Fay Da Bakery Elevates the Lunch Box Buffet
One of my favorite (in theory) lunch places, that I don’t get to nearly enough, is the Lunch Box Buffet on 34th St. btw. 7+8th. It’s been mentioned a few times in the comments, and I just never have gotten around to writing about it. A fairly simple concept, it combines two of my favorite things- value and cheap chinese food. 5 items for $5. How does it get any better than that? Well, I’ll tell you how: they’ve added a Fay Da Bakery to the front of the location.
Lunch Box Buffet isn’t necessarily the best cheap chinese food in the area, but it has got the largest selection, the best pricing concept (especially for variety), and it’s much less intimidating than the far more adventurous Ying Du (on 38th btw. 7+8th.) All the food is labeled, and the’ve got plenty of non-chinese items, like the very popular fried chicken. Now with the addition of Fay Da it becomes much easier to ignore the cheapness of the Chinese food… you can always follow it up with a delicious custard bun. Read more »
