Not too good

We ordered a pizza. Sadly it was quite small and the taste wasn’t as good as expected. One pizza was way too spicy and the other one tasted a bit blend. So sad because this company has a nice variety of dishes.

Really delicious!

My friend and I went for the first time, and split several dishes: Buffalo Cauliflower, BBQ wings, garlic broccoli, mushroom empanadas and some chocolate chip tahini cookies. Everything was so good! The cauliflower wasn't my favorite, but I don't eat much fried food, but the flavors on everything was so good!! I'd definitely go back! The cookies were the perfect level of sweetness and were so tasty!

Pros: Amazing food, Great atmosphere , All vegan

Cons: Non-app plates are a bit pricey

I really like the vibe they are cultivating but food leaves a lot to be desired

Lovely space with lots happening. Brings a lot to the community... However the food is just not great. Empanada with unmelted shreds of vegan cheese... Pizza with undercooked dough. It would honestly be fine if it wasn't an exceptionally expensive place for the area but it is. Either prices need to change or quality needs to go up.

Pros: Vibe, Community events/ outreach , Lovely staff

Great place

The prices were fair and the food was really tasty. We also went on a salsa dancing night which added to the great vibes.

King of Queens 👑🤴👑

This is one of the few vegan restaurants in Queens. Yet even if it were in a more densely populated vegan area, this place would be a standout. The food is very creative. I had a vegan scallopini and a mac-and-cheese, my friend had a “warrior” sandwich 🥪, and everything was delicious. The portions were a bit small, so you might need to plan to get a main and an appetizer.

The setting is quite nice: clean, and roomy, with a funky type of décor (see photos) and /R&B/soul music playing (softly) in the background; evidently, they also have live music 🎼 on certain nights. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The food here is by no means cheap, but not ridiculously priced, either.

Although not located in a touristic part of the city, this venue is close to a subway stop that is a 10-minute ride 🚊 from Manhattan (15 minutes from Grand Central).

Ice cream!

The cereal ice cream was some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had.

Solid Spot In Queens!

Really cool spacious location in Astoria with friendly staff loads of rock n roll, hip hop & pop iconography everywhere. Had the Buffalo chik’n sandwich (made w/ seitan) & added some avocado. Had a side of hand-cut fries & they were fresh but definitely heavily salted. I would rather add the salt myself. Still, a very hearty lunch & I would come back here! The menu is substantial & has an all-day breakfast as well.

Pros: Great sandwich, Good service, Spacious

Cons: Heavy on the salt

Good food, nice options

I ordered the waffles with wing’ and cherry ice cream. Loved the combination of the ingredients on the waffles dish and the crispiness of the seitan “wings”.
They have lots of options and the local looks cool. The food came fast. I recommend it.

Pros: Fully vegan, Lots of options , Affordable

Awesome restaurant with varied options and the best fried pickles I've ever had

We came here on a Monday night while they didn't have any events going on, so it wasn't too busy. The service was very friendly, and all of the food that we tried was delicious. We have been to some of their other locations and this one was just as good, if not better! The highlight for me were the fried pickles, which were somehow the most delicious I've ever had! I would come back just for the pickles, the cherry on top is the rest of the delicious menu. Other things we tried were the Korean wings and the BLT. Next time we come back, we are hoping to see some of the live music.

So good!

We had espresso martinis and margaritas that were so good! The Mac and cheese was perfect so tasty. The plantain balls and the mushroom steak with mashed potatoes were just okay but the chicken and waffles and the French toast were delicious. Excited to come back!
