This vegan spot is great!! So many delicious options. Love that most of it is organic. I dedicated a star because I tried to order the Alfredo pasta and lemonade but they were out of both. Got the spaghetti and meatballs instead which were very good. Delicious for being vegan. The interior is nothing great but the staff was friendly. read more

Terrible. When you close, close the website so people cannot order food drive 30 minutes and see you are closed when the website says you are open and charged me for the food! This is the 4th time this has happened read more

Vegan never tasted so delicious, so addicting and soooo good. Kale in a juice with mango, pineapple and lemon never tasted so good. Hail Kale! Hail to the fantastic Breanna who prepared this amazing juice with a lot of love. Breanna, you are a rock star and just the perfect front person who greeted me so warmly and helped me patiently with the menu. To the owner Craig. Sir, you did good and you got this right. Great, clean and inviting space which is totally COVID compliant. Your menu is fantastic. I have never had a Vegan wrap with tempeh bacon and avocados that tasted so darned amazing. Your special chipotle mayo sauce was to die for. My grandkids inhaled my fries with this sauce and the ketchup. Just stellar. Craig your employees from Breanna to this other very sweet and jovial lady with short hair to the very calm and kind gents in the kitchen were spectacular. I sat and waited for my order and the vibe was chill and just great. Can't wait for indoor dining to commence. Love the specials. I'll be back to terminate my never ending new taste for Vegan comfort food; can't wait to try Ashley's Tuna Melt, the Cauliflower bites, the black eyed pea soup, your pizzas, the quinoa salad, the other juices and lovely smoothies, the Rasta Pasta, the waffles, the other wraps and your pancakes and yes can't forget the Mac n cheese. Closed Mondays. Open 11-9 Tuesday to Sunday. Just 4 miles north and east of JFK airport and 22 miles east of my office on Broadway in TriBeCa in Manhattan. A Live Kitchen sure has me excited and pumped to get back! read more

The worse vegan restaurant you can ever go to. It's not what you think it is. No one cares about this place. They show no love into the food and the workers and All the ingredients are not really organic . Honestly just save your money because it's also way too overpriced when you can make something like that better but at home. read more

I am currently fasting from meat and animal products and decided to give A Live Kitchen a try. I went on a Friday evening and it seemed pretty slow. Maybe one or two people inside. I walked in and was greeted immediately. However he did give me some time to look over the menu. I couldn't decide between the Rasta pasta and the Alfredo but went with the Rasta pasta (per cashier recommendation). The food stayed nice and hot on my 10 minute drive home. They give you A LOT of food. Enough for me to eat for lunch for about 3 days. The pasta was flavorful however I do wish there were just a little more vegetables and a little more jerk sauce through the noodles. My tidbit is I have never had jackfruit but this was pretty good for my first try. Once I wrapped my head around what it was and mixed it in through the noodles it tasted pretty good (they place the jackfruit directly on top of the pasta vs. dispersing it thru the pasta) But overall it was pretty good, large servings and friendly customer service. I will be visiting again to try some of the other menu items read more

Alive kitchen. Great place. I took my dad here for one of his first times having vegan food, and one of his first times having West Indian food, and he absolutely loved it. The portions sizes were just right, and the food really hit the spot. We loved the cauliflower wrap, with the jerk barbecue sauce. It was the perfect balance of flavors. Special shout out to the gentleman on the Saturday afternoon counter, who was excellent explaining the menu. Go! read more

I wish the food wasn't so good that I forgot to take a pic! The v tuna fish us so deliciously cheesey. The strawberry lemonade is made with pureed strawberries. Craveworthy read more

BLACK OWNED! I like the place. It has a nice vibe. It's a vegan restaurant, and I will be going back to try all the plates they have to offer here. We stopped in for a "Tasty Turmeric" smoothie, and my lady decided to try a Pizza Empanada. I must say, that was a very delicious appetizer. The "Spelt" flour dough is great with the homemade tomato sauce. Very tasty and fresh. I love the seating up front and the juice bar in the back. It looks like they have a small stage in the back for live performances. The chef can be viewed in a small glass kitchen that is visible from the front dining area. I will rate the food when I go back and some more of the dishes there so, stay tuned! read more

What happened to the cook that played the music and cooked the food to perfection? Did not enjoy my visit at all. Wouldn't recommend!

I was looking for a place to get a healthy smoothie and came across this place while I was across the street at another establishment. I decided to give it a try and it was amazing. I ordered two smoothies and a Caesar salad, everything was fresh and delicious. It's a black owned vegan restaurant much needed in the neighborhood. read more

Had the buffalo cauliflower wrap and soup. Very tasty, fresh and decent fries that came with it! On the pricy side but on taste alone and easy to recommend vegan spot. It's not geared towards sit down more of a take out spot that you can eat at if you want. If I'm in the area again I'd explore more of the menu. read more

Caribbean fare + Vegan how can you go wrong? Needed something to carry me over to later. I went to the back where take out is and ordered the jerk cauliflower wings. They took a loong to come out but I forgot about all of that after my first bite. It was crunchy and flavorful. Granted it didn't taste like jerk but still delish. The portion was just right for me. I was happy and satisfied. I'll be back to try something else as I definitely think this place may be deserving of 4 stars. read more

Recently discovered this restaurant during the pandemic and all I can say is that it has held me down! Firstly, I have a huge appreciation for an all vegan restaurant located in South Queens. We need more of these! Portions are always large. I'll start off by saying the empanadas are huge and yummy! They are quite bready, so make sure to order some sauce to accompany them. My go to is always the Broccoli Alfredo. It's quite tasty, however if you prefer a lot of salt, you can always add on your own. The Better Burger uses the Beyond patty. It's a great burger and comes with thin cut fries. The Curry Stew, is also a favorite in my household. The Ital Stew is mid, nothing really to write home about, however not bad. The last time I was there, we ordered the Cauliflower Wings in Jerk Sauce, and I must say they are delicious. My entire family was fighting over them. Will definitely make sure to order two in the future haha! Something to note, about 45mins-1hr before closing they stop answering the phones and the online ordering closes. If you're trying to get a last min order in, I suggest going in person. Overall great carrib vegan spot! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Didn't have the food yet but I had the juice. Staff was very nice and attentive. The restaurant had a few customers. I love the set up... It gives the vibe of "poetry open mic night". Black owned! Yes. read more

Food was amazing, went there on Wednesday night, Juneteenth and got a great dinner for my family, definitely recommend this to any vegan that wants to spice things up a bit read more

Came in here for Saturday brunch. I felt like service was a bit on the slow side but maybe I'm a little picky since I was a server for over 4 years. Anyways food was on point! And piping hot. No extra seasoning needed, there weren't any salt/peppers shakers on any tables in the front. I'm glad that the brunch menu had like 5 selections so easy breezy but reading the descriptions, most of the entrees had the same thing in them. For example the scrambled tofu. I would definitely return for dinner and try the juices next time around. read more

A Live Kitchen - Triple berry smoothie ! - Vegan Near Me - Laurelton, New York

The past couple of times that I have ordered from this restaurant the food has not been as good as it used to be . Today I ordered Kentucky Fried Cauliflower Bites , a small ranch dressing , and a small soup of the day. The Cauliflower Bites which were so flavorful and delicious before were tasteless. The soup of the Day which used to be so filling and delicious instead has an over abundance of pepper in it instead of good taste. It seems as if they have lost their original cooks because everything I've ordered this year is tasteless or full of pepper. I will not be ordering from this restaurant anymore. read more

I am NOT a vegan: the impossible burger with "cheese" and the cauliflower were amazing!! By the time we got home the fries were bland, so maybe eating them at the restaurant would have been better. The Mac wasnt bad- had more of a smokier flavor. But i understand why and I could eat them again. I absolutely recommend. read more

LOVE this place!! Delicious, fresh vegan food. They take about 25-30 minutes to get your order prepared but it's because everything is made to order and it's so worth it!! Their cauliflower wings, BLT, tuna melt, empanadas, everything I've had tastes great!! read more

I took Uber out here just to try this place the reviews and pictures looked great and I was tired of the standard food around this area and being a Vegetarian this place looked quite promising. I got there and I asked to order to go....everyone there was friendly I met the owners who also offered me to taste the 2 soups they had for the day Red Lentil and Garden Vegetable...I was going to order the Red Lentil but the Garden Vegetable was really good so i got that. I ordered one Kale and Chickpea Empanada and my Entree was the Avocado BLT w/Fries...I know I shouldn't be getting fries...but I thought what the heck.... Overall the food was great the employees were really friendly.... It is more of a Vegan Comfort food restaurant, but some Vegan comfort food restaurants are really unhealthy....I like that most of the items aren't overly salty like a lot of similar restaurants.... Next time I'm in the area I will definitely come back! read more

Happy to see a vegan restaurant in the area!!! Cute spot. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I had the Curry Vedge and Cauliflower bites. The brown rice was overcooked and the curry was decent. My fave was the cauliflower Bites. I would definitely come again to try there brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday. They also have a full juice bar in the back. read more

My 1st time visiting NY and I was looking for a vegan option near my hotel. However, I wasted so much time trying to place an order online (at least a total of an hour) to support their business. The error message was related to the zip code of my card even though it was never asked. The only information I gave was my name, number, email, card number, expiration, and CVV. When I called for help, I had to call multiple times (about 5) to receive minimal help. They suggested I order thru UberEats and l could not request utensils, napkins nor condiments. I ordered banana pudding on UberEats, but I received a call shortly after because it didn't exist. Lastly, the food was not good. The fries were soggy and everything lacked seasoning. Worse vegan experience for me :( read more

I came in here because my daughter was under the weather and I was trying to find a good lentil soup. I haven't ordered from here in years and when I looked up lentil soup they popped up and decided to give it a try. Little did I know it was going to be for the worse. The young lady was laughing and giggling while on her phone. I asked for for cauliflower bites and the red lentil soup ( which was also supposed to be the soup of the day) She rung up my order and I was confused as why it was so high. I then asked her if the cauliflower bites don't come by itself and she said yes and she said is that what you wanted and I said yes. She then tried to persuade me that the fried rice is really good and her favorite but I insisted I just wanted the bites.The cook seemed very nonchalant as she said forget the fried rice and he proceeds to say well I made it anyway. She then says we'll I'm going to eat it regardless. Then a customer comes in looks at the food that was placed and goes up to look and breathe on the food. No one asked her to wait until they had her order ready. Then I come home open the soup and it's more broth than anything and undercooked chickpeas. Then the large soup is highly overpriced. I could've gotten a bigger soup at another vegan place for $6 Highly disappointed **the last pic is a pic from a review with actual lentil soup** read more

A Live Kitchen - Tofu rancheros - Vegan Near Me - Laurelton, New York

This place is WAY too expensive. They serve about 75% of the vegan items that any other vegan spot does yet they charge about 20% over the average price. For example, a beyond burger at ANY spot is about $10-13. This place charges you $20. The "tuna salad" sandwhich taste disgusting, and for 2 slices of bread and their "tuna" they charge $12. I don't recommend this place to anyone living on an average budget or looking to try vegan items for the first time, it will disappoint you. Save your money and order elsewhere. read more

This is what I paid 50 cent extra for?? A sauce with no sauce?? This isn't right.. Everytime I go there something is wrong with my order. If there's another time I'll check myself before I leave... read more

I was in New York for a little and decided to stop and try a vegan spot I'm happy I tried this one the lady at the front was super nice and it took me a min to pick something I really wanted breakfast but they weren't serving it at the time so I choose the Alfredo i was a BIG pasta fan before my diet switch and HEAVY on the Alfredo so I was happy to taste it and it did NOT disappoint I ate it right away hot and all had to pause though but it stayed warm my car ride back to Philly which was awesome cause not everybody likes cold food the container could be a little more thick tho cause it most definitely was burning a little holding it while trying to open it and it took a min opening it overall though I'd love to come back and try something else on the menu read more

A Live Kitchen - Broccoli Alfredo w/mushrooms added - Vegan Near Me - Laurelton, New York

This place used to be great. When they first opened they had delicious food and really nice ambiance with tables and booths. They had waiters come to you and take your order etc. but most importantly the food was always fresh and on point. Lately things have gone downhill. They switched to more of a fast food ambiance, where you order up front and there are a few flimsy chairs and tables. Fine, maybe the pandemic forced them to adapt plus takeout always seemed to be very popular. But most disappointing has been the change of food quality. It just doesn't hit the same as it used to and their selection has significantly decreased. No more gluten free options either, which used to be a big draw for me. I keep going back hoping the owner will right the ship and bring back the Live Kitchen we used to love! But for now I gotta be honest, it's not that good anymore. read more

Top notch Vegan food! Absolutely delicious. You must try the Kentucky fried cauliflower, and the tuna melt. I just ate and I couldn't wait to add a quick review. I will be a long time supporter. Excellent customer service, great prices, and amazing amazing vegan food. Win win win! read more

Really enjoyed this place. Many restaurants prepare food for a profit, which is completely fine. This restaurant is special because it's vegan but also there is an effort in selecting ingredients. Coming here you'll have a tasty and healthy meal. Great because it's very few place like this in New York. tasty!. read more

The Jerk BBQ Bites are delicious!! I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower and when I say It doesn't taste like it's cauliflower.... like barely but you know it is by looking at it!!!! It was so good!!! That's definitely going to be my go too. The Philly cheese steak is ok I guess because I'm use to an actual Philly cheesesteak so I wasn't a huge fan!! But I definitely recommend this spot!! And I'm not even vegan!! read more

Great spot in a neighborhood that needs vegan options. I've loved most of the items that I've tried and the service is always top notch. Big fan of the glowing detox juice, the sweet potato cheesecake and the general tso cauliflower wings. My boyfriend also raved on about the impossible burger and I enjoy the chickpea tuna melt. I would skip the blt wrap and the empanadas are good but tend to break loads easily because they become soggy. read more
