Arbor Bistro

Good prices for lunch specials but food is so so. Spring rolls don’t have anything to them including flavor. Pad Thai is dry and lacking flavor — only has some spice. Basil chicken was ok.

Bomb delivery. They deliver fast, friendly and at the time you ask for. Sashimi is a good portion and come 2 in an order. The Gyoza and that vinegar is perfect. My friends get the Thai there and always enjoy it. Sushi is fresh and order there 2x a week!

Lunch specials. calling all lunch specials!!! If youre cheap like me and like to eat, come over here for lunch! for about $ 10 you get an entrée, a small app, a salad and a soup. The shrimp shumai is small, but so good! very chrunchy on the outside – it only comes with two pieces in the lunch entrée. The miso soup was kinda bland and the salad was alright. The vermicilli noodles with shrimp was good. Very generous portion, but only about 3 shrimps. Food comes out quick and service is very attentative.

Small dinning area, food is very good. Service is extremely fast had food in front of me within 10 minutes of ordering. I had the rock shrimp appetizer and it was very good and large portion. Assorted rolls for main course all fresh and prepared well. If you are downtown I recommend stopping in you will not be disappointed.

Liked the pad Thai, and chicken green curry! The pad Thai was spicy, but not too hot, just the right amount of flavor. Get the shrimp added, you will like it! The shrimp fried rice was good, but I would not order it again, just a little bland. The service was excellent via seamless and the guy who dropped off our food was extremely respectful and polite!

My review is strictly based off the many, many times I have ordered delivery from here through seamless. They are my go-​to place if i can not decide on anything else or it is late and most things are closed or no longer delivering in Tribeca i click on them. My food has always arrived promptly, has still been hot when i open it, and consistently delicious!
I like that I can order lunch specials, dinner, sushi and sashimi and I know I will be satisfied, the portions are perfect! I am also notoriously guilty for being that person with a bunch of add-​on requests in the notes section and they always accommodate without a problem.
The $ 10 seamless delivery minimum is super easy to get to with so many tasty options. I always order veggie meals and dishes and love my food every time! Broccoli with garlic sauce and white rice is my most ordered dish and i always request it to be extra spicy.
One day i will actually make it into the restaurant and dine in… until then i will continue to enjoy awesome delivery service.

Delivery is prompt and you get a lot of food with a lunch special for only $ 10. You get an entrée, small salad, dumplings, and miso soup. I order the pad thai lunch special but was a little disappointed in how bland the sauce was on the noodles. Since I’ve had better pad thai for the same price, I probably won’t order from here again.

My review is for delivery service. This place uses quality ingredients and the delivery guy is pleasant. They also delivered w/​in the estimated time frame. Those things aside, the food arrived cold and the fried rice was actually vegetable white rice — it was not fried. It also had tofu in it, which I don’t eat — would’ve been nice if they listed that ingredient on the menu. I would still order from here again since the negatives don’t totally outweigh the positives.

Their tuna and avocado salad is actually pretty good but this review is for the pad Thai lunch special that I got, which is far the very worst pad Thai that I’ve gotten ever. There was absolutely no flavor in the very meat and egg sparse dish that even squeezing the tiny lime slice that’s on the side and then spraying the dish with sriracha couldn’t save it. I’m sure the sushi and non-​Thai food options are fine here but do avoid the pad Thai noodles.

I ordered the sushi lunch special and couldn’t eat half of it. The soup was basically salt water, the «salad» was brown and wilted, and the fish smelled so bad not even wasabi and soy sauce could mask it. I will not be back. There are better options for lunch.

I always order online from them but once I had lunch at the actual place. Both have been prompt, satisfying experiences with friendly service. I’m picky about my sushi and while this isn’t fancy fish-​flown-​from-​Japan sushi that you dream about at night, it’s really good. Everything is fresh and tastes great. The non-​sushi selection is extensive, too: my partner, who is allergic to fish and seafood, loves their ribs. The only thing we didn’t like was the green tea ice-​cream. Somehow, it was just meh, like a Haagen Dazs version of the Japanese staple.

One word — horrible! Tasteless food, bland for Thai and Asian. The only things good was the house salad with ginger dredging. Go to Subway instead it’s right next door.

It’s not Thai place but food is ok. Very fast and good for business lunch. Good portions and cheap.

Picked up lunch from here. Was pleased with the nice atmosphere and promo service. I wanted to like the food… but found it pretty mediocre. It’s nice that the lunch specials come with soup, salad, and a side, but my main dish (shrimp pad Thai) seemed like it was leftovers that had been heated up in the microwave. It was fine, didn’t taste bad or anything, but I was disappointed. Also the pad thai is spicier than normal pad thai, so be forewarned if you’re sensitive to spice.

This place was great! It’s a restaurant that exhibits immense class while maintaining the ambiance of a small restaurant. The service was impeccable, and everyone was very nice and helpful. The waitor came by often and got us anything we asked for in a matter of seconds.
The food was GREAT. It had way better preperation than was expected based on the price (which btw were really low for the quality). The food also tasted great. One of the things I loved was that it tasted wholesome. They use very little oil and the food tastes very healthy. The portion size was also perfect. It filled me right up but didn’t leave me feeling bloated or in a food coma.
Overall, I plan to go back and I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys great food, at a great price, and amazing service.

Stopped here with my boys for a dinner actually for a second time. My wife ordered a chicken pad thai, all of the boys went for a shrimp pad thai (with 2 of my boys asking for an extra shrimp). Miso soup was good, same for an appetizers of steamed dumplings and spring rolls (with one very interesting option — a Philadelphia cream cheese filling ?). Pad Thai was little bit too spicy for a my taste — but I finished it up anyway, now with my wife is another story — she could not stand the heat and requested another portion with a white souse — no spice, so if next time you are ordering pad thai ask the waiter about how spicy it is. By the way service was OK with water glasses filled promptly (back on the West Coast with the severe draught — you have to ask for a water in the restaurant).

I never write reviews and I wanted to give this place a high score but I found a 4 inch piece of balled up plastic wrap in my udon noodle dish — so disgusting! Never ordering here again.

Yuck!
I’m convinced that I ate dog meat. The Korean ribs… YUCK!!!
Horrible and pricey

usually I get ok service when I order from here. Today however, what’s up ab? You didn’t have any customers how come my meal was so blah? the eel was 4 little pieces over rice and they gave me wasabi and ginger. What for? I didn’t order sushi/​sashimi. for $ 11 bucks… $ 12 after taxes, I’m feeling a little bit jipped here. If I wanted to get raped by portions and prices, I def would have ordered from sushi samba instead.
aside from this experience, they have ok rolls. doesn’t justify this one bad experience though. kinda mad about this :/

Thai Crispy Chicken Cutlet ($ 9) — another satisfying lunch, quality, portion and price all match = good deal!
The cutlet was cooked perfectly, the chicken meat was juicy and crunchy outside. It also comes with sweet chili sauce with fresh pineapple chunks (see my photo). The sauce is to pour over the beautiful cutlet and became Thai Hot & Sour chicken. I really appreciated the sauce that wasn’t poured over the cutlet and kept crunchiness of the cutlet and brought here but in the side container. The cutlet tasted very tasty by itself.
Sweet beans weren’t overcooked and crunchy fresh without green taste, yum! The spring rolls (2) came with were crunchy good so as the fried rice, to my surprise. It was smoky and light with small cut of carrot, corn, green beans and egg, highly recommend to try. Shiro (white) miso soup and dressed with a sweet carrot dressing salad were nothing special to write about but they were good.
I had been having a good luck from them so far. I more likely to try other dishes that I haven’t try like Unilocaler recommended American sushi rolls.
