Health Food Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“Great food here. I come here pretty often during the day time for acai bowls and they're always A+. The staff is very kind and they prepare the food in a timely manner. I'd recommend this place to anyone in Astoria looking for an acai bowl.“

“They are EXPENSIVE! Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, the food is decent and customer service is usually fine. I like their salads because they're hearty.

Update September 2022: Their chicken noodle soup is super bland. Coming from a sancocho and flavored soups family, it’s just not my thing.

Updated August 2025: I have now visited this location more times than I can proudly say😁. When anyone walks in, they are greeted by the workers which improves the overall experience. I have been getting salads, smoothies, soups, sandwiches and even plates of brown rice with salmon for the last few years and I can say that everything tastes delish. The soups have definitely improved since I last reviewed them and they have so many more options than I recall them having before. I would recommend this place any day of the week.“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“I ordered ahead and picked up my Chicken Tikka Masala Bowl for lunch, which was really quick and convenient. The bowl itself was priced pretty standard and in line with other fast casual spots nearby so I don’t mind. The food was so so flavorful and honestly amazing compared to my usual bland rotation of salads and other bowls. Great textures, protein amount, and will be adding this into my usual rotation for sure!“

“Impecable el ambiente y la atención. Los bowls son súper recomendables! No se lo pierdan!“

“I just wanted to take a moment to shout out Tyasha for her amazing work at Just Salad Every time I visit, she greets customers with a warm smile and a positive attitude that makes the experience even better. She’s hardworking, professional, and truly cares about making people feel welcome. It’s clear that she takes pride in what she does, and it makes a big difference. Just Salad is lucky to have someone like her on the team.“

“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!“

“This cafe is really nice. Service is friendly and efficient. The space is relaxed and with ample seating. The tea was nice. I sat there for an hour on a call I needed to take and no one bothered me. They also filled up my water bottle for me before I left on my bike. 🫡“

“Stop Eating Junk food and spend a few extra dollars and eat Healthy“

“I wish I could write another review! This playa bowl is amazing want to give a shot out to Wajid, he is amazing friendly and always makes me feel welcomed 🙏🏽. Older review ->.I went to the playa bowl location on 36 street in NYC on Sunday June 15th. Despite that the AC was not working and it was a hot summer day. The employees were friendly, attentive, and personable. I do not remember the name of the person who take my order but he was great. He even took the time to bring me my smoothie. He went above and beyond. I highly recommend this location and playa bowl in general. Haven’t been disappointed in any of there smoothies or bowls.“

“This has to be the Best Smoothie I’ve had in while thanks to Jose aka Jp. l found him very helpful, loved how he took his time to explain the product’s that would help benefit my needs. Five stars truly isn’t enough for the amazing customer service he offered.“

“The food is delicious and fresh!“

“We have all the options where I live and every time I get Just Salad I wonder why I eat anywhere else. So many fresh dressing to choose from.“

“This restaurant is a very clean friendly neighborhood place, where everyone feels welcome and the food is good and the prices are reasonable.“

“Nice low key place, very good service 🤩“

“A wide selection of Asai (and other based) bowls. Endless combinations of fruit with added garnishments. Reading the founders story and appreciating the immersive design of the location you can almost feel like you escaped from 2nd avenue off to a warm sunny beach elsewhere. Enjoy surfing the flavors of your bowl, there is no need for sunscreen and you won't need to clean up any sand before you get back home. There is an additional seating space to and a restroom inside. The servings are bigger than your average Asai bowl (may be enough for 2) but the prices are also relatively high.“

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“healthy options, clean restroom, friendly staff, delicious breakfast“

“Did you guys reduce your portions?!?! My food seems a little light.“

“Des produits frais et sains, un décor au top Hawaï a Panam, service haut level merci infiniment et à très bientôt.“

“ThisBowl is like a boujee Sweetgreen. I can't even believe those words are leaving my lips, but here we are.

I wanted something clean and healthy after a mediocre workout, and had been recommended this place by a few trusted sources. I walked up at 7:52pm and was shocked when I was met with a line out the door. I was even more shocked when I opened the door and felt like I had just entered a wormhole to Beverly Hills.

It felt like a designer clothing store more than a restaurant: House music thumping, expensive art on the walls, and beautiful people draped in Artizia Puffers, Dover Street Market Hoodies, Arcteryx Beanies, baggy jeans paired with Jordan 4s, etc. Like who are y'all in here trying to see lmao.

I, in my zip up Kirkland hoodie, got to the front and ordered the Braised Beef bowl ($17) which consisted of braised beef, kale, cucumber, sweet potato, red onion, tamari ponzu, wasabi mayo drizzle, and umami nut crunch. It's sad that $17 is essentially the market price for a good fast casual bowl these days, but such is life. It's an evil world we live in.

I'm beast so I opted for double protein, but felt like I took a spinning back kick to the ribs from Jon Jones when it rang up for an extra $8. I should have told them to cancel it, but I'm really shy and insecure so I tapped that apple pay like the good little boy I am. $8 for some extra beef is NASTY WORK.

In fairness, this bowl was DELICIOUS and that extra beef was a true mound of beef. The sticky rice paired so well with the beef, kale, and sweet potatoes. I mf love sticky rice. But at the end of the day, that extra $8 was just pain. Pain everywhere.

Sadly, I'm a masochist so I'll 1000% be back. Just no extra beef for me anymore smh.

“I cannot say enough good things about the Sea Moss Factory and Lisa herself. What an incredible person, owner and product. I had been wanting to try seamoss for the longest time, and when I was feeling under the weather, just ahead of my birthday earlier this year, I said, let me find a local place to support. And up came the Sea Moss Factory in Hackensack. Lisa hooked me
up, gave me what I needed to feel better, including ginger shots that literally got me better before my birthday trip. I have been hooked ever since. Not to mention she has gone above and beyond to get me what I needed when my husband was sick with Covid. I am a loyal customer and recommend her highly! Thank you Lisa! Wishing you all the success in the world“

“Playa Bowl is my favorite meal in the world. I always get the power açai and I substitute it with plant protein. The staff at every location are always awesome. Smoothies, oatmeal, açai, pitaya & coffee. Started in New Jersey in 2014 and is sweeping the nation.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Just Salad! The food was fresh and perfectly customizable to my preferences. But what really stood out was the amazing service from Gabi. She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome. It’s clear she goes above and beyond to ensure customers have a great experience. Thanks to her, I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“The name of the place is true. Healthy and fresh. The fruits and vegetables are fresh, the place is spotless. The people there are smart about the menu and friendly. Service is quick. They’re polite and forward with handling Bronx customers. Everything I order I’m so happy with. I’ve gotten Salads, Smoothies, Juices and I’m always pleased. Today I got a Toasted corn muffin with butter and that was sooo yummy. They have seating. The prices are on point for top quality food and service.“

“Amazing vibes, I’m always going back to try new things.
not very good customer service though — cannot get through online and have had some bad experiences with over charging and mess ups on the store’s or app’s part.

Dietary restrictions: There are a lot of juts involved in the store and products.“

“sin duda una Rica ensalada, un lugar muy limpio, el personal muy amable, atención de 10. volveré....“

“Great smoothies! The customer service is good I’m only rating it 4 stars because they don’t tell their customers to sign up for their rewards system which I would’ve liked to know directly from the store and not from a stranger off the street.“

“FRESH FRUIT BOWLS, clean , fast if your on the run. I was in and out 7 min and thats because it took me 2 minutes to make my choice.... got my favorite bowl, the GOJI Pitaya bowl... had the spoon and napkins placed in the paperbag, maybe something the Hackensack spot should take into concideration... will visit THIS spot more often... young lady behind the counter was very pleasant aswell... thank you

“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!!!“

“DELICIOUS and fresh. The family that runs this place takes care of their customers. This place is not to be missed for a casual stopover or a sit down, unfold some books or work, and get after it. Full coffee bar with teas and specialty beverages. Honey-themed everything… clever.“

“Great prices fantastic service“

“Here's a heartfelt review you can use: From the moment we walked in, we were embraced with warmth and kindness that made us feel like family. The atmosphere of this intimate establishment was not only beautiful, but thoughtfully curated with an eye for detail that didn’t go unnoticed. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every bite bursting with flavor and made with love. The hospitality, professionalism, and sincere attentiveness of the staff was unmatched. We were served with such dignity and care, it truly touched our hearts. This place deserves more than five stars—I'm giving it a full 10! A gem of an experience we won’t soon forget.“

“We have all the options where I live and every time I get Just Salad I wonder why I eat anywhere else. So many fresh dressing to choose from.“

“I usually go for the smoothies and health shots (which are A1!! - the freshest and healthiest smoothies I’ve ever had). Today I ordered a hot plate (grilled chicken, brown rice and black beans, purple cabbage, and plantains).. OMG! Lol. I had no clue the food was as good as it was. I HIGHLY recommend! EVERYTHING is good.“

“Fudgarten is a fabulous restaurant. Ate there yesterday for the first time and loved their salad. I only buy organic and know how expensive organic products are. Fudgarten is organic so I couldn't believe how inexpensive they are being an organic restaurant.“
