50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Palisades Park

“My absolute favorite place!“

“Hands down my favorite Korean Fried Chicken joint in New Jersey. The Pelicana at PP delivers the most consistent sauce flavor and portion size among all other KFC places in my opinion. In addition, they always run promos which significantly helps the wallet. I’ve never eaten at the restaurant but it has the typical KFC vibes, fun, good music, with plenty of booze. About to place my weekly order here!“

“The Nagasaki Champon is our new favorite. My wife and I had a very pleasant Sunday dinner. Haven’t had a meal this good in a long time. We were supposed to have dinner here some few weeks ago but the Fort Lee-Pal Park traffic congestion gets really bad. Last time we were here was in 2021!!. Now we can’t wait to go back. We also had the Salmon Roll and Yakitori Chicken, Pork, Beef and Mushroom wrapped in Bacon.“

“Excellent food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered the Vegtable beef stew and Spicy squid hot pot. Everything was fresh and served quickly. Came three times in 2 weeks thats how much i loved this place. The owner is very kind and friendly as well. Also BYOB, which is a plus!“

“Appreciation post😃 Since 4 days my freshly turned teenage daughter has been saying one thing when I ask her what you want to do on New Year’s Eve …” I want to have kudos bubble tea as the last thing I drink in 2022”. It’s been a tough few months for her and i wanted to make sure she gets her wish. So yesterday morning I called kudos. Asked when they will close for the day. They said 10pm. We scheduled all our plans in such a way that at 9pm we go and get the much anticipated bubble tea. At 9 my husband, son and daughter headed out to kudos… only to find that they have closed at 7 for a private event. This is my back story. On the other side of the story… which probably has its own back story… Cherie the owner had shut the bakery as her daughter wanted to celebrate with her friends and family. As a mother myself I can totally understand that. When she saw my family she informed them that they are closed. But when she heard we had called in morning and saw my daughters dejected face… she opened her doors. Made a quick bubble tea and even gave some extra cookies as a New Years treat. My kids came back so happy saying “mommy it was a holiday miracle!” Thank you Kudo Society Cafe. For providing us one last 2022 miracle. Thank you Cherie for understanding. We have been Kudos patrons since it was at palisades park but now we are die hard advocating neighbors of yours. Ps: pic of the cookie treat. My son ate the red velvet on way home.“

“Best place for Bingsoo!!!! 🥰🥰🥰“

“I ordered it for delivery a few times, and the taste of the sauce and seasoning were just right for my taste, so I plan to order it again.

-What I liked the most were Nanjawans and Yoo Sanseul. The Yusanseul was delicious as it came out exactly as I expected, and the Nanjawanse was a bit perplexed by its appearance as the individual pieces of meat were more round-shaped than I expected, but the sticky meat inside and soft texture on the outside went well with the sauce. I enjoyed it.
-I didn't enjoy the Jjajangmyeon and Kkanpunggi as much as I did, but since I live about an hour away from delivery, I think there was nothing I could do physically to prevent the noodles from going bad or the batter from becoming mushy.“

“Fantastic food, reasonable prices, excellent service. PS Kitchen sets the standard for manhattan eateries with a conscience and a heart … and the creativity of an experiential culinary artist. The vibe is great. The food is better. Highly recommend“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“This is hands-down one of the best Italian spots in New York City — and one I make sure to visit every time I’m here. Everything on the menu is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented, but the Cacio e Pepe pasta is the real standout. The sauce is creamy and rich with just the right amount of black pepper!“

“Had the recommendation from the Off Menu Podcast. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing ramen.“

“Very impressed since they was decorating the place. I was passing by every day till they finally open and I desire to try the food, I was curious and also I’m not a vegan person. When I finally try that food I just got in shock. Super tasty, delicious, the Trinidad and Dominican Republic flavors- was so down the earth. So thankful to have them at the neighborhood, the service is excellent and Yesenia and her employees super professionals. The ambiance and decoration soo relaxing- I love the food and the service, how they welcome you, is hard to find a place like that. Highly recommended to everyone- vegan or not vegan- 🥗 the talent is there and I wish them success- nice location, sparkling clean - if you are looking for good food - this is your spot-“

“Excellent service and food“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Japanese Italian fusion? Something I obviously had to try!
I appreciate Kimika’s creative menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Our waitress Kara/Cara was so friendly and helpful. I started with a Spritz that I think could’ve used some more bubbles, but the flavors were on point. The food was good but I felt like there could’ve been a bit more flavor. We tried the Truffle Carbonara, Soy Butter Bigoli, and Eggplant Katsu - I think the Bigoli was my favorite (think elevated lo mien). For dessert, we tried the lava cake, matcha French toast (would get it with ice cream if I were to over come again) and the Nutella Bombolocini (very creative - think mochi stuffed with Nutella).
Overall, I loved the concept of Kimika and the service, but I think there could’ve been just a tad more flavor in some of our dishes. Definitely a place to try once!“

“Highly recommended for vegans ❤️“

“very good food excellent service great bbq fj“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Exquisite food, atmosphere, and experience. 10/10 must try!!“

“This place transports me to childhood meals with my family - only vegan. I don’t know how they work their magic on these flavors and textures that make them so authentic and wildly delicious - but I’m glad they do. I stay in Chelsea every time I’m in NYC so I can grab a meal here. The service is friendly, the drinks are interesting and tasty, and the interior is gorgeous. Love this place.“

“amazing place, we have a great dinner. thank you.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.“

“I've eaten a LOT of pancakes over the years -- I think I lost count at the age of 5 or so. Some of those pancakes have been just OK, and some of them have been pretty good -- even great on occasion.

However, when my wife and I were in NYC a couple weekends ago to visit our daughter, I experienced something new:

The BEST pancake of my life.

I don't know exactly how Chloe figured out how to accomplish this feat -- especially for a vegan pancake -- and I don't really care. All I know is if I lived in NYC, I would be eating that stack of cinnamon swirl pancakes -- slathered in maple butter and syrup -- at least once EVERY weekend, maybe twice.

They are that good.

Chloe had an iced maple walnut coffee thing on the menu too, and it was amazing. Next trip to NYC, my wife and daughter and I will be setting up camp at Chloe. And if they're lucky, we might even invite some of our daughter's friends.“

“A fully vegan Korean restaurant situated right in the heart of Manhattan?! My west coast heart is pounding in jealousy and longing to return once again. It's often very hard to find restaurants that serve fully vegan Korean food so the fact that this exists is truly special. A lot of items will be vegetarian at best so to be able to have an extensive menu to order from is a treat. My friends and I came here for lunch and were seated fairly quickly in their hip restaurant. I ordered a couple of things: - Combination Pancakes consisting of sweet corn cilantro, scallion & spicy kimchi offerings. This was their take on traditional Korean jeon and I didn't realize they'd bring out so many small pieces for the table. My favorite was definitely the sweet corn cilantro. - Crispy Korean Chili Tofu Lunch Special, which included a soup and salad of the day as well as two additional banchan (including a pancake!) The tofu was fried to sweet perfection and the chili sauce was top notch. There ended up being more than enough food just from this alone. I hope this spot sticks around because I'll certainly be coming back to fill my Korean cravings without needing to play around with the menu at other restaurants.

“service was awesome, very attentive and very fast. The food was delicious 😋“

“Fine dining with a flair was on offer and thoroughly enjoyed by all. There isn't much more to say. Experience it for yourself!“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“Homey ambience. Smiling service. Flowing wine (if you get the pairing.

By any regular metric, this is a 5/5. Unfortunately, this is New York. More unfortunately, they have a Michelin star. Thus, they must be judged within the strata in which they belong.

The ingredients were FRESH. This is their calling card. The carrots, the squash, the beets, the buckwheat. Kudos to their souring.

The meal is an imbalanced (to me and my table). We were craving protein, and this place highlights the produce. I will say the tastiest dish was a non meat course (mushrooms in a dashi broth)

Not top of my list, but massive respect to what they serve and what they represent.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“This is an AHHHHMAZING place to eat! Huge, delicious menu and it's so great when I can get my faves and know the food is being made by people who care about the animal we share our planet with. Thank you for being vegan, Spicy Moon!!❤️❤️💯“

“Without question, my favorite vegan restaurant in NYC! The drinks, food, and desserts are all equally delightful. The portions are huge and an excellent value. Very thankful to have access to such masterfully created nutritious and delicious food.“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“Never disappoints. Excellent food. Always packed“

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“I am so happy that they have an SOS menu. It was great to be able to relax and know that the kitchen welcomes my dietary preference. Thank you!

It seems that nearly everything is prepared to order, and as a result if coming here you should be prepared to possibly wait longer than most restaurants for your food to be ready.
I do wish there was a way for the restaurant to communicate this to avoid problems with new customers who may be expecting quicker service.“

“We are so thankful to have Candle right by our apt!! Their Black Bean Quinoa burgers and Chickpea Burgers are amazing-we order them 2x a week!! Great soups, great kind staff, just overall a great neighborhood gem.“

“Amazing! 😋 The attention to detail and service to clients is above and beyond. The food 🍽 variety, options, and taste are exceptional. This place is an absolute gem among so many options in NYC Vegan Grill is top tier and I highly recommend 👌🏻. One of the most recommended vegan places when visiting NYC' upper east side. ENJOY! 🍽 🍛 😋“

“me and my sisters all got a diff sandwich and we LOVEDDD all of them. we also got to try the banana milkshake and wow the food here is just not compromising on flavor. 1000000% recommend. if you’re vegan in nyc and don’t go here i’m disappointed in you Updated from previous review on 2026-02-02“

“The service was absolutely fantastic. We were a group of 7 and were completely taken care of all night. We were probably the loudest group in the restaurant which we had to quiet ourselves sometimes, but no one ever said nothing or batted an eye and we were treated like gold. Highly recommend this location as the staff was awesome and food delicious. Would gladly come back.“

“absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“My friend had heard of this restaurant before and had never gone, so when we spontaneously came across it after a trip to McSorley’s, we had to experience this mushroom-inspired restaurant. We were a little nervous it would be TOO mushroomy, but it wasn’t at all and was a truly incredible experience. The ambiance is impeccable and the food was so innovative with many fun (but well-balanced) flavors. We had the ramen, millet feuille, and ravioli followed by the lava cake. The ramen and lava cake were especially good but we loved everything. Highly recommend for a creative meal out with friends or a romantic date night — don’t hesitate, just go!“

“Oxomoco nails the balance: high-quality, adventurous Mexican food in a relaxed but stylish setting, topped off with great service and a bathroom that might just become the highlight of your day. Whether you’re there for a special day or just a fun trip with friends, this place delivers — and then surprises you, in the best way.“
