Another work lunch winner! Blue Park Kitchen has fresh, hearty bowls that really hit the spot for a healthier meal. I've had their turkey meatballs and lemon ricotta bowl maybe half a dozen times over the past year, and have never been disappointed. The dish is chock full of fresh ingredients, and super flavorful without needing a dressing bath or other heavy add-ons. Definitely recommend them as a lunchtime winner! read more

Blue Park Kitchen - Turkey Meatballs & Lemon Ricotta Bowl - New American Near Me - New York, New York

BluePark Kitchen on PineStreet is that clean‑food spot you can actually afford. The menu feels fresh without breaking the bank, and you're never sure if they're a seed‑free‑oil joint--but honestly, you don't need to know when the steak bowl hits. It's hearty, perfectly seasoned, and the kind of thing that makes you plan a second visit just for that bowl. The vibe is simple, almost to‑go‑only: bright walls, a quick counter, and a low‑key hum that's perfect for a fast lunch or a grab‑and‑go dinner. If you're after wholesome, tasty eats without the fuss (or the price tag), swing by and thank me later. read more

Food is really tasty and I like the fact that the chicken is humanely raised. Nice selection of sides, sauces and toppings.

Ordered this for lunch on a work day and I was pretty surprised. I got the turkey meatballs bowl, and it tasted healthy as well as delicious. Excellent choice for a fast casual spot for lunch or dinner. read more

Blue Park Kitchen - Turkey Meatballs Bowl - New American Near Me - New York, New York

as several of the other one star reviewers wrote, the portion sizes for nearly $20 are ridiculously small. the container itself is much smaller than other fidi places and then they barely fill it 3/4 full most of which is cheap quinoa and salad. stingy even on things like tomatoes. really? never again read more

I always forget to take pictures, but BPK is quickly becoming one of my favorite lunch spots in FiDi!!! I typically get their roasted pork and shaved Brussels sprouts bowl, which is packed with a lot of flavor. There is always plenty of meat in my bowl, keeping me full for the rest of the day. They also have DELICIOUS cookies!!! If you're looking for a solid lunch in the area, Blue Park Kitchen is a great choice. read more

This restaurant makes me feel welcome every visit. The entire employees offered kindness and helpfulness. Their meals reflected cooking knowledge. This establishment provides a nice atmosphere. The spot presents a unique experience. read more

Slow-roasted pork & shaved Brussels sprouts. The meal comes with arugula, faro, and shaved parmesan. I added a meatball and an organic soft-boiled egg. I thought the pork was very juicy and flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were also really tasty! I never had it shaved and it makes the brussels sprouts more enjoyable. The meatball was just okay, for a 2.25 extra charge I expected something more juicy and flavorful. The soft-boiled egg was pretty jammy. Overall I think it's a nicely constructed bowl. It might be too expensive for everyday lunch. read more

Blue Park Kitchen - New American Near Me - New York, New York

A bit on the pricey side of lunch, but absolutely worth a visit every once in a while (even by a cheapo like me). For as long as I have worked in the FiDi, I never realized Blue Park even existed! Honestly, it's hard to find them randomly unless you take a stroll on Pine Street, or find them on Yelp ... and, even then, they blend right into the building that they are situated in. Like most of the FiDi restaurants now, they are the usual assembly-line type of takeout spot, but the ingredients are so good. There are your Signature Bowls, which are bowls with pre-determined ingredients or you can Build Your Own. Luckily, if you're on the "adventurous" side, building your own bowl isn't all that challenging, but it can feel a little overwhelming your 1st time around. My word of advice - study the menu beforehand, but sometimes you just can't resist changing it up when you show up and see the ingredients in person. Simply put, the build your own bowl consist of first selecting grains and greens, then a sauce, a dip, 2 vegetables, 1 protein and 2 toppings. And, best of all, they actually have small instructional cards on the front of the sneeze glass so you actually know what you're looking at! One caveat though is that adding a protein does add to the cost as each bowl does not include the price of a protein - womp, womp. As for the bowls, even though a bit pricey with the addition of a protein, they are PACKED and very filling. After devouring most of the food, my jaw was literally fatigued from all of the chewing because there was so much food in the bowl. As for my ingredient faves? I'm a huge couscous fan, so I'd absolutely start with that and the grilled kale. For the sauces, I've only tried a few, but, honestly, all of them are probably tasty. For the dip, go with the avocado smash, if you love avocado, which I absolutely do. For veggies, this is a tricky one because I absolutely am a fan of most of them, but I could never resist the mixed mushrooms and charred broccolini. Lastly, the toppings, not sure why the corn salsa is listed here instead of veggies, but that's a fave of mine. For a little crunch, also add the toasted chickpeas. Lastly, protein, I would say the salmon, but it's the priciest of the proteins at a whopping $4.50, but it's really delicious. If it's too steep for your wallet, go with the blackened chicken breast. Seriously, Blue Park Kitchen has always come through every time I've been. Never have I had a bad bowl. Yes, they are on the pricier side, even by FiDi standards. I'm pretty cautious on my spending for lunch (aka I'm cheap) and tend to try to keep the cost on the lower end, but they are soooo good that they definitely warrant a visit every few weeks from me. read more

Food is great and service is impeccable. Turkey meatball with lemon ricotta is a must get

I'm not that familiar with the fidi district, so finding a lunch spot was tough. Blue Park Kitchen looked great, could've been great but unfortunately fell short. I got the Salmon and Charred Broccoli bowl - $14 was a little steep but expected for the area. The salmon was well made and tasty, broccoli had a nice char to it too, but both the chickpeas and farro tasted raw and undercooked (a few of my chickpeas had the texture of stone). Given this was the majority of my bowl it was a bit of a let down. All things considered, I think there are better options in the neighborhood. read more

Rip off for vegetarians and vegans . They serve generous amount of meat protein depending on what u order; salmon, chicken, turkey meat balls for $13-$14 however when you order a vegeterian bowl, which is basically potato patties and mushrooms they significantly reduce the size of your serving. Bowl with quinoa, greens and one lame piece of potato patty and few mushrooms..Like one single piece?? Like seriously how much does one piece of mashed potato cost u guys over 3 pieces of turkey meat balls or one filet of salmon?? I ordered an extra potato patty n landed up paying $15.50 for a single bowl.. don't get me even started on the taste... the patties were bland and undercooked, you get taste of half cooked potatoes with every bite. The guy preparing my bowl was least interested in what add ons I wanted. He was itching to get done with me asap to attend the next meat eating customers. I'm saying this with conviction coz I have ordered meat bowls from this place before and have had good experiences. It's like they are intolerant to vegeterianism. What a downfall from being one of my favorite lunch places in fidi to me never wanting to visit it again. read more

Blue Park Kitchen - This is the single piece of potato patty that warrants 12.75$ - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I have ordered from this place everyday and I always knew there was an issue with cleaning their produce. I just always find branches from ingredients etc. Especially in their turkey meatballs, there are always branches in the mix. Today. I choked on a rubberband that was left next to my broccolini. I am never ordering from this place again. They don't clean their produce. They are cutting corners. This is dangerous. read more

Ordered a DIY bowl for pick-up and order/pick-up process was easy and seamless. Each item in the bowl tasted fresh and generous in portion size. The salmon was cooked PERFECTLY, soft and flaky just the way I like it. I was concerned if the greens would come out soggy (i was late for about 10mins in picking it up) but everything was still crisp and fresh. The avocado smash was a nice, filling addition and the green goddess dressing was perfect! Will definitely order again and try other proteins and add-on options. read more

Blue Park is similar to Dig inn . You pick your base , protein and veggies but there are also preselected combos available as well at a slightly better value versus a la carte. I prefer using the latter means as I'm complicated like that . Ended up with brown rice, blackened chicken, carrots some curries flavored cauliflower and various sauces that I can't remember . My meal was not bad at all . I would say though that they did too much with their seasonings . The rice for example was very saturated with what seemed like lemon juice . The sauces were good but would have preferred them on the side as a dip . The meats were cooked very well (tried the chicken and steak) but was a smaller portion than I'm used to in similar restaurants . The veggies were also good except for their kale but got lost in the complexity and non complimentary flavors of the food . I'd surmise that this restaurant is good . Figuring out the various combos and what works with what is too much work for me though versus a spot like dig inn that has simpler and less bold offerings that usually satisfies the palette . At a lower price mind you... read more

I picked up lunch from Blue Park Kitchen today, here are my thoughts: Service is great. Both of the people helping me were super friendly and helpful. Restaurant is really nice and there is outdoor seating. I took my lunch to go but wouldn't mind sitting outside next time. Food is good! I had salmon with half greens, half rice, zucchini, mushrooms, and avocado smash. I really liked all of it. Prices are a bit high for the quantity...I eat a similar meal at Dig Inn 2-3 times a week and it's $3 cheaper. Overall I really liked Blue Park Kitchen and wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

flavors were fine but the portions were not great for the $18 i paid imo. i understand their patronage isn't seeking huge portions so i'm giving it a 3/5 instead of a 2 read more

How I wish I try this earlier! Built my own bowl and ordered through ritual. Made some additional modification. With drink it came out to be more than $20. It's not too cheap but I think the quality is there. I added steak and turkey meatball and they were both good. They weren't super juicy but they were definitely not dry. The steak was thick cut and was flavorful. The broccolini was a bit salty to my liking and the charred kale can be cut to smaller pieces. Roasted cauliflower and the lemon ricotta and the mashed avocado was good. Herbed brown rice was also not bad. I love this combination that I picked. The dressing was pretty good too. I ordered it on the side. They ran out of coconut water and treated me another drink of my choice (tho I've yet to check if they have charged me for the drink). I'll definitely return and try out other different items!! read more

Pricey but really good food. I usually get a customized bowl with salmon. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

The food itself is just ok but they are so stingy, like it's midday all the tubs are full of food why are you giving me half scoops?

Fresh, wholesome food. Much needed after a long day of travel! My husband and I each got different bowls. The ingredients were fresh, service was fast and we left feeling full read more

This. Place. Is. Awesome. Trying to expand my horizon from eating sweetgreen everyday - I found a healthy, fresh, and yummy alternative. Same concept as many fast causal places but the food just taste so damn good. And, recently there has been no wait which is great for me when I just want to get out of the office and pick up food. The bowls I love are the soft boiled egg and spicy alfy oil and the blackened chicken. The sauces are fresh and the dips (white bean hummus) are awesome. What a great lunch and/ or healthy dinner place downtown. read more

What's not to love about a fast and casual restaurant with food that's healthy and tastes amazing? Especially when it's as reasonably prices as it is?! I got a bowl with grilled steak and loved it. The steak was well seared while retaining a soft and juicy center. The grilled broccoli and sweet potatoes were also phenomenal, and the avocado green goddess dressing really tied everything together nicely. On top of the food, the restaurant is clean, and all of the staff were helpful and friendly. And very patient with me as I struggled with indecision over what to add to the bowl. My only wish would be that they had a slightly wider selection of toppings available, and that they allowed you more than 2. That won't stop me from being back, though. Highly recommend that you give this place a try if you want something fast and fresh. read more

For so long I thought salads were boring. Why would anyone eat a salad for lunch (or ever) when you could down, say, 7 pounds of pasta and/or an enormous greasy sandwich instead? Well, Blue Park Kitchen answered that question for me in multiple ways: 1 - salads can be healthy and also delicious simultaneously 2 - eating salads can diminish the post-lunch desire to immediately launch into a four-hour nap session While you can create your own salad here, the pre-designed menu items are filled with excellent combinations of ingredients and flavors. The meat, whether it's the steak, chicken, or turkey meatballs, is always tender and juicy. In my numerous trips there, I haven't encountered one tough piece of meat - pretty impressive. Really love all the dressings too (they don't skimp on these). Blue Park Kitchen is my new favorite weekday lunch spot. Always leaves me feeling great with my appetite totally satisfied. read more

Pro: the food was good, nice variety, and healthy options. The service was friendly and coming in around 7:30pm there was no wait to be served Con: The prices!! holly cow was that totally and ridiculously overpriced. I got a bowl with the salmon and the option of 2 veggies, and then ordered a side of sprouts and a side of mushrooms (which came in 8oz containers but filled barely above half way. Total $26.50!! Such a disappointment given the high reviews. read more

Go here. Jealous of those who live or work nearby. Not too much signage so you might not know it's there (discreet entrance off of narrow Pine St, with another entrance off sceney art-deco lobby), but...just go. Grain bowls have become all the rage, and they're all pretty predictably good, but this place takes it to a new level. Healthy, clean, delicious. You suddenly realize that at the other spots you've been having three-too-many sauces on your food. This is hearty and filling and flavorful but somehow also leaves you feeling good and light and wanting to weight-lift. Made a custom bowl: kale (grilled lightly/ not wilted), brown rice, *STEAK*, blackened chicken (half-and-half protein, went all-out as wanted to try both), avocado, blistered tomatoes, squash. Didn't need much dressing but had a green goddess blend of sorts. The piéce de resistance, though: how do you get an actually "soft" soft-boiled egg at a fast-casual place, dropped onto your plate in...seconds? Gooey yolk, with salt and pepper added to spec. That egg add-on alone = 5 stars and makes this place the envy of the Dig Inns and sweetgreens of the world. Cost of my bowl was somehow less than what I get most days at Little Beet. Seating and cute decor (including houseplants). Imagine it's a mainstay for lunch but I went for dinner and you can jazz things up accordingly: Mix of beer, kombucha, Brooklyn-sourced pastries... Don't like vegan baked goods, but friend forced me to try a chocolate chip cookie that apparently ticked that box; it was unidentifiably vegan (ie enjoyable). Jai Alai IPA was good; other interesting/ unexpected options -- it's very well-curated, especially for the financial district. Go. And tell them to open some of these in midtown. read more

My new favorite lunch spot! Walked by and thought the place looked totally cute. Did online ordering. Wait estimate was 15 minutes. I arrived about 20 minutes later and my food was waiting for me - good vibes already! Decent portion size is really important to me, and blue park kitchen didn't disappoint. I felt full after. On to the food! I tried a bunch of stuff and really enjoyed everything. Steak was very good - great flavor and texture. Turkey meatballs also very tasty - I tasted fennel. Preferred the coconut bulgur to the Farro. Grilled kale with avocado goddess dressing was delicious. Delicious squash and sweet potatoes. Delicious onions and delicious fennel slaw as toppings. I am very picky and thought they served great quality food. I am definitely a fan! read more

I'm giving 4 because they left out a lot of items when I ordered online. They also gave me the wrong dressing. Some of which I paid extra for such as chicken and avocado so I was very disappointed. However, I do think that they have good quality ingredients and although their salads aren't that big, it's still filling. The ingredients were definitely flavored well and I actually really enjoyed the turkey meatball, which was very juicy. I would probably order from them again but just hope that in the future, they make sure to add everything in and give me the right ingredients, especially when I paid extra for it. read more

This is my Friday lunch spot. Incredibly fresh ingredients and generous portions. The line is getting longer and longer each time I come. The way it works is you get two items for a base. Similar to sweetgreen, you can get a mix of grains and/or greens. They'll basically great a little salad at the bottom if you choose greens and add dressing to this portion. You can also get a dip like hummus or avocado smash. Also included are a protein, two vegetables and two toppings (like cheese or spiced nuts). All combines to make a generous meal, about the same price as Dig Inn (across the street). Highly recommend! But don't try it bc I want to keep those lines nice and short. read more

Has anyone been able to find the nutrition info for their menu? I can't. Food looks healthy but is it really? Taste is okay

I give the service and food quality a 5 *****. The location and ambiance is okay. Don't expect a fancy place. A lot of people stop here to get it to go, some get delivery, others stay to eat. They have nice cushion on the seats, wifi and bathroom available which is a plus. The selection for food is great. They have many vegan/vegetarian options. We got streak and the Aloo Tikki "chic pee patty" which were delicious I liked the steak more. Since I am a meat eater, that didn't shock me . I loved that you can try anything you want and the staff was really friendly/helpful. We found they make the food fresh themselves! This took us some time to choose: You can choose 2 bases, 1 dip, 2 veggies, 2 toppings and as many sauces as you can think will match the types of proteins you choose. We got the coconut bulgur which was a recommended (I didn't like it), baby greens, avacado smash for dip, new potatoes w. Leeks, roasted cauliflower, feta cheese, spiced peanuts, pumpkin seed chimichurri and yogurt dill tahina dip. The price for all was $17.42 which is gooooodd for 2 to share a salad including 2 proteins. I wouldn't make this place a habit being that it's actually $$ although google maps has it as $ which makes blue park kitchen a 4 **** overall.
