Review: This place is really great. Food was fresh and delicious. Try the miso spread on some cornbread! Clean, freindly, tasty, and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for?

Review: i found this restaraunt on this website and it was in a area of newyork that i was visiting anyway so i thought i would check it out and i am so glad i did! it is an amazing place you walk in and the waitress takes you to your seat and there is also a communal table so if you are on your own you can sit and meet other people! when you are seated at your table you are given cutlery chop sticks and water! the staff were very helpfull and eager to give advise on the menu! i had the Mixed Sprout Salad - a refreshing toss of snow pea shoots, sunflower sprouts & seeds, and mint; mixed with cabbage, daikon and carrots in a cool mint vinaigrette. Adorned with toasted peanuts, onion sprouts and watercress With Tofu All the ingredients are very fresh and organic it was a truly wonderful feast and relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the big apple and gave me strength to continue enjoying the rest of the city!
i recomend it to anyone who is visiting the city even if its out of your way it is definatly worth a visit!!

 
Pros: great food * fresh & organic * large portions
Cons: cant think of any * *

Review: I came here with my non-vegan family and we all had a wonderful time. My sandwich was wonderful, and my cousin was raving about her Dragon Bowel. My mother got a type of spaghetti and meatballs dish, the meatballs being mushroom and tofu, which were amazing! We all shared the vanilla-hazelnut torte at the end, which was divine. If you're in the area, definitely visit.

P.S. I didn't think $66 for the four of us with 3 drinks, 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, and one dessert was too pricey at all.

 
Pros: Friendly Wait Staff * Atmosphere * Food
Cons: Slightly Slow Service * *

"Best Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant EVER!"

Review: I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I do enjoy eating vegan/vegetarian food on occasion, so I've been to quite a few restaurants in the genre. Out of all of these restaurants, nothing comes close to Angelica Kitchen. It is definitely the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to, and I just wish it was closer to where I live.

My favorite dish at Angelica Kitchen is definitely the Dragon Bowl, which generally consists of rice, tofu, lentils, kale, zucchini, carrots, and some wonderful seaweed (which comes in delicious varieties that I've never seen before).

It's a little expensive, but compared to other vegan restaurants, the quantity and quality of the food seems to beat all of the competition!

I have some pictures of my last Dragon Bowl at the restaurant here:

Pros: excellent food * large portions * delicious
Cons: expensive * too far from where I live * hard to park

Review: This is a good place to go to get a delicious wholesome fresh meal. You can really tell that they use the freshest ingredients possible. I admire that they only accept cash. I wish all places could get away with that. More money for employees and growers. Credit card companies are nasty.
 
Pros: Food * Service * Ethics
Cons: Expensive * *

Review: well, first off...only cash premise because they save money this way rather using machine purchases but, its already overpriced. tends to attract solo diner's like myself but not sure if it's what i ordered but the stew was not that great and the coconut vegan cookie tasted old.

Review: I love their sandwiches they really hit the spot after walking around aimless for hours. No, I did not see Adrian Grenier - who frequents the place - but I got over it once I bit into my succulent tofu sandwich and sipped my wonderful soup.

Review: This is just a nice / clean / hip vegan place to rest your feet. The food is healthy waiters nice. For those reviewers below that didn't like the food please try a sandwich, they are really great. I had the same reactions with their rolls, etc, but the Sandwiches are where its at.

Review: Went for lunch (vegan reuben sandwich, tea, dessert) and found it a nice space, very full of beautiful people having a very trendy lunch. But it's popular and pretentious because it's food is EXCELLENT! Service inattentive and slow.

Review: Judging by my only trip to this establishment, I would say that Angelica's has a warm atmosphere and lives up to its gourmet reputation. My girlfriend and I were both more than satisfied with our meal and the service, even in comparison to the dozen other gourmet vegan restaurants we have been to. However, we are both willing to embrace foods which are more 'earthy' (this is a 'macrobiotic' restaurant, after all) and we have only been here once. All in all, worth checking out at least once.
 
Pros: good food * friendly service * nice atmosphere
Cons: * *

Review: This is is a very inventive restaurant with fresh, healthy ingredients and great attention to detail. I have been a few times and each time have had a great meal. All vegan (I think) and lots to choose from. A quirky, hippyish venue with the emphasis definately on tasty, full flavoured vegan food.
 
Pros: inventive cooking * vegan friendly * excellent service
Cons: * *

Review: You know when the water tastes macro, its all over. terrible. I went two or three times since others swore by it and I thought maybe I just hit them on a few bad nights. I felt like I was eating barf. Left hungry since the food was usually inedible, and way overpriced at that.
 
Pros: they try apparently * *
Cons: water tasted dirty * cost *

Review: I've noticed a lot of complaints about the atmposphere...if you go around 2-5 in the afternoon (turnover time) you won't have to deal with cramped quarters. The food, for me at least, is consistantly good and although the menu doesn't change that often, the daily soup is probably the best in the city.
Go for the walnut lentil pate, marinated tofu sandwich, hot open face tempeh with mashed potatoes, any of the daily specials or soup.

Skip hummus (not a mediterranean place), dessert and chili.

Bring cash and for god's sake, turn off your cell phone!

You can't make a reservation so don't bother on a friday or saturday night...the wait can get up to an hour and a half.

 
Pros: all organic * consistant quality *
Cons: cash only * long wait *
