Health Food Restaurants near Ridgewood, NY

“They prioritize health over flavor so don't go here expecting super flavorful food. I had the Bison burger and sweet potato fries. It was quite good although I didn't taste any salt, I don't think they add salt or very little. You have to ask for it. The buns were yummy and toasted and kinda sweet. The burger was good and tasted fresh although not a lot of flavor. Overall it's a good spot if you looking for a healthier option, and if you're a gym guy. The people are also very friendly and talk with a nice tone.“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“This restaurant was excellent! It’s similar to Chipotle in the sense that you can build your own bowl, but with Indian dishes instead.

I ordered the mixed greens with chicken tikka masala and basmati rice, and everything was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The service was quick and efficient, and the food came out hot and delicious. I also tried the samosas, which were amazing.

Overall, everything tasted fresh and well-made. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!“

“Good SERVICE GOOD FOOD 👍 GOOD WAITING TIME I LOVE THE THE PLACE“

“Last week, I went to my favorite spot in East Brooklyn & discovered a special menu item that I didn’t know existed!

The Ital Pasta, exclusive to Livonia BKLYN Blend is absolutely delicious! Mushroom, spinach & pepper is such a simple combo but just does everything for a lunch time craving! Took a red velvet cupcake to go! Will be back with my friends soon!“

“I did a Too Good To Go order last night… Raye & Janil went above and beyond! They made sure the bowl had a variety of their high quality and could not have asked for better customer service. This specific location will be in my lunch/dinner rotation!“

“This place creates food worth paying for without overcharging. Their staff interacted with genuine warmth. The quality was apparent from our first moments inside. I couldn't get enough of the food. This place is worth your consideration.“

“Fresh“

“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“

“I ordered the Peruvian Chicken Market Plate.

The portion is good and the plate is well balanced.
You get rice and lentils, chicken, sweet potatoes, corn, pickled onions, and avocado mash, so there’s a nice mix of protein, carbs, and vegetables.

The chicken was flavorful and not dry.
The green aji sauce added a good kick, and the pickled onions helped balance everything out.

Overall, it’s a solid, filling meal if you want something healthier than fast food but still satisfying.

The price is reasonable for the quality and variety.“

“A wide selection of Asai (and other based) bowls. Endless combinations of fruit with added garnishments. Reading the founders story and appreciating the immersive design of the location you can almost feel like you escaped from 2nd avenue off to a warm sunny beach elsewhere. Enjoy surfing the flavors of your bowl, there is no need for sunscreen and you won't need to clean up any sand before you get back home. There is an additional seating space to and a restroom inside. The servings are bigger than your average Asai bowl (may be enough for 2) but the prices are also relatively high.“

“Great place! shakes are amazing. Great service!“

“Did you guys reduce your portions?!?! My food seems a little light.“

“Omg I️ love your salads it’s so amazing and the service was awesome I️ appreciate the welcome to chow I️ give most appreciation to Alexus she’s a very hard working independent god bless you guys and your amazing salads“

“A local favorite for me! Food is always fresh, healthy, and delicious! Friendly and hard-working staff. I really enjoy the PB&J along with any of the smoothies. The specials are always refreshing to try too. Plenty of seating or you can grab and go. Definitely a 10/10 recommend!“

“Here's a heartfelt review you can use: From the moment we walked in, we were embraced with warmth and kindness that made us feel like family. The atmosphere of this intimate establishment was not only beautiful, but thoughtfully curated with an eye for detail that didn’t go unnoticed. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every bite bursting with flavor and made with love. The hospitality, professionalism, and sincere attentiveness of the staff was unmatched. We were served with such dignity and care, it truly touched our hearts. This place deserves more than five stars—I'm giving it a full 10! A gem of an experience we won’t soon forget.“

“Had a great time here, I got the spicy chicken sandwich on gluten free bread. Lovely! The bread fell apart but I still enjoyed. Big shoutout to Nat, she was so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and what goes into it!! She added a great vibe for my first time here. Thank you!“

“Acai bowls and fresh smoothies are the best!!!“

“I wish I could write another review! This playa bowl is amazing want to give a shot out to Wajid, he is amazing friendly and always makes me feel welcomed 🙏🏽. Older review ->.I went to the playa bowl location on 36 street in NYC on Sunday June 15th. Despite that the AC was not working and it was a hot summer day. The employees were friendly, attentive, and personable. I do not remember the name of the person who take my order but he was great. He even took the time to bring me my smoothie. He went above and beyond. I highly recommend this location and playa bowl in general. Haven’t been disappointed in any of there smoothies or bowls.“

“Des produits frais et sains, un décor au top Hawaï a Panam, service haut level merci infiniment et à très bientôt.“

“healthy options, clean restroom, friendly staff, delicious breakfast“

“Always walk by and finally decided to try. They have a variety of bowls and bases. Outdoor seating and beachy indoor vibes.

I got the coco craze bowl. Coconut base, flax seed granola, coconut flakes, mango, banana, and pineapple. Regular size bowl. I downloaded the app and got 15% off as a first time order, so paid just over $15 with tax and a convenience fee of 50 cents.

Overall it was a great bowl, large enough that it lasted most of my work day. Only con is the coconut base melted pretty fast after I picked it up from the store, so it quickly became a juice with fruits.

Would try again.“

“We have all the options where I live and every time I get Just Salad I wonder why I eat anywhere else. So many fresh dressing to choose from.“

“It was interesting to try the food, I’m not so sure about anything other than the açaí bowls. I tried a banana bowl but didnt find it great. Which is unfortunate cuz I love banana. However it wouldn’t be a problem if the price wasn’t a bit too much for the quantity I received. Honestly pretty good tho.

Only question I have is that it says open access to 2nd floor. Is that’s something i have to ask the employees to open for me? Cuz if I can enjoy my playa bowl with a view? That might change my tune right quick.“

“Attended the Grand Opening for the New Smyrna Beach Location. It was very festive. The Bowls were delicious!“

“The food is a absolutely outstanding!“

“I usually go for the smoothies and health shots (which are A1!! - the freshest and healthiest smoothies I’ve ever had). Today I ordered a hot plate (grilled chicken, brown rice and black beans, purple cabbage, and plantains).. OMG! Lol. I had no clue the food was as good as it was. I HIGHLY recommend! EVERYTHING is good.“

“Love Playa Bowls—best açaí bowls hands down!!! They’re hearty and you get a nice size bowl/amount for the price. The options are insane!

My favorite is the power -açaí bowl w/ peanut butter (shown in the picture). My kids love the mucho mango (also in the picture) and the Stupid Cupid (not pictured).

This particular location is a nice size. They have a few tables inside as well as a seating area. There is usually seating outside as well but the entire sidewalk block is under construction at the moment.

I’ve never experienced bad customer service. I’ve dined in, ordered online for pickup, AND I’ve had it delivered before. Always a 10/10!“

“My colleagues and I are obsessed with the Cilantro Lime Chicken bowl! We order it multiple times a week and are always satisfied! All the servers always greet us with smiles and know us by first names. Cris, who works at the register is great. She told us about the Just Salad app and all the reward perks we get with every purchase. The food is fresh and delicious. Great job, all!“

“Great smoothies! The customer service is good I’m only rating it 4 stars because they don’t tell their customers to sign up for their rewards system which I would’ve liked to know directly from the store and not from a stranger off the street.“

“sin duda una Rica ensalada, un lugar muy limpio, el personal muy amable, atención de 10. volveré....“

“Playa Bowl is my favorite meal in the world. I always get the power açai and I substitute it with plant protein. The staff at every location are always awesome. Smoothies, oatmeal, açai, pitaya & coffee. Started in New Jersey in 2014 and is sweeping the nation.“

“I come here all the time and they’re always great! The staff is super helpful and patient — especially since I’m picky and don’t drink milk or eat bananas. They always get my order right and make it easy for me. Thanks for consistently great service!“

“So, I usually go to the one in Park Slope because my wife is a big fan of the Dubai Açaí bowl. I was surprised this store was open early and we walked in a little after 8am. The girls were very nice and helpful. The peach lemonade was amazing and the Açaí bowl was great too.“

“i enjoyed at that place a lot a must visit location“

“11/8/2025 I tried the Just Salad in Bayside, and it tasted just as amazing as the one I had in Garden City! The restaurant was nice, clean, and bright — I loved the wall art and welcoming vibe.
One thing I really appreciate is that they ask how you want your dressing: light, medium, or heavy. Of course, I said heavy, because that Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette is so lovely! I honestly can’t imagine a salad without it — I’m officially in love with this bowl. 🥗💚
My only concern was the meat toppings being kept in tin holders — it made me wonder how long they’d been sitting there. Hopefully it’s a quick turnover and everything is freshly prepped, because food safety is important. As someone with allergies, I’m extra mindful about what I eat and where I eat.
Next time, I’ll go meat-free and make my protein at home, but I’ll definitely be back for that fresh, flavorful salad. This was my first time dining inside (the other times I ordered delivery to work), and it reminded me how important it is to visit the places that make our food.

Bon appétit! 🌱✨“
