50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Springfield Gardens

“I used to come here more than 10 years ago. When I was vegan this place was my go to place for groceries and hot food. They no longer serve hot food since Covid but they do have homemade Jamaican patties and smoothie bar. If you are looking for healthy groceries in an area where health food can be difficult to find, this place is worth the trip.“

“I've been going to HDL consistently for 2 years now and it's still one of my favorite hotpot places in nyc. In terms of cleanliness, service and food quality it is top notch. In terms of price it is on the pricier side ($50-$75pp). The servers are very attentive and offer to make you a soup and dipping sauce. I always leave feeling full and satisfied. The Chinese opera show, dancing noodle and birthday singing also make the dining experience more fun and memorable.Parking: Paid parking lot“

“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.“

“Lovely people, lovely place, incredibly delicious food! Ingredients are very fresh, often from the local farmers market. There are both very creative dishes and classics on the menu. The Queensboro is a special restaurant that not only cares about the quality of their food and atmosphere, but also sincerely cares about the community.Kid-friendliness: Roomy and fun space that is very comfortable for those bringing children. The staff is super friendly with children as well!“

“We tried their super value lunch set for 2 at just $88! It comes with their special wine-marinated beef slices, paired perfectly with a seafood platter, fresh vegetables, and more. Trust us, its so yummy and a deal you don't want to miss! With their beautiful and spacious restaurant, Xiang Hotpot is the ultimate party destination!“

“the atmosphere was nice and the food was good. they offer a variety of fried foods and vegetables, and you can also choose from a selection of ramen! overall amazing meal, well worth the money. can’t wait for the manhattan location to open up!“

“Both excellent food, and service. Highly recommended! Attentive service by Adnan.“

“From the moment we stepped into Taverna Kyclade in Astoria, we were treated to an unparalleled dining experience thanks to the exceptional service provided by Gus and Cipriano. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel like honored guests. And as for the food, it was nothing short of extraordinary! Every dish was bursting with flavor, prepared with the freshest ingredients, and served with care. Taverna Kyclades truly embodies the spirit of Greek hospitality, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal and experience!“

“We recently had our daughters baptism dinner at Trattoria L'incontra and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our event was enjoyable and accommodative. Alfredo and his team were extremely friendly and attentive to every detail. During our meal, Chef Rocco came out to ask how everything was and even brought us another pasta course to try on the house. The food was truly exceptional. Each dish was presented beautifully and tasted even better. Overall, I highly recommend Trattoria L'incontra to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The combination of excellent service and delicious food makes it a standout restaurant in the area. I can't wait to go back!“

“I will rate this place somewhere between three and four. The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were courteous and friendly, well deserved 5-star rating. The food is a hit and miss. You need to know what to order in this place, otherwise, the dining experience could be unpleasant to your palates. The ribs in the cage looked fun but not impressive while eating them. The bathrooms were super unpleasant. It is a publicly shared bathroom and is poorly managed.Vegetarian options: There were not a lot of vegetable dishes here, but decent selections. Need to specify no meat for special dietary requirementsParking: The parking lot is expensive in the basement, and SUPER DIRTY AND SMELLY in the stairwells.“

“Best attention to detail concerning customers needs and want’s Want to put your always concerned about the customers experience. I recommend this place to anyone.The management has shown such great concern over my experience here that it is overwhelming. Cannot beat the experience here at this restaurant. Sammi is wonderful. I recommend this place to anyone traveling through New York.“

“I was in New York City to visit my parents in January 2024. Obviously, I then had to meet up with close friends that I don't normally get to see every day. One of my foodie friends and I decided to meet up. We always try to go to a new place that we both haven't tried - and we ended up here at Cheli. Cheli is a Chinese Restaurant (specifically Shanghainese) located in East Village (Manhattan) and Flushing (Queens). My friend, his girlfriend, and I went to the Flushing Location. According to their website, Che Li presents a distinctive dining experience, weaving together the rich tapestry of Song Dynasty banquet culture with the authentic and sophisticated flavors of Shanghai cuisine. Their culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the heritage of Jiangnan--a region known for its delicate beauty, culinary finesse, and the origin of Shanghai's gastronomic excellence. Characterized by its subtle yet profound flavors, meticulous preparation, and elegant presentation, their cuisine pays tribute to this heritage while celebrating the refined communal spirit of Song Dynasty feasts. We were all super excited to try! Between the 3 of us, we tried the following: - Wine Soaked Chicken - Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumplings - Sweet and Sour Crispy Eel - Nine Spiced Rabbit - Hot Stone Braised Rice (mushroom) - Sauteed Water Spinach - Black Sesame Sticky Rice Balls - Rose Lemonade Super fun and feels like an authentic experience. My friend had to order in Chinese - and I obviously pointed to the menu to order since my Chinese skills are limited. Never been to China but I would imagine the decor is pretty representative. Food, service, ambiance were A+. ENJOY!!“

“Just a lost soul visiting from japan. I happened to be in that neighborhood that day and stumbled into this place. When you step in you are acknowledged with great energy.Food was delicious. Fresh and generous. Nothing was left of the lamb kebab.“

“WOW…I never ordered from this Deli before and on April 26th (the food was THAT GOOD I still remember the date)I ordered a Chicken Salad Sandwich (Hero) with a request for Mustard on it. They did not disappoint!!! Not only was there Mustard but having not told them how much they put the PERFECT amount so it didn’t overpower the flavor of the Chicken Salad. The Chicken Salad itself was AWESOME and a generous amount. Topped off with the Lettuce and Tomato it was a dream! THIS is the ONLY place, going forward, that I will order this type of Hero!!! THANK YOU for the experience.“

“Everything is great. Coming here over 25 yes. One thing I noticed who's overall incharge he is no Tony. And never will be. Stained tablecloth oil bottle on table dirty and greasy. Dirty windows. Tony would never have put up with that. I also miss his cooking. It's the little things. But Tony would never put up with this. Everything had to be perfect.“

“We just LOVE this place! The staff is friendly and accommodating. Even though every table was filled (I always make a reservation, especially on a weekend), the staff did their best to get our food and drinks out as quickly as possible. My go-to favorite is the Codfish -- excellent, as always.“

“I come here at least once a week and I wouldn't go no where else! The food is always amazing, the servers know how to do their job and even go above and beyond. My favorite part is that no matter how much I eat I never feel sick afterwards. I've dined at plenty of BBQ spots and no matter what the meat makes me feel bloated but not here. Would highly recommend.“

“Went here last weekend to have lunch with our daughter who goes to St. Johns. Parked right on the corner (Metered ) no parking lot for those wanting to know. Mostly college crowd. Service was quick and good. Photos from others are the same as ours so i won't post. We would definitely go back again.“

“A whole vibe!!! From the moment you walk in, you are captivated. The decor, the music and the beautiful staff begin the wonderful experience that's about to occur. The food is exquisite in presentation and taste.i have visited the location in Forest Hills also but the experience in RVC is incomparable. (My daughter works near Forest Hills and frequented the other location but immediately stated she likex RVC just entering the restaurant) Iliana, Chastity, Julie and others, thank you for a great evening. Be back soon and every time I visit NY“

“Best momos I've eaten, even after experiencing several others. Vegetable Johl is my favorite. Everytime I visit NYC I look forward to eating here. Make sure to bring cash as it is the only payment accepted.“

“The service was top notch! Came on a Saturday for lunch and it was surprisingly not too crowded. All the dishes were super authentic Beijing cuisine. If you get the duck set, they would offer to either deep fry the carcass or make it into a porridge. We picked deep fry and loved it. The desserts also all look cute and interesting while tasting great.We were trying to hit the minimum for special seating, but the portion was very decent, so we took home enough leftovers for a second meal.“

“Their falafel mahshea might be my new favorite falafel in Queens. Stuffed with feta cheese and green olives. Served fresh and hot, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They have another version stuffed with eggplant and harissa that I’ll have to go back and try. Really enjoyed the chicken shawarma bowl too. The toppings and sauces made this a great dish — artichokes, garlic eggplant, feta cheese, garlic sauce and harissa. They also have excellent lemonades. I had the peach ginger and my husband had the Moroccan mint. They have a lovely covered backyard to eat in. Great choice for lunch or dinner near the beach.“

“First of all I'm from Pittsburgh never been to this place before. But they treated me like I was their best customer every one of these guys was so friendly what a great business. I won't forget this place. Oh and my sandwich was the best“

“We visited a popular Mediterranean restaurant and had a variety of dishes including hummus, beets, and charred octopus. The food was good. My favorite was the seared foie gras, which stood out for its flavor. The service was great and made our dining experience pleasant. Despite being a little sweet for my taste, the shrimp pasta was well-prepared.“

“BEST SAATVIK FOOD!Finally got to relish the amazing Indian food that I always saw on social media. The food quality and quantity are perfect. It was nice to experience quality vegetarian food at a reasonable price. They also sell packaged snacks and sweets. Only disappointment was the coffee. It didn’t taste like authentic South Indian coffee.“

“Obsessed. Even if you are NOT into cereal flavors, they have what you need! Do you like ice cream? You will LOVE this ice cream. Have some fun and enjoy an unexpected flavor with friendly conversation! Samples abound, additional toppings do not. Not much in the way of seating, but ice cream like this is enjoyed too quickly to worry about it.“

“I've never written a review before but after ordering from Knish Nosh, I had to. I've never in my life tasted such amazing food like this and to be honest I'm very critical and hard to please when it comes to food so like always I was waiting to either be let down or not that impressed but I was shocked I live in the City and I order from these guys 2 sometimes 3 times a week. I'm trying to get in touch with the owner, I'm willing to invest in Knish Nosh opening in the City! Simone E“

“First time trying their hotpot. Their soup base was very flavorful and smelled delicious. The food was also really fresh. The marinated meat was my favorite. My waitress kexin recommended me a lot of the dishes, and she was very knowledgeable of the menu. Amazing person! Definitely come back again.“

“One of my favorite bars to go to on the weekends! The food and service is great. Nachos and the sliders are always the best, great selection of beer and cocktails. The music could be a little lower since you can barely have a conversation with another person.“

“I have had this bar on my radar since I saw multiple posts about this place on Instagram in the past. I came in for brunch, and I think this place is super cute, and I got such a great view of the water while dining outdoors. Owen was my server, and he was very friendly. The service getting my food and drink was a tad slow, which was understandable as I saw the restaurant was having a private event inside. They have a decent sized menu with reasonable prices, and the Meatlover Omelet I ordered tasted really good. They also make a great bloody mary as well. I was surprised that I didn't have an issue finding street parking in this area as they don't have a parking lot. Overall, I was happy with my first experience, and I will definitely stop in again the next time I drive to the Rockaways.“

“Great place if you can be bothered to wait for entry. Security and staff were unprofessional. Queues were extremely disorganized and the attendants were young and not trained well for crowd control. I didn’t feel safe (if a fight or emergency broke out) once inside the atmosphere for the first night return was great. Many vendors. I will become a regular this summer if the entry is sorted out.“

“After months of seeing their posts and friends tagging in here, we finally ordered pickup. I'm mad we waited so long for order! Food was amazing! Best bbq we've had in the area. We had pulled pork sandwich, brisket sandwich, and ordered the wings dry. We will definitely be going back!! We inhaled the food, sorry no pics“

“María was an exceptional server/waitress. She was very attentive and very kind and interactive with us. We were a party of 9 and she made sure everything went well. Our Goucho Johnny M was AMAZING! Was always attentive to the meat temperature and made sure everyone was pleased especially during Mother’s Day all the moms loved and guests love him! The quality of the meat and pineapple were prime! If we come back we would love to see them again.“

“I had the Pata Yum Gai Zabb and a Taro Milk Tea - some of the best Thai food I’ve had here in the city. Reminds me a lot of Thailand. The vibe is very hole-in-the-wall, with a welcoming home-y atmosphere.I asked for very spicy, and the chef brought out a whole assortment of spicy condiments for me! Totaled to 21.50, would come again.“

“This is my first time to try this restruant and it won’t be the last! I ordered to food for delivery and it came so fast. The food was so fresh and hot, and it's not look mess up. The portions are big and prices are very reasonable! We ordered Crab Rangoon, Kung Pao Chicken, and Beef with Broccoli. Crab Rangoon is my faver!!!! Everything was delicious, i will order again soon!“

“Visited for the first time today and fell in love. Decor is beautiful as long as you like blue, vibe is relaxed, food really delicious. I had an omelette with asparagus shallots and feta and it was fresh ingredients perfectly cooked. Home fries and toast were top quality. I had a drink called the ginger blast which pepped me up more than coffee. Really lovely restaurant I will return soon.Vegetarian options: Vegan options too.“

“We waited for our order because the server forgot about us… to compensate we were given free tea and ginger ale! The food is good same as before when we first started eating there since it opened in Woodside!“

“Came here on a Saturday for dinner without a reservation and the place is pretty spacious so we got seated right away. It's located kind of away from flushing proper so the restaurant itself is pretty big unlike some of the more cramped spots. The food was pretty good honestly, you can tell it's very genuine Szechuan style cooking. We had the spicy beef and string beans they were both so flavorful. I have never been so excited about any vegetable dishes but the beans were one of the favorite Chinese vegetable dishes ever. We also got spicy fish, the fish was fried first then put into spicy soup. The cooking style is amazing and everything was delicious. The spice they use are fresh and not too much for my taste. Our service though was a bit slow and I think at some point they forgot to make our fish and we had to ask multiple times before it finally came out. Would have been great if service was better but overall flavors are amazing and would definitely come again!“

“I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Not only is the food incredible, but the service is some of the best I've experienced in NYC. Matteo, one of the managers, went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. I eat out almost daily and this is absolutely the best meal I've had in NYC in 2024.“

“Love the food. Definitely Drum Pot (Rice Dish) Similar to what I grew up with in Burma. Have to try other things. Very good service. Especially when I need special packaging to take on plane for my family who lives in another State. The owner is very helpful and accommodating.“

“Had Upma and Masala Chai today at Dosa Hutt . Everything was fresh and the best. Very clean restaurant.“

“Great food—Nasi bungkus with rendeng is my favorite, but the oxtail soup is super tasty. Small place with good service. This was the first place I ate when I moved to the neighborhood, so this will always be a local spot I frequent.Dietary restrictions: My friend has a tree nut allergy, which limited our options but our server was incredibly helpful and made sure there wasn’t cross contamination. We both enjoyed our meals!“

“Of course I loved my March Special Philly with Mushrooms. Today, my mom arrived from India at JFK and I decided to introduce her to American Vegan food :) She said, "chaalaa baagundi ", which means very good, a high compliment!One of the greatest treats about visiting India is food (colors and live dance musicals are another); there's a ton of plant-based eats but the vegan food has some ways to go.“

“Herb & Olive is everything you want in a specialty food establishment. The ambience is serene, the food scrumptious and the staff, courteous and friendly. The Greek foods for takeout are amazingly delicious.“

“Great brunch spot! Delicious drinks and food. The ambiance was nice- despite being small, it wasn't loud and didn't feel crowded. The arepas were nicely cooked and my sunny side up eggs were perfect! Loved my Bourbon Bee's Knees. Can't wait to go back and try more drinks and plates.“

“I have been craving nam khao tod since living in Europe where SE Asian food is fairly basic. This did not disappoint! They made it spicy as I requested and gave me more herbs/lettuce for free when I'd run out! Note it's cash only.“

“Had a fabulous birthday dinner last night at Nick’s. Their food is always perfect and the atmosphere is friendly and so comfortable. I highly recommend it …try them you’ll be glad you did !!“

“Came in right at opening time - service was great and Pedro was very attentive. Very clean and looks brand new. They gave us free dessert on the house and the hot sake was strong. Food was good overall, didnt try anything hot because we came so early and didnt want to wait!“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“Overall, dining at this mom and pops vibe Turkish restaurant/grocery was a delightful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of authentic Turkish cuisine served with a side of warmth and hospitality. Everyone was friendly. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.“
