50 Best Salad Restaurants in New York

“Excellent service, and the food is fantastic! I'd recommend a reservation on weekends as they get very busy. And note that they close at 3:30 and reopen at 4:30pm. We tried some appetizers, and they were all so good! But the branzino dishes and the braised beef were so delicious. I'm definitely coming back to try something else. The only thing is that the noise level in the restaurant is rather high, in terms of people talking over each other as it is such an open space.“

“I FELT THE LOVE

First time trying this place. I’ve been craving a burger and saw they were close to my job for me to walk over and order online. Eric, lovely person, (who I believe is in charge there) told me I was their third online order ever and gave me a high five. They just set up the online order today and I will say it was very convenient. Ordered at 3:25pm and it was ready at 3:49pm. That’s good service to me!

I asked for the burger to be made with love and it was.

This burger was perfect parts crispy, savory and made just right. From the photos I think the burger was supposed to come with fries. (It probably doesn’t come with fries. Mine did not but I ate it too fast to care and I also can lay off the extra carbs.)

I will be making this my lunch spot and I’m looking forward to trying their other menu items. I hope to also sit in one day, the staff were all so nice.“

“A fun, lively restaurant in the heart of soho. Like everyone else mentioned, food portions are incredibly small. We spent $100 each and both left hungry. The gnocchi we ordered had a total of 10 pieces of pasta. The service was good, atmosphere was stunning. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to friends, but would recommend they eat dinner prior to coming lol.“

“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 went to Porchlight with an old Army buddy of mine. Although we only had drinks, the hospitality we received was top-notch. The manager was exceptionally accommodating, even taking back a drink that didn’t taste quite right. To top it off, she surprised us with some complimentary Jell-O shots and thanked us for our service. I highly recommend this place for its great atmosphere and exceptional experience. Next time we plan to try the food too!“

“My first time ordering here, I ordered take away for lunch. I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and it was delicious! So flavorful and everything tasted fresh. Prices are reasonable and staff is very friendly. Would definitely come back! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent! Great services!“

“Amazing food! Great atmosphere and fantastic people.“

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

“I was only in the city for a day so I researched a restaurant I wanted to try. This was the PERFECT choice!! Extremely inviting as soon as you walk in (or at least that's the greeting I got) ? I loved the ambience and the banter I had with my server/bartender. Since I was eating alone, I sat at the bar. I would advise that everyone order the Caprese! Delicious! And, the meatballs Did Not DISAPPOINT! Everything about The Meatball Shop was perfect. I completely enjoyed my time there and I will definitely revisit!“

“Tried the egyptian falafel and the fries. They were both great. Sometimes falafel gets a little dry in the middle but not this one which was a good change.
Not sure if there were other vegan options but would definitely go back here for the falafel.“

“Their food is excellent and inexpensive (compared to other NYC restaurants). We ordered Shan Noodle and Burmese Pancake - both were delicious! Would love to try their other dishes in future! Location is also very good. However, you have to pay in cash and they do not accept cards or any other forms of payment. Although they have put a sign board indicating they only accept cash, we only noticed the board after ordering our food. There is a ATM nearby but I felt it is very inconvenient in these days and age.“

“ABC Kitchen is just beautiful inside, from the lighting to the flowers to the china they use. We just had an incredible brunch (get the crispy potatoes with garlic aioli!) and the service was super friendly and attentive. Thank you to our server Quinn and the manager Robbie. So genuinely personable. The customer service at ABC kitchen is unmatched. Give it a try!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“yummy and delicious“

“What a divine experience from start to finish! We had the 16-course omakase paired with sake. Came here for NYE dinner and it was magnificent. Fresh seafood on pillow-like rice. Hoji tea ice cream was perfect to end the meal.

The place is minimalistic but very put together. Staff was highly attentive. And the chefs are topnotch.“

“Most delicious authentic Georgian cuisine, friendly and attentive stuff, convenient East Midtown location, reasonable prices - highly recommended“

“Classic restaurant with a local atmosphere. Something outside the tourist area is worth the visit. The burgers and fries are very delicious and fast service. You have to pay in cash. If they are in Central Park with bikes you can pedal closer. There are sections of the route along bike paths.“

“This place is so good. The lasagna is clearly fresh and home made. Everything we had was excellent and the people running it clearly care about the experience and were super nice. It’s intimate and cool. Can’t recommend enough. We ate there two nights in a row and loved both.“

“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.“

“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“

“I visited NY City and made my bagel experience with H&H Bagel. A old time Bagel company with 7 locations in Manhattan. You will be served a very traditional NY style bagel . Freshly backed at all the time presented with in house crafted cream cheeses or salad spreads . The service is very fast and friendly . The atmosphere is a mixture of modern and old . I enjoyed my experience.“

“BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT! It felt very romantic and dark and classy inside, the food was amazing, we are huge fans of Turkish cuisine and overall everything hit the spot. The cabbage rolls were amazing as was the bread!! Overall very swell establishment“

“An Unforgettable Memorial Day Dinner at Katsuya NYC I recently had the pleasure of dining at Katsuya NYC over Memorial Day weekend, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and immediately felt the inviting atmosphere. The modern decor with a touch of traditional Japanese elegance set the perfect mood for the evening. We started our meal with the crispy rice with spicy tuna, which was an explosion of flavors and textures. The tuna was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the crispy rice added a delightful crunch. Next, we had the miso black cod, which was cooked to perfection. The fish was tender and flaky, with a rich and savory miso glaze that left us wanting more. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the omakase sushi platter. Each piece of sushi was a masterpiece, showcasing the chef's skill and dedication to quality. The fish melted in our mouths, and the presentation was beautiful. We also tried the Wagyu beef sliders, which were juicy and flavorful, a great twist on a classic dish. The cocktails were equally impressive. The Katsuya Fresh was a refreshing blend of cucumber and vodka, perfect for a warm evening, while the Lychee Martini offered a sweet and sophisticated finish to our meal. The service was impeccable throughout the night. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that our glasses were never empty. Despite the busy holiday weekend, the staff managed to make us feel special and well taken care of. Overall, Katsuya NYC exceeded all our expectations and made our Memorial Day dinner truly memorable. We can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in the city!“

“The food was incredible! Loved the Thai cilantro wings and the red curry was out of this world!! Also the spicy chili garlic noodles were a hit!!

Ps: the day we went they had a huge party come in and they were super loud but our server was extremely nice about it.“

“Himachi was not fresh at all but the coconut shrimp was amazing and the chicken dish very good. All dishes were creative and interesting. It’s clear they really specialize in bread. Next time we just get bread-focused items and maybe push them up a star. Great service and a lively atmosphere.“

“The best Peruvian food in NYC!“

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

“Highly recommend. Fresh, tasty, quick and decent value. Ordered the “Tomato Egg Noodles w/ Slow Braised Pork,” “Lion’s Head Meatballs over Rice,” and “Pork & Chive Dumplings.” All were flavorful! Will dine here again.

Kid-friendliness: Has high chairs.“

“Came here with a fairly large group and they were extremely accommodating. We had sushi rolls and the fried rice which were so delicious and very fresh. The sushi practically melted in your mouth. We went on a Sunday and it was also happy hour all day so that was a very nice surprise! I will definitely be back and totally would recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Healthy and delicious! Lots of good options“

“The true measure of a NYC restaurant that you want to support is one that knows that you have choices, so they make you feel appreciated when you go back multiple times. BLT Prime is that restaurant, and their manager, Tyler, continues to make customers feel like they matter. BLT's food and service has been consistently good over the years, and even when there is that rare hiccup, they endeavor to do better and keep you coming back.“

“Went here on a Saturday for Brunch. I made a reservation online as I'm told the place can get pretty packed up. Our 1:30pm reservation, was a great time, wasn't too crowded at all. The latte art was so cute and their nut milks are made in-house. The cafe drinks are a bit pricey for the sizes, but it's NYC, and you get what you pay for. I had a latte with the oat milk and it was quite tasty, indeed ?.

The inside aesthetic was cute, bright, and cozy with lemon tree decor. Would definitely return in the future.“

“The food is some of the best QSR food around. Cucumber and beet dish are delicious. unique and flavorful. they hit all the notes: bright, hot, sweet, salty, umami. can't wait to try the chicken sandwich. I wish they have gluten free buns.“

“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.“

“It's called a bar but the food is excellent. Omurice is done to perfection, unfolds on its own just like in anime. Gyutan curry melts in your mouth. Bit pricey but worth a taste.

Dietary restrictions: Curry sauce has a small amount of peanut butter. I was fine but if you're deathly allergic, stay clear.“

“We made a reservation for Saturday brunch so we didn't have to wait in line. The food was great here better than I expected! My favorite was the burrata toast and the sangria was really good too. Definitely recommend this place for brunch we had a great time here!“

“I happily grabbed a spicy chicken sandwich number two. The line was short, but they were super fast and always greeted me with a smile. As I sat down to enjoy my meal, I couldn't help but appreciate the perfect blend of flavors in the sandwich. The crispy chicken paired with the spicy sauce was truly a match made in heaven. I made a mental note to come back to this place whenever I was craving a delicious and satisfying meal.“

“After hours of hard work at the office, my stomach roared for a hearty lunch. Some of colleagues’ belly’s adamantly agreed. One was so far as to propose Omar’s. To which i responded with delight at the prospect. And so we went.

Only a short skip and a hop we found ourselves waltzing into the atmospheric joint, thrown right into the order line. My mouth watered at the thought of a chicken shawarma pita, so i ordered one, along with some potatoes.

We sat down and were welcomed with complimentary pita and hummus. This is where I must pause to say, this was the best pita i’ve ever had. And by no means am i stranger to pita. The hummus to which my bready vessel served was tahini forward, something I haven’t come across much before, but didn’t leave me with much dismay.

The chicken shawarma. Beautiful. I thought i would never come close to what had at Samos Grec in Aix-en-Provence. But this proved me wrong.

To finish the lunch off we were charmed with complimentary baklava. Sensational.“

“Is such a great sushi restaurant. Absolutely loved the rolls here and they were unique to the place, not your typical rolls you can get anywhere. Great service, multiple sushi chefs working at the front, overall an excellent place for a date night or if you’re just craving some really good sushi.“

“Amazing breakfast and nice folk.“

“Great deals! Recommended“

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

“Authentic Delicious Mexican Food“

“Very fun delicious spot! The food is so good. The fish is super fresh, the soy sauce is unreal. I like simple rolls so I really can be picky about it the quality of the fish but it really blew me away - love it! Would come back and recommend to friends. The Lychee martini is delish! Loved dressing up my fish!“

“A Winner of A Store and Standard of Excellence Since 1946“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“Went to melt for the first time. Was greeted by Zoei. She was cheerful and helped me make a choice of burger & fries. Food was fresh and tasty.

Excellent service and commitment from the staff Zoei. Real service and courtesy from the heart.“
