This little glassy bright restaurant Som Bo is one of my only true favorites left in New York. Asian-inspired protein bowl menu. Surprisingly good prices and not oily crap. Freshly cut steak bowl with two sides and rice only $15.50. Prices are such that they end up even with tax. Water available and plenty of seating. They have a delightful tomato-egg side dish and all the veggies are good. Not trying too hard. This was a favorite during Covid for me also. I hope it’ll stay in business. It’s a one-off.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as asian — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Wide V and GF selection. Fresh and tasty. Nice atmosphere. You build you meal, first select a base, then two additions, main course and toppings as you convenienty move between stations. Selections are conveniently displayed at each and every station clearly marked as V or GF or none. The end result is nice.
