coughsoda: So damn good. Silky tofu appetizer is my favorite tofu I've had
Serious Eats: Excellent buckwheat noodles, delicate and nuanced broths, and fresh custard-like tofu. Vegetarian and meaty broths are on hand; both are excellent.

tiffany yee: order the vegetarian ramen, it's not on the menu and it's one of the best vegetarian ramens ever. and add spicy taste on the side!
Helen S: don't miss the appetizers: pork buns, samurai ribs, goma kyuri, agedashi tofu, and the wings!
M. C.: Really nice restaurant, delicious ramen, optional with tofu for vegetarians, really nice design, open clean kitchen and cozy atmosphere!
C Negra: Spicy, Classic, Pork, Veg... All REALLY good and less expensive than the knockoffs in Brooklyn :-p
Paul Tepper: Vegan lemongrass (spicy) is my fave. New bubble tea counter is nice - the watermelon (ripe watermelon + ice + BlendTec) is really good to beat the summer heat.
Timelessnomad: I've tried all of the vegan sandwiches and they are all amazing! My favorites are the curry tofu and the lemongrass tofu. Cash only but cheep! Sandwiches are large and can be two meals. Get it spicy!

Halstead Property: Taim is a wonderful place as it serves terrifically authentic Israeli food and also caters to vegetarians. The falafel was one of the best we’ve experienced in NYC.
Dario Manuli: Take the Falafel sampling plus hummus, taboule and babaganoush. Best in town for a quick veg bite!
Mike Winston: The Sabich Sandwich is my favorite vegetarian dish in NYC. It's loaded with eggplant, hard-boiled egg, hummus, and more but the amba sauce is the key. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more.
