NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 42nd Street – Bryant Park Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

One of my favorite places to take visitors for a NY brunch. The main attraction is of course the wonderful Bryant Park location Chill in the park before leisurely heading to Bryant Park Grill to eat ! If you want to sit inside then a reservation is necessary with a phone call and a confirmation via text day of. The indoor seating was spacious and classy with friendly service. The food is about what you expect. Not great but not bad either.

I’ve live my life working in New York City! I always pass by this place going to work almost every single day! I’ve dreamt of having to dine here with my family. Until the other day, got a chance to have a dinner with my BFF - well first the surroundings is pretty much decent outside, inside dine in is just normal. Too bad the second roof area closed. The bar tender serve my bloody orange with strong kick with too much rum or vodka, which is not impressing unlike the drink i got my Blossom restaurant. So I rated the cocktail drink (2/5 for $22) is a bit too much! Let’s rate the Seafood Pasta (5/5) for the price is reasonable, it is big portion to share on of at least 3 people, so I would order that for my family. When it comes to Lamb Chops wow!!! I would say you nailed it, who ever the Chef making it I would rate 10/10. Lamb is my favorites…whenever I dined in the finest restaurant, if lamb is in the menu, I always want to try… Additionally, the customer care is exceptional!!! very flexible to their customer.

Nestled in the heart of Bryant Park, this restaurant offers a perfect blend of convenience, charm, and culinary excellence. The ambiance is inviting, the service impeccable, and the food was outstanding. I had for the Cobb Salad, a beautifully presented dish with fresh, well-balanced ingredients and a generous portion size. Our server was the perfect balance between attentiveness and discretion, ensuring a seamless dining experience. As we enjoyed our meals, the picturesque view of the park added to the atmosphere. Without a doubt, this is a place we would return to.

I have passed by this restaurant several times and had to check it out. The location alone was worth it. Right in the corner of Bryant Park. We were seated outside in the clear tent so we could take in the view of the park. The twinkle lights added a special effect to the experience. Dinner was excellent, the salmon was cooked to my liking and served with plenty of vegetables. A nice serving size. Soup and salad were flavorful and fresh. I especially loved the bread and butter. Server was friends, answered our questions, and very attentive. I love this place! A must visit.

The food was great. I have branzino with black ink risotto and for appetizer bread with vegetable spreads. I had a drink apparel Spritz and everything was delicious. For dessert I had the homemade ice cream. The atmosphere is great but there is a loud echo and hard to talk and hear eachother.

Where to start!? From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and sat quickly to our table. The whole atmosphere is just beautiful!! Our waitress Firuza, was nothing short of spectacular!! She was so attentive and quick to notice our every need. But more importantly she was sooo kind and genuinely cared about our entire experience. She is amazing at her job!!! Thank you Firuza! Our food was phenomenal!! My steak was cooked to perfection and the garlic bone marrow butter to top it was 🤤 chefs kiss* My wife had the shrimp scampi which was also a delight and very fresh! But the appetizer wagu potstickers....omg!! I could of ate 30 of them. If they have them, get them! The selection of drinks/cocktails is vast. We obviously had to try a few, and we were not disappointed! I highly recommend the Cucumber Stiletto! Very refreshing, especially after a huge steak! During our visit one of the managers(Seline)came over to just see how we were and if we were enjoying ourselves. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal. But we had already seen her in action the entire time we were there and could see how much she cared about her job, but more importantly about how everyone was enjoying their experience. She was genuine, kind, and extremely professional! Which if you know anything about NYC, this isn't common. We will be back solely because of Firuza and Seline. Not to mention the food is fantastic which is a nice bonus. We'll see you guys in September for our 1 year wedding anniversary!!! Thank you for an amazing night out and the wonderful experience!! Ethan and Evee.

First of all Kayla Starr was our waiter, where do I begin. She is nothing less than amazing, her service was top notch and she catered to our every need & I would recommend anyone to come just to have her as a waiter. She made me birthday experience worth it! Thank you again !

From the moment we stepped in we felt very welcome! The environment was very fun and friendly. Our server Darija gave us exceptional service! It was our first time here and she broke down the menu for us, gave us recommendations!

We had such an amazing experience thanks to our server, Dariya From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her food recommendation was spot on — it ended up being one of the best dishes we’ve ever had! Throughout the entire meal, she checked in at just the right times without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about providing excellent service. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her again. Thank you for making our night so enjoyable!

I LOVED my first time at The Lambs Club! It’s the classic old-school Manhattan experience done right. The food and service far exceeded my expectations. I had the white asparagus soup and carbonara and both were sensational (it’s hard to find a proper carbonara anywhere these days, but they nailed it). One of the few Theatre District staples that lives up to the hype; can’t recommend it highly enough!

My daughter made reservations for three of us on the recommendation of a friend. We were seeing & Juliet nearby and I was a bit anxious, having read some of the recent reviews. Let me preference by noting that I do not give high scores easily. However, every single Experience of our dinner was a 10 out of 10. Our waiter Sudip Asked us whether we were seeing a show and kept tabs on the time. He was very attentive, but not too attentive if you know what I mean. A true professional in every sense Our meals, the atmosphere and the service were exceptional. I will absolutely return and highly recommend my friends eat here as well.

Dined on New Years Eve and had an incredible experience. The food preparation was immaculate, service was completely on point and venue is gorgeous. They helped us ring in the New Year in the most special way NYC has to offer. Will certainly be back again!

Wanted a nice fancy meal before a Broadway show and found lambs club. The service was fantastic, as well as the drinks. The food was tasty but not amazing and for the price a bit disappointing. The steak was good but the sauce lacked, and the potato was quite small, being smaller than the onion! The desert was quite in my taste with a berry jelly.

The food was amazing. They even took into consideration that we were going to a Broadway Show after so everything could arrive on time.

I had a great experience at this sushi spot! Vincent was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He made sure our table was always clean and refreshed our silverware with every course, which made the entire meal feel elevated and thoughtful. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend for both the sushi and the service!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The restaurant week menu was sumptuous and generous. Best of it, only a nominal supplement charge for the filet mignon, unlike most restaurants had outlandish supplement charges. All the dishes were feast to the eyes (plating). The hostess (Victoria), the server, the busboys, and the manager were all super friendly.

We had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated, which was frustrating and set the tone for the evening. Once we were finally at our table, it was hard to enjoy the atmosphere—the noise level was overwhelming, making conversation nearly impossible. The service was very slow throughout the night. It took a long time to get our drinks and even longer for the food to arrive. When it did, the sushi was… fine. Nothing stood out, especially considering the high prices. For what we paid, we expected a much better experience overall. There are definitely better sushi spots in the city—quieter, more attentive, and with food that feels worth the cost. Doubt I’ll be back.

I L-O-V-E Koi New York! Koi made my birthday dinner so very special, which unexpectedly coincided with the restaurant’s 20th birthday too! Regardless, this is my absolute favorite restaurant ever! Impeccable service, amazingly delicious food and desserts, and beautiful atmosphere… every visit is truly memorable! My favorite dish, you ask? The Black Miso Cod with the green beans, but the Skirt Steak and Fried Rice ain’t shortstopping either 🤤
Victoria Spaulding-Burford - 5 months ago

This restaurant was perfect from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out. We came without a reservation in rush hour , the hostess was very nice, asked us to sit down and within 20 minutes we had a table. Super friendly staff and food was extremely fresh . BTW , here is the best lychee martini! Next time I’ll make a reservation for sure !

Authentic Szechuan food with a creative twist. Every dish we ordered was delicious and hit the spot with the right amount of spice and flavor. Surprisingly reasonably priced. Even though we didn’t try the cocktails the menu and names looked definitely interesting. Very cute and chic decor inside. The only downside is that it was very loud so we had to shout to each other throughout our meal. Will be coming back.

I’ve been coming to Café China for years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently great. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever ordered something I didn’t like here. The scallion pancakes, in particular, were a standout on my most recent visit — perfectly crispy, flaky, and packed with flavor. Overall, just a reliably great spot that continues to deliver.
Abdullah - 3 months ago

Been wanting to come here for a since they moved a couple of years ago. Their old space, now called Chili, has a lot of the same dishes. My favorite there is Mr and Mrs Smith. Curiously named, I thought, until I came to Cafe China and saw the exact same dish called Husband and Wife Special. Instead I ordered the smoked tofu cold dish. Lots of spicy oil and numbing peppercorns. Could use some more peanuts and scallions in the dish but still tasty. The Spicy Fish was fried, and comes with lots of dried red peppers, cilantro and 2 limes. Delicate flavor and lightly fried. The tea program is on point. This oolong tastes like a 2nd batch from a high mountain plantation. Very good

I've visited this place many times over the years and it never disappoints. I love ordering the sautéed string beans and spicy fish fillet every time I go. The portion size was good, but I think it has decreased recently.

Delicious and filling! Would go back. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. Ordering was smooth, drinks were delicious, food flavorful and filling, and service was attentive. Since it’s family style, the split among four people landed us about ~$30-50 before tip. Space is pretty big for the location but you need a reservation for most days since it’s smack middle of midtown. Highly recommend!

We came for the braised pork with abalone, and it did not disappoint. The pork was fresh, tender, and perfectly balanced with just the right hint of sweetness. The abalone was delightfully tender and free of any fishy taste. The braised scallop was an unexpected highlight — paired with bamboo shoots and broccoli, it created a refreshing and flavorful combination. Even the watermelon at the end was pleasantly natural-tasting, not overly sweet. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’d gladly come back again!

This is my no. 1 go to restaurant in midtown. I come often not only it closes to my office, and such friendly service, delicious food with affordable price in mid town is rare! I love to try new restaurants but I always come back to this one! They made me feel welcome all the times! Today, we ordered dry pot beef with griddle cook chili and cumin, braised fish fillet with cabbage and chili, Ming bean jelly salad, wok-tossed crispy lamb with chili cumin. These dishes have different spices and flavors, and perfectly combined together. I also recommend the water melon juice and the dessert. Again, they gave good impression to my friends from Taiwan and a Spanish guy new to Chinese cuisine. (Their food never disappointed me in a single time I went. I wish this restaurant will continuously doing great in the bad economic.)

Very authentic Sichuan cuisine!! As a pig trotter lover, this is my second time at this restaurant! I stop by every time I pass through New York, and the portions are always huge. Every soup and noodle dish I’ve tried so far has been delicious, and the service is excellent!!

Today I was passing by Manhattan and saw Szechuan gourmet, which has been open for over 20 years. It brought back so many memories. It still tastes the same as before.

I had always wanted to try this place. The service was exceptional by my server once seated, I gave her a large tip. So friendly and helpful in a really sincere manner. I ordered a platter and it was good. The cheddar bay biscuits were mouth watering. The lobster was cooked perfectly, the shrimp was nice, the scallops nice but a little overdone. Overall enjoyed it and delicious cocktail. Couldn't finish it, huge meal. Thought it was odd the cocktail menu had no prices . They are $13.99 each, not bad

Had an amazing dinner at Red Lobster! The food was absolutely delicious—everything was cooked to perfection. The highlight of our experience, though, was definitely our server, Crystal K. She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. Her service was top-notch, and she really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We had an unforgettable time, and the food was just bomb! Highly recommend this spot, definetely reserve the table upfront

There is lot of confusion about where to eat in Time square, NYC, there is plenty of restaurants but this Red Lobster is unique, less crowded, great hospitality pleasant ambience and finally great food. Moreover they maintain clean restroom. This is my first time to taste Red Lobster..wowwwwing taste, the price is $59 expensive but good for 2 persons. Margaritas so good again very very expensive..altogether $92 bucks, but hey you are at World’s Top happening place..worth it

For me being a person who can't eat seafood Angelica was amazing at recommending options. Came for my daughter and I don't regret it at all. Food was amazing. The margarita flight was good too. Definitely coming back again.

I haven't been to a Red Lobster like this one. Absolutely fine dining. I even loved the music 🎶. The food was delicious. Our host was super nice and friendly. I'm going to post his picture. Just know if you get him, everything will be perfect. I highly recommend this location.

Achari Paneer Roll was very delicious - loved it! I highly recommend it! It's suitable for vegetarians and they have also other vegetarian options available. Also their Mango Lassi had good taste and service was quick. This was our first visit here and we would definitely come back again! The restaurant is located very near to Bryant Park.

Finally came here years after my sister brought a Kati Roll, from here, home. Coming to try this out was in the back of my mind for awhile. To start of, the Chicken tikka roll is DELICIOUS. There was soooo much flavor and the meat was juicy and delicious. It is a good amount of spice too. The momo and steak tikka roll were okay. Definitely would not order the momo's again but I will 100% come back for their Chicken Kati Roll, and try another protein type. Incredibly kind staff too

I love this place. Visited from out of town in 2018 originally and have talked about it since then, so we had to go back. It was just as good as I remembered! The chicken tikka roll has so much flavor, and the pan-fried chicken momos were tasty, too.

Kartı roll has got multiple Branches in Manhattan. We went on 39th street. Food ambience and service was awesome. Limited menu with excellent choices. Served with chai, sodas and beer - special Mention Rupee beer.

This is my first time visiting the restaurant, and I’m already enjoying both the food and the atmosphere. Like typical Indian cuisine, the dishes are flavorful and delicious. I especially love the bread—it’s chewy and tender. It’s a self-serve spot, and you can choose to dine in or take your food to go; there’s a seating area in the back.

Walked in to BXL on a rainy day and was so happy we did! Absolutely amazing house BXL beer, our server Alfonso was great, and the food was incredible. Whether you're looking for a place to have a good beer, eat some fantastic food, or watch a futbol match, or do all 3 at once, this is your place! My wife and I shared the lamb sausage sandwich and fries and chicken wings and we could not have been more pleased! The menu had a wide selection and I think no matter what we ordered we would have been impressed!

My friend from TX and I went to BXL Cafe for a dinner in April. I saw the good reviews, and I wanted to try Bergium food, but it turned out bad experience. I was looking for having Mules Frites Provençale, which is supposed to be cooked with Tomato, garlic and fresh basil. But the waitstaff made a mistake, he brought Mules Frites Mariniere which was cooked with celery and onions (on the menu, it say white wine & shallots). I told him he brought wrong one, which he admitted the mistake and asked me "Do you want me to bring a tomato sauce to add? It'll be the same. In our kitchen, we cook mussels in the same way no matter the types, and add tomato sauce." I was so confused with his explanation. Shouldn't he be offering a new correct dish? Anyway, he brought just plain tomato sauce on a bowl to add. Of course, there is no garlic, basil in it. Pouring plain tomato sauce over the mussels was like a bad joke. Not professional.

I visited on a Wednesday for a late lunch of Moule Frite. It was very good and the portion could definitely be enough for two people. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Lots of French Belgians too. Definitely returning.

Their coffee was delicious (also has a kick to it) and comes with complimentary refills. Their tasty oatmeal is unquestionably the best in the Times Square surrounding area, it is at its best before 8:00 a.m, they open at 7. They will serve it with warm milk on the side if asked to. At breakfast, their scrambled eggs came with room temperature home fries on two different dines there. They offer a tasty egg salad sandwich (pictured) at any time of the day. For lunch there I have had their chicken soup which was decent, the broth's flavor was mild. Their hamburger ($14.95) was very ordinary, was dry, and had little flavor. It was cooked well done even though I ordered it cooked medium. They offer a 5% discount for cash payment, remind the cashier if she forgets, that has happened twice to me.

Stopped by Red Flame Diner for breakfast. The waffles were pretty good — light and tasty. Tried the omelette too; it was decent but could’ve been better. Service was quick, and it’s a convenient spot if you’re around Midtown. Good option for a classic NYC diner experience.

A true American diner, middle of Times Square reminded me of the time I lived in states. Never ending menu. Fast service. Coffee refills! And my favorite cheddar and crunchy onion omelette! We had our breakfast 3 out of the 5 mornings here at NYC!
Durba Gupta - 4 months ago

This is the very typical and quintessential diner experience. A diner shouldn't be overly opulent or nice, neither is this one. It's the perfect blend of Old world diner aesthetic, friendly staff, huge menu etc. The French toast, lattes, and eggs benedict were excellent. But excellent in that way like good Chinese food or good Mexican food shouldn't be gourmet and that's what you expect. I love the place we'll be back!
