It is good to have an asian vegan place on the upper east side - Edit
I had read good things about the restaurant, so I went to check it out. There aren't many vegan restaurants on the upper east side. I thought that it was cool that they offer dim sum that was gluten-free. The staff was very friendly. We got takeout. My husband had the Yakisoba, and I had the Jap Chae. The Jap Chae wasn't bad, but a little oily. The Yakisoba was very greasy, and my husband didn't like it .
Read morePros: offers gluten free, offers dim sum, good option for vegan asian food on the upper east
Cons: oily, a bit on the pricier side

The best vegan Asian food ever! - Edit
I really enjoyed eating here. I have no idea how I hadn’t discovered this place before! The food was delicious. I often have a problem at restaurants that the food is overly salty and overly oily, however this was not the case here. I had the baked eggplant appetizer and the sweet and sour soy protein. So good! I also received a complimentary miso soup which was the best miso soup I’ve ever had tbh. I got to chat with the owner who has been vegan for 32 years! I highly recommend this place to everyone. I’ll be back for sure.

Good Eats on the Upper East Side - Edit
My boyfriend and I went to Ginger Root before a spa appointment nearby. Otherwise, it's not a place I would have gone, as it's sort of off the beaten path, far away from any tourist attractions. There was a bit of confusion as to the opening time, as some signs say 11:00, while others say 11:30, but we did get in shortly after 11:00. We both ended up getting lunch specials, which come with a decent miso soup, a nice spring roll, brown rice, and a slice of pumpkin. I got a soy protein dish that came with pea pods, while my boyfriend got a seitan dish with kale. They were both pretty good. And the price was also really good.
Read moreI wouldn't travel to the Upper East Side just to go to the restaurant, but if you're in the area, it's a good place to get an inexpensive meal.
Pros: Good food, especially if you get the lunch special, Good service
Cons: Off the beaten path, Conflict in opening time

I was the only one sitting... mostly delivery ... But the owner was very nice .. i've ordered Bi him Bop .. First i've got a pumpkins soup - it was yummy !
Read moreThe dish was wonderful, way too big for one person. The kimchi was very tasty .. but still I had to get more kimchi hot sauce . Good dish, a bit pricy ... but still 5 stars for Vegan good healthy food!
If you in the area, go sit there.
Pros: tasty and healthy, nice vibe, traditional kimchi
Cons: I'm used to eat hot dish... only the rice was warm

Panda express for vegans, but better! - Edit
If we could, we would eat here every single day- and inside we talked with a few regulars that really do come in every day!
Read moreThe staff is very nice and the place is clean and in a wonderful neighborhood.
We ordered the sweet and sour soy protein, bi bim bap, and jap chae. All three were absolutely amazing!
Not only that, but their portion sizes are huge!! We could barely eat it all and still had leftovers!
Pros: Large portion sizes, Good food and great staff, Clean store and neighborhood

Mostly delicious! - Edit
Loved the Singapore Mai Fun Noodles snd the Smoked Teriyaki Seitan and the eggplant with miso starter were amazing!! However the Green Papaya Salad was a real disappointment, how about taking a stab at home made dressing with fresh garlic, chills and lime juice? And where was the cilantro? Let me know if I can help.
Read morePros: Tasty noodles and seitan
Cons: Salads making skills needed

Way better than expected! - Edit
The menu offers a dizzying array of options, so tried something (black pepper seitan) I don’t typically order and it was fantastic! Pan fried dumplings were best I’ve had in a very long time. Delivery was 20 minutes ahead of expectation!

It is pretty close to my place and I know there are plenty of other vegans restaurants around but it is so difficult to not choose Ginger Root. It’s my favorite restaurant in my area.
