Vegan Ginger Root

Vegan asian food!!! 🤤 My favorite kind of food. Its a small place with a nice menu and a lot of choices. I was very impressed by the vegan lobster, delicious! The attention is very nice and the prices are cheap. I will be back for that lobster 🤭

I feel bad even writing this but the food was gross. We ordered 4 things and finished none. Server not rude but also not friendly. The food seemed fresh and was very hot but whatever they used to substitute for lobster and wonton filling had a disturbing texture and no flavor. My husband's said the Seiten skewers were almost impossible to chew. I tried his dumpling and almost spit it out. I've been vegan for 10 years and am pretty easily satisfied - just for context.

Surprised I hadn't reviewed this gem yet! Consistently delicious well-cooked vegan food at an unbeatable price! Took a couple people here over the years and they loved it too. That lunch special is really incredible. Today the mango "chicken", spring roll, and the pumpkin is so soft and well-spiced. Thai iced tea with soy milk was great. My friend had the pepper beef and a Thai iced coffee. She was impressed and we agreed we felt good after the meal (none of our usual gastric issues). The people working there are very nice. I only wish they would play some music for a better ambiance. Still 5 stars for the food and service though!

Ginger Root is a vegan haven! Their extensive menu boasts a delicious array of Asian-inspired dishes, all reasonably priced and generously portioned. The friendly service creates a welcoming atmosphere, making the dining experience truly enjoyable. Conveniently located near both tram and subway lines, Ginger Root is a must-visit for any vegan or anyone looking to explore plant-based cuisine.

A really nice vegan place with great food, healthy portions and fair prices. I stopped here on a trip to Manhattan, as it was close to my hotel. Everyone on staff was super friendly, I really liked the vibe. My favorites were the general tso’s chicken and bean curd skins. Soup came with the meal and I added on some steam buns that were delicious too. I felt like I got a lot of food for my money, especially considering this is NYC. I only have positive things to say about Ginger Root. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m on the East Side
