Seasoned Vegan

Seasoned Vegan just does it for me EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!!! This is such a great restaurant for those that want to eat healthier options. I’m always so satisfied when I go here! The customer service is beautiful 🥇 I’d recommend the Harlem Chop cheese with Mac & Cheese for dinner it’s very filling!!!! I got the Chicken Parm just a few days ago an that was literally so freaking good!! 10/10. If you got a sweet tooth like me I’d recommend the Chocolate Pecan cookie it’s Fire! I promise you will not regret spending money here it’s never a long wait either. 💯🔥🔥🔥

Hubby and I finally had Seasoned Vegan yayyy! I’ve been wanting it for sooo long, but unfortunately we live too far away (Inwood) for delivery, so we ordered pick up on a Saturday during Labor Day weekend and got on the A/C train to pick it up. I chose the following for us to share: - lemon crusted chicken nuggets (4) with bbq sauce $10.50 - po’boy sandwich $13 - bbq crawfish sandwich $13 - lemon crusted fish steak with baked mac & cheese and sweet potato souflee $25 Everything was delicious!!! It’s probably better for our wallet and figure that we can’t order delivery, because I would be ordering on a weekly basis! I truly truly enjoyed the food and I look forward to our next order to pick up!

My first time here while traveling in New York. The food was delicious I got the barbecue riblets, sweet potato soufflé, and the macaroni and cheese. I was very well pleased.

I was very pleased when I was finally able to eat from this establishment. Can I just say they live up to their name. My child and I ordered two different meals. EVERYTHING was soooo good. So tasty. We actually tasted each other's meal. Mac and cheese vegan style has not always been prepared correctly. Their's is very close to mine(except they bake theirs Thank you. Compliments to the chef and we will be back.

I know you shouldn’t judge a restaurant by their takeout alone, but I have to say if the takeout is this amazing, I will probably die from deliciousness when they reopen their dining room. I got the lemon fish steak entree with caper rice and broccoli. Oh. Em. Gee. Everything was bursting with flavor. Can’t wait to go back. Oh, and the staff were equally wonderful!

As of 8/20/22 they are still not Dine-in, I am assuming due to Covid, despite saying so on Google. I wish I had known this before an out-of-state travel to try this place. My friend and I were both willing to excuse the Google mix-up if it hadn’t been for other issues. The biggest one being the horrible customer service. There was no one at the front window, but a gentleman standing off to the side apparently prepping online/pick-up orders. He never greeted us and when we asked about dining-in, he was extremely rude with his response. Flatly saying that it had been this way for two years (as if we were supposed to know that). Well after having decided on our order, my friend and I had to ask if we could place it with him since he still hadn’t come over to the window to assist us. Overlooking the passive-aggressive attitude, once our order was ready, we were then given the lovely addition that they didn’t have utensils. With a blank face“I can give you a lot of napkins. Or you can go across the street to ask for utensils at the corner store”. The food was good, yes. But I will never go back as long as they have employees working there who clearly hate their job and have no customer service skills. I understand mistakes happen, but accountability, and an “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” would’ve gone a long way. Blossom Du’Jour is a better option if you are looking for good vegan meals in the city without the attitude. It just sucks because I would rather support black owned.

Great and amazing flavors!!! Wether you’re plant based or not you will love the food here. We came in during the COVID19 pandemic so had to get the orders to go. I recommend the po boy sandwich that has lots of Louisiana style seasonings. Took a little longer than expected, which isn’t a bad thing. Must mean that they were getting lots of orders. The price was a little but more than what we were expecting to pay for the portion sizes. No complaints. Would come back to try the food and check out the atmosphere next time! 😊

What an amazing vegan spot! My boyfriend and I went last night and got the chicken parm sandwich, harlem chopped cheeseburger, mac & cheese, and raw cheesecake -everything was delicious!! Highly recommended. Kind staff and cool atmosphere. (2019) Update: went back last night for takeout. Harlem chopped cheese, BBQ crawfish, chicken nuggets, and two cupcakes: biscoff and lemon poppy. All so delicious!!!

Seasoned vegan is my absolute favorite vegan place to eat. I have been a huge fan of Seasoned vegan since they were first located Uptown. Very happy that they are now located downtown in the East Village with late night hours. The service and food are absolutely amazing. My absolute is the BBQ vegan craw fish sandwich on the pretzel bun. The fries are delicious! Could not believe how amazing they are. Last but not least.... the cupcakes. The lotus biscoff cupcake is highly addictive not sure what's the ingredients, but they taste so delicious and they are vegan. All I know is, I can't get enough of them. They are my absolute favorite. Special thank you to Chef B, Aaron, Anthony, and all of the wonderful staff that makes Seasoned Vegan a special place to eat healthy, great tasting, soulful vegan food!

I was in the area and needed a quick bite--the sign outside reads, "seasoned vegan real quick," so I took it as a sign (pun intended). There were two people at the lone outside table, but no worries, they've got a few more tables and some bar seating inside. It's counter service here, and the woman behind the counter was super friendly and made the experience. Since I'd never been before, she even let me try a few samples--always a win! The fake crawfish was a standout--nicely fried and tasted like the real deal. Definitely recommend! Most of the food options looked a bit on the heavier side, so be ready for a solid meal. I had the collared greens, which were nicely seasoned. I rounded the meal out with a mandarine soda, which was delicious. Overall, this place hit the spot for some tasty, comforting vegan food.

I loved Seasoned Vegan when Brenda was up on St. Nicholas Avenue, so I was ecstatic when she moved down to my neighborhood! Everything she serves is absolutely top-quality--fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. Her signature cupcakes are like nothing else; they're absolutely perfect! (Lurve the Red Velvet!) I love the Craw Pretzel Boy, the Mac 'n Cheese, the greens--all prepared with love and quality. And only a few blocks from my house--I'm in heaven!

Since we moved to NJ, I haven't been downtown as much as I would like. So when I saw them near by for my friend's birthday party I had to stop by. They used to have a dine in location in Harlem that sadly closed down. This one is a smaller location with smaller menu but still as delicious. We got the mac and cheese, nuggets, chopped cheese, and some cupcakes. Everything tastes so flavorful. I ordered ahead to save a little time.

I stopped at Seasoned Vegan on the way back to my hotel. I was looking for a delicious, quick vegan bite that I could take to go. I ordered the fries and craw bites. They were so delicious that I wanted to get more to go. There was enough seating for 4-6 groups of people to hang. They're open until midnight most days, so I definitely plan to come here again for a late night snack.

AMAZING!!!!! So I've been a fan since they were in Harlem, but I am here for their new era! My mom and I had the bbq crawfish sandwich and it was 10/10 AMAZING!!! The flavor was on point! I also had the nuggets, Mac, and sweet potatoes and they were super tasty as well. I especially enjoyed the Mac and cheese, and I think it may be my favorite (vegan or non vegan)! If you'd like to treat your taste buds, I strongly recommend Seasoned Vegan....but...it's so tasty you"ll be wishing for more after you finish!! They also package your food in a cute little box, which adds a nice touch!

Easily the best Vegan food I've had anywhere! The Harlem location (now closed) had a much larger menu and a spacious, vibey space to eat in. This is much more pared down and utilitarian but the food is killer, the prices great and the location is cool & easy to access. Super stoked they're here!

My wife and I flew out to NYC last Thursday to visit our daughter for a long weekend. By the time we got from JFK to her place, it was getting late (after 11PM), and most of the local East Village restaurants had already closed down. I checked Yelp and found Seasoned Vegan Real Quick -- great reviews and vegan and open until midnight. We made a beeline over. We were greeted by a very friendly guy at the counter -- maybe the owner? We talked through the different food options then placed our order. The Craw Pretzel Boy and fries for my wife, and the Lemon Crusted Nuggets and fries for me. We sat at a table on the sidewalk as we waited for our order. The food was really good and there was a lot of it! We were starved so we polished off everything. A super start to our long weekend...

Listen, please try the Pretzel Crawboy Sandwich. It's delicious and scrumptious! The mac and cheese is good as well and the pecan cookie tastes so guilt-free. Even after eating the items that I listed, I didn't feel sluggish and overwhelmed...and I love that!

This place is great! The fries are fire and the sandwiches are delicious. I also noticed they have a Kosher certification too! Our food came out quickly and we loved everything about our meals. If you are a vegan or plant based eater you'll have some solid options here. The service was good and they have indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe is very casual and I'll definitely be back. I'm telling you, the fries are the best I've had in the city!

There's been some hype about this new location for SV, and we really didn't know much about the place except that it's vegan and people in its former location (uptown) loved it. So we happened to be on the LES and decided to try it for early Sunday evening supper. Found it, with its temporary sign hanging over the door, right near where STOMP! used to play. It's a very small storefront place - a counter and a kitchen behind it, no tables or shelves on the walls or anything between the door and the counter. We never, ever, get fast food but apparently that's why part of the name is "Real Quick!" The young woman behind the counter could not have been any sweeter! She recommended the craw pretzel boy, and I had read raves about it, so we each ordered it. Asked for an order of fries to share, and a bottle of water. They do offer a combo, sandwich +fries+drink, but we chose not to get that. We paid and chatted, and before we knew it our food was packaged and ready to go! Like I said, we never get the likes of BK or McD's, but the sandwiches and fries were absolutely terrific! We carried the bag with the hot food, and our bottle of H2O, to a park about 10 blocks up 2nd Avenue. Sat on a bench and unwrapped the well-wrapped food, still hot and fried to perfect crispness. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

The best vegan comfort food! So delicious! Must go! The food was amazing! Lots of flavor and surprisingly filling! Service was great. Music was fantastic. Not a lot of seating, but totally worth trying out. Go! Go now!

The food here is surprisingly good. I had the craw pretzel boy and a side of fries. I loved the crispy and slightly chewy craw, and the pretzel bun had the perfect texture. The fries were nice and crispy, and the seasoning over the top was delicious. The place is open late too, which is super convenient. The only drawback is the cost, which ran up to almost $27 by the end. This is worth a try for the occasional splurge.

Seasoned Vegan's new spot has a small menu that will hopefully expand to include classics from their previous menu, but the few options they do have are DELICIOUS! I love their combo options: my choice is the Ol' Hungry, which gives you 2 mains and a side. The BBQ Craw Sandwich cannot be beat: it has an incredible flavor and texture, and I loved their choice of a pretzel bun. They also make a really good Mac and cheese that is creamy has plenty of flavor (love the toasted breadcrumbs on top). The fries could have used a bit more seasoning/flavor, however...that's the only thing in my meal that didn't WOW me, but that's okay.

I was a frequent visitor at the Seasoned Vegan in Harlem, and was very disappointed when they closed down. I finally made it to the new location, my mouth watering for their delicious Mac and cheese. Unfortunately, I was completely let down. The macaroni and cheese is very expensive, almost $14, and the size isn't really worth it, and it tasted nothing like it did when they were in Harlem. The Mac and cheese was watery and bland, and to make matters worse, I ended up getting sick and throwing up a short while later, which almost never happens with anything I eat. Disappointed and crushed was an understatement. Don't think I will be returning to try anything else.

Absolutely amazing food. We're from out of town and wish this was in Utah. I've traveled quite a bit, and this is by far the best seasoned vegan food.

Amazing vegan food, very friendly staff. Limited menu so far but still the food was really good. I enjoyed the bbq craw burger! Will be back.

Food was INCREDIBLE! We ordered after getting in from a long trip on the train. We were exhausted, and after having hit or miss vegan food on our trip to Canada, but Seasoned Vegan hit the spot. We'd never had oat meat, but the Chopped Cheese (o) was delicious! I ordered the Kale Salad (o) just thinking that I should have some greens, not because I really wanted it. I was pleasantly surprised because it was legit the best kale I've ever had! We're just in the city on a short visit, but I definitely will be trying to recreate this at home.

I've been here 100+ times since they first opened in 2014. The food has gotten even better since they moved to the East Village and switched to a fast casual, made-to-order concept. *drool emoji*

The coolest, friendliest staff in the business with chefs serving up AMAZING vegan foods. We got the fried craw and Mac and cheese and.... Dang. That sandwich tasted like straight up crab and seafood deliciousness. I was seriously amazed. Loved the mac (if you're a fan of Daiya you'll love this stuff). Everything's made fresh so takes a minute but it's worth every second. Highly recommend!!

BBQ craw sandwich is flavorful with plenty of bbq sauce. Savory for sure. Lemon stuffed nuggets were hearty. I think my favorite is the craw pretzel boy sandwich. It comes with lettuce and tomato. They have combos that combine sandwich, fries, and drink. I'm curious about the desserts and must try those next time. The fries are seasoned. Must try those as well. Open space, no seating so be ready to take your food to go. I appreciate their efforts to be friendly. Definitely an establishment I want to support.

Must try BBQ sandwich! Everything was so good & the staff are super friendly. Place looked very clean too. You need to try this place if you're in NYC.

I was so sad when Seasoned Vegan closed their Harlem restaurant back in April. But fear not, they had other plans in mind. Up first is a fast casual concept in East Village, so even better because closer to me. They took over Stage Restaurant's space (RIP) and luckily it is a local business replacement and not a chain. Due to limited real estate, only their 'greatest' hits will be available here, like their signature vegan 'crawfish' sandwich (no faux meat, but burdock) and lemon crusted nuggets (soy protein). Hopefully, once they settle into this little enclave, they will expand their menu, I mean, I need my mac and cheese and some greens and sweet potato souffle. Staff is friendly and owners are currently present in store. Stop by and say hi...and get some craws.

I don't comment much on clean, reliable, good food - I figure the stans handle that - BUT if you food poison me a couple of times, Ima Yelp You. I don't know if they're related to the Seasoned Vegan uptown (LOVED THE UPTOWN LOCATION) - but the food at this location is not only mediocre - it's BAD (and their in-store environment seems NOT CLEAN). FELLOW VEGANS: DO NOT EAT HERE. I play by baseball rules: Three Strikes. Food was savory/flavorful here - just like the former uptown location - BUT I and four different friends of mine have had negative gastro outcomes from here all THREE times we gave this place a chance. (NOTICE HOW YOUR GUT WORKS after eating here.) Easy to walk to other nearby cost-effective locales and order clean, reliable vegan items. SAVE YOUR HEALTH - eat elsewhere - because the Sanitation Department is coming for these guys....

The bbq sandwich was one of the best things I've ever eaten, vegan or not! Can't wait to try the other menu items. A little pricy, but it sure was delicious

The service was exceptional, and the food was delicious, creating a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

Flavor is great, knocking a star off for $$$ and service not being as quick as suggested in the restaurant's name. (I've only gone after midnight, so maybe it's slower at night.) Pricey for fast food but worth it bc delish

Came here to QUICKLY pick up something for my vegan fiancee -- an order of Mac and cheese and a cupcake. Was surprised that the cost was 23+ bucks but, hey, it's vegan and seems to be of great quality, so I get it. But the real problem was that there was NOBODY in the restaurant and yet it took almost 40 minutes to get the food -- with the person at the counter taking time to let me know it "will be a couple minutes more" only once (it was not a couple minutes). When they handed me the food, it was stapled in a bag, and the cashier told me they put these little scratch-offs with discounts on them to make up for the wait. I was certainly frustrated at the time but thought that was a nice gesture and I trusted I wouldn't need to look in the bag since the wait was so long. Well by the time I got to my fiancee, I opened up my stapled bag to see the $7.50 cupcake was missing! So naturally, I called them up to let them know and just get the refund for the 7.50, but unfortunately the manager wasn't there to do this, so I gave them my number and was told they would give me a call back the next day to do the refund. I never got that phone call. OH and the scratch offs they gave me turned out to be only 5% off. Roughly less than 50 cents off for any main dish they sell, so... yeah that will be a huge help in the future. The worst part about the whole thing is that the mac and cheese was DELICIOUS (hence the second star). I really wish this experience didn't happen cause I'd love to go back and try more food (or even the food I BOUGHT), but this attempt to get something Real Quick was mostly just a Real Bummer.

I love this place! I love the Craw Pretzel Boy! The BBQ Sandwich was delicious but, as a person who errs heavily on the side of savory and spicy over sweet, too sweet for me. Both of the owners were there - Chef B and Aaron - and nice as pie. I am so excited to have this spot nearby - it is definitely going to become a frequent haunt. Burdock root...? Ingenious!

I stopped by the newly opened location on 2nd Ave this morning/ had read about it a few days ago. I don't usually leave reviews but the BBQ Craw sandwich that I got was so insanely good, I literally inhaled it. Run, don't walk there! Can't wait to go back and try the other items on the menu. The staff were wonderful too/ I got some great suggestions on vegan options to try out that I had not known about.
