i'm sorry, if i ask a waiter whats more popular and they just reply back with "depends on what you like" then its a clear sign that they don't know anything about the resturant or the menu. its excusable if its just a casual place like the olive garden, but for a steakhouse c'mon man, i expect the waiters to have a bit more decorum
@@Sean2884 It's an indirect way to ask what they do best if you're not sure what to order. Regulars presumably order what a restaurant does best - but not necessarily, they could just have boring taste. This place is in midtown, so it must have alot of tourists and business crowd. They might not have many regulars, plus many tourists play it safe (and nothing says 'compromise to make everyone in a group happy' like going to a steakhouse). It's a kinda pointless question at newer restaurants or possible tourist traps, but it makes sense at a popular neighbourhood spot.
So many pretentious people commenting about “proper” ways to eat. So ridiculous. Got over yourselves. If I can pay the bill and I’m not disrupting other customers leave me alone and I will do whatever I want and enjoy my meal. Otherwise don’t get all bent when I comment about the stick up your 🫏
I am enjoying your videos dude,your laid back personality and your humor together with that expression when you really like food is super funny.Great review as usual.
I get you're making a joke, but check out Pittsburgh-style steak, also known as black-and-blue. It's a hard, hard char on the outside while staying very rare on the inside. Not all steakhouses can do it, as it can be both tricky, and demanding of special attention (two things a busy kitchen doesn't love), but I really like it.
Actually this is a pretty common style in NY, doing it that way for decades, its the sear, slice, broil method... its a great way to share a porterhouse
that's a form of lazy cooking.... just put the steak into the broiler or flip once cooking always get the grey - red - grey results..... well cooked steak needs to be flipped many times to let the heat distribute evenly for an even cook..... but of course sous vide makes the perfect steak
The fact that this is a premium steakhouse and the give you the crappy little foil wrapped "butter" knobs that are actually 50% hydrogenated seed oils is a total no go for me. I would have walked out at that point.
Hey UA! Great to see you back at steaks! Last time when I was able to catch you and chat during one of the premiere videos, it was nice. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch one of those again as that way I can directly chat with you in a way! I'd be so happy If you had your wish come true and got to experience true Kobe beef! I've had A5 Wagyu many times now and while I think you'd enjoy it overall (I'm always ecstatic when I have a chance to eat it), after watching you for a while now, I think you might not enjoy it quite as much as some others. A5 Wagyu is veryyyyyy buttery, velvety and melts in your mouth. However, for some, it may not have that heavy beefy flavor that they like. Similarly, for some, eating an entire A5 by themselves proves to be too much and it's best enjoyed with someone (perhaps Tina?). I'd highly recommend trying a good* American Wagyu first and then an Australian Wagyu (which in my opinion will probably be your favorite). I say that because Aussie Wagyu, especially a BMS 8/9, has the perfect balance of marbling and flavor. Of course, I'd still recommend trying A5 because it truly is a decadent piece of meat. I'd be more than happy to give you a particular secret suggestion of mine for a place that might be absolutely perfect for you to try A5. Let me know if you'd like that! As a general suggestion though, 212 Steakhouse DOES have true Kobe beef (if memory serves, it's the only one on the East coast that does) and it also has Aussie wagyu as well! Finally, I do hope you also consider trying some steakhouses that aren't in Manhattan. Christos steakhouse in Astoria, for example, is one that I used to like...though admittedly it's been years since I've been! Cheers UA! Keep up the wonderful videos pal!
Dude, any more dressing and that salad would be swimming! I love your channel. I know, watching that first bite, that if your eyes don't squeeze tight, and there is no prolonged grimace, nodding or rocking, then it was probably only okay. If the eyes don't close all the way that is a bad sign. As a cook that is great to see!
Not sure if I’ve ever commented on any of your videos but enjoying them the more I watch keep it up UA 👏🏻👍🏻🍽️🍴🍽️ definitely the last sushi videos being from So Cal
You mentioned going to Japan. You should go now. The yen is very weak compared to the dollar. The price of A5 Wagyu is way more affordable in Japan. But, all A5 isn’t the same. Totally different “steak experience” than in the USA. Do your research about the different types of A5 and where to get it before you go. Highly recommend Royal Mouriya in Kobe. Don’t wait, just do it with a weak yen.
I wish you could have gone to Les Halles when it was still open. It was a French bistro but they had some of the best steaks and the atmosphere was marvelous. I went after Bourdain left, but the quality was still top notch.
If you’re into wagyu, I’d love to see reviews of some of the Korean BBQ spots like Côte or Hyun which have great wagyu add ons. I think you’d enjoy them!
Next time you are in Philly, do yourself a solid, and go back in time.. To the days of the Rat Pack and the like...A lounge that could be in any movie set in the late 50s , early 60s. The dining room is reminiscent of dining halls perhaps in Germany. The front wall are all the charcoal fire pits for the steaks .. Salad bar is spot on ... The Pub in Pennsauken Nj rt 130 ole' airport circle... Old school steakhouse that has been a staple for decades...
I don't eat red meat as well for obvious health reasons. Nevertheless, I actually enjoy watching others eat steak. Living vicariously, I suppose, without clogging my own arteries.
In selected supermarkets in the UK, we get "Wagyu" (I lived in Japan for 5 years) thats between 6-7 on the Kobe scale for around £15 ($USD18). This stuff is a cross between Wagyu bull and Angus Heffer which are genetically very close. Gotta say, the meat is sensational at a fraction of the NYC cost with all the sides equal in quality - especially Jersey (UK) royal potatoes and salads from France. Total cost is nothing more than USD$40 for everything.
We went to Japan this summer. For dinners we ate A5 Waygu 10 of the 14 days and Kobe 2 out of the 14 days. The other two days we settled for sushi. We bought the wagyu from the store (Tobu department store in Ikebukoro). It was insanely inexpensive and absolutely delicious. It was worth paying to fly over there just for the beef. We ate at Kobe 511 and highly recommend it. Kobe 511 was equal to us paying to eat a nice steakhouse in the US. ($1,100 for five of us).
love your videos. and it would be awesome to see a japan tour video as well! hope you make it over there for those kobe steaks and more. the horse meat is a must try too!
How I wish, how I pray UA one day will visit three star restaurants like Arzak in San Sebastián, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence and Frantzén in Stockholm. Yes, it will be costly, but let's support his culinary mission and aid him whether he wants to dine well in America or anywhere else.
Im sure you were thinking "should have ordered the set for an extra $20" when you were looking at that salad. 😅 Marking this steakhouse. That sear and perfect seasoning is 💯
I stay at the hotels next to Empire Steak House when I visit NYC, so I will have to check it out. It sounds like you put an “h” after the “c when you pronounce “Worcestershire”. Put the accent on the first syllable.
I never go on the Westside for Steaks. You should've tried the one Eastside on 50th Street. It's night and day as far as quality and service! 💯 better on the Eastside for Empire Steakhouse

The unexpected and complimentary creamed spinach at the end was a clear attempt to influence your review.
Yes, restaurants do that all the time. But if you've watched a lot of his reviews, you'll know it doesn't work.
It dosent cost them much and its fine. If the extras taste good ill mention them in my yelp review. If not i wont 🤷♂️

Decorum from the staff? In a NYC Steakhouse? That ship sailed in the 1990s!
He always asks these inane questions of the staff and they ignore him , happens most videos
Gotta give him a break 😀
Why does it matter what's popular? Eat what you like, not what's popular.

Wonderful review, UA. The restaurant in itself was beautiful. The steak looked amazing.
It was definitely one of the most beautiful restaurants I've reviewed so far. Maybe only Delmonico's tops this one
@@uaeats imo does not justify $130 for a small steak lol for that sort of money i want something fred flintstone would order.
$19.99 for a small salad is wild.
They use heirloom Romaine lettuce which was fed only spring water through it's life.
I don't mind paying those premium prices for an outstanding meal.
Right, it’s not like they’re making it tableside.
I never buy salads in these kind of places. Just a scam, price wise.
For little rabbits like you it is more than enough 😂 Wanna have a carrot? 🎉

@@jedsteelwell2354 Good for them. My point remains.
Nothing makes my day more than seeing a UA Premiere come across my YT feed. And STEAK!
Quick he's from TH-cam! Get him creamed spinach! Another great video.

Spot on and on point ...
Not a fan of foil wrapped butter patties in a fine dining restaurant. In fairness it looks like Beaver Meadows Grade AA butter not a blend.
When UA critiques steak houses .....his scrunched face is how I gauge how good the steak is...if I don't the face it's not good😅😅😅
I gotta say I really enjoy your reviews there is something just so wholesome and genuine niceness to you.
UA Eats Japan episode, sounds legit to me! 🙌🙌🙌
It's my dream to make that series someday! Even if it doesn't do well views-wise it would be a big passion project

Love your Video's UA! Can't wait to see you in Kobe Japan! Greetings from Curacao, Dutch Caribbean! 🤗🤗
Someday!
im only here because your the only food review guy in american whom closes his eyes when taking bites 😅
