Oh my god this place is like Vegan heaven is so good. I got the skewers with the real meat. It taste like real meat is crazy and the carrots and then this amazing mushroom coffee. Highly recommended for Vegan or not Vegan. I got the blueberry lemon cake for dessert and it’s so good so good. We’ll definitely come back here every time I’m in the city.

I love this place. From the teas to the wings, to the burger... everything was so good. The service was great. I went on a weekday at dinner time and got right in. No issues.<br><br>Probably my favorite vegan burger I've ever had!
The food was very good and tasty. It was served in a very classy and looked amazing, making you want to eat with your eyes. The service was super friendly, as was the entire place. I highly recommend this place to everyone, you 100% won't regret it.
Food Was Amazing. Got Taken Here By A Vegan Friend, Even Though I’m Not Vegan I Thoroughly Enjoyed. Service Was Attentive & Atmosphere Was Great A Little Dark But Great, Wish They Had “Apples” Though ( I didn’t forget that boo)
The buffalo cauliflower and chickun and waffles were amazing! Some of the best seitan I’ve ever had and even the kale was delicious. The staff is super friendly and the service is very fast. Also the mushroom coffee latte is super good and I’m usually really picky about my coffee. Highly recommend!
Came here for Saturday brunch had a wonderful experience. Everything on the menu was something we wanted to try. We decided on sharing a sweet (The Golden Child French Toast ) and a savory (The Get Right Within Burrito) dish and loved both. Location is good, I prefer more natural light but cute spot would definitely come back.
This is my partner and I's favorite place to eat in new york city. Not only is their fully cruelty free menu amazing and delicious, the service is phenomenal. Our server remembered us when we came the second time, even though it had been a couple months since we came. They have the best BLT that I have ever eaten in my life! and on top of that they have wonderful drinks and n/a drinks. The vibe and the patrons here are also the best. We love UVK
we had the best dinner ever here! the food was amazing!! so flavourful it was so beautiful in there, amazing art and vibes. amazing service everyone was so nice. very gay friendly.
I ordered the salmon pasta to go. Interesting enough, the pasta actually tasted better when it was room temp-cold. Hot-warm, the sauce was a little weird. Not bad, but different. The salmon was amazing. I had to double back to make sure it wasn't real. For the size of the takeout container though, definitely not worth 30$ though. Either increase take out portion or decrease the price. I'm sure most of the price is coming from this fancy vegan salmon, but 30$, while affordable for me, is kinda insane given the size of the container.
Had an amazing vegan BLT sandwich. It was so so yummy - I think of it fondly. My partner had the breakfast platter with scramble and potatoes and the tempeh bacon. The tempeh bacon is so good, homemade bread is delicious and potatoes were very well seasoned. Overall loved it, wish I had more time to go again but short visit!
Delicious, hip vegan eatery in the heart of Chelsea. The portions are large, the prices are fair. Everything is 100% vegan. The menu has a broad range of options and they always offer interesting specials. They also have a full mocktail menu if you aren’t into alcohol. Definitely a great place to stop by if you’re in the area!
I thoroughly enjoyed the decor and atmosphere here. My friend and I were immediately welcomed upon entry and directed to the seating area by the host. Our waitress went over the soup of the day with us and answered any questions we had about the menu.<br><br>My friend and I opted for shareable dishes which was enough to split/share between the two of us. The food was absolutely delicious. We wanted something light but nourishing and UVK did just that !. The food presentation was good as were the beverages we had. 10/10
Good food, healthy, all Vegan, good service, reasonable prices, enjoyed the music. Able to have a conversation.<br><br>I got a gluten free burrito bowl, filling and supportive high protein meal.<br>We had a cauliflower appetizer with dipping sauce. Also, potato leek soup was enjoyed.<br>We were so full, we could not consider dessert.<br><br>See the pictures and video.<br>Can I get a ❤️?
Friendly and welcoming service. Absolutely delicious food and chill vibe. My top two faves was the Korean bbq and the choke pizza. Also you won’t regret saving a little room for dessert! We went for a plain chocolate tahini chip and vanilla ice cream and it was Devine! Also, reasonable prices. We’ll be back!
The energy the flavor the love was all there 💯 came into NYC for a vacation and this place was the cherry on top. Wing party with sauce(s) 🔥 Mac and cheese 🤤 🔥 and the Mississippi mud pie for dessert?! come on man don’t play yourself if you come to hell kitchens area this is not one to mess around on make it in and see for yourself! much love from Tampa FL- DJ ❤️💛💚
