We're convinced this Korean restaurant in Midtown West has never turned out a bad meal. It’s a godsend for pre-theater dining and oh, those little fried tofu clouds! Click here to see our previous coverage.

We turn to this old favorite for superlative lunchtime banh mi. Habit forces us to order the house special #1 with cucumbers, cilantro, carrots, Vietnamese ham and pork roll along with barbecued pork. The only hard decision is choosing between fresh lemon soda and Vietnamese iced coffee.

Shelsky’s may be a newcomer to the smoked-fish game, but its products taste of smoked, cured and pickled know-how. We love the more-chocolate-than-bread babka and how the fish is delicately sliced to order. Pick up brunch fixings here and you’ll look like a genius.

If you have a group to feed, this West Village restaurant (one of an ever-expanding chain) is a reliably delicious go-to place, which features long tables and reasonable prices. We invariably order dan dan noodles, Ma Po tofu, shredded potatoes with vinegar sauce and soup dumplings.

Lamb doner kebab meat rotates on a vertical spit in the open window at this Greenwich Village spot. One the meat is wrapped in a pita with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce, it’s portable food at its best.
