ZenFoodsterFebruary 26, 2014Cheaper than Hangawi. Clean & zen all-vegan Asian lazy-lunch retreat w/ a jug of lychee wine, Peking buns, scallion pancakes, Vermicelli Spring Rolls, their stone pots, & pumpkin noodles salad.
AlexandraNovember 6, 2014Nice, calm ambiance. Look up! There's a gorgeous ceiling. Food was good and well presented. Overall it's a great place!
Sara MarcosNovember 28, 2017Very romantic and excellent service. Food was very tasty, fresh and rich in flavors and colonies. The atmosphere for dinner is very romantic for either a date or a group of friends. Highly recommended
- ZenFoodsterAugust 22, 2019A bit cheaper than Hangawi. My fave zen all-vegan Asian lazy-lunch or dinner retreat. Get lychee wine, Peking duck buns, Combo Pancakes, Vermicelli Spring Rolls, stone pots, & pumpkin noodles salad.
Eric HoMay 16, 2017The vegan sushi rolls and scallion pancakes are 🙌. Follow my food journey on Instagram @EricHoRaw
Kate HindAugust 25, 2014This place is really good. I like the soy "chicken" curry stone bowl with brown rice. The hot bowl makes the rice deliciously crispy. Lots of herbal teas (try tangerine peel) for anyone caffeine-free
Ernesto GutierrezNovember 21, 2017Meat lovers will appreciate the Mediterranean stone bowl. A delicious dish that allows you to pretend you are still eating meat. Spicy kimchi and the soy grain dumplings are worth tasting as well.- Vic ZaudDecember 24, 2014Loved the spicy tuna roll and stone pot dishes. Try the steamed duck buns (yummmm) and these new steamed won tons. Vegetarian's dream - this place is!!!!
Rachel CMay 8, 2014Amazingly expanded menu since it opened. The variety of mock meats used in bibimbaps, sushis, and noodle dishes is impressive. The flavors are rich, presentation is nice. Will definitely be back.
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013Korean food goes vegan! Get Avocado Bibimbap for a bowl of thin strips of tofu absorbing that fresh avocado and sweet and spicy Korean chili sauce – all served on a bed of perfectly crispy rice.
Wow, did not expect this place to be that good. The $16 lunch box gets you a pancake trio, brown rice, green salad, 2 dumplings, kimchee, AND an entree. Got the pumpkin and tofu which was amazing.
John ASeptember 7, 2014Cool venue and yummy vegetarian food options. Bibimbop stone kettles are great. Mock chicken is better than the mock duck.
Jeffrey ZeldmanJuly 5, 2013Delicious Korean Vegan (bet you never expected to see those three words together), amazing teas (try first green), serene environment.
Chris KonecnyMay 7, 2015A unique food experience for me. I don't eat alot of Korean food but i should! Veggie Stone Bowl!!! The bowl is so hot the food sizzled until last bite. First dish that actually gets hotter as you eat
Tasting TableDecember 19, 2014Pop into this Korean café and slip into a civilized cup of green, white, fruit, flavored or herbal tea and a creative selection of vegan tapas and sushi, desserts or gluten-free dishes. Read more
Paul GernayNovember 3, 2018Very pleasantly surprised. Quite tasty and varied. Really worth a go if that's what you're looking for.
Elliot ChanceAugust 13, 2016Fantastic vegetarian and vegan food. You almost don't even realise there is no meat. A wide selection of Asian dishes.
- drew tarvinJune 7, 2015A great spot for vegetarian food, even if you aren't a vegetarian. It's a more casual, cheaper alternative to Hangawi.
Serious EatsApril 25, 2013Accomplish two major feats at once: finding tasty vegan food and a serene dining spot in the bustling craziness of Midtown.
Amanda GluckMay 23, 2016One of the best vegan restaurants in Manhattan. Amazing curries, dumplings and faux beef. Make sure to get the cheesecake.- Jeannette L.June 26, 2015The Vegetarian 'Duck' Stone Bowl is amazing! It's also very hot when brought to the table, so let it cool a little bit before diving in!
Try everything! They're all delicious:))) Will be back! And highly recommended:))))
Yashaswi DevaruMay 2, 2014Great food for all veggie lovers..small place but nice well spaced ambience. Express service. Try the spicy noodles and their pancakes
NollyApril 4, 2014Great food for first time going to vegan restaurant- had the avocado bowl. Didn't like the snow few tea like others did. But the citron paste tea was awesome.
AmateurConciergeMay 5, 20161/3 of the pancakes (kimchi) were good, crispy eggplant wasn't bad but if you're not a vegan I don't think you'll love this place too much. If you are...you will?
Donna McMarch 3, 2013Tourist tip: If you're hungry, try either of the prix fixe menus. A good sampling of food at a great price.
Vivian VoMay 30, 2015Got the laksa (not authentic but still delicious), and the eggplant (very few crispy eggplant pieces). I would come back again to try other dishes though.
Steph PMay 31, 2015The spicy buffalo chicken and spicy kimchi dumplings are delicious! Also, the duck stone bowl is a must.
JennyOctober 12, 2013Amazing food! Sample the tapas and save room for one of their amazing desserts!
Margot MazurDecember 15, 2014Delicious vegan meals. Absolutely come for lunch—you cant beat the lunch specials and it can be pricey otherwise.
Tejash ShahJune 12, 2019Both The sizzlers and dumplings are very delicious. Also have very unique soju cocktails.- Eliberty LopezJanuary 1, 2015Avocado bibimbap and the soy chicken soup are delicious. Not a fan of the stuffed shiitake mushroom beet dish.
Erica LeibnerJuly 25, 2019Sooooo good! Awesome dumplings!!!! Want to get a stone bowl next time. And the cheesecake.
Tiffany LangstonNovember 14, 2015Tasty, healthy food that will fill you up, but won't weigh you down. Great gluten-free options
The tea here is delicious and refreshing. The Vegan food is also surprisingly delicious and well-portioned. Will definitely come back for more!- Eric HinmanDecember 13, 2013Get the avocado stone bowl w/chicken. Comes out sizzling hot + delicious.
Rob LealOctober 15, 2014Carrot apple ginger with black tea is just a perfect combination between ice tea and a smootie
Paul TepperSeptember 24, 2011The dumpling noodle soup and ramen w/lobster balls are both good. A little over priced, but nice, quiet atmosphere and one of the few vegetarian restaurants in the neighborhood.
Jess SDecember 23, 2012Kimchi or scallion pancakes, pumpkin salad & jasmine tea. Or... srsly anything else on the menu, everything is delish
FreezeCrowdOctober 4, 2011Quite possibly the best vegan vegetable miso soup in the city. Excellent selection of Pad Thai as well, and the service was exceptional.
Anami NguyenDecember 3, 2016Favorite Korean spot: flavorful food, tasteful presentation and intimate atmosphere.
Jessica HiemenzJanuary 5, 2013Crab cakes are yum!! Tapas trio gets you three different yummy appetizers if you wanna sample a variety.
Nathan MJune 18, 2016sushi is ok, but the salads and entrees are the best. The tea is great here also
- Kartik RamAugust 14, 2019One of the best thai restaurants I've been to across different countries. Awesome
Kelsey NicoleDecember 8, 2013Order the Nirvana Drink 👍. Stone bowls are nice because it makes the rice crispy. Cute decor.
