Health Food Restaurants in New York, NY

“Love this place. I used to live nearby and the place was in a different space a lot smaller. Now is a very nice open restaurant. Food is fantastic, service is great. They allow dogs inside. I was very surprised for this and will be back with my furry friend.“

“Ordered the Charred Chicken Bowl, and I must say, it was phenomenal. It had a flavour that was unbeknownst to me in a bowl. The coconut ranch mixed with the habanero sauce, really do create a unique flavour profile. Also, the chicken marination was something that was brand new to me. Do give it a try!“

“Phenomenal vegan fare but its so much more than that.Vlad is an excellent host who really focuses on a fostering a real sense of community, encouraging evenings that focus on muscicians, writers, activists or just hanging out and having a good time!“

“You can rely on getting a fine meal and first-class wine at Arco. It pretty much defines "neighborhood gem." Warm, friendly atmosphere, slightly off-beat Italian cuisine (pistachio pesto, salmon with beet sauce--all of it wonderful).“

“Nice atmosphere, really tasty and cheap meals. We had lunch, 2 people for $26 which is great for the area. Very generous plates and burritos, with drink included and little carrot cake for desert. Only if you really eat a lot will be able to finish the plate! Recommend!!“

“Ate at spice symphony whilst visiting New York and was delighted ! The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, offering suggestions for appetisers and information to assist choosing entrees. The food was lovely, great flavour and good quality. My fish curry was just perfect. I’d certainly recommend.“

“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“

“I decided to check this place out before work. I got the strawberry banana in a large. It was smooth and delicious. The cashier was sweet and friendly also. I will definitely be back. It is pretty cool you get points for joining on Cash app“

“I loved the vibe of the place and the staff were super friendly! Went there with a friend for lunch and although I’ve been to many playa bowl locations, I really liked the decoration and seating in this one. The staff made our bowls quickly and the person working the register was very patient with us as we decided what bowl we were going to get. Always recommend going here for a sweet treat with fresh fruits!“

“One of my favorite places on the UWS, Morningside Heights. Dining here for years now and always have a great meal! Food always fresh, delicious and the staff is great. I do enjoy the 72nd Street and Central Park location but I’ll always love the original.“

“Very healthy and fresh selections. I tried their orange juice, iced coffee, and egg and cheese on a bagel. Very satisfying. Also had a blueberry muffin with coffee another time, which was quite good. Looking forward to trying a smoothie. Great vegan, vegetarian, and keto options. Friendly, good service.“

“Rating is only for the vibes & fresh juices since that's all I've ordered so far. This has been in my neighborhood for YEARS, but only recently did I actually go in to try them out on a whim. Great staff - very friendly and helpful - bright, clean space (with limited outdoor seating available) and delicious juices for a reasonable price -- the Beet It & Go Green are delicious. I hope they consider offering to-go bundles like Pressed (i.e. 6 juices at a slight bulk discount) that you can store in your fridge. I'll be going back to try other juices“

“The staff here is extremely helpful and kind. I had an Oakberry coupon that wasn’t applicable to this location but they still chose to honor it for me as a courtesy in order to save me the walk to another location. Much appreciated and the smoothie was delicious too!“

“Green Symphony is a little gem of a place to eat. Close to Time Sq and Broadway, it’s one of the few small independents that serve great food at reasonable prices. The owners and staff are cheerful and the atmosphere is warmly welcoming. If you’re in NYC, go see for yourself!!!“

“Walked in on a cold day looking for delicious warm drink and was greeted by Flow who welcomed us very well! Gave us an overview of what's offered and Tended to Us wonderfully. The drinks, Matcha for Life, London Fog, and Golden Milk Latte were super on point! Definitely will be back again! Bless!“

“Got the power bowl which has protein powder mixed in with the acai. I also got honey which was an extra $1.50 (crazy for a literal drizzle of honey). Ended up being kind of expensive, $17 for an acai bowl is not ideal. But it was good acai. Nice and smooth, good flavor. Liked how there was granola on the bottom layer as well as the top.“

“I don't live or work in the area but I bike to this Just Salad because it has the best vibes. Starting with JewJew, who is the best, and Ashley, Stefanie, and the whole team is super fantastic. Really appreciate you all making every person's day, including my own. Keep up the awesome work!“

“The Karma Bowl is a dream come true of having multiple Indian dishes in one plate so you can have all those different flavors together! It was so good and had fresh veggies as garnish as well. The garlic bread was also very well-flavored and buttery. This is my top lunch spot for takeout.“

“This place was a treat! We were staying at a hotel down the street and my husband was looking for a place to watch the game so the hotel suggested Goldie's Tavern. It was a very nice American pub. Everyone was lovely and the food was delicious.“

“As someone stuck at home battling COVID and its symptoms, a smoothie from Playa Bowls was a bright spot in my otherwise lousy day. Full of flavor, Playa Bowls has a nice assortment of smoothies and açaí bowls that can serve as both a sweet treat or a nutritious meal. DoorDash allowed me to order from home and get my smoothie in less than 20 minutes, which is a huge win. I'll definitely be back (hopefully in person)!“

“Very impressed with the freshness of the salad and the quality of the proteins. We ordered 2 trays of steak and they were cooked perfectly. And that honey basil dressing was addicting! Schericse was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating. Whoever said healthy foods are not tasty never tried Honeybrains!“

“Playa Bowls is a great place to grab a quick and healthy lunch. I usually get an açaí bowl; today I got an oatmeal. Everyone who’s helped me has always been helpful, easy going, and happy to make substitutions on a dime (ex: strawberries for blueberries). I cant speak for all locations but Playa Bowls at 27th and 7th in NYC is quick and efficient as well. I can be in and out in less than five minutes, which is crucial for me. I always know I will get quick, accurate service and fresh food, so it’s a frequent lunch destination.“

“Super cute nook in a really convenient location! I wish they had a slightly bigger space for eating in. The service was not bad, but definitely not something I would rave about. Loved the oatmeal and the option to add protein. Fresh and tasty!“

“I tried the food for the 1st ever and OMG. I got the small plate, 1 protein, 1 grain and 2 sides. It was so delicious and filling. The smoothies are great and juices. I highly recommend trying this place out.It was just remodeled and super clean.“

“Primarily a Mexican snack bar, highly recommended for a quick lunch. The atmosphere is also quite funny. We actually went there twice during our stay in NYC.We can't say anything about the shop with nutritional supplements for fitness.“

“Food tastes AMAZING! And what makes it even better? It's healthy! I usually eat junk, fast food, and just have had unhealthy eating habits, but locanut makes it easy, everything in their menu is super healthy. Thanks for getting me back on track to a healthy lifestyle :)“

“Mucho Mango bowl is fantastic. Tried it for the first time and kept me coming back for more. I also really liked the blueberry granola they add into the bowl. Decor is cool feels like a tropical vibe. Fast friendly service had me in & out. Looking forward to trying their other bowls & smoothies.“

“Been going here for the better part of five years and this is the best Just Salad on the upper west side.Big shutouts to Kashif and Gabriella because they take care of their customers from start to finish with great conversations along the way.“

“Me and my crew been coming here for a while . Food is good. Greens are all fresh , But what makes us come back is Maouloud , this gentleman has positive energy all the time and adds vibrance to the store, makes your ordinary salad not boring and had best suggestions.“

“The chicken and rice bowl was great with substantial portions. Flavors were en pointe too. I’m going to keep ordering from Springbone and try their other bowls and the broths. Staff was really nice and they swiftly prepared my food. I like the quaint store too with a windowsill. Nice to have them in the neighborhood.“

“We ate there regularly during our stay in NY.The service is very friendly and the food is fresh and delicious!We had the best breakfast rolls (special offer) of our lives there: At Mc D it would be the Egg Mc Muffin with bacon.The seating area upstairs was ok, but not very inviting. More is possible here!“

“Located on 3rd Avenue and 93rd, this store has been around for many, many, years. It's a real neighborhood gem. They are doing the best they can now, but I encourage it's new and established customers to purchase as many items there as they need. Raj, the manager is highly knowledgeable about the products, He knows his customers and caters to us. He is kind and generous and has given special attention to customers in the neighborhood. He visited my friend in the hospital after a major operation, with treats. Food For Health sells a vast variety of items including organic veggies, coffee, tea, dried and canned goods, dairy, smoothies, fresh peanut butter, frozen meals, snacks, spices, vitamins, etc, etc., etc.“

“My first time visiting just salad and had an amazing experience. I usually avoid places where you can create your own cause I don’t know the choices but Tivo did an amazing job walking me through the process and making sure I was able to create a delicious meal. He’s super sweet and wrote nice things on my bowl. It felt really nice having such a positive experience after a long day at work. Will definitely be visiting this location more!“

“Clean, healthy, tasty, and well portioned meals - they don't skimp on the premium protein like most of their competitors. The staff are all very sweet and accommodating, the restaurant is always clean, and the energy is peaceful. Thank you Honeybrain employees!“

“We arrived without notice last Sunday with a group of 20. The staff were extremely accommodating! They were friendly and so nice to our group (high school students). The service was fast! I was impressed considering they put together the food! I had a delicious toast moz and prosciutto with a bag of chips and a speciality soda for around $20. Good luck if you think you can bet this service and prices!! I wish there were more chairs and seating area, but we made it work and bonus! The bathroom was clean!“

“I get a variety of different things. But usually, for me, it's always the same. Want I don't like it when getting those same items daily, The price changes via throughout the day or daily. I will cut back on going to this store. I totally understand prices going up and changing due to the economy, but this throughout the day or daily thing or weekly no. Not having it. Like you guys, but taking a break.“

“I used to go to sweetgreens but switched to Just Salad for about a million reasons, and I'm glad I did! They're efficient, and whether you use the app or go through the line, you won't get all frustrated, like, "why is this taking so long??" because it never does, even when there's a line out the door!Their food is always fresh, and there's really no bad ingredients - everything is good, so go ahead and get crazy with it!But the thing that really sets them apart is the staff. I order from here 3-5 times per week, and everybody is so cool and nice! If you're having a bad day, and losing faith in your fellow man, just order from Just Salads at 90 Broad - I promise, it will lift your spirits. And I'm not even exaggerating. And I get it - what really matters is the food, and trust me it'll be fresh. But the interactions you'll have there with the nicest people in FiDi - that matters too! I promise.“

“Came in on a Friday evening. It was quiet at that hour, but that was fine with me, as I didn't have to deal with the rush hour crowd. The venue is spacious and has plenty of tables and booths for seating. The guy working behind the counter was quite friendly. I got a Choco Dream smoothie and the Poké bowl with salmon+tuna as my protein and brown rice as my base (the alternative was quinoa, but he recommended the rice).“

“I so love it here! Prices are very reasonable. Staff is helpful, courteous and very accommodating. If they don't have what you need, ask them, and they will order for you. I shop here for groceries, spices, grains, nuts, health, beauty and wellness products. Thank you, Dual Specialty!“

“GENUINELY MY FAVORITE AÇAÍ BOWL EVER. like holy cow this place is incredible and the lady at the front was so so so sweet. definitely give this place a try!!! so many options, flavors, and i loved the ordering computer so i could really personalize my bowl.“

“I love ordering take-out and going to eat at Bryant Park, excellent choice of healthy, fresh food at a great price. Their staff is super friendly and clarifies all your doubts regarding special dietary options. I'm gluten intolerant and they have the most gluten free options in the area. I will be back soon and hope to order one of their healthy caterings for my birthday!Dietary restrictions: So many Gluten free options!!“

“Love Springbone. Someone I know also Gluten-Free and clean eater mentioned SB to me a long time ago and honestly I forgot the name and all about it. Since I found it, it has become a staple in my life. I like to cook but Springbone gives me an enjoyable and delicious break from it, knowing that they care about the same things as me and do it so wonderfully. Thank you SB“

“These guys heard it was hard to get authentic Mexican food in the city and they were like, “bet.” First time I ate here, I wept. The second time, I left a better man. I can’t recommend this place enough, I go here now whenever I need some soul searching.“

“A bit hard to find initially but easy to get to once you figure out where it is. The store was empty, had to wait five-ten minutes for a worker to appear. I got the Blue Magik, aside from noticeably unblended banana chunks, I enjoyed the smoothie.“

“So nice to be able to get quality organic food that included meats. The price point was also very reasonable and the seating was comfortable. Everyone was kind. They even offered us samples of the soup.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free / Carnivore“

“I know this is a Dig and as usual, their food is good, but I'd like to mention that their portions were good. Sometimes you go to a fast-slow-health-food chain and you're not sure what to expect (portion size, price, quality). This was a standard quality, all around great lunch. I arrived in the late afternoon and there was no line and the food was still fresh. If you love mac n cheese, their version never disappoints. Came hungry and left full.“

“Lived right around the block, and frequented this family-run establishment for decades. (Village Yogurt/Green Symphony) Wonderful food, wonderful owners, wonderful staff. I understand that the parents have retired, but I feel their friendly presence, still. Best Vegetable Dumplings, ever, IMHO.“

“This DIG is top class and quality control is on point. Most of all the people are kind and take great care of me daily - if I’m local I go every day. I’ve gotten to know them by name and they’ve become friends. Jasmine and Andy run a great location and Stacie, Princess, Jasmine, Denise, Erica, Eddie all make it the best place. Today they ran out of faroh and Princess quickly jumped in to help to make it fresh. This is the best lunch spot in Manhattan.“

“This Playa Bowls is inside a gym which is inside an apartment building. Five floors up or an elevator ride up, then pass by a front desk and some mire walk. It is pricey but worth it. Portions are huge so you either should be hungry or share it. Staff is helpful.“

“The weather is heating up, today 80 degrees, which in my book is Salad for lunch, weather. I was in the mood for a Caesar salad and a green juice ( large lunch equals just snacking for dinner). I ordered delivery and it was promptly delivered, packed safely except the juice was on its side but the plastic lid was secure. The pressed green juice was fresh and delicious; my favorite combination of spinach, kale, pineapple and ginger. The perfect juice for a hot day. The Chicken Caesar salad was good just needed a dressing with more pizzazz. I enjoy a creamier dressing when eating Caesar Salad. I received a $5 promo on my first order. Just Salad also offers wraps, bowls and plant based smoothies. The one near my job is located in Greenwich Village on Hudson Street. I see myself ordering a lot of salads as summer fast approaches and will visit their Village location.“
