50 Best Salad Restaurants in New York

“This is my favorite Thai spot in the city!

I went there a couple of times and tried a lot of different dishes, they all exceeded expectations.

My favorite dishes are the green curry and the pad thai, they also have a delicious Thai ice tea slush.“

“This small inviting diner has great classic dishes, deserts and service with a price that makes it the best value in the area. It has an eclectic feel with both a bar and table service area. A single outdoor table for two is great for “people watching” if thats your thing. Alcohol is available.“

“Memorable meal! Went with a larger group so ordered almost everything on the menu. Every dish was really good, a few were truly incredible (the chicken was up there with the best I've ever had). Good vibes & service. Spacious. With drinks expect $200 person, but we were all stuffed. Highly recommend!“

“This was such a cute spot! I loved the theme and how thoughtfully they carried it throughout the space. It really made for a fun atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that feels cool, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the moment.

The food itself was decent, and the prices seemed fair for the area. While it might not be somewhere I’d go just for the food, it’s definitely a spot I’d return to for the overall experience. I could easily see myself coming back with a group of friends to hang out, share some laughs, and enjoy a few drinks. It’s one of those places that just works well for catching up and making memories. I'm looking forward to visiting again at some point.“

“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!“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We got seated right away. We were a party of six and they had no problems feeding us. The server was very kind and very nice. He continually checked on us and asked us if he needed anything. It took about 5 minutes before he took drinks and food. The OG was very good and it came with a Caesar salad that was delicious. I would not recommend the rigatoni with pesto unless you're getting it. As aside. It is very filling. Also, the tables were very sticky. Overall, I would recommend this if you need a quick place to eat.“

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

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

“yummy and delicious“

“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.“

“Authentic Delicious Mexican Food“

“Restaurant Week lunch--you had to select 2 courses--I had a delicious squash dish as an appetizer and a kind of chicken stew for the second course. Service was vey slow--they were quite busy--but by way of compensation they provided an amuse bouche. Though it was noisy because it was busy we could hear each other across the table.“

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

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“I just noticed that this place offers breakfast, and was able to try it yesterday. I was impressed! Really enjoyed the omelette, and the decor and atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely has a European vibe to it. Free refills on the coffee would have made it perfect, but otherwise a 5 out of 5 experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“The food was so delicious and the ingredients tasted super fresh and of high quality. The staff was very nice and helped us choose - since we wanted everything on the menu. The place has a beautiful warm cozy but clean design, and we could feel the nice warmth of the big tabun oven from our table.

I would recommend and come back! The frena bread and hummus are obviously a must!“

“TLK is amazing even while transitioning locations - not only are the classics always delicious (love the peanut noodles with tofu), there are some new menu items (brussel sprouts!!) that absolutely hit the spot. If you are gluten free and dairy free it's an absolute must, if you have no allergies and like good food and great drinks it's an absolute must! Make sure you make a reservation via their website if you're going in person - which is only for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays until their new space is ready.“

“Absolutely fantastic!!! I was impressed from the first bite to the last. This restaurant earned a return visit when I'm close. Every dish features fresh elements and careful presentation. Staff handle requests quickly with a friendly attitude. I'm promoting this place to all my contacts.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I found this place online with good reviews, and it was an excellent surprise. The service is great, the food was awesome, and the price was the cherry on top. I recommend going during lunch hours and ordering from the special menu, which ends at 2:30 pm. I'll be coming back soon!“

“ 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!“

“🍝 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“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

“We got all their famous dishes and they were all very good except for the omurice. It’s overrated because the sauce is basically just lots of ketchup with Worcestershire sauce (I’d rate it 3 out of 5).

Atmosphere is trendy and romantic but the tables are way too close to each other crammed I. A little space so you don’t get any privacy in your conversations.

Staff was thoughtful and friendly. Make a reservation.

Kid-friendliness: Too dark to be kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s too crammed and narrow of a place for wheelchairs to be accessible.“

“Last minute on a Tuesday evening looking for steak on the UES, we found this fabulous place. The popovers! Wow. The lobster Cobb salad was amazing, and steak and sides were perfect. Lovely ambiance, great service, and really nice location. Highly recommend!“

“It's has vegan options! Two kitchens!! Food is eggcellent also for vegetarians, service very nice and great to have a none rushed brunch. It is on the pricey side but you can taste the quality of the food! The only little speck is that its hard to get them on the phone.

The waffles were divine! Coming back for more!“

“We went to Madison & Vine for brunch and loved it. There were 6 of us and we all got the bottomless mimosas. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly and so on the ball filling our glasses. 😊 We’ll definitely return.“

“Healthy and delicious! Lots of good options“

“A friend and I stopped here impromptu on our walk and we were extremely impressed. Our server was a literal angel and provided sincere personal recommendations to my friend returning from Japan. We ended up re-ordering both of her suggestions. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive, the inside was also so sweet to be in. You can tell the care they put in and we really appreciated it. Will absolutely be back!!“

“It's an enlightening dining experience at Happy Tuna. The atmosphere and interior are homey and fun (there's a rainbow bar and interactive screens!). The food is affordable, fresh, and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to find they even offer desserts, cocktails, and sake. If you're around Grand Central, check it out!“

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

“amazing food and service. thank you!“
