not what it used to be

by devaleena

I have good memories of the bibim bop from this take out lunch spot but my recent visit was a disappointment. I got a sandwich with stale hard bread and was charged almost $9.00. Not at all worth it. They also seem to have very fast turnaround with the food which makes me think that they don't make anything as fresh as they used.

  • Pros: Varied choices
  • Cons: Expensive, Stale bread

High-quality, fresh, innovative food

by as384

I discovered Spoons last year as a dinner take-out option and I am so glad I did! The service is always prompt and the food is excellent. Although there is no seating space, this is the type of food you would want to be able to enjoy at home anyway. Really high-quality gourmet stuff, with some asian and carribean flair. I highly recommend the Pop's Chicken but everything is good. Order before everyone else discovers it!

A Solid Lunch Option in Midtown east

by kflam

I love the mac 'n cheese and other rice-based bowls. A simple menu with a nice asian staff running the place. Limited choices though.

Not very expensive. Take out only - nowhere to sit - save for a few UNCOMFORTABLE stools.

Bad points? No real breakfast menu to speak of, and when I ordered an espresso-based drink they had no vanilla syrup and the dusty old bottle of almond syrup they did have looked ancient. I skipped it.

  • Pros: Cheap, Tasty Mac 'n Cheese, Nice Gals at counter
  • Cons: Cramped, Limited Menu, No seating
