Stripped down

This used to be an oasis. Went there last week; it was a shaddow of its former self, very few selections,. Very sorry to see this.

Nice Quick Meal

Green Symphony was an excellent find. I needed a quick meal and was not disappointed. I got the Fakin’ BLT and it was delicious. They had several vegan options and I was impressed that they even had pre-made vegan sandwiches in their grab-and-go section. Their prices were very reasonable as well. I would definitely go back to Green Symphony.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Fair prices , Quick service

Thank you 감사합니다

They don’t have vegan sushi anymore, their dumpling using egg white to seal it so it’s not hundred percent vegan. I order the coleslaw, cucumber salad and soba noodle and beets, all are vegan😄

Good quick meal in theater district

Bowl was fine and filling with brown rice with cooked cauliflower, kale, tofu and edamame. I’d return for a quick meal pre-theater.

Pros: Convenient location

Cons: Only a few table.

Disappointing

My bowl was pretty good, but a bit light on ingredients other than rice and lettuce. Kale salad was plain. Peanut chocolate cookie dry and plain.
Convenient, but we won’t go back

Confusing information

I think vegan labels next to the meals would be ideal. Also there's wrong labeling for the Soba noodles, it says they are vegan but on the same label it says it contains honey, therefore is not.

Pros: Everything looks good on the line, The place is clean

Cons: Missing and/or wrong information , More allergen information would be great, Team members could be more knowledged in the menu

Delicious healthy food

Had dinner here after a long travel day and the food was great. We went back for a quick breakfast the next day since it was across from our hotel.

Pros: Healthy , Fast, Affordable

Good vegan options

I had a green smoothie and some vegan baked goods. All satisfactory. Convenient if you're staying in midtown.

Nice little place in the theater district

My daughter and I had limited time for lunch prior to seeing a Broadway show and Green Symphony hit the spot. Nice selection of hot, cold, premade and prepackaged foods, many vegetarian and vegan. The gentleman behind the counter was considerate of food allergies as well. The food did take a while to come out, but we made it to the show in time.

Pros: Selection, Knowlege of food allergies, fresh ingredients

Cons: Slow, Not a lot of tables

Great options, and cheap prices!

Wonderful choices for vegans, including home made pastries and a huge salad bar, dishes and a buffet filled with great food. Highly recommended!

Somewhere to eat near Times Square

Time Square is not the best place for vegetarians or vegans to find food--and towards curtain time it is not easy to maneuver around the Time Square area, so your choices can really be limited. If you want to eat something before seeing a play, and are in a bit of a rush , this place is fine. They have some nice vegan options--it is not gourmet, but if you're hungry, the food is by no means bad. The setting is not elegant: there are some places to sit in the within a store. In all, this is not the type of place that I would make a special journey to go to. On the other hand, if you're seeing a play nearby and want a quick bite, this'll do.

Pros: Convenient to Time Square area, Decent, convenient place

Cons: Not fancy or gourmet

Great smoothies

This is a fine place in the area if you’re looking for a quick bite. I would come here mainly for the smoothies—they have an extensive selection.

Fine vegan for those into congealed buffet options

This locale shouldn't be on any Happy Cow map. Nothing more than a very typical Manhattan bodega whose staff don't give a rat's behind who walks in the door.

Pros: No pros-this is a misleading destination for any v

Perfect if you are on the go

Green symphony is a great vegetarian option if you are in the neighborhood (that has mostly big chains and touristy places). We went there for a hearty breakfast before catching a bus at port authority (around the corner).
They have a buffet but not for breakfast. Food is made with quality ingredients and smoothies are really tasty!

Pros: inexpensive, fast, friendly staff

Cons: not cosy
