Good quick vegan food

This is an order at the counter type place, which is good for a quick meal. Ordered the breakfast burrito with tofu and mushrooms & hash browns, thinking the hash browns were made in-house, alas it was a frozen packaged-type hash brown on the side (same ones sold at Trader Joe's), which was still good, but I was hoping for something more homemade. Also got the pancakes, which were very cakey and tasty, had a side of mock bacon which was very flavorful, but was crunchy like chips. Overall good portion sizes, we did not leave hungry. Would come back, with the expectation of more of a fast-food vibe, not diner style with wait staff.

Pros: All vegan!, Tasty food, Quick service

Cons: A little pricy

Hot & fresh bites!

I ordered a bowl with cauliflower rice, edamame, kofta kebab, broccoli, avocado, and their house white sauce. I was happy to see that they gave me a whole half avocado as part of my 3 included vegetable options (no extra charge). You order at the counter, then wait. There are a few tables and the space is somewhat small. Clean, but not fancy. I had to wait about 10 minutes for my order, but it was hot & FRESH! The serving size was good and I felt sated and happy that I'd found something healthy & delicious to eat. It cost about $18, but I think that's typical for the area, so didn't think it was outrageous. I thought there were a somewhat large number of menu options, it took a while for me to decide on what I wanted.

I would DEFINITELY go back.

Pros: Fresh, custom preparation, Generous portion

Great but a bit pricy

The sandwich was actually incredible I loved it. The store was pretty dead when I got there but it was the middle of the day on a weekday and there's construction in their building rn so hopefully it's not always like this.

It is pricy as I ended up paying $17.42 on a single burger after tax and everything but to be fair to them they didn't lie about the prices on the menu so whatever.

Would go again just not regularly.
The cashier was also very polite and sweet.

Fast and cute, fast but GOOD.

Having a vegan place that isn’t a fine dining experience and just takes the edge off cooking on a late night is what NYC (and many more) vegans lacked. Vegan Grill pulled through. Because while quick and delivery and to-go options encouraged, their dine in experience is still very cute and intimate. And if you choose the delivery/to-go route, you’ll be SO pleased. They’ve got all the dishes a vegan needs on a late night. All vegan Crunch wraps, tacos, burritos, milkshakes, breakfast items, burgers, chicken sandwiches, pastas. THANKS VEGAN GRILL. The vegans needed you!

SO so delicious!

We were not expecting this place to be that good! We had seen some mixed reviews but decided to stop by and are so glad we did. Everything we tried came out perfectly hot, fresh, tasty, and quick! We loved it so much. We tried the corn ribs and the chopped cheese melt, both of which I'd highly recommend. Also, big portions and reasonably priced! Don't sleep on this place!

Pros: Flavorful, Big portions, Reasonably priced

A favorite

This place has a location near my home and near my work, so I order delivery from them all the time! I've loved everything I've tried, but especially the corn ribs (creamy sauce with parmesan that is just amazing), crunch wrap (my go-to at Taco Bell in pre-vegan days), and wings.

It's definitely a fast-food type place, but the nachos are very good and have a lot of veggies if you're looking for something a little more healthy.

The inside of the restaurant is not fancy, but there is space to sit and eat if you prefer that to take out or delivery.

Delish

We took a taxi from LGA with roller bags and this was our first stop in NYC. My husband had the Philly cheese steak wrap and I had the fish sandwich. The order of tator tots was a full bowl. We also ordered the chocolate shakes. The lady working that day was very friendly and even added a little cinnamon to our chocolate shakes. Everything was delish.

Pros: Friendly staff, Comfort food

Decent

Mostly comfort food (burgers, mock meat dishes, pasta) along with some fairly decent healthy options. I opted for their version of "Create-a-bowl" which included a base of mixed greens, roasted broccoli, cauliflower, Avocado and sweet potato. Very satisfying.

Pros: Quick and friendly service, Clean

perfect junky food, nice space for quick bite

crunch wrap was great and the rest of the menu looked like perfect not-too-healthy food! crunchwrap came with a choice of impossible or beyond. had that perfect CRONCH.

Pros: friendly service, desserts available! , extensive menu

Delicious Just egg scramble

I was so happy that I got there in time for breakfast (before noon) and the scramble I ordered was very good. I was given a choice of 4 vegetables and a cheese. When I hesitated over the faux meat I was told I could have mushrooms instead and they were wonderful. I liked that it came with toast and vegan butter. Next time, I’ll ask them to mix the veggies into the eggs, although it’s not a big deal to mix it up yourself (unless you’re a slob like me in which case a certain amount will jump out of your plate and onto the table). I’ll also ask for a substitute for the hash browns next time, not a fan. I also wanted to mention that the person who helped me was very patient and helpful.

If you’re after good wholesome comfort food then this is the place. The best for those traditional ‘eggy’ breakfasts 😋 I had the omelette and it was immense!
