AMAZING - Edit
I often pick up some VLife prior to leaving the city on a bus somewhere. The food is seriously so good - not necessarily the healthiest - but it won't make you feel terrible either. There's a wide variety of choices, but I wouldn't suggest eating in either. The space is quite small.

Best food since arriving in NYC - Edit
Great take away option for travelling as close to Penn Station. Yum! Lots of options. Bit messy to eat and once the cheese melted out of the wrap join and out onto the paper it felt like dissecting to eat it!!! Min card spend $10
Read morePros: Smiley waitress, Handy location
Cons: Wraps a bit messy to eat!, Cheese melted out of wrap on to paper , Door hardly opens so for skinny vegans only!!

All vegan place - Edit
It's nice that it is a all vegan place.
Read moreFrom outside it was really strange since it looked closed, now inside it's nicely decorated place, now not very clean.
The staff was not very communicative, now were very friendly, so its maybe just shy.
Nice vegan food and big choice, now nothing special.
Pros: Good vegan food
Cons: None

i really wanted to like this place - Edit
i really did want to like this place, but it was cramped and dirty. The counter people were inattentive, the tables weren't clean and the trash cans were overflowing. The food was tasty but not overwhelming.

The BEST vegan fast food in NYC! - Edit
VLife is a CONSTANT in our vegan lives. Given their incredible selection of healthy and junk food options!
Read moreFood *****
Hands down the BEST vegan quesadillas we have EVER had. Their tapioca cheese is DELISH! The combination of soy protein, quacamole, hummus, and tapioca cheese is like nothing you've tasted. Additionally, every other menu item we've tried is made with consistency and care.
Atmosphere **
This is definitely a place you want to order out from or take out from. The atmosphere deserves two stars because of the noise, business, and cleanliness of the front area.
Service ****
Always on time and if they ever mess up they are quick to fix!
Price $
Very affordable for all socioeconomic statuses!
Pros: All vegan options, QUICK, Quality
Cons: Small inside eating area, Using plastic utensils

Good black bean burger - Edit
I had the “make your own burger” (black bean with avocado sauce). The burger was good and the sauce was good. Worth it if your looking for something fast. Only complaint is the size of the restaurant. I would of given it 4.5 stars.

Don't judge by size - Edit
This is a small location but my goodness the food is superb. The menu is extensive - wraps, salads, burgers, bowls. I especially like the build your own option on the menu. I chose to do this with the bbq seitan burger. Easily the best I've ever had! It was sooooo good. They also do juices and bubble tea. There's seating for 10 but great for take outs. I'll definitely be back.

Love this place! - Edit
This place has amazing food! I recommend the spicy soy wrap (had to get it twice) and the cajun curry wrap! Also the bubble tea is heavenly, the passion fruit one is my favourite! Only thing is that I wish things were cheaper... But it’s New York so lol

Big things Come in Small Packages - Edit
An Absolute delight in vegan dining. This was my 2nd visit to V Life and I was even more happy to have returned. This time I got Buffalo drunsticks (excellent) Noble Nuggets (Same as the buffalo sticks but comes with a different sauce (excellent) & Bodacious Burger & the Southwest (both delicious) I highly recommend, don't listen to the reciews that say its just okay!

I wish the food was fresher, if higher quality, and overall just tasted better. I’d honestly give VLife one star is the app allowed.

Not Bad - Edit
I had a carne/sweet plaintain/brown rice dish (the plantains were supposed to be green according to the menu, but the yellow ones they used added a nice sweetness). It was pretty good, but was something I'd expect to be served in a pie tin by a street vendor. I love cheap food, but not when it has an expensive price tag attached to it...this dish should have been around $7 for the quality and portion and it was around $11 . But it was pretty good. I also tried bubble tea for the first time (passion fruit). I really enjoyed it. They use plastic utensils and disposable cups for eat-in orders, with a non-disposable plate. Not very environmentally friendly (like so many vegan establishments, unfortunately), and I hope they improve that in the near future.
Read morePros: Good bubble tea, Good menu options
Cons: Plastic disposable dishwear
