface as large quantities of meat.”
“If you come around 11am that's when they are putting out the items for the hot and cold buffet, if you come past 1pm, forget it, the pickings are slim (stick with the other options).”

Solid deli.
Lots of selections at fair prices.
Also because of the size you can find new items and a wider variety.
Example: peppercini Kettle brand chips? They're great. Try to find them at other deli's, ya can't!
Tuna is fresh. They also have an Italian version without mayo.
Good hot and cold bar too.
I'm a repeat customer.
I really like their Mongolian BBQ here. It is fresh and has many selections. Everything else here is a little pricey. They have tossed salad, sandwiches, sushi station, snacks, lunch buffet, drinks, etc.
You can find almost everything anything here.
Standard lunch deli catering to the crowd working near 34th street and 10th avenue where there is a lack of food. There's a good size hot and cold buffet here, standard salad station, sandwich station, soups, sushi and noodles. What is really cool is that they have Mongolian bbq. You grab whatever your want and put it into a bowel-meats, carbs, veggies and you can choose whatever kind of sauce you want and they will stir fry it for you. They have my favorite mushrooms-straw mushrooms too!
I think the food is a bit overpriced but if you come just once a week it's not too bad.
The food here is always delicious, and it's located conveniently downstairs from where I work. I've been coming here for over 2 and a half years now and my only gripe is that they charge Manhattan prices, it's really not their fault… but they did raise the prices on us last year during the oil price spike and have never brought it down ever since. A sandwich used to cost around $6 with tax, now it's almost always over $7. Breakfast sandwiches are great but run you around $3.25 now. No more grumpy guy behind the sandwich counter…
The hot bar has its daily specials: lemon chicken, barbeque ribs, stuffed shells, as well as its regulars: there's almost always grilled salmon and chicken wings, some variety of pasta, rice, potato… and the cold bar has a great selection ranging from asparagus to tofu, fresh fruit to seaweed.
There's also a raw bar where you can pick out random meats and veggies for them to cook in front of you mongolian style. They used to use the big wooden sticks until it was deemed unsanitary by inspectors.
There really is a great selection of food here. Lots of gourmet snacks and candy and beverages. Salads are pretty expensive though, you're better off going to Seattle Cafe around the corner for salad.
I popped in here after Comic Con the other day as I was in dire need of sustenance. The plan was to get something from the buffet that I noticed they had and then make my way to the concert that I had to go to at MSG but since it was later in the day and that it was NOT one of those 24 hour joints, the buffet selections were stored away and my only option was a sandwich and soda.
With that being the case I opted for a salami and provolone on a roll with a 7-Up and secured a spot in their reasonably sized dining area. The downside for me was no visible outlet to get some charge onto the phone since that was rapidly depleting and would likely not last me through the soon to be enjoyed X Japan show. My stay was not for more than 20 minutes since I was on a schedule but at the end of the day the price was reasonable and I did enjoy the sandwich. For me sometimes a quick visit does the trick.
I'm not in the region all that much with the exception of Convention events but if the chance should happen that I am around there and need something quick this is not a bad option.
Went here to grab a bite to eat before boarding a bus to Boston. Though it was around lunch time, there was not too many people around so I was able to order right away. It looks like they make most of the wraps and sandwiches beforehand and then just heat them up on the panini press.
I opted for a wrap with chicken and roasted peppers and cheese. I had no idea that the chicken would be breaded and while the breading was good, the chicken was definitely pretty dry. The rest of the ingredients were pretty lackluster, but I couldn't complain much because of the price ($6.50).
If you're looking for a cheap, quick snack, this is not a bad place, but it definitely is not as high quality as other delis around the city.
My company is in this building, and this building is in the middle of nowhere, I know you are probably saying the middle of nowhere in midtown???? If you have ever had the pleasure of coming to 34th and 10th – your options are pretty limited, especially if you only have to come into the office once a month, and if you are lucky you get 15 mins to go grab something to eat and then partake in a "working lunch"
They do have a seating area behind the coffee section, and the cashiers are friendly and efficient! Lines can be long at breakfast and lunch, but move quickly. The only thing that I don't like about this place, is that I wish they would use better plastic cutlery, they have the really flimsy pre packaged kind.
I do enjoy the food here, they have plenty of options, a salad station, a deli counter, a Mongolian wok counter, a hot and cold buffet, a coffee/ tea station, and plenty of different cold drinks and salty and sweet snacks. All major food groups are covered. Prices are pretty typical for this kind of fare in Manhattan, depending on how much food and drink you get lunch will run you about $12-15 dollars.
If you come around 11am that's when they are putting out the items for the hot and cold buffet, if you come past 1pm, forget it, the pickings are slim (stick with the other options). Deli and salad stations are fresh, made to order, and the Mongolian wok it pretty good too, my co worker swears by the spicy sauce!
I wouldn't call this a destination spot for anyone, but if you happen to be in the area and want a good variety of food, this is the place to be!
Beware!!!! This place was shut down by the health department on 9/12/14 and hasn't reopened yet. A co-worker and I went online to look up the health violations and there are many! Evidence of rodents and flies near the food and improper food temperatures are just a few that were listed. Even if Food Depot reopens, I will never eat here again!
