366634 Thu Feb 01 13:03:00 -0800 2007 25 18 Manhattan 0 2250398 I am working midtown, and I am curious to hear from other office slaves about their favorite places to eat. I like using seamless, but I am open to using the telephone to order food occasionally too! I know that some of the restaurants have been addressed on an old thread located here, http://www.chowhound.com/topics/222097 , but I am wondering if there any other new gems on the line up that I should try. I know that Savannah Steak and Wu Kong are off the list now. I get tired of having mediocre food from seamless! So, here is the challenge: What are your favorites seamless restaurants? I need suggestions and alternatives for the ones below! And folks, even if you agree with other posters, please try to keep repetition to a minimum, and list your second and third favorites! Feel free to throw in restaurants that don't use seamless too, if you think they are gems and they deliver! My favorites so far: Hatsuhana (Japanese) [Too expensive for regular ordering though] The Pump (Breakfast) [Cheap and fast, but sorta plain] Wu Liang Ye (Chinese) [Good prices, shrimp are huge, cheap lunch specials] Red Lantern (Thai) [Great Curry] Wild Edibles Peking Duck House Tex-Ess Thu Feb 01 13:03:00 -0800 2007 70071 ubuwalker31 1 2250611 Twin onion roll sandwich from Junior's Amish market east- The best Create your own salad bar in NYC. Ali baba- pretty good Turkish restaurant Blake and Todd - Really good deli sandwich. Their bread(baguette) is owesome and so is their entree Jackson Hole - Hamburger Teleon cafe- good quality deli, etc Ess-a-bagel- bagel sandwich with seafood salad and I order a half dozen for home I like Hale and Hearthy soup and sandwich but they are always late so I don't usually order from them. Thu Feb 01 13:52:02 -0800 2007 2250398 14734 Monica 1 2251177 Josie's tuna burger, salads, unfried rice and apple pie are all good Mangia for the most ridiculously quick non-chinese delivery Spoons has the usual deli picks, as well as a large korean food section. Love how you can randomly add a fried egg to any entree and even if the food is inconsistent, I know I can fall back on lemon bundt cake =) Thu Feb 01 16:10:07 -0800 2007 2250398 17412 xigua 1 2251558 Josie's Grand Sichuan Organic Harvest I tend to order a lot of Hatsuhana personally. It is a sad state of affairs on SW. Thu Feb 01 18:21:08 -0800 2007 2250398 53427 kayonyc 1 2315814 akdeniz - awesome hummus : ) Wed Feb 21 16:29:17 -0800 2007 2250398 49707 jeannious 2 3053375 I'll second Akdeniz. It has a pretty good hunkar begendi (I think they call it either Sultan's Delight or just smoked eggplant puree on the menu), though it a tad too floury, and decent meatballs. Sat Oct 20 22:23:15 -0700 2007 2315814 64215 cimui 1 2317726 I've said it before and I'll say it again...Bread and Olive on 45th between 5th and 6th. Deeeelicious Lebanese food! Thu Feb 22 08:35:03 -0800 2007 2250398 12717 Jill 1 2318041 I order hatsuhana a lot but they take forever. Tossed is ok. I saw Just Salad's is now on so I'll probably order that although its better when you watch them make it. Not a lot of good places around here deliver I guess. Thu Feb 22 09:28:27 -0800 2007 2250398 11133 belle 1 2322368 Berger's Deli for matzo ball soup and pastrami/corned beef combo sandwich on rye. Onion rings are also amazing from there Fri Feb 23 10:14:54 -0800 2007 2250398 40799 LHT 1 2776420 utsav has *great* indian food. but way too expensive for ordering regularly... Mon Jul 23 16:42:53 -0700 2007 2322386 113891 aku 1 2322896 oh, i also get the souper soup from sarges...they have great kreplach. and the guacamole hot dogs from f&b are good. Fri Feb 23 12:19:18 -0800 2007 2250398 14393 sam1 1 2377977 My new favorite and new addition to the SeamlessWeb is a Thai restaurant called 'Luscious Thai' on 1th Ave. Their lunch special is the best in the midtown. Mon Mar 12 13:13:19 -0700 2007 2250398 14734 Monica 1 2379254 Wow - what a cool thread! (Didn't know Seamless was so widespread.) Honestly, haven' t had much on Seamless that I liked...other than good 'ole Go Sushi. The bad list is longer, including Zen Palate, Pump, and Zenith. Korea Palace was okay...but not amazing.... Mon Mar 12 18:37:24 -0700 2007 2250398 60583 gaijingirl 1 2379427 I've had good luck with Taksim--the ground lamb wrap is tasty and the Greek salad is good too. I've ordered sushi from Go Sushi and Haru and neither has been good. I guess it's just not that fresh at night (we're talking after 8:00 pm). Tonight I got the bison cheesesteak from Energy Kitchen and it was alright (they include packets of hot sauce, which were what made it alright). Also Burger Heaven, which is always heavy (even the salads, somehow) but solid. Mon Mar 12 19:41:23 -0700 2007 2250398 40108 jakew8 1 2381547 i love hatsuhana and wild edibles as well but both can be $$, wild greens for salads and good wraps, fresh basils for italian. Tue Mar 13 12:22:19 -0700 2007 2250398 79312 hotsaucer 1 2385384 I was sad to see Korea Palace is no longer on my seamlessweb list...they had decent food. I had a disastrous experience with Hakata Grill sending me bad fish...some of the pieces were ok, but others smelt like they were decaying. Didn't realize it until too late, vomit-o-rama. Maru Maru has mediocre sushi. Sometimes I get lucky with Monster. Wondee Siam II is decent too. Berger's on the Go has good salad. Marrakesh has great shishkabobs. I enjoyed Zethith Vegetarian too. Organic Harvest screwed me over with a delivery once, so I don't order from there. Keep this thread alive! Wed Mar 14 12:38:29 -0700 2007 2250398 70071 ubuwalker31 1 2699332 I'm new to Seamlessweb and was told my company needs an account for me to order, does anyone know if i can order as an individual? and is there a fee I pay? Wed Jun 27 09:40:03 -0700 2007 2250398 108344 tomdur 2 2699444 our company caters our lunches...they set an allowance per day and each user orders on their account individually. i really dig tossed's greek salad with grilled chicken available on seamless. Wed Jun 27 10:04:36 -0700 2007 2699332 14393 sam1 3 2699503 Tony Sushi, best bento box deal for dinner. You get so much food for about $15-16 with tip. Wed Jun 27 10:23:14 -0700 2007 2699444 72390 clashfan 2 2699543 yeah, you can order as an individual and pay with your credit card, and have it delivered to your office. I do that nights when I work late and then just have to submit the receipt for reimbursement at my new office - my old office had an account setup so you could skip that step. My favorites in midtown so far have been Wondee Siam, Better Burger, Curry & Curry, Ocha, Grand Sichuan, Sandwich Planet, Havana Central (for the build your own paella - not very authentic but satisfying) and Starwich. I have had really bad experiences with Red Lantern Thai and Haru Sushi. Wed Jun 27 10:32:33 -0700 2007 2699332 13657 VeggieBooty 2 2777192 There is no fee for the individual service. Mon Jul 23 20:58:05 -0700 2007 2699332 19768 BaconBits 1 3053077 Okay, I'm extremely late to this discussion - but to add my two cents ... Hands down, my favorite Seamless Web order is Sushi Time. The veggie rolls are utterly SUPERB! (Try the spicy, crunchy shitake rolls, and you'd never know it's not tuna...) YUM. PS: have tried Go Sushi, which just can't compare....And I agree with a few of the previous posters that Zen Palate is, well, blech, bland and made me somewhat queasy. And that's coming from a vegan who enjoys natto...
