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

Lovely space with beautiful views of the park. Sat outside under the tent on a beautiful day so win win. Service was very attentive and very polite and cheerful. Cocktail was tasty, but not spicy. Garlic and ginger shrimp was good but unless you grabbed a slice of ginger or garlic in the bite it just tasted like olive oil. The shrimp were not cleaned but I think that is my personal preference. Stir fry pea shoots were good but nothing memorable. The olive oil cake was good but I have had better. The tuile served with it was delicious. The blueberry ice cream was very good. I saw some salads and burgers being served that looked delicious and will be back again to try those.

Food was very good but not exceptional. You will enjoy dining here, nonetheless. Every dish is well plated. We served with flare by Renee'. Welcoming and helpful staff with disabled guest. Again thanks! On nicer days head to the top for the best view with bar. If you're lucky grab a table and dine up there. Great view of historic, beautiful Bryant Park. Garden Dining Room overlooks park, too. Selections: Tomahawk Steak for 2 with stuffed Potatoes. Tender & tastes steak with onions, enough for 3 hearty people, large stuffed potatoes with flavorful Chimicurri sauce, Wild Mushroom Ravioli with veggies in parmesan broth. Very good tasting ravioli filling. Pork Belly in soft pillow with pureed Sweet Potato-best tasting plate of the dinner. Delicious puree. Grilled Vegetable Platter-6 Broccoli stems; 2 radishes slices; 1 large cooked beet sliced healthy heap of hummus with mushrooms & 2 pitas....$27.00 (big profit margin, lol). Recommend Bryant Park Grill just for the experience and view, just don't order the Grilled Veggie plate.

I had lunch during the month of December with my family, we were 7 people. Reservation is a must. The service is excellent, all the staff is very friendly and profesional. The quality of food, very specific the meat is excellent. I will repeat it again. The restaurant is big with Parisian-style, big windows with a lot of natural light. It’s loud in case you are looking for something more quiet. This place is great for family parties and friends. After or before eating, I recommend to have a walk around which is nice. Highly recommended.

We are at the Bryant Park Grill and enjoyed the fact that it was located on the edge of the park. The views were lovely. The food was very good and their menu is sizable and diverse. Our table server was very friendly and attentive. The only negatives we found was the receptionist was not very personable, not rude, just not friendly. The other issue was a dirty spot on the curtains adjacent to our seating. Not a big issue just out of line with the rest of the decor. Overall a pleasant experience.

Great feeling overlooking Bryant Park, service staff impeccable and attentive, even at the door during Christmas crowds. Food all good as expected, despite the full house crowds. Only hit is the high price for this place. Parking also an issue as it's directly sandwiched behind the library and the park, so will need to find parking in nearby parking garages.

Food and atmosphere was great! The steak here is GOOD. It doesn't come with any sides, so would recommend getting something on the side. Server was readily available when I needed, atmosphere is lively and club-like. Large wine collection with plenty of entrees and raw dishes if you don't want steak. Happy hour prices looked good so would visit during that time if you can. Bathroom has a full collection of mints or gums with Listerine! Jack helped us today and everything went very well. Would definitely visit again and recommend!

From the moment we walked into STK Steakhouse, we were blown away by the stunning decor and the vibrant atmosphere. It's truly the most beautiful restaurant setting we've experienced. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and every detail made our evening special. The food was absolutely out of this world—each dish was perfectly prepared and delightfully presented. Our server, Cameron, deserves a special shout-out for making our visit memorable. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind—easily the best server we've ever had! The entire staff was amazing, ensuring that our service was seamless and every need was met with a smile. If you're looking for a top-notch dining experience where every element is executed to perfection, STK Steakhouse is the place to go. It's more than just a meal; it's a celebration of fine food and great service. Make sure to sit in Cameron’s section, he was phenomenal!! Thank you, STK, for a perfect evening! Five stars all the way!

This was my first time at STK after recommendation of a coworker. Our server #nick@night was fantastic he was one of servers who managed to be there right when we needed something his service can only be described as excelsior!! The vibe I really enjoyed and the music was great with the live DJ. Food was well worth the price! Everything was not only cooked to perfection but had a twist that was unique to the STK experience that added to dishes in a positive way. I definitely will be finding a reason to come back!

I recently dined at STK and had an exceptional experience. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring every need was met promptly. The food was simply amazing. The steak, cooked to perfection, was juicy and flavorful, easily one of the best I've had. Additionally, the drinks were well-balanced, complementing the meal perfectly. Overall, STK provided a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend.

This is a very nice upscale restaurant on Times Square. I had a girls dinner with my friend. We had a really nice warm welcome and pleasant experience. The staff made sure we are comfortable and attentive. They came to greet us by our name to ensure our services are taken care. Indeed, knowledgeable and would recommend us options that cater to our taste buds. Every staff were highly professional. We will definitely come back again and let people know that the food are amazing as well!

This place was superior, had brunch with a friend here recently and it blew my sticks off. The decor was splendid and modern with a huge fireplace making it feel as if I was home in my mansion eating in the living room space. This also may have been the best burger I’ve ever had and well worth the price. Drinks come just as good as they look and strong. The staff was so professional I forgot I was eating in the heart of NYC. Totally recommend this place for This wanting not only a fine dining experience but good quality, elegance and supreme taste!

I have been to the Lamb’s Club for both a brunch and dining sitting and both experiences were exceptional. The space is funky and very comfortable. And there is no trace of Times Square whatsoever even though you are just half a block away. Great spot for pre or post theater bites. Service is efficient and attentive. For dinner recently I had the steak tartare to start. This was a good mix of flavors without overpowering the beef. Second, the Stanford White burger. One of the best burgers in the city. And for dessert, the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. This was a great fall taste with great textures. Super experience and I recommend it to all.

Okay so I’m baffled at the negative reviews on here. For context, I’m occasionally ranked as a top 10% Google eatery reviewer. The atmosphere and vibes are spot on - classy, elegant but not stuffy or pretentious. Service - we were doted on but not smothered, our waitress and the host were fantastic checking in on us at appropriate intervals. The small plates including the sticky rice and others are clearly the star of the show here. Me and my friend got a bunch of small plates and sushi rolls. The sushi was above average but I feel on a relative basis the small plates are just pure awesome. I would come here for a business dinner, anniversary date, probably too much for a first date in my opinion and maybe a small group of friends. Fun Fact: Koi is the restaurant in LA that Ari and Eric have dinner in. The LA location is the original. 11/10 recommend. No hesitation.

Koi Sushi New York is a gem located right next to Bryant Park. We made our reservation through Google Maps, and the entire experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff went above and beyond to help us select the best items from the menu. They truly did a great job, and the sushi was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with dim lighting that adds to the charm. If you’re a sushi lover, Koi Sushi is a must-visit!
Nicola Beetschen - 4 weeks ago

Great atmosphere and close to a lot of things , including Bryant park. The sushi and the drinks were absolutely enjoyable. We got there early and had reservations and after 20 minutes from opening they got slammed .So I do suggest reserving a table.
Jesse Langston - in the last week

We had an excellent experience at Koi last night, from the staff to the food. The scallops were possibly the best I’ve ever had and the peppercorn filet was perfection. We’ll definitely be returning.

Koi Sushi near Bryant Park offers stellar service, but unfortunately, the food falls short of expectations. I tried the chicken karage, spicy tuna hand roll, and baked crab roll, and while they were okay, they didn't quite justify the price point. The chicken karage lacked flavor, and the sushi rolls were mediocre at best. However, the attentive service elevated the dining experience. If you're in the area and looking for great service, Koi Sushi delivers, but for exceptional food, you may want to explore other options nearby.

I found this place on the travel channel. If you’re into authentic Chinese food - definitely give this place a try. Their portions are decent. You can eat family style depending on how you order. My favorite were the pan fried pork buns and the pork dumplings. The rest of the group had the mouth watering chicken, cold appetizer - if you like cold chicken, go for it. (Otherwise you may not like it.) They also got the braised pork - had a lot of textures in it but the flavor was there. The Ma Po tofu was deliciously made and serving size was a good portion. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice - pretty good, fresh, not salty! 😋 Overall, the service was friendly and if we needed something after the food was served we had to flag down our waiter. Last but not least , we ordered the lucky cup sake, also good! 😊

The spicy beef dish is really big. Unless you don’t mind taking things home, it may be wise to only order it if you have a party of 3 or more. Great vibes. Solid pre-theatre option in midtown.
Flora Tsui - 3 weeks ago

Simply OMG. The food here is nicely prepared, the presentation and the taste! 10/10. Had a few things on the menu and was blown away but the diversity of flavors. The service was very welcoming and professional and I had a great time! You know the food is good when everyone at the table is quiet.

Much larger restaurant than I thought with a few different seating options. They only seat full parties, you can wait at the bar. All of their signature cocktails are $15 and were pretty good. Very kind service! Definitely get dishes to share. We tried the potstickers, sautéed string beans, and dan dan noodles. The potstickers were good but didn’t impress me. The string beans were delish, and the noodles were yum as well with the proper sauce & flavoring ratio. Yay! Highly recommend a booking in advance.

Authentic Chinese in Midtown! Every dish was all packed with flavor!! Went there with a large group and had a native Chinese speaker who ordered everything for the table, which was great because the menu was huge. Lots of vegetarian and vegan dishes, and every one was full of flavor and wonderfully aromatic spices. From what my friends said the meat dishes were also great. I highly recommend the green beans, the spinach with mushrooms, and the Japanese squash. We also had a fantastic sweet rice with red bean paste dessert that was satisfying and not too sweet at all. Perfect place for a big group or just a solo meal.

Very very tasty. Great level of spice, flavor and combined with fresh ingredients. I was able to get in and out in 40 minutes which is great for a lunch spot. It does get busy so I'd recommend getting their early

I was surprised of bright flavour of Szechuan Gourmet Special Fried Rice because it wasn’t cooked traditionally. It had dried baby fish and baby shrimp. Also, I liked slightly spicy Jellyfish salad. It was crunchy and without seafood flavor.
Violette Ospol - 2 months ago

We really enjoyed this Chinese restaurant. We were 7 and they accommodated us without any problems. Food was delicious. Service very good as well. A very complete menu, with lots of different plates to choose from. If you are not a fan of spicy food, just make sure you order mild, since Szechuan food is known for its spiciness.
Peter Hey (RV PLANET) - 6 months ago

Szechuan Gourmet is definitely one of the best Szechuan restaurants in Manhattan.It’s recommended by Bib Gourmand for years and we finally gave it a visit last weekend. We had their Mapo Tofu, Braised Fish Fillet w Roasted Chili, Sautéed String Beans and Braised Beef Flank Pot. Their portion was decent with a little high price but the taste was outstandingly delicious. The Mapo Tofu was one of my favorites. It was extremely soft and flavorful with mild spicy. Their Braised Fish Fillet w/ Roasted Chili was surprisingly tasty and flavorful. The texture of the fish was delicate with appetizing sauce.

Came here after craving Chinese food. Portions were huge, and because we spoke mandarin and Cantonese, the servers were helpful and quite friendly. If you're craving Chinese food, this place would definitely hit the spot.

Oh, man. Loved the food. We just walked in there on Sunday evening, and immediately got the seats. The food may take 15-20 to arrive at the table but the food was delicious. Enjoyed the evening with family and great food. I definitely recommend it.

The food was pretty good for a generic fast food restaurant. It also came out in a very timely manner. Our server Azariam was absolutely delightful. Very warm and attentive. The only thing is the carpet smelt so horrible. As soon as we sat down the scent was so strong. We had to endure A musty constantly wet from spills that uncleaned and let to dry scent for the duration of our time.

We wanted to try this chain in New York of all places. It’s was good as you’d expected for a chaine resto. Service was good. Our plates were not that warm- May have been forgotten somewhere. Hey, did I say we are in Manhattan 😊.

I used to eat here almost 10 years ago when I was a student. Very happy to see that they still live up to expectations. The lobster tail is amazing. Their biscuits are still extremely delicious. I heard that there’s a risk of Red Lobster going bankrupt due to people abusing their unlimited shrimp options. Y’all gotta stop abusing this baby before it goes insolvent:)! We gotta keep it alive!

"The Kathi Roll Company in New York offers unbeatable value for money with their delicious rolls. Their Anda Chicken roll is a must-try, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked ingredients. The prices are incredibly affordable, making it an ideal spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommended for a tasty and budget-friendly dining experience!"

Good food for the price. Terrible service on weekends when not busy, great service on weekdays when busy. I eat regularly here, as the food is delicious and right value for Manhattan. The guy who work here in weekend has a lot of attitude. The ladies who work during the weekdays are amazing and great at their job.

Great cheap & quick to-go indian food! I had steak tikka roll in paratha. The flat bread was crunchy, filled with seasoned beef cubes & fresh red onions. Just the perfect level of spicy! There were vegan & vegetarian menus as well. Almost all rolls were priced around $4-$8. I came at lunch time, was quite a queue, and had to wait around 10mins to get my order. Staff counters were nice. Would come back to try other menus.
Amelia Anggraini B - 3 months ago

Kathi rolls was really good, but momos wasn't fresh and very hard to chew. Sitting wasn't comfortable.tables were attached, so if you want to go another taber so you've jumped from the table or everyone has to leave the table, so can other customers sit on the other side of table.Not a clean place at all

Very important. If you are getting the steak frittes make sure medium rare. I got medium well 👎. If not you will be eating a spare tire. The french onion soup was ehhhhh mediocre!! The moules are delicious and the beer selection is cool if u like belgian. I got the triple ipa duvel and was ok and pricy. Like the bar atmosphere and probably great to catch a soccer game.
Oscar Filipe - 2 weeks ago

A cosy place with Belgian beers, some of which I haven't had since I was last in Belgium. I'd say this was a treat more than somewhere I would frequently drink since (understandably) the prices are on the higher side for the fact there are some more unusual/imported beers. Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food.
Rich Adams - 3 weeks ago

On the south side of times square there is no lack of food and drink choices. Most are over priced and mediocre. There is one place I recommend to anyone who loves great food and great beer. The BXL Cafe. So I haven’t been here since 2020 as I haven’t had occasion to be in the area. I’m happy to report that BXL is here and as good as ever! I had a terrific spicy lamb sausage sandwich with frites. Two wonderful Belgian beers. The patrons and the server are great and I am going to look for an excuse to come back here. Highly recommend!!
Steve Battiste - 3 months ago

The perfect cozy spot before Broadway shows. The service is outstanding. They have a great selection of Belgian beers on draught. Don't pass on the moules frites or the BXL waffles!

Belgian beer and bites in the theater district. Friendly staff and great environment, not far from Times Square but far enough away from the craziness. Perfect place for a pre-theater dinner.

I like diners a lot. I'm happy to have a city full of them. Red Flame is average in a good way; you want a regular diner, no frills, not expensive with good diner food, go here. Oh, Their pastrami sandwich is pretty good. It's $12, small, but if I'm starving I get two (or the cornbeef) and double them up . Oink 🐷. Service is always friendly and staff seems jovial.

Reasonably priced food with great customer service. We had breakfast here twice, and they were rubbing like a well-oiled machine. Very small wait to get the food and it was hot. We would eat here again.
Nicole P - 2 months ago

A friend recommended The Red Flame for breakfast and we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is a short walk from Times Square and we were seated at 830am on a Friday in under 5 minutes. The menu had all the diner standards and our food was exactly as ordered. Serving sizes were generous and the service was quick and efficient. The prices were a little higher than diners further from Times Square but not bad.
