The best organic food spot in the Manhattan.Seriously! Name one place that's better and consistent.

Walked in over the weekend. This spot has a set of stairs that takes you to a basement. Almost every table was taken. It was rather quiet inside despite each table having their own conversation. Somewhat unique menu items. The space felt a little old and dirty, the way years of use make the walls feel like there's a layer on them. Could use some mods and upgrades. Certainly is a healthier dining option compared to other food options. They amp this by having a self-service veggie infused water dispenser in the dining area. 4.7/5 Quinoa egg bowl - I initially thought this bowl might feel heavy but it didnt! I finished almost the entire thing, left some quinoa in the bowl (there was a lot). This was a great portion and I enjoyed eating it. Good flavor and balance. I wondered how they came up with this. I deducted a smidge of points bc it was so different from what I normally eat that it left me feeling a bit unsettled however I would get it again. Was quite satisfied with my order. Would return to try other items. Dropped a star for the appearance of the space. Staff was there to take an order and that was it. Nothing to comment on there so the food and space are the main things I am reviewing.

this was so refreshing after a week of eating heavier, classic American food. The thai bowl was delicious and filling, and the service was really quick

December 21, 2022 --- Went for a lunch today as a group of 6, we combined 3 two-seater tables. The place is small, in the basement, and one will surely miss it passing by.I chose this places as it branded itself as a 'health food' place. The food really felt healthy and fresh, and there are plenty of vegan options. I ate the following.1.Thai warm bowl -- sumptuous with right amount of rice, grains, vegetables, enough green curry to make the dish feel not dry.2. Harmony juice -- A mint-pineaple-cucumber-etc. juice and I loved the coconut water base, instead of normal water. Cold and refreshing. My friend felt he is cleansing his body (and digestive tract) when he drinks it.I also tasted the Mexican bowl and Brussels Bowl. They tasted distinctively different. Its not just 'leafy healthy', all the food were flavourful. The ~26 dollars feels as money-well-spent.

I had low expectations for this and it turned out to be pretty good actually! I got the vegan sushi bowl and it was definitely filling. The mango was a nice touch to it.

Was feeling a need for something healthy so went here for their standard açaí bowl. They offer a lot of varieties I was feeling the basic version.I was not disappointed. Tasty and just what I hoped for. I arrived shortly before closing but was promptly and kindly helped. Employees here seemed happy and enjoying their job.

I hit up this underground restaurant on Restaurant Row for a vegan-friendly meal. This is a place where you order at the front then they'll bring the order to you. It is definitely a smaller establishment (there are ~5 2-person tables to sit at).I ordered the pink dragon bowl. It came out pretty quickly and presentation did not lack. The bowl itself was tasty and for something that usually melts quickly, it stayed solid for a pretty long time. I thought size was decent and fair for what I paid for.

Great for after eating too much in nyc, letting your stomach rest a bit.

A few friends and I were looking up places to eat around the area. We stumbled upon this gem of a place. I had just came back from the gym, and I was looking for a rich protein fulfilling meal. The women at the counter recommended the flaffel warm bowl with add ins. Totally fulfilling and worth it! There were a lot of other delicious options in the menu as well. This might be my new fav spot! Ambient of the restaurant was on point. Everything was clean, decor was nice and there were plenty of seatings to enjoy your food.Place can be easy to miss- you'll have to go down a flight of stairs. Make sure to follow the signs.

Very good food - all seems to be fresh - you can watch the guys in the kitchen working with real raw vegetables - does not look like it is pre-made! Very tasty! When you eat in, you get all in reusable dishes so very little trash! A water dispenser with fresh water with herbs is also available! Definitely will come again!

Great place to get vegan & vegetarian option with choices like Impossible Burger & Vegan cheese. Do note they do serve meat & seafood too. So please read the menu, it’s clearly marked with green icon for vegetarian. Clean, hip and friendly kinda joint. Probably around 3-4 tables with 2 seats. Need to go downstairs on the 46th street. Drinks are serve with oat milk. Overall, fresh ingredients and amazing dressings.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free options.

I accidentally stumbled onto Pure Ktchn as this was the 3rd option for lunch when my boss came to town. We had another place in mind, but strong rains forced us to select this place as it was closer to where we were located.It's a nice, small location tucked away in the basement between brownstones. Because there are some outdoor dining tents in front, it's easy to miss if you're walking on the right side of the road.With that said - the food itself was damn good. I had the falafel plate. It can definitely be 2 lunches, but it's not very heavy because there's a decent portion of salad mixed in. I'd come back just for this honestly. The food also came to our table pretty quickly, so that helped too.There are a few tables so you can definitely enjoy eating inside if need be.

Cool and friendly staff that would try to exceed special requirements if requested. Clean and comfortable seatings.

When I'm working in the city, I come here for lunch at least 4 or 5 days a week. They have some of the best açaí bowls I've had anywhere, the service is fast and friendly, and the environment is nice and quiet. It's the perfect place to get a quick, delicious, and healthy lunch!
