Health Food Restaurants near East Elmhurst, NY

“This is a small deli at LaGuardia Airport that has basic airport foods. They sell drinks, packaged sandwiches, yogurt, water, chips, etc. I'm not seeing anything healthy per se, just the regular drinks and food found at airports. They are open early and easy to shop.“

“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!“

“Truly an excellent place to get a great meal, served by friendly and competent people. More like a family than workers; my lovely server was kind enough to make me a personal smoothie to accommodate my very picky palate, and she never stopped smiling.“

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

“I love the dekalb ave sandwich. It’s a decent size, filling but not heavy, and it doesn’t make me feel sluggish after eating. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The sandwich is well balanced and the turmeric roll is the cherry on top.

I love getting it with a latte but today the espresso machine was broken so I settled for a cafe au lait (half coffee, half milk). I love the lattes but I was not a fan of the reg brew coffee. It had a weird aftertaste to it and I just couldn’t finish it. I most definitely will not be ordering it again.

Customer service here is top tier!! The employees are super friendly but there’s sometimes a wait when it gets busy in the morning. The person on the register is also the barista, as well as the person that packages the food for pick up which creates a wait. It would be great if they could increase their staffing to eliminate the wait time because it’s an inconvenience at times.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Going to Playa Bowls is a seamless experience: order through the app and pick up my item upon arrival.

Parking: The only parking available is metered parking but most times it’s challenging finding any - free or metered - parking; unless. You go very early.“

“The food is delicious and fresh!“

“great salad and smoothie but even better service. Angel and John were helpful, know the menu and made recommendations as this was my first time. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend. clifton NJ location..“

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

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Acai bowls and fresh smoothies are the best!!!“

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

“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.

“The ONLY healthy stop on my vacation in NY! LOL, and no regrets. I visited this location 2x (Nov.25 & 26)while i was here, and I highly recommend you pay this location a visit of you are around the area or visiting NY. I loved the elderberry shot. The much Mango and something I wouldn't typically buy was the beach break. Luckily, I was able to bring one of the elderberry shots on the plane with me! Staff was amazing and hardworking.“

“Nice low key place, very good service 🤩“

“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!!!“

“I gave been to playa bowl over 10 times and my experience today was not good. The staff today was not very welcoming. If the owners were there today when I went they sure were not friendly. I told the cashier no coconuts and they put some in, then she says you want a lid and I said well yea, it’s to go. She didn’t even put them in a bag. I always buy the Nutella one and I always buy 2. All the other times I had no problems great staff and friendly.“

“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!“

“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.“

“great salad and smoothie but even better service. Angel and John were helpful, know the menu and made recommendations as this was my first time. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend. clifton NJ location..“

“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.“

“Amazing, clean food. Amazing vibe. A favorite in NYC. I could eat Inday everyday!“

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

“I had their bbq burger and it was delicious. Next time I'll call ahead as opposed to dropping in since the wait time wasn't short. The place is nice, but people mostly order pick up or to go. I've never seen people just eating there, which is a shame since it's a nice spot and great location.

Parking: Limited street parking, but you may get lucky“

“Excellent staff... A great place to sit for awhile and enjoy...“

“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.“

“No seats at this location, but anything else is always my favorite fruit bowl place!

🩵🥥💖 The winter special coconut bowl was sooooo good! Highly recommend if u see this during winter! It was “fluffy,” moist, thick and creamy.

Vegetarian options: Fruit bowls, açaí bowls“

“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.“

“High quality ingredient, friendly service, creative dishes, healthy MENU, delicious and they’ll customize every dish to your liking. I don’t know how you could say anything bad about mood food. The price is good considering the quality of ingredients. We are so lucky to have this place. It’s the only good place in the entire area!!! It’s healthy for healthy lifestyle and tastes incredible and fresh and thoughtful. I’m so grateful for this place. It’s really really delicious! Their brownie is unbelievable. YUM. Also had gestational diabetes and this place really helped me balance sugar. It’s really a special place.“

“One of my favorite neighborhood spots for the last 13 years. It's changed names a few times, but the food is incredibly consistent. . . the #6 combination fantasy is a perfect balance of brown rice, steamed veggies and delicate veggie dumplings. It's a meal that makes you feel good! My only frustration is that say they close at 8:30PM, but they make it clear they want you out closer to 8:00!“

“Great prices fantastic service“

“So tasty and fresh smoothie was so tasty and the salad was sooo good.“

“I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding customer service I received from CookUnity. I faced a difficult time due to a very recent death in my family, which made it challenging for me to manage my subscription. When I reached out for assistance, the representative GIRO was incredibly understanding and compassionate. GIRO not only processed my refund but did so with such kindness that it truly touched my heart.

This experience has shown me that CookUnity genuinely cares about its customers, especially during tough times. Thank you for your support; it made a significant difference for me. I highly recommend CookUnity not only for their delicious meals but also for their exceptional customer service! THANK YOU GIRO!!!“

“Tiger bone and roots! Beets and celery“

“Our son first shared ARCO with us several years ago. We always make sure to stop by for delicious food, friendly people, warm atmosphere, and very reasonably priced food. The owners and staff are very dedicated to your enjoyment!“

“I was thrilled when I heard they were opening in Bayside. HEALTHY and fresh food! Clean place! Laura is always so helpful and friendly!! The reusable bowls(you get a free topping when you bring your bowl) are the best deal and great for the environment! I will continue to be a regular for sure!“

“great salad and smoothie but even better service. Angel and John were helpful, know the menu and made recommendations as this was my first time. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend. clifton NJ location..“

“Everything is amazing. ❤️❤️“

“Best bowl I’ve ever had! The guy that works there fills it up to the capacity so it’s worth ever dollar. I did the build your own with mango as the base and added kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and granola. Highly recommend this location it’s inside a great gym as well!“
