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!

Lovely place for breakfast in Madison Avenue! Their coffee is super delicious and always freshly brewed! I love the hazelnut coffee ☕️ as it always has amazing after taste. The place is great for families with children as there’re many options for different breakfast preferences! There is a station for freshly made sandwiches where you can get egg sandwiches A station for prepared hot food, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal and a juicing bar. If you are there don’t miss trying their peanut butter wraps!

This place is like a canteen. Nice, spacious, clean and neat and of course you need the vaccine card to stay in. They have many different kinds of food that you can choose Western and Asian as well. And I love the Smoothies Corner my favorites are Cucumber Protein (Juice) and Funky Monkey (Smothie). Their dumplings and shiumai are must try!

Food is weighed by the pound. Soup and salad are best light food choices on the weekend. However during weekdays peek hours the buffet setup is fully stocked. There's upstairs seating and its brightly lit with WiFi and one table section for a large group of family. This spot is good for tourists exploring the city.

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.

Places an Order for cheeseburger deluxe with union rings and coleslaw $24 Received a grilled cheese $6 🤮😁. Call back the next day to see if they would make things right. The lady that answered the phone made me jump through hoops for over 20 minutes with no resolution. I wouldn't recommend. Unless you like an overpriced grilled cheese 🤯.

Half the food is good, but the other is okay. They over price and overcharge like crazy. My concern is with the checkout. As the last time I was here I placed my lunch on the scale to weigh, and the price/weight was different than what she charged me. By $5. And I know that my lunch did not weigh a whole pound. When I tried to ask her bought it, she acted like she couldn’t understand me. I explained again and she then hit a button and it completely changed. I am fairly certain that their prices and overcharging is intentional. The people at the checkout counter are also rude. They could be nicer. Based off the other reviews, seems like I’m not the only one who notices the prices and potential overcharges.

This is one of those food hall kinds of places with lots of variety inside, built to deliver fast food for the people working in the area. They have pre-made, prepackaged, and also assembly food. The prepackaged food has some options that are more perishable than others. For example, the mochi I got was already moldy when I opened it. Pre-made hot food has a good selection, same as cold food. You can find steak, chicken, noodles, and lots of mixes. However, if you come at an off time, the food will have been sitting there and getting overcooked on the hot plate. Assembly food includes stations at the back of the store has options like udon noodle soup, fried rice, and the like. You pick proteins and vegetables to go with a generic base. It's inoffensive, ultimately just fills you up, but is nothing super amazing. Overall, this is a lunch staple spot for some people, but I would prefer to spend my lunch hour somewhere else.

I’m writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the service I’ve repeatedly received at this location. This has been by far the worst experience I’ve had anywhere, and it’s become a pattern every time I visit. The staff at the sandwich station especially the man in the black shirt consistently treat me with disrespect. He never greets or acknowledges me, and often seems to deliberately ignore me while helping others. The attitude from the entire team is unwelcoming I’ve had employees roll their eyes, delay my order, overcharge me, and prepare my food messily and without care. It’s clear I’m not being treated fairly, and at this point, it feels personal. I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable or disrespected just trying to order food. It’s unacceptable that this kind of behavior continues, and I honestly don’t understand how it’s being allowed. I hope this issue is addressed seriously. No customer should have to feel targeted or mistreated when spending their money.

My son was having lunch at essence and called me and asked me if I wanted something he said there was chicken teriyaki I said sure just bring me a little bit, I could not believe how salty how much salt this has I was in imagining that it was just chunks with light sauce and broccoli this is dretched in a heavy heavy salty sauce pretty grossed out especially when he told me that for that portion was more than $12 I did call up because I was so disgusted that they would sell something like this that the chef would not he, must be addictive to salt someone there. it's disgusting that they sell this and that no one tasted it before putting it out to the customer who are paying a lot of money . Please do not buy the chicken teriyaki it's horrible unless they change the recipe I did call myself and complained I spoke to a woman she apologized but it doesn't do nothing I'm not getting my $12 back or my son. But unless you like salt don't order the don't get the chicken teriyaki at the buffet.
