I'm a carnivore and think this place is great. It's not meat. If you can get over that, I think this place executes well and everything was delicious. I didn't find the lack of meat a miss at all. Would definitely come back and order again if I was going meat free. Good to take vegan/vegetarian friends too
It was the first vegan restaurant in my life and not bad. I had Pad-Thai and my wife ordered Pumpkin Gazpacho Bowl. They use some vegetables instead of meat in Pat thai and it was natural. In the Pumpkin Gazpacho, there was kimchi and mixed all kinds of veges. I thought it was just mixed soup or something like that first, but ma wife enjoyed it. The waiter was calm and seemed a nice person. Interesting place.
I lived in upper east side for 6 years, this has been one of my favorite places for vegan food for lunch. After moving to New Haven, today I came back here after almost an year for nostalgia. The place hasn’t changed. Still serve great vegan food. Decor is basic, cute, homely. My favorite are setain skewers, satay tempeh & mango roll. The Thai ice tea is refreshing too.
I’ve eaten at this place several times and all I can say is that this is one of my top favorite places in NYC. Everything I’ve tried was fresh and scrumptious and the portions were good size - definitely not small, and the prices are decent. The owner has been there both times, very friendly. I will definitely be stopping by this place again any time I’m in the area. I’m so thankful for a place like this for when I really want some Asian food but don’t want to worry about what I can order and what I can’t - everything here is vegan so I can order anything! Vegetarian options: Everything is 100% vegan!
Literally like a second home for me, Simon always takes care of me and gives me first class service. Easily my favorite vegan place on the upper eastside. The ambiance is very calm and peaceful with serene music. The perfect place wind down and enjoy a well balanced vegan meal.
Cozy, HIT-W Hole In The Wall Vegan Restaurant with a slew of Pan-Asian dishes that were utterly delicious, decadent, and delightful. I will definitely be visiting Ginger Root Vegan again and again because why not!?
The most amazing Asian vegan restaurant food ever!!! Ordered a couple different appetizers and entrée's with my wife. We will definitely be coming back again!
It’s so delicious and I don’t normally like eating veggies! Portion size is big, this is written after I ate some already How did I not know soy protein and vegetables can taste this good before! The nugget appetizer is so good, so is the soy protein dish on the top in the picture.
Not only the best vegan restaurant I have ever visited, it is among the top restaurants in New York that I plan on returning to again and again. I am only visiting for a couple weeks this trip, and already know what I am going to order before i go home. On my first visit to Ginger Root Vegan I recognize that I now have new standard for vegan Asian Fusion restaurants. MUST HAVES: The brownie, the Orange Seitan, and any of the iced teas.
Fast, kind service with delicious vegan food. The fried king oysters were out of this world. There are also lunch specials.
