Uptown Veg 2 express

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.

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!

I love this place so much. Those BBQ drumsticks and the enormous variety of vegetables to build up your plate is incredible. Don't forget to order their mac & cheese too. The team is always so nice and helpful. I'm happy for them to be a staple in Harlem.

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.

Love the all vegan point to choose smorgasbord. $9 per pound! Thanks for allowing reuse of your take away containers! Love it!

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.

Amazing selections of delicious vegan soul food! They also have amazing desserts and a full smoothie bar!

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!
