“ This place was weird for me at the beginning because it's like a buffet where you can choose any kind of food, except that here you pay for the amount in pounds you eat. I paid 27 usd, it was enough because I was starving but a kind of expensive. It worth it anyway. ”

“ Great spot for high quality, healthy food. Kale salad with almonds is delish and I love the variety of protein option (fish, meat, tofu). ”
“ Are you kidding me!? This is the perfect place to buy food that you'll never cook at home. That's the best kind of food to buy! It's home cooked natural food that you can buy many pounds worth! Go here or you'll overpay for corporate filler food somewhere else. ”
“ I like this place because I can consistently get the grilled chicken with spinach salad for my nutrition plan without having to worry about packing a lunch for work and extra items to worry about. Good replacement for anyone leaning out on a chicken and broccoli diet. It’s also nice because I can weigh out the exact amount of chicken for my nutrition plan as well. It’s a little expensive, but what isn’t in Manhattan? ”
