Decent food, but don't get the salmon here.The portion sizes for other proteins is much larger, but this is the smallest portion size for salmon out of all the fast casual restaurants I've visited in Midtown. You get three bites.Edit: raising my ratings because I recently returned for dinner and Shay was incredibly helpful. Portions were more reasonable too. - Anthony Teng
