Just wanted to mention that the food his is truly remarkably good! I'm impressed every time. ♥️

I particularly like the Oshi salmon pasta (which is textured perfectly tender and crispy) and the Chunk steak sandwich (which is cooked and seasoned just right)!

Honestly, everything is fantastic.

Food and service are both excellent. Been here several times and it’s been great every time. One thing I really appreciate is that they list all the allergens on the menu and have specific soy free and gluten free sections. Highly recommend. Probably my favorite vegan spot in NYC.

Stopped in for a quick meal otw to a show. I had the salmon pasta, the salmon was very good...was told it's by a company called Oshi (?) The blueberry lemon cake was also really good!
