50 Best Salad Restaurants in New York

“Not too busy for a weekday lunch. Prices and portions are reasonable. Service is quick and cheerful. Decor is bright and uniquely Thai.

Chicken wings - not the best I’ve had but the meat is moist and tender.

Crab fried rice - decent amount of crab meat chunks. Fried rice tastes slightly above average. Not too oily.

Mama more fire - flavors are superb. Has instant noodles in it. Half boiled egg is a great touch.

Thai iced tea - best Thai iced tea in town.“

“Had dinner here and it was very tasty. The establishment interior is a small refined diner. Four booth seats bar top and two stand alone tables. The booth seating was plush and comfortable to fit up to four diners. One waitress and bartender on duty, with a small kitchen. We were sat and waited on fast, but food took sometime as the place filled up fast after. We ordered the steak and the wedge salad and fries. Took roughly 25-30 minutes for the food to come out. The Steak portion was tiny, not diner sized but to be expected for the area. The meat was tender and well seasoned the potatoes were soft and complemented the dish. The wedge salad was cheesy and well seasoned.“

“Fun time with friends. Porchlight always makes exceeds expectations. We sat and immediately were greeted by our server. Promptly took our drinks order, our server also recommended drinks that were popular and those drinks did not disappoint. Afterward, we ordered some food, I ordered the chips and salsa, street corn croquettes, and sliders to start. Every single dish was delicious. As the night went along, and it got a little crowded, service lagged a bit. Overall experience was incredible, we will be back soon. Thank you for everything.“

“We throughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. There were 7 of us and they were so nice to accommodate us. We had 3 different appetizers 3 different ramens and 2 different rice bowls. Everyone loved everything. Highly recommend!“

“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!“

“I had the tamarind glazed salmon bowl at Inday, and while the salmon was delicious, it felt a bit dry.. should’ve customized it with extra sauces. I couldn’t finish the whole bowl, but I loved the healthy options. I’ll definitely be back to try a customized bowl next time!“

“Great time! Food was delish!“

“Kind family owned business with the best Fettuccine I have ever ate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“It is the best persian food I have tried in New York. The staff was friendly and professional.The owner is very kind, also he is the former goal keeper of Persepolis soccer team of Iran.“

“terrific service and food! the Sake Mojito was fantastic!“

“Chef Hideo is one of a few sushi chefs who works with traditional “basic” techniques. It might be called “basic”, but it is an absolute taste explosion in a mouth.
Even after traveling to Japan, we had such an incredible experience with Chef Hideo that we will be coming back.
Chef is very humble but he has been featured in many publications and owned michelin stars. It is however the least important thing for him on his path of bringing his customers the utmost delight.

Truly, an exceptional sushi place.“

“Super good service from everyone working ! The orange wine was really good which surprised me because I’ve tried it before and didn’t love it how I loved this one. I had a small app something with truffle and it was DELICIOUS. Will be back“

“yummy and delicious“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“Authentic Delicious Mexican Food“

“One of the best neighborhood sushi spots with great value for the quality of sushi. I've only done either takeout or delivery, but when I swing by I see people dining in as well. It's a relaxed restaurant that isn't stuffy and has some very fresh cuts of sushi, especially at the price point.

I think they shine best with their nigiri and they have some nice inventive, flavorful pieces like the King Salmon Yuzu Kosuho sushi and the Nama Hotate Shio Sushi. Their rolls are pretty solid too as is their spicy tuna crispy rice.“

“It’s a nyc tradition, great counter service with so many slice choices. Fast and delicious.“

“had dinner here twice and both times left the restaurant absolutely satisfied. tried a a bunch of different dishes and everything is delicious. flavors and textures just be hitting all the taste buds in the right place.
mushroom egg pizza is quite special, tartare is fresh and delightful.
service is impeccable. presentation gorgeous.“

“incredible place. the mohinga is nothing like you would expect from a fish soup— the broth is light, mild, and the chickpea fritters compliment it wonderfully. we asked if we can purchase the fritters anywhere, and they said they get it from a friend who makes them at home and does not sell. the iced milk tea is strong and refreshing. the tea leaf salad with anchovies has the right crunch without any fishy smell and the chilli that comes with it adds a nice depth— it was rich in flavor without being spicy and just refreshing.“

“Yummy yummy Sushi! Speedy Service!“

“The service is great and so is the food. Had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict which was served on a potato pancake. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly. The coffee is also excellent.“

“First trip to Aragvi and what a suprise. BY FAR THE BEST MEAL WE HAD IN THE CITY. The service was excellent! The Adjaruli was so amazing. The lamb chops to die for. The napoleon so light and tasty! We loved our dinner and will be back!!“

“Bombastic place with an electric atmosphere. We were seated at the best table in the middle of the rush hour, and the staff was very friendly and clarified that it was cash only, with an ATM across the street at Wells Fargo. Our food arrived quickly.

If you're craving a classic bar burger, this is the spot! My partner and I both enjoyed greatly. Completely blew our socks off as many locals warned, it’s definitely the best bar food ever“

“Hands down the best Turkish food in NYC. The owner-operator, Mike, is always on-site, adding a personal touch that makes the experience feel both welcoming and elevated. The food is clean, healthy, and notably free of seed oils — a rare and refreshing standard. The chicken chops are excellent, the chicken shish is top-tier, and the mezze selection is absolutely fantastic. Every dish reflects real care and quality.“

“We got the Thai crunch salad and the chicken + tzatziki plate. It was good! definitely reasonably priced for the location, food is fresh, the guys behind the counter really nice. nothing fancy, of course, but you can sit there. They have four two-person tables.“

“We loved the food and the ambiance. Great girls night for a table of three. Shared a number of veggie forward plates and got the salmon and Neptune burger. Shrimp ceviche also incredible flavor. Very delicious health conscious eating out, without feeling like we were being overly healthy. Also, milk river cocktail - get it!“

“This was already my favorite restaurant but we had them cater our bridal shower over the weekend and everyone was blown away. We told them how many people and they provided plenty of food and it was so delicious. Everyone was raving about it, they were so kind and helpful. Will continue eating here as well as have them cater for us again!“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“

“Was there only fees night ago party of 10 only peoples from the business every one was just amazed
By he quality of the food , fresh testy and so well done
From appetizers to desserts
Don’t forget dessert best ever
Great wine list
Can’t wait to be back

“Once I found Katsuya, I had a wonderful meal. If you go, walk past Whole Foods, Peloton and a half dozen potted trees. It is upstairs but there is an elevator. I had hamachi carpaccio - best I've very tasted, and the Katsuya roll - also very delicious. My server was lovely and the restaurant is beautiful“

“H&H bagels opened in St. John’s Florida this week! It’s wonderful to have a authentic New York City bagels in the community. They are so much better than what you buy at the grocery store. Love the sandwiches for breakfast or lunch or buy them for a picnic, road trip, take to the beach, or pick them up early in the morning and surprise the family with fresh bagels for breakfast!“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“🍝 Migarba NYC: Your Italian Escape in the City! 🇮🇹 ✨ Charming bartenders, top-notch service, and divine Italian dishes await you. A culinary gem in the heart of NYC! 🌃 #MigarbaNYC #ItalianDining #NYCFoodie“

“Amazing service and amazing food! Highly suggest the spicy lamb as well as the chicken shawarma platters. Pita, hummus, rice, and all of their sauces were the bomb. Our server was extremely friendly and we were even given a free baklava sample.“

“During our trip to NY, we stopped here and grabbed lunch. The line met us at the door but we got our food in under 3 mins due to our orders being taken in line and when we were at the cashier our food got handed to us while we were paying. We sat on the 2nd floor to dine and the restaurant was clean even though it was full during lunch time. The staff got our orders exact and the food was great. The restrooms are located on the second floor.

They have 3 floors at this location:
(First Floor)- Where you make your order and pay/Pick up orders online.
(Second Floor)- This is where you have the first option of dining and restrooms (No code needed).
(Third Floor)- Additional seating for dining.

Also, please note this restaurant is about a 8 min walk from the 9/11 memorial pools/museum, One World Observatory and the Oculus. So if you wanted to grab something before or after visiting this part of the city, this Chick-fi-la would hit the spot!“

“Best experience in food and environment... Recommended“

“Everything was nice. It seemed to me that the server could have used more help. It looked like he was waiting every table in the upper section of the restaurant. He did a GREAT job handling everything but another server up there might have been nicer. The food was really tasty. I just wish it would have come out hotter, it was warm enough to eat upon being served. I personally don't mind having my meal cool a little in front of me. Andres our server was terrific. The drinks were very good as well...“

“Super yummy. First time. INCREDIBLE crispy chicken sandwich. Also got side of beets and a side of carrots. Both fabulous.
Can’t wait to make this a work-lunch staple.

Also at ‘only’ $9, the chicken sandwich is an incredible price to quality for NYC!“

“Honestly was a fantastic place! Food was great (wings, peanut noodles with tofu, and glazed donut), not only because it was gluten free, but just because it was amazing to begin with. There are very few food options when traveling for me since I’m celiac, and unfortunately a lot of the time you can tell the food is gluten free. This place just tasted like regular (non gluten free) Asian food, which is great when you have people with you that are not celiac.

The donut had the ingredients listed and it did not contain grains or oats, which is great as 1 in 5 celiacs are affected by oats (even gluten free oats). They do have a strong coconut flavor from the coconut oil/coconut milk so if you don’t like coconut I would say these may not be for you.

Also to note, as of today they are currently working on building out the inside of the restaurant so it’s only pickup/delivery currently.

When picking up the person that working there was extremely nice, and offered us plates/plasticware since they knew we were outside.

Next visit to NY I will definitely be back!“

“Good service , excellent sushi and very clean Can be moderately expensive quality and presentation very beautiful. Need a reservation, tables are tight and can be a bit noisy The deserts are so delicious! Green tea cheese cake is divine Maria M Upper west side“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“ has mastered the art of hospitality! 's geographical advantage is clear, though its helpful employees are remarkable. Their selection includes both meat and plant-based dishes. Employees maintain friendly demeanors without exception. impresses me each time!“

“I really like Lucas Sin, so I was expecting this place to be a little more. My expectations aside, the staff was overworked even after 8:30pm, but they were still courteous. I would say this place would still rank much better than Panda Express (there's one down the street), given that this is kind of like a make-your-own type of place (think Sweetgreen, DIGG, etc.) but with a proper Chinese flair (again, contrast with Panda Express).

I would say that the seating area was a little not well-maintained, but you are served with a bowl used for a take-out anyway, so just take it to a place you feel more comfortable eating.

Vegetarian options: Build-your-own, others are clearly marked on the menu.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan.“

“Healthy and delicious! Lots of good options“

“A fabulous restaurant with extensive cocktails and drinks. The restaurant had very beautiful decor and its a perfect place for dates and catching up with friends. The cocktails were a bit strong but delicious. The garlic omurice was flavorful and the eggs were perfectly soft. The waitress who was there was also very attentive and very nice. I will definitely be back!“

“I ordered take out from here and got a few things to try. I really enjoyed the lemongrass flounder sandwich, the roasted sweet potato steamed buns, and the shrimp maki roll. all were super flavorful and fresh and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the bread. I will definitely come back!“

“Best bran muffins anywhere! And great oat cappuccino. And wonderful staff! My goto in Soho“

“Our experience eating here was thoroughly enjoyable. We liked what we ordered though we've had better elsewhere. I found the experience outstanding. The entire workforce shows impressive capability. I'm ready to return at the first opportunity.“

“Josh Capon and staff-

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say I had the pleasure of taking my sister to FFC on Thursday for her birthday. No surprise the food was phenomenal! What truly stood out was the staff. From the second we walked in, everyone made us feel like VIPs.

It’s clear your leadership style doesn’t just build restaurants; it builds culture. The morale, the service, the warmth all speaks volumes. Honestly, you might want to consider a TED Talk on team building. “The Secret Sauce: It’s Not Just in the Kitchen.”

Also, I really enjoy seeing you on social media - your amazing wife, kids and Cody. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse or a celebration of the team, your passion and energy are contagious.

Big thanks to Garrett for helping with the reservation—smooth as butter. Everyone thought the space was beautiful. The decor is Architectural Digest worthy!

Can’t wait to check out the new spot. Thrilled for you, your family, friends, staff and patrons—wishing you continued success and maybe a few more hours of sleep!“
