The place is good but it is not a food court anymore. It is my first time in here, I saw that there should be at least 20 vendors in here but so far there is only 5 working. Only 5. One is coffee station. The others are taco guy, bowl guy, salad bar. Thats it. Also we bought sesame noodle as a side and tacos. All of them is tasteless:( unfortunately. So please try something else.

Great selection of food and excellent atmosphere. The noodles from Mr. Bings are particularly tasty and worth a try if in the area for lunch. There is ample seating and the restrooms are well maintained. Five stars!

Really really really liked this place. Hit it up early on a Thursday. It was already hopping. I usually go americano but their single estate brew beckoned. Good but did not blow me away. Dough was limited in choices. One local walked up and looked at the selection and said what happened? and walked away. The tunes were an interesting mix of funk and R&B. Definitely not lame. Id kill to have this place near my home. Drop in and check it out. You wont be disappointed.

Dont bother going to their Dough Doughnut branch. Best to go to the one in 5th Avenue. Been there 5 times at the end of 2019 and they didnt have the Hibiscus flavor. A little disappointing.

Nice food hall, so many good options. Everything we tried was good and we were thoroughly impressed. Not all the foods are ‘traditional’ and it is ‘trendy,’ however the flavours are there to make a trip to it. Waits weren’t long during dinner rush either. Go with a group, or order small and fill up on a bit of everything Urbanspace has to offer.

Cool place with lots of food options with quite a few fusion styles (Indo-Burmese, Japanese-Mexican). I had the duck bing from Mr Bing. It was a bit salty and overpriced but the dumplings were nice. Very fast service. Not many places to sit, more bar tables for people drop in for a quick bite to eat.

Good choice of food options infusing Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, cafe, etcPrices are mostly reasonable.Some seating but insufficient - most stalks don’t have seating so this is a real problem.The cleaning needs to be stepped up - floor was dirty and sticky.

Great options and great vibe. Several unique options that are off the beaten path of your typical food options.This food hall has a great feel to it and a buzz from the moment that you walk in. It is clean, organized and spacious. A nice spot for tourists and New Yorkers alike that provides options for everyone’s palate and allows you to sit together and enjoy a vibrant atmosphere.A spot well worth the visit to understand the brilliance of a unique food hall.

Wow! Californian coming to NY for the first time, and I have to say this place was awesome. Love the large variety of food you can get here, and all seem to come pretty quickly so lunchtime eats are good to go! Also like that some of the places serve alcohol for those evening visits. Highly recommend stopping in!

I love this place, Ive been really sad it was closed. Happy to see some of the stalls opening up again. I ran in for a smoothie I probably didnt need just because the Playa bowl was open.

Urban Space has a great selection of cuisines for lunch or dinner, coffee shop, and space to sit and eat inside. I had the lobster roll and hot crab dip and it was very good. In Urban Space, you can really find whatever type of food you’re craving. I recommend checking it out!

Review №18

Urbanspace Vanderbilt is my new favorite place to have a meal or a drink after getting off the Metro-North train and before heading out for the evening.An interesting selection of foods and plenty of seating... I particularly loved having a real Japanese ramen available for dinner. Im eager to try some other options.I used to eat in the food court downstairs at Grand Central but over time I found the food selections less than wonderful and the atmosphere in the lower food court is getting grimmer at commute time in the afternoon/evening.The urban space is full of mostly younger people and be forewarned: there is loud music playing and the place is not quiet! Still I thought it was great fun!

An excellent food court a couple blocks from Grand Central. There are tons of options here - Korean BBQ, Thai, sandwiches, sushi burritos, salads, pizza, coffee, juice bar, the list goes on. The lines can get long during lunch hours but they move quickly. Most everything is pretty reasonably priced for the area. Theres something for everyone here.

Lots of options to choose from, with a good variety. Choose Seamores for a seafood Mexican taste. Fish tacos were great... couldnt get them down quickly enough. Kale salad was fresh, crispy and flavorful. Ceviche was delicious. Would go back if there werent so many other options to try.

An excellent place to grab lunch during work hours. With so many food vendors, you get different options to try on different days. Lots of vegetarian options are available. The place is usually crowded even at night, although some of the items get exhausted by then.

What a fun place to eat! There is something for everyone; however, the seating is sparse. And because it is not handicapped friendly, only four stars.

Great spot for lunch and very busy and popular. Was hard to find a seat but didnt have to wait long to order food which was great.The cheeses Christ pizza from Robertos was really good but if youre ordering for kids have them hold the black pepper.I had the salmon sushi wrap which I was really hyped for but really wanst that great. One of the pieces of salmon was chewy and the sandwich was missing something.My kid had a cheeseburger which was awesome and had that great charred flavor.We also tried the bulgogi cheese steak egg roll which was also just ok.I still give this place 5 stars for the variety and possiblity of repeat visits. I definitely want to try the chicken sandwich next

Amazing variety of food and very chill and cheerful vibe. I had some korean pancake rolls and japamese takoyaki. Both were amazing. You get the food pretty fast. There are many seats too. The prices arent too crazy depending on which stall you go to ofcourse. Would recommend going here for a quick bite or even for a proper meal.

Other than having no place to sit it is a great dining experience! I recommend going early or late to avoid the crowd. They have a nice Tobys Estate Coffee at the back to finish up your meal with a coffee.

Review №37

Love this place. Was my first time here, and I am absolutely coming back to try more food! I went for the ramen this time, and it is simply THE best ramen ever. The walkway bit is a bit cramped when crowded, and its incredibly crowded during lunch hour. We got there at 11am and by 12:30 we had to excuse me, pardon me our way through and out the building. Also, the poutine at the deli place isnt bad (but not quite up to Canadian standards). And the fact the bar has soju is something Ill remember for next time :)

Review №47

Although there are a large variety of vendors here, there is very little seating. My wife, son, and I had to squeeze into the end of a table that had been monopolized by a group acting like they reserved a private room at a fancy restaurant. I imagine this location is great for workers in the area who can grab food to go. Robertas, Korilla, Red Hook Lobster, and Dough Donuts were some standouts.

This is a hidden gem in Manhattan for the hungry tourist. This is an undercover building housing dozens of street food stalls offering American, European and Asian food and drink. Theres also a communal area to sit and enjoy your meal.

Great little food court. The set up is super chic, variety of really good vendors with everything from Pizza to Mexican, seafood to ramen and a wine bar!Just like other places in New York, it is a bit pricey here, but is to be expected.This is also a pretty popular spot, so you cant be shy or picky in where you want to sit, and you could be standing.Also, be sure to check hours before you plan on being there. Tried for lunch one day and they were closed. No biggie!

There is something for everyone in this place. Very live and vibrant atmosphere especially on week nights. Three is a diversity of food and good toes to try from and they rotate so you never get bored. Boies and sandwiches are notable highlights as thru lend themselves well to locations like these.

For Midtown, this place is very reasonably priced. There is a variety of great types of food including Japanese, Italian, Indian, seafood and more. Plenty of vegetarian options. The atmosphere was very fun. We went on a Thursday night at 5:00 and Robertos had $10 pitchers of Naragansett ale. This was a worthwhile stop on my short visit from Massachusetts.

YES! So many choices and every counter service employee is pretty nice & attentive. Ive gotten the sushi burrito from Hai (very good) and the thai curry from Bangkok Bar (good for it being quick service). Its pretty packed around lunchtime on the weekdays but you definitely can get in & out on your lunch break with a few colleagues and all get something you want. This is where you go when youre not sure what you want!

Wonderful food hall just like the other urban spaces. A little less seating than some of the others but the selection is great and all of it is on one level.If you need a disabled entrance, or for a stroller, go to the side area in the pedestrian walkway and go in that way -- there are signs you can follow.

This place is so dope! It was my first time there and I was overwhelmed by there food options but in a good way🙌🏿🙂. I was amazed by their vegetarian options! I ate from Two Tablespoons and Hai Street Kitchen Co. That vegetarian sushi burrito was everything!!!! I highly recommend getting that! And its super cost effective! I will definitely be back for that mac and cheese spot and that donut spot! They smelled delicious!!!

I was visiting NYC for work and one night we went to Urbanspace Vanderbilt. It reminded me of the outside food truck parks we have in San Francisco but with the additional benefits of being inside, having more seating areas and clean bathrooms. The food and beverage selections were also quite varied, including good options for vegetarians and vegans. The atmosphere was incredibly inviting and overall the venue is a great venue for group outings.

I’ve never expected this place to have so many good options, as this was the first time I’ve stepped foot into this place. They offer so many things, like pizza, tacos, coffee and noodles. I want to try every single one of the tenants. So far, Partner’s Coffee was the best out the places, but I want to try the Donuts in the place! I will be making more returns to this place because this is FOOD HEAVEN!!

Perfect place to go with teenagers, Large food court but nicer and cooler with better options than your regular food court. $10 pitchers of beer at the pizza stand and so many fantastic options We had the pizza and we were not disappointed.

Places I love: Two Tablespoons, Ovenly, Mian Kitchen, Good Stock. Five stars can be found on all of their individual pages. Truly wonderful.If youre coming between 11 and 2, I would advise you not to plan to find a seat, and certainly not multiple seats. Its also so crowded as to be difficult to navigate/browse. You will be hard pressed to get lunch for under $12. The selection is great though!Just grab your food and go. Take it to Bryant Park. Take it to the steps of the library. Take it to your desk in winter. Go at 3 in the afternoon.

Love the food options s in this space. But stay away fro. Red hook lobster! $23 for a soggy small lobster roll, the blandest Cole slaw in a sample size cup, and the ti est ponies pickle. Horrible.
