Tabletime: Reviews & Ratings
Unlimited amount of great food. In the cut of 42nd street. Nice area and calm. Nice staff as well.
I've been going here for 6 years and the food is always great! Highly recommend this place for a great variety of delicious food, especially the Jimmy T sandwich and the salad bar.
Great spot for breakfast. Hot food service is quick. Lots grab to go items as well. Fully stocked convenience store. Tables and seats on the second floor. Friendly staff.
Soondubu FTW. Choose your veggies to add in. Comes with a whole block of soft tofu, an egg, and rice on the side. I went for the seafood version, but chicken, beef, pork available, too. The guys behind the counter were pretty fast, but it was also a late lunch. Perfect when under the weather. Takeout to nearby Bryant Park on a good day. Shoulda saved it for 2 meals!
Loved this place, the sandwich was so good. Lots of options on the menu, definitely going back. Perfect to grab lunch & head over to Bryant park for a picnic date or friends. They also have seating on the second floor so you can stay & dine there. The choice is yours.
Huge variety and competitive prices for the lunch crowd, superior to the Whole Foods self-serve section, supplementing large salad and hot food sections with sandwiches and other ready-made options. Largely, Tabletime serves what you'd consider to be "great" college dining hall food.
Every time I go to the city, this is my number one spot for a quick and delicious meal. Everyone here is so welcoming and the service here is very quick and efficient every single time. The food here is so good too, I ordered their soondubu and I would definitely order it again.
Tabletime was one of those lucky finds when I'm hungry for a fresh prepared meal. As soon as I saw the sign that they have a buffet I went inside. This place is fantastic! Everyone I spoke with was so gracious. I saw the buffet and knew I wanted to stay. I asked if I could use the restroom first and the nice employee let me in. The restroom is clean too! I realized if I purchased the buffet I needed a place to sit to eat. I was told there's seating up the stairs above the buffet. I was definitely a happy camper. The buffet is $11.99 a pound. I can't believe how much food I got for only $6.50. I love the fact that they have breakfast items. There were so many choices I took a little of everything. Who else eats fish and pancakes! As I was leaving I saw all the other merchandise they sell. They make custom salads and serve French Toast, sandwiches and so much more. The pastries are individually wrapped and on display. The seating area was spacious and very clean. When I was finishing my lunch people were starting to come in. I came at the perfect time because it wasn't busy and I ate in a quiet atmosphere. This place is definitely FIVE STARS and when I'm in the neighborhood and I'm hungry, I'll be back!
