Honestly the best vegan food in NYC

I cannot say enough positive things about the food at plant junkie. They have such a diverse menu, so something for everyone and every food-mood. The ingredients are so fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the owner is a fantastic and generous host. I could eat here every day.

Pros: Flavorful and fresh, Comfortable and welcoming, Excellent value

Cons: No cons!

Amazing food and so friendly

Super friendly staff member at the front who discussed why they’d opened an all vegan restaurant like this. I said I was super happy to find them through Happy Cow. Food was delicious - I had the po boy swag- southern po boy sandwich (seitan). It was massive and kept me going for the rest of the day.

So delicious; generous portions!

The couple that owns the restaurant are so kind! The food is delicious! And the best part: the seating area is lovely. Calm and private. Real plates and forks. That’s so rare in NYC these days. Finally somewhere peaceful to eat lunch on a workday!

Pros: Delicious food, Large portions, Private and relaxing seating area

Well worth a visit

What a lovely place. I visited with my family and we really enjoyed it. Between us we had two Classic burgers, a Tree Hugger burger, a Bangkok Noodle Drop and a Po Boy Swag. All of them were delicious!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

If you're in the area then it's well worth a visit.

Very good food

All vegan restaurant. I ordered Tokyo Bowl and it was super good. The BBQ “beef” was almost too realistic but really good. It had the sort of good grilled tasted. The portion was quite big. I took side salad too that that was totally unnecessary 😊

Pros: Taste, Portion Size, Friendly Staff

Upbeat atmosphere and spacious seating area

Great place with happy, upbeat decor and a spacious seating area. I had the NY "Chicken" Caesar Salad as a wrap which was very tasty.

Exceeded expectations

I was expecting a more southern comfort/soul food vibe. Totally on me - once I see something is vegan honestly I don’t put much more thought into it.

Everything we had was delightful. My partner who isn’t usually too keen on salads got one by staff recommendation and loved it. The cake was also great!

Love it!

Chicken Caesar Wrap, “The Hipster,” fries, peanut butter cookie. So good! Fries wonderfully cooked and crispy, sandwiches delicious. They promised us the last peanut butter cookie, but gave it away…to another customer: However, the owner came out, apologized and baked one fresh for us right then. That is a kind, generous person, who took care of us! Highly recommended! Also: great/chill location.

Great food, varied menu, friendly service!

There were loads of great options to choose from here. I went with the meatball sub and my husband had the chicken burger- both were delicious and the portion sizes were great. Really recommend if you're in the area!
