Stumbling upon this hidden gem was a delightful surprise! The malatang is bursting with flavor, and the popcorn chicken exceeded my expectations. The service is friendly and efficient, making it perfect for a quick lunch. Skip the overpriced street food outside and indulge here instead...

I stumbled upon this place after a long search, and it was so worth it. I tried the beef malatong, and wow - the rich, flavorful broth was loaded with thinly sliced beef and a rainbow of veggies. The mix of clear noodles and kombu as a base felt both hearty and healthy!

Also, don't skip the popcorn chicken - crispy, flavorful, and paired with a delectable spicy mayo that kicks it up a notch. Perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner. Highly recommend it!

Nestled beneath Columbus Circle, Lions Gate Grill is a hidden gem you absolutely shouldn’t miss! 🌟

I tried the beef malatong - rich broth, tender beef, and a colorful medley of veggies made it a comforting delight. The clear noodles and kombu added a unique twist that I loved!

The popcorn chicken was another highlight; generously portioned and paired with a spicy mayo that took it to another level!

The casual vibe and friendly staff make it perfect for a solo lunch or a quick bite. Don’t overlook this place when you're in the area! 🍜🌶️
