"Uptown Veg has been feeding upper Manhattan’s vegan population since the '90s. Since then, the father-daughter duo behind the place has opened a second Harlem location and a third in Bed-Stuy, both of which focus on salads and juice. The original spot sells everything from plant-based chicken curry to Philly cheesesteaks that we find ourselves wanting to order even on our meat-eating days. The longtime Harlem business also serves the local unhoused community every night, seven days a week. " - neha talreja, nikko duren, kenny yang

"If you’re looking for juice, smoothies, and vegan food like soy chicken sandwiches and curry chickpeas, you can pick up food at Uptown Veg and then eat it at one of their tables in front." - hannah albertine

Despite the small size of the restaurant, there was an excellent variety of food which was delicious and ready to eat as soon as you walk in.

Seriously so delicious, nice staff, cute interior and DELICIOUS (did i mention delicious) food! Both locations have so much to offer. Amazing vegan food at a great price. Also, first time trying a vegan drumstick. It was incredible, the texture and flavor are so savory and juicy!

Just as delicious as I remember! My little sister, who’s not vegan, even enjoyed her food!! The only thing I’ll say is I won’t recommend the collard greens, they’re just OK.

I stumbled on this place through a food app, and am so happy that I did! The food is always fresh, soulful, and delicious. The prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend it to vegans and non-vegans alike!

This place is good for what it is. They have a very limited number of dishes (about 12 on display to choose from) and they are all vegan. Most of the “meat” is soy protein, and the other dishes are plain. You pay by the pound (as of July 2022 it is $9.49/lb) and this can add up quite fast especially if you get things like noodles or chickpeas. They were out of their eggplant dish, which is really the only reason you should come here if you can! That is probably the best tasting item they have. Would I come here again? Probably if I’m in a pinch and just want solid food that doesn’t blow me away.

I’ve tried about 8 different items from the menu and every single one has been so delicious. Their food is so flavorful and cooked very well. You can tell they use quality ingredients too. Definitely check out even if you aren’t vegan!!

Beautiful spot, I come here from Queens on the regular. Shout out to J, she was very kind and welcoming. I saw her teaching one of the younger employees something about serving, very patient and kind. The food is good, juices are good, a must go to spot if you’re plant based or not!

There aren’t many healthy food options uptown so I was pleasantly surprised to find Uptown Veg one day headed back from the gym. The stores manager Miss J is the epitome of great customer service, as her presence made me feel like I was being served by a loving family member. Food was great, especially the vegan oxtail and vegan Mac n cheese (which I’ve seen lots of restaurants not do correctly). An added bonus was the pineapple ginger juice I got that was just the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be back and continue to share the praises of this restaurant! We need more shops like this in Harlem. By the way, it was super reasonable as far as price!
