What makes it special: A fully plant-based, organic kitchen turning out composed bowls and salads near Grand Central.
A Chinatown institution for Kosher vegetarian (largely vegan) Cantonese comfort where the best move is to order wide and share fast. Come for dim sum staples and convincing mock-meat classics that hit the sweet-savory, crisp-fried textures people actually crave.
Must-Try Dishes:
BBQ “pork” buns (char siu-style), Pan-fried turnip cake, Fried tempura oyster mushrooms
What makes it special: Classic Chinatown dim sum made convincingly vegan and Kosher.
#3
Nish Nush
8.3
A Tribeca counter spot that wins on falafel texture and hummus-forward plates built for quick, repeatable cravings. It’s best when you lean into the mezze-and-pita rhythm—big flavors, fast pacing, and strong vegetarian value for the neighborhood.
Must-Try Dishes:
Falafel Trio, Masabacha, Falafel Sandwich
What makes it special: Falafel-and-hummus plates that eat like a full, fast ritual.
A Chinatown standby for kosher, vegan Chinese comfort built around mock meats, dumplings, and shareable dishes that satisfy even when you’re not eating plant-based. The move is to order a few classics family-style and treat it as comfort food with range.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mock meat dim sum, Vegetable dumplings, Salt-and-pepper style plates (vegan)
What makes it special: Kosher vegan Chinese comfort with a deep dim sum-style menu.
8.0
A focused vegan burger counter that gets the core texture-and-seasoning balance right, delivering a convincing smash-style experience without trying to mimic steakhouse swagger. Order tight, eat immediately, and let the fries-and-shake combo do the extra lifting.
Must-Try Dishes:
Vegan smash-style burger, Loaded chili fries, Cookies & cream milkshake
What makes it special: A vegan burger that nails texture and seasoning like a real smash.
An all-Asian vegan spot that’s built for mixed-craving groups: noodles, stir-fries, and saucy mains that read like familiar takeout—but cleaner and more considered. It’s best when you order for contrast: one noodle, one crispy or saucy main, and a dim sum-style starter to round it out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pad Thai noodles, General Tso’s soy protein, Dim sum sampler
What makes it special: A huge all-vegan Asian menu that reliably satisfies mixed groups.
