You probably weren’t thinking of getting the Celery Root Schnitzel, but I’m vegetarian so that’s what I got. It’s pretty good, a panko fried veg with sauce on top. Kudos for thinking outside of the box
A very homey interior that serves amazing comfort food - love how they highlight the Eastern European palate while keeping the dishes light and balanced. Came for lunch specifically for the sandwiches and they did not disappoint.
Very nice staff, food was great. I even had chicken liver and it was good 🤯. Loved the neighborhood!
just like not good - flavorless salty and oily; not a generous portion of tuna with the tuna melt could barely taste it. and very expensive as well? i don’t know, really disappointed with the food and the service is not great either. the space is cute and the andes chocolates are nice.
I discovered Agi’s Counter after an influencer mentioned the business was struggling financially and encouraged people to support. Third time’s the charm- I tried to go twice before but arrived during their break (they’re closed from 3 to 5:30 PM), so definitely check the hours before heading over.
I finally made it in on a Sunday when I was craving a tuna melt. I called ahead hoping to place a to-go order but they told me to just order it when I got there since it would be ready quickly. I ended up waiting at least 15 minutes, which I wouldn’t consider fast, but the tuna melt was absolutely delicious and I’d 100% order it again.
I noticed the sides were slightly different from what I see in other photos, mine came with a full small pickle and a few peppers, while others seem to get coleslaw. Not a big deal, just a small inconsistency to note.
From what I could see, business seemed to be doing well, which is great to see. I’m glad I finally got to try it and would come back just maybe not when I’m in a rush.
I came back to agis for brunch after scoring a reservation a month in advance and sadly had a lackluster experience.I hadn't been in over a year and wanted to support them. I'm sorry to say that it will be my last time. The menu and service had changed significantly. There's are a lot more sandwiches on the menu, no egg dishes and they got rid of the coveted devil eggs. The highlights of the meal were the small hash brown plate over sour cream, similar to a deconstructed latke and the candied grapefruit. The sandwich de jour was roast beef which was soaked in a plate of oil, one small slice of roast beef and many other flavorless textured veggies of sorts. I didn't taste any horseradish and for $20, I'd expect more meat. Probably should went with the tuna melt. The devil eggs are now called "jammy eggs" which was one soft boiled egg cut in half face down in a sea of mayo and green oil. We added chicken skin, thinking to add a salty bite, but it was more like a long, hard piece of bark. I used to LOVE the deviled eggs with anchovies, this was cold and not appetizing. I wish they'd bring back the old simplified menu, it was fantastic, and the warm hospitality. Overall we left disappointed, hungry and bummed by the outcome.
The vibe at AGI’S CORNER is so relaxed & the service impeccable. The menu offerings are seasonally “sensitive”, varied and not overwhelming in number or price! The dishes are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, scintillating to the tastebuds, nutritious, not skimpy & respectful of their cultural heritage.
Heartbroken beets (homemade chamomile vinegar, mild tasty, smooth blue cheese), chicken liver mousse (homemade crackers off the chart perfect pairing), chicken parikas (grandmother AGI’S recipe we were told), roast hake, Bableves (hearty healthy tasty Hungarian bean soup) w buttered bread AND cheescake with delicate fresh fruit were shared AND all enjoying were amazed at the quality of each dish!
It was great to meet team members so welcoming, so engaging. Mack & team members we met (Amanda, Sara, Nico, David, Mason, Lewis) were professional, friendly, seemed to be genuinely engaged and each contributed to our very memorable, positive experience.
I am sending gift certificates to my children so they can experience AGI’S CORNER and if as pleased as their mother, I hope they will share the love and introduce others to this hidden gem!
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal as much as I did this one. First of all, the heartbroken beets, could have eaten only that all night! The Chicken Paprikas was delicious! And that cheesecake! Oh, goodness! Also, our server, Amanda was a sweetheart and was very good at helping us decide which meal by explaining the ingredients and flavors. (Who knew blue cheese and beets might work!) Also very pleasant Nico, Devon, and Sarah! We sat at the bar so had a chance to say hi to the Chefs, Mason, Louis, and David, and Our Sous Chef , "Mac" (who also explained some about the dishes!) was marvelous! The room was warm and friendly, great experience! I'll be back to NYC for this culinary experience as soon as I can! Yes, Chef!
This is a lovely Hungarian restaurant with a warm and cozy atmosphere. Although the space is small, the vibe feels intimate and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, which makes the whole dining experience very comfortable.
The food is well-executed and thoughtfully balanced. The chicken liver appetizer with crispy chips, celery, and pickled cherries was a standout — incredibly smooth and rich, while the cherries added just the right acidity to cut through the heaviness and leave a clean, satisfying finish.
The pork chop was also very good. It was slightly on the firmer side, but the peach sauce paired with it beautifully, adding a subtle sweetness that kept the dish from feeling greasy. The fries were crispy and flavorful, though a bit salty — a minor issue that didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.
The biggest surprise was the New York cheesecake. Served with blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries, it wasn’t overly sweet at all. The fruit balanced the richness of the cheesecake perfectly, creating a light and elegant finish to the meal.
Overall, this restaurant clearly excels at using fruit to balance rich flavors. A highly recommended spot if you’re looking for a refined and enjoyable Hungarian dining experience.
Had a great lunch at Agis, the highlight was definitely the tuna sandwich which was spot on, with fresh tasting tuna and perfectly toasted bread. We also had the chicken sandwich which in my opinion was a miss, unwieldy and out of place on the menu. The reviews about the bathroom smell were not wrong, I took a photo of the candle because it smelled so good. Lastly the cheesecake was pretty solid, did not regret getting it. Would definitely come back for a quick lunch or brunch.
