Mar Mar Q. • March 28, 2015Awesome vegetarian spot! Hush puppies were crispy & flavorful w/maple butter. Mushroom appetizer tantalized my taste buds. Bread, carrot & squash entrees were delicious. Loved the carrot dessert!!

Leemor Y. • January 21, 2020Great vegan Mexican spot. Highly recommend the nachos with guac. Favorite taco I tried was the chayote fish. Make sure to try the hot sauces 🌶

Alexandre S. • January 12, 2019Great vegan sandwiches and huge variety of vegan cheeses and cold cuts. Super friendly staff.

David R. • December 25, 2014Everything is a surprise and delight; clearly obsessed over. Coney Island tofu is a standout starter and chicken confit ramen is basically the best chicken noodle soup you'll ever have.

Oliver M. • March 7, 2016Wonderful shop selling cute vegan shoes and accessories - also pick up an NYC vegan restaurant guide!

samantha h. • July 24, 2014A Williamsburg favorite hits the LES. Different menu than the Williamsburg location with more chicken and waffle options. Again can substitute for the shockingly delicious vegetarian fried chicken!

Kyle W. • September 5, 2021The vegan miso is excellent.

Valerie Jane K. • November 26, 2018the tofu lemongrass curry was absolutely amazing; I've never eaten it prepared like this in New York. It's such a rich broth and a must get if you're tired of getting pho all the time!

Parriss J. • June 26, 2023Try any and everything the vegan options are sooo good!

Kaushik S. • April 23, 2019The vegan and vegetarian option is delicious! Don’t think that just because it has soy milk that it’s bad!

Oz L. • December 26, 2016One of the best lunch places in the LES. I highly recommend any of the poke bowls. My new favs are the tofu and the octopus. Also get half quinoa half greens as the base. Great combo.

Kurama G. • June 26, 2017Let me tell you the tale of the Pink Moon. It's pink and freaking delicious. It's has the most explosive and awesome flavour a vegetarian can get there.
