NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 5th Avenue 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!

The flavors here dance on your tongue with each taste. The interior feels carefully planned. The staff member showed verbal engagement with various patrons. You get good value for what you pay. I found a restaurant worth returning to!
Judith Vasquez - 2 weeks ago

Wow wow and wow! I'm still trying to figure out how they made it taste so good. Their portions are substantial and their employees attentive. The experience at Sophie's Cuban Cuisine - Midtown West was excellent. Employees are assisting and pleasant. The employees were accommodating and the cuisine was incredible! I plan to visit again.

I have been going to Sophie’s for years and the food never disappoints!! I got the shredded beef stew this time and it was just as good as always, especially with the green sauce, which is a little bit spicy (not too hot though). I will definitely come again.
Robert Reynolds - a year ago

Went here with my coworkers to get lunch. This is the second location I've been to and the line is a bit long during lunchtime but goes by quickly. Their green sauce is really good and def recommend getting a platter. The shredded beef was tender and was flavorful. The empanada esp the beef one hits every single 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 !

It has become a little tradition for me — every time I’m in the USA, I have to visit Morton’s for their amazing shrimp! The food never disappoints — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and always fresh. The steak and sides were also excellent, but the shrimp is always my personal favorite. The service is top-notch, as always. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made me feel genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is classic and elegant, yet still relaxed — perfect for both a nice dinner or a special occasion. Morton’s truly delivers consistent quality and an unforgettable dining experience every single time. Highly recommend it if you love great food, excellent service, and that timeless steakhouse charm.

This restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience! The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, with a great mix of modern design and warmth. The menu offers a variety of premium steaks, seafood, and creative appetizers — everything beautifully presented and delicious. The quality and flavor are exceptional. Special thanks to Kai, the manager, who is absolutely fantastic — attentive, professional, and genuinely cares about every guest’s experience. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic place! Great for anniversaries. The fillet mignon was tender. The mashed potatoes were excellent (get them loaded!!). I would skip the creamed spinach, it’s just average. The free bead is amazing but the bottom is hard and it makes it difficult to cut apart. Byron was absolutely amazing. He was detailed and thorough and made our night spectacular.

I eat here frequently. The service is top tier. The food is exquisite. I try to frequent atleast once a month since I work in the Financial District and it's on my way home. The ambiance is elegant and classy. There is literally nothing negative, I could possibly say about this establishment. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I highly recommend for any occasion of importance or if you want to treat yourself. Oh and don't forget The Onion Loaf, *chef's kiss*. 10/10

Went for our anniversary and they couldn't have made us more welcome. Decorated our table and all the staff made a real fuss of us. Food was excellent with plenty of choices. Watch out for the side dishes as they are pretty large so might only need one between two people.

I usually work remotely at Essen — a peaceful place where I can spend the whole day working. The musical atmosphere is inspiring, the tables are comfortable, and there’s a great variety of food options. I’d only wish for a stronger Wi-Fi connection to call it perfect for me.

I bought a cake, but when I got home, I realized it was already moldy. The weather’s been really hot lately, so please be more careful with freshness. The receptionist helped me return it, but overall it was still a pretty disappointing experience.

Their breakfast buffet is top-notch, and the wait is quick! This place runs like a well-oiled machine, thanks to the super-efficient staff. You can be in and out in under five minutes—perfect for busy mornings! Lunch can get a bit hectic with the crowds, but the staff’s impressive speed keeps your wait time to pay under five minutes. It’s a lively atmosphere, and you’ll be ready to tackle your day in no time! One suggestion: it would be even better if they offered sriracha sauce to spice things up! However, a minor criticism is the pricing; for instance, a small box of sushi costs $7.50 but has jumped to $9. A little adjustment there would make the experience even better!

Needed a break from walking and a snack while visiting NYC. Large selection on the buffet, tea, coffee,etc. Exceptional cleanliness in bathroom and seating area. Ask for code for bathroom upstairs at register. They were incredibly pleasant.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great ambience and service, and is open till 11pm which is one of the main reasons I went here. Homemade bread with hummus and olives was served as a complimentary starter, and a plate of possible homemade cookies served as a dessert/ goodbye compliments. Ordered the Tiri Psito and Wild Mushroom Kritharoto (vegetarian dishes). Mushroom Kritharoto was very flavorful with a strong taste of enoki mushrooms, the sauce didn’t feel too rich and greasy.

I enjoyed the charcoal grilled calamari appetizer with red pepper and hummus (pictured), as well as the baklava dessert with honey (pictured) served on the side. I disliked the "east and west coast oysters," which I thought were virtually tasteless, a 100% disappointment. On another visit there I tried their meze (pikilia) trio. The three included (1) yogurt/cucumber combination, (2) an eggplant meze, (3) a garlic and almond combination meze. I enjoyed all three (pictured below). On another visit there I had their sardine appetizer which I enjoyed. I had a potato fennel soup there one time that was excellent.
