The food is always amazing but the service leaves something to be desired. The food is very filling and always worth the price, but even when their restaurant is empty, it takes them a while to bring the food out. When the place is full, it can be a pretty long wait. It is also hard to get a waiter to notice you. They never look around the whole room before going back to see if someone is waving. All in all, if you have some time and are patient, it's a great place to go. If you are looking for a relaxed small intimate and cheap dinner- definitely come to Ozu. The food is very good, unique and all natural- which makes it that much better. Don't come if you are not willing to try new and interesting dishes.- but if you are willing- ozu is the place to eat! We highly recommend it. Misc: the service was quick when we were there- and it was pretty crowded; the chairs do have a low back- but they are still comfortable and call before you come since you can't make reservation.

I am not a vegetarian, vegan or "rawie"- but I am open minded, and actually was fascinated when a vegan friend invited me to eat here. While the presentations and combinations of food were interesting- that's all I can give it- it was "interesting"...perhaps I am biased, but it is hard to make yummy full meals out of raw food. I kept wishing that my "marinated" veggies were cooked. Hopefully this is a fad that will go away- vegans at least have a point- they're abstaining from animal products for ethical reasons. I actually like to eat vegetables (though not a veg head). I have to agree with the previous review. My entree tasted like a mushy salad, albeit way overpriced. If you stick to the basics- salads- they do pretty ok- but that's not the point of coming here. This restaurant gives veggies a bad name which is a shame- if you treat them right, they can be really yummy.

The first time I ate here I was alone in NY. Scarey for me in itself! The staff made me feel at home and the food was unbelievable! I went back again before leaving town. Then took my husband the next time we visited the city and he loved it. The overall atmosphere of the place takes you to another culture. Even leaving your shoes at the door! I love everything about this place! And we have tried most of the top restaurants in NYC and Hungawi is always at the top of my list.
Koreans are not vegetarians by nature - even most of vegetarian Korean foods contain seafood suace or other meat flavors. While Hangawi sticks to the Korean cooking method, some are downright strange - which reminds me of my mom making sloppy joe style bibimbob. For those on low budget, lunch is very affordable, for instance, spinach+corn porrige with veggie bowl or tofu with brown sauce cost only $12-$15.

This is one of my favorite New York spots. The atmosphere is calm and elegant without being uptight. The food is creative and delicious, and of course good for you too. My favorite is the mushroom & soy platter (which is made to look a little like scallops), and the avocado tartar. The fresh juice is finally worth it. I am vegetarian but i took my brothers (who are BIG meat eaters) and they were over the moon! Some reviews I read complained of too much oil, but I disagree: to me the olive, sesame, and other vegan oils have a healthy flavorful taste and are not heavy at all.

It's so nice to have a veggie restaurant like Candle Cafe in our neighborhood. I have only recently discovered it and have only tried the club sandwich, which was made with a wonderful grainy bread, and the best "faux" mayonnaise ever, on the side, along with a good cole-slaw. I also had the coconut cheesecake, which was delicious. A larger circling of their super chocolate sauce around the cheesecake would not have gone amiss...Yum! I was in the mood for tomato juice or a "V-8" -type drink, and was a bit disappointed that they didn't have a tomato juice-based drink, but I did fine with water. The service was superb--and the atmosphere friendly...though not at all "elegant" in my mind, as one reader claimed it to be. There were several small groups dining, but also many single-diners...so no uncomfortable feeling if you ask for "a table for one" there!

Every time I eat at Angelica's I feel like a million bucks after. The food, service, and atmosphere is great. It's my staple restaurant to bring "out of towners" because it's cool enough for my punk friends, but it's not too freakish for the more conservative. Also, the communal table is a great idea for when you want to go for lunch or dinner on your own.
This is my favorite restaurant in NYC, and I am a very picky eater. I have taken my non-vegetarian friends there many times and they all asked to go back. That says a lot! You must try Angelica's Kitchen! Oh, and they only take cash, so run to the ATM before dining there.

Their menu has a quote 'Comfort Food' and boy, are they right! The food is delicious from the mini spring rolls to the Orange Beef (mock beef of course). Appetizers, soups, noodles, entrees and even some deserts (mostly nuts) can be ordered. If you are allergic to any of the clearly labelled menu items, let them know so they can omit it from the dish. Vegans are also welcome as everything is labelled to show what has dairy items. And if you prefer some of the spicier dishes, just look for the small chili pepper. The Buddhist nun who normally takes our orders knows us by name and suggests new dishes all the time. It is a wonderful place to go when you're downtown and i've even taken my lunchbreak to get my lunch from there (I work near 42nd street). You won't be disappointed!

There is nightly chaos at Hoomoos Asli, which diners are willing to endure, even enjoy, because of the owner's sparkling Israeli dishes and good cheer. "Please don't pronounce it humm-us," the menu says. The "hoomoos" it calls asli is a Turkish word meaning "the real thing," and it is wonderful, simply a smooth chickpea purée with a lemony tang and a deep flavor, served with fresh puffy pita bread. The menu offers much more, including a selection of extremely fresh salads. Among the other dishes, try the mallawach, a Yemenite Jewish dish of flaky flatbread pan-fried until crisp on the bottom and topped with feta cheese, black olives, olive oil and zatar, a fragrant Middle Eastern spice.

Spring Street Natural Restaurant was founded in 1973 in the heart of SoHo. The Restaurant quickly became a neighborhood fixture, serving up fresh, healthy cuisine at affordable prices to local denizens. In 1985 Spring Street Natural moved east to the corner of Spring and Lafayette. Tripling our space and adding abundant sunlight and windows, Spring Street Natural blossomed at this new corner location along with the surrounding area in what has become a vibrant neighborhood on the convergent edge of SoHo and NoLIta.
Service there sometimes leaves something to be desired. Leave time for less than prompt service.
