This place is Amazing, but expensive! If you’re in Manhattan and Indecisive this is the spot. The food here is fresh, and hot. They have everything from sushi, soup, sandwiches, snacks,macaroons, salad, fresh fruits, yogurt, granola, and a wide variety of juices and many more to pick from. If you feel like dining in, theirs a sitting area upstairs. however, be aware they WEIGH YOUR FOOD then add whatever you purchased plus tax. So don’t think this place is a ALL U CAN EAT and u only pay for an entry or a plate size 😭. You will end up spending $50 in there wondering if it’s worth that. PLEASE KNOW THIS IS MANHATTAN, what u could get at a Chinese spot in Brooklyn for $20 you could get here for $35-$40.

Very cute! Plenty of tables upstairs and soft jazz music to relax too. Salads from the cold bar were very filling and employees were polite and helpful.

Essen is a large establishment with a huge variety of choices. Well kept and constantly a flow of traffic in and out. Mostly self self serve but staff is eager to answer your questions.

Great place with lots of varierity of food. It's unfortunate that some options were not available the day i went. It is also a bit expensive for what it is. It's worth it, but still, a bit too expensive.

The food is fresh and delicious. There are so many options and dishes to choose from. They have already made hot food, but you can also order smoothies and a variety of Asian dishes. There is a good amount of seating upstairs and is not too cramped.

I've been to the Essen in Madison Avenue and realized the food is same quality and same variety. I'm really impressed with their excellence service and standards. This is indubitably my got-to for lunch. My friend that I brought also loved the food. This place is pretty close to the road and can be easily noticed from vehicle in normal traffic. There's also wheelchair accessible entrance for the differently able.

Large variety of very good food at this “slow fast food” location on the corner of 8th Ave and 36th Street. The place offers select your own items and pay by the weight as well as panini sandwiches, burgers, salads and wood oven sandwiches. The staff is always courteous and always where gloves for cleanliness. I order a pizza burger (burger with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce) deluxe with a bottled coke for a cost of $11.70 (not a bad price for such a large portion in NYC). The burger is very juicy and the steak fries are good too! I always see repeat customers at this location and would recommend others to try.
