"- **Breakfast Sandwiches**: They’re fantastic! They let me customize it however I want, so I can enjoy my favorite bacon, egg, and hash brown hoagie. - **Penne Vodka**: Delicious! The sauce is really tasty. - **Mashed Potatoes**: Always creamy and satisfying. - **Onion Rings**: These were just okay. I wouldn’t order them again because there was too much onion; it felt like I got three rings in one. The breading was decent, but not special. - **Teriyaki Chicken**: Very good! The sauce is nice and the chicken is quality. - **Meatloaf**: Tasty, but not my favorite dish. - **Plantains**: Absolutely delicious! I really love these. Overall, Essen is a great spot that I highly recommend!"

The prices are too high. It seems like they've increased them for no good reason.

They have SPIDERS in their food and there’s no way to get into contact with a manager. Very unprofessional and unforgiving View menu

Big selection but really expensive even with NYC Soho standars. A small salad and a La Croix was $17. Everything is wrapped in plastic.

Go here if you like spiders in your food! Have also previously found hair and bits of steel wool in food. Really should have stopped going a long time ago but have to draw a hard line at LIVING SPIDER. Cashier tried to very discreetly give my cash back but when I tried to get in touch with a manager they gave me the run around for two days and said “he’s not here we don’t know when he will be here”.

This is an ideal spot for anyone, like me, who aims to stick to a healthy diet. They offer a wide variety of express dishes prepared in a homestyle manner, including both meat and fish options! There’s a generous selection of cooked and raw vegetables, along with plenty of other choices for any time of day. I’m thrilled to have discovered this place, and fortunately, there are many locations throughout New York!

The first thing you will notice about this place is that it is very spacious and it is also extremely clean. Once you get past that, it is really just a generic Korean run deli. They offer the usual stuff: hot and cold sandwiches, udon, sushi, pasta, salad bar and a by the pound buffet. I tried most of things from the buffet and it was average quality. A lot of the meat was overly salty or too dry or too hard. It is actually a smaller selection than most places because they are trying to convey a health-conscious image. So, there are no french fries, fried fish sticks, etc.
