Food was good and service nice. When we went to pay, we handed over the coupon. Then they came back and said it wasn't valid for Lunch Specials. The coupon didn't state this nor did the menu. We ended up paying the dinner prices for all the items instead.</p> <p>So if you're looking to use your Inbundles coupon for Cha Pas during lunch, be warned that it doesn't work for the Lunch Specials. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/lafreida-korean-bulgogi-burger-at-bon-chon#post-23273 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:47:26 -0500 Harry 23273@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I was at Bon Chon today on 2nd Ave. They had something on the menu called "LaFreida Korean Bulgogi Burger + Frites." It was a lunch special for $9.</p> <p>I know ML gets delirious with La Freida Beef news, so I figured I'd try it. The burger was OK. I'm not convinced it was better than Social Eatz burger, but whatever.</p> <p>The real story (to me) is that the fries were terrific. They are the same Truffle Oil fries they sell for $7.</p> <p>The person I went with ordered the small order of wings. There are supposed to be 10 wings. They plate came out with only 7 wings. We complained and they brought the missing wings.</p> <p>The burger came out before the burger by around 5 minutes which I thought was odd. Why would a burger with fries be served faster than chicken at a chicken place?<br /> Is it really La Freida beef? </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/el-rey-del-sabor-60th#post-23258 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:09:53 -0500 joer 23258@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Haven't been here in a while - went today for huaraches.

It looked ready to open so I walked in. The place has a modern look with a cooler on the left side that reminds me of Cafe Zaiya, but MUCH nicer. The coolers weren't stocked. There was a woman inside dressed for work. I asked her when they were opening and she said maybe this week. She gave me a menu that looked like a brochure. There are vivid pictures of the food with prices.</p> <p>This place is nowhere near ML price range. Lunch specials start at $14.95. They have "Tuna Tartare with Caviar" for $40.</p> <p>The only way to keep this in ML price range is to order the 6-Piece "Maki Rolls" and a couple of individual pieces.</p> <p>Sushi lovers and monied people should check this place out. The rest of us will have to be more careful. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/cafe-today-open-tomorrow#post-23223 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:19:43 -0500 joer 23223@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Cafe Today on 52nd btw 3rd and Lex opens tomorrow, Thurs.</p> <p>I have a menu.

Well worth it. HUGE portion. Definitely plenty to share with 2 people, or save some for another meal or 2. IT had multiple filets, shrimp and I think clams and/or conch. Very tasty. Is definitely in my rotation now! Highly reccommend. They might even give you a sample to try first, like they did me--not that they needed to since I was def. buying but it was much appreciated! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/yogi-korean-grill-bbq-taco-cart#post-23064 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:01:38 -0500 Harry 23064@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>A new cart popped up on the corner of 56th and Madison last Friday. I didn't get to try the food, but it looked interesting and had a line. They have Chicken, Beef, and Spicy Pork Tacos.
