Franchia Vegan Café

First of all, this is a restaurant, not a cafe. I liked everything i had there and all staffs are very nice. I drank Saratoga still water, Chungha, and sparkling water with lemon slices for drinks and had Jeon combo, vegan gluten free chicken curry with rice in a stone bowl, fried cauliflower, fried string beans, fried carrots, fried mushrooms, penang noodles, and vegan dubai chocolate ice cream. It’s a good place for non vegan as well. I was impressed by their Korean authentic and nice tea menu, also. I strongly recommend you to visit Franchia.

This review is a long time coming. I'm born and raised in NYC and have been vegan for 16 years. I've tried vegan restaurants all throughout the city, probably all the major ones. Franchia Vegan Café is definitely in my top 2 for my favorite vegan restaurant of all. The portions are fantastic—during a time where most high end restaurants are serving tiny dishes and charging an arm and a leg—but most importantly, the flavors are amazing every single time! I brought my mom here recently for her birthday, she's Hispanic and had never tried this kind of food before, and she was obsessed! I do need to try more of the menu, but my all time favorite entree is the Penang Noodles. It is literally the best vegan noodle soup bowl in this entire city! Love the creamy curry and spicy flavors as well as

Delicious food in a serene environment. Refreshing that the entire menu is vegan and there are so many authentic options. Anyone who enjoys Korean food (vegan or not) would love it here. I had ginger tea, vegetable buns, spicy kimchi bibimbap, and the ube coconut custard. Everything was flavorful and satisfying.

The food was good, but it felt a bit bland overall. The spicy noodles were the standout, with a delicious smoky flavor. The kimchi pancakes were also quite good. However, the bao and fried cauliflower were a bit too bland.

Amazing food and great ambiance. The vegan chicken curry was incredible. Dined with 2 non vegans and we all enjoyed it equally. I will definitely come here every time I get to NYC.
