Yura On Madison — Restaurant in New York

To the Owner - please hire a cashier who is polite and likes her job. I visited Yura's at around 12:30ish on Tuesday, 11/2. After one of the women behind the counter asked me for my order, I clearly responded with "pumpkin pie." I was on my phone and ready to pay when a different woman at the cashier's register, who apparently did not hear my order, asked me to "step away from the line" because I was on the phone. I was a bit surprised by the rudeness and told her that I just ordered a pumpkin pie from the lady who initially asked for my order.

One time I forgot to pick up the rice for my salmon meal. The lady was really friendly about it. The croissant looks like good quality too but I never tried it. There are so many other good croissant places in UES so I haven’t had to chance...

Great soups! Friendly staff, but new location is disappointing -- what is with the ice bucket full of sandwiches wrapped in plastic? I've purchased several soggy sandwiches -- this needs to be rethought. I now only go here when I don't feel like walking far from my office, when I used to come for lunch at least 3-4 times a week. Good for pastries to go and catering, but I can't eat pastries and I miss the grab and go food options and prepared foods. Prior to the move this would have been a 5 star...
