jenny and i have been here a few times but i waited to write a post on it until i (1) had an aesthetically organized takeaway box and (2) remembered to take a photo before scarfing it all down. so here you go. quality buffet in midtown, but it's pricey ($10/lb). the noodle soups look intriguing but we've never managed to stray from the buffet bar. there's usually a line out front but it moves quickly.

now that we've been a few times, jenny and i have identified our favorites: hers is the mashed potatoes, mine are the sesame-tahini asian noodles. suprisingly, the tofu reminds me of the dried tofu my mom used to buy from seattle's chinatown - very good. the pasta special can be hit (ravioli) or miss (gnocchi). the baked goods all look delicious. so far we've tried the rugelach and blueberry-apricot coffee cake. both were tasty but rather filling. good for a late afternoon snack or evening meal replacement.
