Little Beet

My first time ever coming here. The food is amazing, spectacular. Whole30 bowl is phenomenal. Out of this world.

My first visit to this location was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Food’s good, but not cheap. Most of the staff work in the own food stations, and pass to the next person when you done with their station. I forgot to ask corns, so I asked the person worked at the meat/protein station, and the person couldn’t understand but keep asking back “pork?”. Nothing special about the service, will definitely order online if there’s next time.

Tasty foods, friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. Overall satisfactory but seemed a bit short-staffed so I chose 4 stars for the service.

Amazing healthy food and perfect on salt. - Homemade Siracha - Beet Hummus - All veggies - Black bean & Corn Review on 4/10 Awsome food and looks very colorful. Perfectly baked beet falafel (never had before) yummy taste and crispy turmeric almonds. Wish there was Jalapeño option to add.

Ok I thought what a great idea , on paper they offer ultra healthy option but the load everything with salt that it’s almost inedible. It’s known so much slat is not good for you , high blood pressure & kidneys will take a hit. I would skip until they sort this out.

Healthy vegetarian - low fodmap - GF options. Definitely would come back here! I had the low fodmap bowl. Delicious!

First time eating here. We where looking for something else and stumbled upon the little beet. The ordering was simple and creative, choose your protein base and other add ons and sauces. It’s vegan and boy was this food delicious. I got brown rice with chicken with beans and spicy sauces. It was delicious and I would go back. Fairly inexpensive as well. Service was great.

I always enjoy the food and service.....However, the music selection today was really tone-deaf. Diddy was in the rotation and it just reaffirms how morally bankrupt and misogynistic American society is.

Great place, incredible food and great service! TJ just made me an incredibly delicious Pork Bowl. Place is super healthy too! Come here now!

Great place for a takeout lunch. Healthy crush options and the roast pork is one of the best in the neighborhood.

One of my fav lunch places honestly. The sweet potatoes and avocado and sauces are all so good! I'm always happy and always have leftovers for dinner!

My coworkers encouraged me to go here because it is close to my job. Like any place nearby I budget $20 for this excursion. To my surprise, it ran me below my expectations (~$14). But, depending on what you add, you can definitely get there. I ordered personalized bowl but there were some highlights. Beet Falafel: It has a denser texture to most traditional falafel. It's almost "meaty" but, relatively bland. It is a nice source of plant protein meatball. Spicy noodle salad: To be honest, I really liked this for all the wrong reasons. It was more acidic than spicy and I am sucker for vinegar. The noodles were nice and not overly soft. All in all, for the price, I would go again. It's nice place to get food. My only concern is that there is alot of salt so, be careful with the different sauces P.S: Just make sure to come before the lunch rush or order online.

Extremely poor marks for food safety. Love(d) their Yuzu Poke Bowl until my last visit when I witnessed the lady who had been rinsing a rag in cleaning solution and wiping down the service counter proceed to use her hand, not a serving utensil, to scoop out salmon poke to refill the serving container. The image of her slapping and pressing the salmon poke while wearing the same hand-glove covered with cleaning solution and germs from the rag is completely unappetizing, not to mention unsafe. Really unfortunate because Little Beet was my 'go-to' lunch destination.

I didn't take a picture but the food was amazing. I had the basmati rice w sweet potatoes, string beans, salmon and pork. The food was good and fresh. Every worker at this location has great customer service. I told my server I've never eaten there and she gave me a recommendation. My coworker went there after me and said the same thing. Bravo guys!

Built my own bowl, the tofu, sweet potato, rice and chimichurri sauce was so good! Never heard of Little beets before but glad I tried it!

Food was tasty, healthy and good portions size. The line moved quickly which is always a plus for a mid week lunch. It was a little bit expensive but I think I added too many toppings, back to my earlier comment - lol.

Walked a ways to get here and I was pleased! The food in the assembly line looks fresh and well prepared. For some reason the staff didn't realize they were out of salmon when I asked and had to cook it right then which an inconvenience but I had time so it was fine. My order: Field Greens, charred zucchini, seared salmon (cooked perfectly), chickpea Greek salad & super seeds. Oh and I highly recommend trying the chimichurri sauce if you're ok with a strong garlic flavor !! It was also very nice to be able to sit and eat inside however I didn't see sanitation between visits and there was no access to hand sanitizer. Nevertheless I want to go back!!

I've ordered online here from their app several times over the past few months. The past 5 times we've gotten the wrong orders -- missing proteins, missing sides, missing sauces, wrong base, etc. I've sent numerous emails and complaints with pictures/proof to let them know so it doesn't happen to other customers. I've gotten zero responses from the company nor any attempt to try and remedy. Terrible customer service time and time again.

I ordered lunch via the Little Beet app last week, but when I arrived 20 minutes later my food wasn't ready. After waiting a bit someone started making my order (salmon with green beans and zucchini). Unfortunately they were out of green beans, and had just one small piece (tiny piece) of salmon left. Rather strange for 1:30pm on a weekday but the chef said he wasn't making any more of anything so that was that. So I requested a refund....which I had to wait forever for. The cashier handed me a receipt that read "void" on it. But as I suspected, my card was charged. Ultimately I disputed the charge with Amex so it wasn't a bit deal but seriously, this location is terrible. I had such a good experience with the Little Beet on the UES so I guess I'll just return to that location next time around.

I LOVE THE LITTLE BEET. I've tried the location at the Westchester in White Plains and it's so amazing. A lot more calm that's for sure. Once I was in the city and in desperate need of something quick and fresh I knew I had to try one of these locations. It's just like walking into a chipotle except you first pay and pre order your food and toppings. They take care of adding everything and you just pick it up once it's ready. Just make sure to hear your name get called. You may order ahead of time via the little beet app and just pick it up. Of course, this location is swamped during lunch time so I'd definitely suggest to order ahead if you're in a rush. Ingredients are so fresh and delicious. Big portions that will have you filled up but with plenty of nutrients. In season produce available as well. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, quick and ready to go. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. All sides are gluten free. What is there not to love about this place?

I had never heard about Little Beet until a friend mentioned it for lunch one afternoon. In NYC they have all sorts of places like this. Each have a theme and pride themselves on being healthy options. This falls into that category. It is a quick service operation and sort of like a spinoff of dig inn. Since it is called little beet I had to try the beet falafel. It was one of the more interesting things I have had but I can't say it was bad. I ordered a bunch of veggies on it that all tasted like they were cooked fresh. It is kind of expensive honestly but it is NYC and they have rent to pay. I will say the store was very clean. They are busy during the lunch hour so there may be a small wait. Overall, I was pretty happy with it. Looks like they have multiple locations so glad to see people like it. If you like dig inn you will like this place.

Been ordering my lunches from here on office days and am extremely happy with the food. Tasty, hearty portions. Especially love their sauces and beet falafels. Haven't dined inside so can't speak for service or ambience.

Delicious and nutritious food. Love how they focus on a paleo style for most menu items. Everything tasted amazing and wholesome. I loved their turmeric sauce. The spiced tofu was pretty good too. The turmeric almonds and super seeds at the end are a must to add- they pack in a nutritious and delicious crunch. I highly recommend this place and hope I can visit again!

Lots of food choices * Several plant-based options, including plant protein * Portions are very generous and low-priced * Food quality & taste are slightly above average * Unfortunately, their cutlery is single-use plastic -- not even recycled. (Restaurant owner, please use a compostable cutlery!)

I have been able to try new restaurants all because new mealpal On this day, I decided to pick up the meal here after I saw the meal was jack fruit platter. I had only tried the bbq jack fruit which had a meat consistency once before and it was delicious. The place used local, seasonal and natural ingredients basically farm to table meals. It was located on W. 51 St by Park Ave (even though address is Park Ave). It has a door cover to prevent the whole restaurant from being cold. Came in and was looking for the QR cold. I noticed it was on the wall next to the meal. All the meals were made and stacked against the wall on the right hand side. You scanned and pick up the meal. The whole process was on the honor system. The dine-in seats are in the middle of the restaurant. This meal consists of organic quinoa, bbq jackfruit, charred onions, black beans, chipotle slaw, golden beets, sesame seeds, avocado, pickled onions, chipotle aioli (gf & vegan). This was delicious, filling and I couldn't believe it is vegetarian. Can't wait to try this again and other dishes.

We found this place by accident. We were supposed to try Just Salad but we were having a hard time locating it and when we did we noticed The Little Beet right next door. We went in just to see what was on the menu and boy were we glad to find this gem. I had the Yuzu Poké bowl it had cooked salmon, brown rice, ginger, avocado and red cabbage. The combination was absolutely delicious. My coworker ordered the falafel squash bowl and she was very satisfied with her meal as well. Over all, this place by far is one of the most amazing lunches I ever had in the city.

Ok so everyone that reads my reviews know that I am usually a carnivore so when I do venture into a salad or vegetarian friendly place, it's gotta live up to the hype. This place is fairly new to the hood and is already a very well run machine. Tried and true formula, you get on an assembly line ordering system - choose your salad base, the main ingredients and select toppings. I had the "healthy salad" on this visit and all the ingredients were very fresh. The citrus yuzu dressing gave it a nice sour and tart finish. I totally recommend. The ingredients are from locally sourced farmers and their motto is "what grows together goes together"...catchy. Everything did look fresh (even if my photos didn't show it) but I was rushing so couldn't do that and order at the same time. LOL Tips to share: the ingredients could be seasonal so don't expect it to always look the same. So on that note, if you have a favorite, check your local store location online first to see if it's available. And the menu is Gluten-Free.

The Quick: So many delicious healthy options! Lines shorter than most salad spots. Vegan options that are not just lettuce. The Details: Most healthy foods can be boring, but this spot is excellent with tons of lunch options. The line is never as crazy as some of its competitors in the area, and it's just more interesting. Sustainable ingredients you feel good about eating!! The Damage: Most lunches I get are around $9

Pro tip, must order online if you're going during lunch rush. It's so quick to pick up your order if you order online instead of waiting on the super long line. I come here often for lunch and it's one of my favorite fast-casual places. The broccoli rabe and white beans is my jam. So is the bbq jackfruit (SO GOOD!), the sweet potatoes, beet hummus, charred broccoli, the list goes on. Need a bit of crunch in your life? Add the superseeds (or the superseed avocado if you're feeling fancy) and everything tastes that much better. Always looking forward to getting lunch from little beet!

If you're looking for food that super healthy but tastes more flavorful than something that looks super healthy, The Little Beet is your place! The lunch crowd packs this place in but if you get here right at 12 or after 1, you're sure to move quickly through the line. I went with two coworkers/friends that had been before and was excited to try the Brussel Hustle. This salad is out of this world! Shaved brussel sprouts, over a bed of lettuce, seeds, avocado, pecorino cheese, pickled onions, chicken, the works! It was so good and so filling that I left half of it and totally forgot to take it home for later....Whomp whomp. They have one other salad that I believe is heavier on the avocado (I'm not the biggest avocado fan **I know what KIND of Millennial am I?!**) so I probably won't be trying that one. They also have a choose your own system where you pick and choose from proteins and sides and ultimately create a plate to your liking. The sweet potato mac & cheese and even the bbq tofu looked delicious. They also offer FREE water (unheard of in Manhattan) if you want to stay in but not buy one of the fancy overpriced drinks in the fridge. There's a few tables if you decide to stick around and eat but move quick once you finish since there's always a wait. I knocked off a star because of the prices. Look, I get it, it's the city. Yes, typically lunch is expensive 'round these parts. But $12 for a salad (which yes is filling and yes is quite delicious) is way too expensive. Will I come here in the future? Absolutely. Will it become a weekly lunch spot? Never. I'm grateful they offer the free water if you dine-in and the line does move quick and the employees are always in a good mood BUT the prices are ridiculous. I do love The Little Beet, though. Healthy food that's actually delicious? Sign me up.

I'm giving it a 2* although I really like this place. The food is very good. The service is usually very good. However, the 2* is for the serving size. The portion size use to be ample. It's seems like now they give you a 1/2 cup, if that. The last few times I had the shaved Brussels sprouts, pretty much no shaving at all. Pretty disappointed. I gave them a 3rd chance today. I don't think the serving size is worth the money. Just my opinion.

this location has gone down hill, but i'm hopeful they will turn it around because there are a few locations with incredible customer service. little beet is a 100% gluten-free eatery. basic staff training should include awareness of food allergies. i came here 3x in one week, and emani refused to serve me within +/- 30 min of closing. i told her my husband can't eat anything else at this hour, and she LAUGHED. so, an employee wanting to go home early(er) could mean the difference between someone being able to eat at night, or not. davis saved our dinner on the 3rd night and even offered to make more food in the back.

I decided to choose this place for lunch since the option on MealPal looked very appealing. It was salad with sesame avocado, sweet potato's, dried cherries with dressing. All I have to say is unbeatable and a what a nice size portion. This place is a hidden gem so keep in mind even though it says 51st and Park it's actually between Park & Madison.

Good food. I don't like how burnt the sweet potatoes are. The burnt parts seem unhealthful. Also, broccoli is way too salty. The app is terrible. Phone communication also bad. Times Square location - Gary! makes better potatoes. people answering sometimes dont speak english or don't understand. If they improved Id eat here everyday with friends

Delicious and reasonably priced meal (~$13). There was a line at lunch time (lots of business people rolling through ) but the line moved quickly. I made my own bowl - as pictured. Flavors were great and the I appreciated the portion size. The beet falafel was a tad dry but paired nicely with the hummus and avocado topping. Definitely would return!

This is my 2nd time ordering and both times I placed an order for chicken and received pork. The first time I wasn't too sure but I didn't like the taste of it and when I looked online to place an order today from the picture I realized it was a mistake. It's concerning because mistaking pork for chicken goes against multiple religions and to replace someone's choice of chicken to pork is completely unacceptable. It is literally the day after Eid Mubarak. When I called I spoke to a gentleman who clearly knew what had been done to my order as if it was done often. He placed me on hold and finally a woman answered when I explained the situation she just said ok like it was no big deal and she didn't really care. I had to repeat myself 3 times and she wasn't actually listening to me. Her customer service was terrible and she sees nothing wrong with this behavior. She said it was just a simple mistake not knowing that this was the 2nd time. I am currently waiting for a replacement order which I'm not sure how or when I will receive it.

I work in midtown and The Little Beet is one of the many 'lunch bowl' type spots in the area. I've been here several times now and it's definitely one of the better options!! The food tastes fresh, yummy and healthy and the food options are unique (unlike your typical Mexican/Mediterranean options). It's a great place for vegetarians/vegans and meat eaters both! They also have interesting protein options like beet falafel and bbq jackfruit...yum! The build your own bowls run about $10-15 which is pretty standard as far as these lunch bowl places go. I recommend getting the level up app and you will get $5 off your first order

Clean. Fast. Yummy food. Good service. Obviously this is not a sit down restaurant. But it is a Perfect lunch spot for a busy day!

This was an outstanding find in New York City during a recent trip. The Little Beet's entire menu is gluten-free, which was an immediate win. It is a typical pick-your-own ingredients for a bowl place. I opted to go with the Jack Bowl, which had jack fruit, organic quinoa, onions, black beans, chipotle slaw, avocado, pickled onions and chipotle aioli. It was amazing and a perfect portion for lunchtime. Even though the line was long when I entered, it moved quickly and I received my food in a reasonable amount of time.

The food was delicious and very fresh! I tried Little Beet at a conference but the bowls were pre-made so I wanted to try it fresh. I decided to go with the salmon over brown rice with the shredded brussel sprouts and roasted kale as my two veggie options. I played around with sauces and tried both the sweet chili and chipotle aioli. I was super pleased with my meal and thought the flavors blended well. The restaurant was a bit crowded which made ordering sort of hectic but the team handled it relatively well.

As so many others have so clearly expressed, this is a "poor man's Dig Inn". For days when you don't have enough time to walk over to the actual Dig Inn and have to make do with the one nearby. I had the salmon poke bowl, which is ok. Comes with marinated salmon, brown rice, watermelon radish, guac (the highlight), sushi ginger, scallions, and their signature slaw. The slaw tasted off but I can't quite figure out why. Everything else is ok just marginally not as good as Dig Inn. Also there were two random dry pistachios somewhere in my bowl (not sure if part of slaw) that almost broke my teeth. That and a drink (small kombucha) set me back for about $20, quite pricey for what it is. TBH idk why there's still a premium to NYC style "poke" when any deli can throw a bunch of things together and label as such... Overall, expensive for what it is. The food can be improved.

Trendy lunch spots are all the rage. And while I'm normally not one to spend $12+ on lunch, LB surpassed my expectations. While solid ingredients are their mainstay, my usual lunch must fall under the category of "what can fill me the most before heading into this 2-hour meeting" In terms of picking, their beet falafel wasn't too shabby. Get all the sweet potatoes to your heart's content.

I don't usually work around midtown east and most places in the area are sit-down restaurants, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to try this fast casual joint! The place was very clean and the line moved relatively fast/efficiently. My choice of the day was the Jack Bowl which has BBQ jackfruit, sesame avocado, some greens, black beans, quinoa, and some kind of spicy sauce that almost tasted like sriracha. Disclaimer: I am not vegan, but wow the BBQ jackfruit actually tasted like pulled pork; I would have been tricked if they didn't tell me! The ingredients were fresh, clean tasting, and satisfying to the palate. After finishing the meal I wasn't too full, but not left starving. Initially, I didn't expect much from this place but I'd definitely come back to try their other options or make my own bowl.

This might've been the best vegan bowl I've had all year. It was seriously delicious. There were so many options to add/subtract from the menu items so you are sure to create something you'll love. This place is right on that corner so it's super easy to spot. A bonus was the really cute and cozy decor. I'd go again!

I kinda love the concept of these lunch bowl places, and the Little Beet is definitely one of the better takes on it. It's like the "Garanimals" of lunch...you really can't screw it up. They give you a nice big portion of fresh, tasty stuff. You can mix it all around and generally it works out pretty terrific. Yesterday I had a beet falafel over quinoa with vegan slaw and shredded brussels, with a little chili garlic sauce and some pickled onions. Absolutely delicious and satisfying (and pretty darned vegetarian, too!)

Just had the Farmer, it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff amazing, friendly and professional. Definitely recommend this place.

I placed and paid for a delivery order online. They called me back in 20 minutes and said they were out of the sweet potatoes that I ordered. I had ordered a meal with them and a separate large side. I don't like the other vegetables they have on the menu. They asked if I wanted a refund and I said yes. They said they would refund my card immediately. The next day the charge was still on my card. I called the store again and spoke to the manager that said they would refund my card and don't know why they didn't last night. A week later and the charge is still on my card. I called again and they told me to deal with my credit card company. That is simply HORRIBLE customer service.

Great spot to pick up lunch. Similar style to dig inn and other places that let you choose your base, a protein and two sides. I did the spirulna brown rice, chicken, charred broccoli and green beans, topped with the walnut red pepper paste and turmeric almonds. Everything was soo good especially the chicken which wasn't dry at all but super flavorful and fragrant. The side dishes were fresh and tasty and the almonds added a good crunch to the meal.

I love this place. The food is so good. How ever I've had a few issues. I asked for no chicken in my salad and got chicken bits in my salad. I've had my delivery arrive with the lid off and food in the bag itself. My most recent issue was my side of broccoli. I know this is nyc and portions are small but they barley gave me any. So my conclusion is the food is great so I keep trying with bad end results

Finally got the MealPal app. Had their power vegetarian bowl which was yum. The sweet potatoes and sauce were amazing. When I went in to pick-up my order, I was so shocked to see how crazy the lunch line... I mean this place could set you back if you order every day all for quinoa, sauces, and a few veggies maybe a protein thrown in... it's nothing innovative or crazy good. On the plus side, I am glad the meal was healthy, well portioned, and tasty, but if it wasn't on the app as an option, I definitely would not go out of my way to come here.

Update: I was informed that there's been an issue with the online ordering system, which shouldn't be a problem any longer, and I was reimbursed for that meal. Let me preface this by saying the food is great and the people who work here do a great job. Ingredients are fresh, healthy, and everything taste great. Today I had to wait 40 minutes for my scheduled online order. No update, no notification, nothing. While I'm glad the Little Beet is gaining popularity. The store is becoming unbearably crowded (even by midtown lunch time standards). I switched to online ordering exclusively to avoid this, and I even factor in that sometimes on busy days, my order may be 10mins late or so; but 40 mins- that's my entire lunch break! Also when I got my order, the portion of Salmon was pretty small (see pic), considering its $2 extra and farmed as opposed to wild caught (Digg Inn offers Alaskan salmon). I like this place and I hope they can start better managing capacity and volume; at least provide clearer expectations on wait times.

I'm actually obsessed with the place, it's my favorite lunch spot. I've tried almost everything and there was not one thing I did not like. Food is so flavorful and delicious, but still healthy. I don't have any picture because I usually eat my food before I can even take any.

MealPal: Brussels, Beets and Lentil This was a really good bowl. The avocado yuzu spread was delicious and made the dish pop. Monday, May 14, 2018 MealPal: Brussel Hustle Bowl Shaved Brussels sprouts Tuesday, July 3, 2018 Braised Pork Plate Thursday, July 12, 2018

The Little Beet is a fast-casual heaven for vegans (and non vegans). So many vegan options, clearly labeled on the menu, hearty, healthy and so satisfying. Today I had the seared tofu (good); roasted kale with chickpeas (added protein in a veggie side - yay), cranberries and tahini (so good); quinoa (more protein in a veggie side - yay) with spring peas and radishes (this was a little less satisfying than the rest); and roasted leeks and parsnips (so good); and the avocado white bean dip as the sauce (more protein AND avocado that didn't cost extra!). I tried a bite of my friend's charred sweet potato and it was incredible - the perfect blend of sweet and salty. All of this was about $11, which isn't bad for a high quality, protein rich lunch in Midtown. Vegans, add this to your lunch rotation and bring your carnivore friends - there is something for everyone here.

I stumbled upon The Little Beet from mealpal and was very excited to try this bowl. I got the Miso Chicken brown rice bowl. It came with slaw, romaine lettuce, seaweed (wish there was more), and a healthy douse of miso-ginger glaze. I thought it was really good and flavorful - a tad on the saltier side, but overall I would get this again. It's definitely on the pricier side for lunch, but if it's good I don't mind.

Food is good, but don't go at lunch time, it's a mob scene They are good at taking your money, bad at ever delivering

The broccoli rabe and white beans are really freakin weird. They're kinda bitter and covered in a Strange red oil and have a mint aftertaste? And maybe some sort of bitter wine vinegar? It's really strange. Why I keep forcing myself to eat this I have no idea. It's bad. But I keep doing it. I can't bring myself to waste this 14 dollar food. Why has my mom conditioned me like this. The chicken is good! It's moist and flavored lightly so the sauce combinations are great to go on top. The chimichurri is good and so is the spicy mayo type of stuff they have. The roasted sweet potatoes are delicious!!! Sometimes they're a little oil heavy but none the less, delicious. And the basamanti rice is also great! You should come here. It's expensive so you better have that finance bro or bro-ess $hmoney. But throw it down to feel and also look healthy af walking back into your office with your compostable packaging and vegan jack fruit bbq. You are. Health monster. Killing the game.
