Kobeyaki is referred to as the "fast casual Asian Chipotle" around the Eater office, emphasis on fast. There's sushi, ramen, and burgers on the menu, but the rice bowls make for a delightfully satisfying meal. Don't forget to try the sweet potato tempura fries with the teriyaki ketchup.

Another "gourmet" cafe, but with a twist. Pergola has a Mongolian BBQ setup. Choose your meat, throw in some veggies, maybe some noodles, cover it with sauce and hand it off to the grill master. He'll throw it onto the enormous flat top and cook it up. I've also heard Pergola has some tasty sandwiches. [Photo Credit]

Savour Sichuan has only been open a few days, but it's already become a favorite in the Eater office. Sure, 39th St. is already home to a number of Szechuan powerhouses, but we aren't complaining.Savor Sichuan appears to be operated by the proprietors of La Vie en Szechuan, as they have the NY Times review of La Vie printed on their menu. Nonetheless, we welcome another Szechuan restaurant to our neighborhood, and Savor Sichuan is is right at home.

If you're craving a kati roll and Kati Roll Company is either too far away, or the line too long, fear not. Kati Junction is a great replacement. Sure, the two companies might be duking it out in court, but the more kati, the better.

Szechuan Gourmet has been a longtime Eater favorite, and for good reason. This unassuming storefront is home to some of the best Szechuan food NYC has to offer. With daily lunch specials typically under $8 (with soup and rice), you really can't go wrong here.

The original kati roll business, and arguably still the best. Two of these and you're set for lunch.

From the street, Zeytinz may look like every other "gourmet" cafe in Midtown, serving up hundreds of different cuisines. However, upon further inspection, Zeytinz stands out among the competition. Way in the back, you'll find a bibimbap bar, not to be outdone by their oven roasted sandwiches and chicken gyro wrap.

Maison Kayser on 40th street has recently expanded its interior with more places to sit and chat, but lunchtime in Midtown is all about grab-and-go. Maison Kayser has insane French breads, rotating seasonal salads (RIP until next autumn, Autumn Salad), pre-wrapped sandwiches, hearty soups, and totally acceptable coffee served by a staff outfitted in matchy-matchy striped French St. James tees.

Alidoro's Soho location has been serving up sandwiches to the masses for a while now, so the Midtown outpost arrived to quite a bit of hype. The sandwiches here aren't just delicious, they are huge. Try getting a sandwich on some of Alidoro's focaccia bread. [Photo Credit]

If you're looking for Japanese curry in Midtown, Go! Go! Curry is the place. Pork, chicken, shrimp or sausage, it's all here. You can mix-and-match, or get them all together in one enormous plate.

El Sabroso, along with a few other Midtown spots, resides deep inside a commercial building. The entrance to El Sabroso can be easily mistaken for the building's freight entrance, because it is the building's freight entrance.Regardless, El Sabroso is serving up some killer Latin American food. Give the roast chicken a try. [Photo Credit]

There isn't much you need to know about Park Italian Gourmet except for the fact that it's a good ol' fashioned Italian deli. Cold cuts, plenty of prepared goodies and a tasty Italian sandwich. Oh, and it's cash only, I guess that's kind of important. [Photo Credit]

It might a little outside the ordinary Midtown border, but it's worth the trek. This is about as authentic as it gets in this neighborhood. Eater's own Robert Sietsema visited this gem last year and tells us all we need to know.

Margon is a true Midtown gem. Famous for their Cuban sandwich, this is far from the only thing to order at this little Cuban restaurant. Lines can get a little long, but the roast chicken, served on a plate or stuffed in a sandwich, is worth the wait. [Photo Credit]

Num Pang's location just off Times Square can make it a difficult place to reach, but it is worth the trip. With a number of seasonal special sandwiches, in addition to their regular menu, there's something for everyone. Plus, the grilled corn makes the perfect companion to any of their sandwiches.

There's no other way to describe New York Kimchi other than as a Korean food court. Choices range from bibimbap to a Korean-style Cheesesteak. Our recommendation: try everything. [Photo Credit]

Can you ever have too many choices for Turkish food? We don't think so. [Photo Credit]

Rumors of Treehaus' fantastic lunch spreads have made their way west, where Treehaus does not exist. The hot buffet always looks great, and you can't forget about the ramen. [Photo Credit]

Did you have a change of heart on your walk to get a delicious grilled cheese from Melt Shop? Well, right next door you'll find something healthier. The Little Beet offers lunchers a number of different proteins, paired with sides like charred broccoli or roasted sweet potatoes. Don't forget to grab a cold pressed juice before you depart.

One of the main contenders in the best Cuban sandwich competition (vs. Margon). Here's another Cuban restaurant with a killer hot table.

Schnipper's Quality Kitchen has a lot to offer. From a tuna sandwich to a sloppy joe with cheese fries, there's something for everyone, regardless of their diet. Personally, I've enjoyed Schnipper's sandwiches paired with the sweet potato fries. [Photo Credit]

Glaze may not be known for their portion sizes, but the combo meals here make for a great lunch. With chicken (breast or thigh), steak, salmon, tofu and pork on the menu, even the pickiest person in your office will find something. The cold soba noodle salad pairs nicely with all of the above.

Fast casual Middle Eastern cuisine, need we say more? Naya Express needs to expand further across midtown. While not for the faint of heart, you'd be foolish to walk out of Naya Express without some of their garlic whip.

Joe's Shangai opening in Midtown was an example of the kind of business decision we wish more restaurants would follow. There is no better for option for soup dumplings in this neighborhood. You'll find the prices at Joe's Midtown location to be a little higher, and we wouldn't recommend ordering the soup dumplings to-go.

Luke's Lobster has been popping up all over the city, so It was only a matter of time until Midtown got its very own location. If you're looking to grab a lobster roll to bring back to your desk, Luke's Lobster is a great choice. [Photo Credit]

GRK is yet another example of a new fast-casual concept coming to Midtown, which will hopefully mean more efficient and affordable Greek food, making this Midtown employee very happy. The meats, or "Yeero", at GRK hopefully won't disappoint. [Photo Credit]

There is no shortage of pizza restaurants in Midtown, so Pizza By Cer Tè stand apart from the crowd with a menu filled with unique pizza toppings. Each month, Pizza By Cer Tè introduces a monthly pizza special. February's pizza is the "CCU", or "Cabbage/Carbonaro/Under Root Veggies" (pictured below). If you find yourself bored from the current pizza options in Midtown, give Pizza By Cer Tè a try. [Photo Credit]

Those who are lucky enough to be within walking or delivery distance of Omar's Kitchen & Bakery know of the quality Mediterranean cuisine being served up. Omar's strives to be quick, delicious and affordable. Take one look at the chicken shawarma platter below and decide if Omar's Kitchen & Bakery is for you. [Photo Credit]
