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

The food here is delicious. Extensive menu too. The prices are straight from the 90s. Unfortunately so is the amount of plastic used to package each order.

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

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!
Read morePros: Quick delivery, Amazing amount of options , Delicious!!
Cons: None

Amazing - Edit
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.

Great vegan/Asian spot in UES - Edit
Weekday during lunch wasn’t busy at all, we didn’t need a reservation. Service was on point and very fast. The spring roll that came with the fish was delicious, salad was fresh and soup felt great in the the chilly afternoon. The stir fried Singapore Mai-Fun was pretty spicy 🌶. In the end it was a lot of food, quite cheap.

Tasty food - Edit
We had a very delicious meal here. We started with miso soup and the tofu skin wraps. For our entrees we had General Tso's Soy Protein and Pad Thai. Both were very good. I appreciated that they serve brown rice.
Read moreThe only complaints were that when we asked for plates, since we were eating family style, we were given tiny appetizer plates. And the waiter planted himself in one place and my companion felt uncomfortable and felt like he was being stared at the whole time we were there. On the plus side, we received good service since he could see when we needed something!
Pros: delicious food, so many choices!
Cons: small plates

Good food, bad acoustics - Edit
The food here is pretty good and the prices are decent for NYC. I’ve eaten here several times and each time even if there are 1-2 other tables of people, the echoes from their conversations make this place really loud and annoying. The acoustics take a lot away from the experience. The staff are fine.
