40 Best Vegan Restaurants in Long Island City

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“NYC typically rivals the Chinese food you can find in the Bay Area and Hupo certainly helps that case. Focusing on Sichuan style cuisine, Hupo has a wide array of entrees and bites that will leave you full and wanting to come back for more. They certainly do deserve their Bib Gourmand. We had a reservation for 5 set for dinner and were glad we did so as the place was very busy when we arrived. The interior is clean and simple with no frills. Once seated we were informed that they only have digital menus through a QR code which was a bit difficult to navigate with 2 out of the 5 of us being older and not as tech savvy but we figured it out anyways.

We ordered a few different entrees and split them family style so we’ll go over them generally. Side note: although many of the dishes are noted as being spicy you can request that they be made without any spice. For dim sum/appetizers we ordered the scallion pancakes and pork soup dumplings. The scallion pancakes were okay, nothing special about them but the pork soup dumplings were a bit better with a tasty broth inside and nice chewy dumplings. For entrees we got duck fried rice, braised beef noodle soup, beef with broccoli, and dan dan noodles.

The duck fried rice was very good. Many places opt to use day-old rice for fried rice and you can often tell by the texture, but if they do that here then we were fooled because the rice tastes fresh and the duck was perfect. The braised beef noodle soup was also good, not the best we’ve had, but still good with the beef having a nice texture and the broth being rich. The beef with broccoli was great, the beef velvetized and delicious, the broccoli, well, broccoli. Lastly, the dan dan noodles were fantastic. The noodles were cooked perfect, the minced beef very delicious, and the bok choy tasty as well. As it is food wise, Hupo is a standout, particularly in the Western Queens area, the only knock being its service is a bit iffy with the workers being not too warm but for the meal you get, we’re willing to shut up and just eat. A fantastic restaurant all around!“

“Delish!! Excellent Bloody Mary’s!!“

“We had an amazing dinner here after stopping in to the nearby sculpture museum (also very cool). Good frozen cocktails, fantastic tacos and everyone on staff was kind, accommodating and quick! They had little hats for the kids which were so cute, and strong AC inside. Great place for a summer dinner out!“

“If You’re in the area, it’s a good hangout place. It’s good to watch games and/or have a good meal. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“Love this place! Excellent service, great food, wonderful environment! I’m going back. Love the moctels!!!!Great experience!“

“Yesterday, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, we brought our parents and children to have a meal together. We usually go to Flushing for hot pot, but we didn't expect such a good hot pot so close to LIC. There are many special dishes, all of which taste good. The bell shrimp slider and egg yolk shrimp slider are both good. The medium spicy base is just right. I will try the spiciest one next time.

But what makes me come back is the great service. The person who served our table was Tao, who was very attentive and provided us with soup and vegetables in a timely manner. One time, the soup accidentally spilled. They quickly replaced us with a new pot of soup and replenished various dishes. Before leaving, we were even allowed to taste the homemade soy milk in the store. Not because of these dishes, but because it can be seen from these actions that Tao really cares. He takes care of our family with intention. He hopes that we can eat happily and not be unhappy because of accidents. He only observes such subtle things out of kindness. , the service is so attentive. This kind of service is no longer common in fast-paced hot pot restaurants, and I hope that this original intention can be maintained. Thank you Tao for giving us the opportunity to take our children and parents to enjoy this wonderful experience. We will come back for food soon. I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

In addition, the ladies and gentlemen in all the stores are very friendly. When passing by, they will subconsciously check the table to see if there is anyone who needs service. They will also say hello and say thank you for coming. It feels very friendly, like home away from home.

Thank you for your delicious food and beautiful hearts.

Kid-friendliness: It would be better to prepare some small children's plates instead of plastic boxes“

“If i could give this place more than five stars i would ! food is phenomenal , staff are amazing . Pictures to follow“

“My Most Favorite Food ! Super deluxe bistro-fare styled food & beverage menu. Great wholesome desserts ! Popular for private meetings, dates, and family gatherings year-round. Super managerial staffing. Warm, open, friendly environment that's cozy in Winter and cooler in Summer ! With a slightly uppercut atmosphere and panache.Permanently closed on January 7, 2022.“

“We are regular customers of CARLA. The food is consistently delicious. There’s something for everyone here (one of us is vegetarian and the other is not. Plenty of options for all.) It never disappoints. The staff (especially Lisa and Pablo) are always welcoming, attentive, and eager to make sure our dining experience is outstanding. CARLA is a little gem. Don’t miss out! P&G“

“This is a great spot for a quick French dessert or sandwich takeout! My only minor gripe is that they often sell out of their best sandwich options early, leaving the same limited selection available in the afternoons. I’m no expert, but wouldn’t it make sense to prepare more of their best sellers and fewer of the sandwiches that consistently go unsold?“

“Excellent find along Vernon Blvd in LIC. Had ice coffee and delicious chocolate chip cookie. Looking around see very fresh looking salads and sandwiches being served and enjoyed by patrons. Great variety of muffins, cakes & croissants. All moderately priced. Wish there were more places like this.“

“I was here a couple weeks ago. Very welcoming and friendly. I came here by myself sat at the bar. The attention to detail was there, the bartender was great with information on Japanese whiskey and cocktails. The dessert was blew my tastes bud away.“

“My husband and I have eaten here twice: both times we’ve enjoyed delicious pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, and desserts. The staff are attentive and kind without hovering. Most recently, a couple and their young son were having dinner too. Beebe’s is a great choice for so many different people and families.“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“Yummy yummy Good service Nice place“

“Very simple place with some stools and a counter but if you live in the neighborhood just take it to go. I can’t confirm they always do this but when I ordered the guy in the back stated slapping some noodles and made my meals to order. The noodles were nice and chewy, the sauce was spicy with a bit of good depth (not overly complex but also not too simple). There was just the right amount of pork meat that was tender enough to break into strips to make eating a little less messy. One of the best things is my dish was 13 bucks. Which is a nice price for a good meal. They are also a chain with one in mid town Manhattan that I’ve been to and the lamb cumin noodles were also great. Hard to go wrong with fresh pulled noodles that is kind to your wallet.“

“So - I really like Taim, because the flavors are good. Even if you messed up on what to add (which can be very confusing at times), it still taste good. I had ordered lunch on the app, and did notice that it took considerably longer... but the staff is not slowing down, they are urgently filling orders and the cashier / person filling the ubers and all orders is very active and driven.

I wish for their app or menu, a taste description is there for some of the items. Though, I know - which restaurant has that? But I think for a place with so much of these fixing, it helps a person like me to understand the flavor or what I am going to get.

My order was accurate to what I had asked. Additionally, the food court this Taim was in was really nice.“

“Great place. The staff is awesome and are very attentive. Drinks and food were fantastic. Was our first time there and I’ll definitely be back.“

“10/10 for sure , very welcoming atmosphere . I felt like VIP.“

“GREAT PLACE GREAT FOOD. Please go and enjoy.“

“Authentic Japanese spot serving quality cuts at a fraction of the price of other places. Particularly enjoyed the salmon and tuna cuts as well as the takoyaki. The atmosphere transports you back to little hole-in-the-walls in Japan and the staff are so sweet and attentive. Will definitely come back!“

“The food and the place itself is absolutely amazing as well as the employees“

“😀I have known Manetta's Ristorante since 1990's and have been going there. Food is always excellent and the prices are good. The staff and servers are pleasant. Lisa is always friendly and accommodating --- greeted me and my hubby with a pleasant smile and also checked up to make sure that everything was fine during the course of our meal. Server, Jasmine waited on us a couple of times --- one of it was today, 2/9/2024. We were happy with her service and everything else. Our overall experience with Manetta's Ristorante is excellent. I highly recommend.“

“Five stars for Good Neighbor Queens in the Falchi Building. Best cold brew in the area. This place is a vibe and I love it.“

“5 days in NY, spent 2 nights dining in this restaurant.. Like it love it ! Great food nice people ! Thx for the experience, greetings from Belgium.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Emack & Bolio's in Long Island City is an ice cream haven with rock 'n roll vibes. The Cookie Monster and The Original Oreo are must-tries. Vintage posters and friendly staff add to the charm. ??“

“This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in all of NY. It’s got a cozy feel even with the spacious backyard. It’s the kind of place you go to catch up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. The servers are all wonderful and the food is consistently DELICIOUS. The limoncello at the end is such a nice touch. I love this place. It is worth the trek to Sunnyside if you do not live close.“

“I got a rice tonkatsu curry dish here, which I expected to just be a plain dish but it was served with a variety of vegetables which really elevated the meal. The chicken and curry together had great flavor and the entire thing was quite filling.“

“I came here for lunch on Saturday, 2025 July 12. I was the first customer so it was nice to enjoy my meal while sitting next to the window. I had the Kai Ra-Berd (Egg Bomb) with ground pork and an unsweetened iced Jasmine green tea for a drink. The Kai Ra-Berd was really delicious. I definitely recommend it. The Jasmine green tea was refreshing.“

“Wonderful vibe, and authentic ramen! That broth is very rich, the noodles are stretchy, the eggs are cooked perfectly, and the pork was tender! I left full and satisfied. I also got takoyaki, both items came out piping hot. I look forward to trying their other dishes.“

“I was craving for Lamingtons for weeks! Tried to find a bakery that sells them. Found Sans Bakery & ordered online, it came in a nice box, beautifully packed & best of all, their lamingtons are superb! Perfect for tea time!“

“Fantastic diner and service in an intimate setting“

“Everything was delicious. I especially liked the Mexican fruit salad and Mango Lemonade.“

“Absolutely delicious dumplings. Great variety. Excellent prices. (They even have frozen dumplings to take home and cook.) Super casual- a few shared tables and people rotate through quickly.“
