    Tuna Avocado
    Elaine T.

    Got the tuna avocado salad as well as the Hawaiian dream smoothie via Grubhub. They were very prompt and had my order ready ahead of schedule. Also appreciate how they plastic wrapped the smoothie tightly to ensure no leakage! I enjoyed the salad and the smoothie. The helpings of tuna and avocado were very generous, and I liked that there were a variety of greens underneath, including my personal favorite of bean sprouts! It came with sesame and soy sauce as dressing. I used the sesame but I would have preferred if they switched the soy sauce with a chili lime or ginger vinaigrette as the tuna was already on the salty side. The smoothie was exactly as expected and it was hard to not slurp it all at once. Overall had a good experience, and would order from here again!

    #14: steamed chicken, brown rice, steamed veggies, salad
    David L.

    Not even sure how to describe the food here, other than clean, fresh, and tasty AF. Ordered the #14 (steamed chicken, brown rice, steamed veggies, salad) as sorta a late breakfast/early lunch (NOT brunch, cuz brunch is a vibe). $12 with tip, and I'm 100% satisfied with my choice!!! Add some hot sauce and a touch of soy to the house dressing and BOOM, DELICIOUS!!! Based on the number of tank tops and yoga pants in the area, I'm guessing this would make a PERFECT pre/post gym meal.

    Almond Greens

    I'm enjoying the late afternoon ambiance here with a refreshingly healthy ALMOND GREENS SPECIALTY SMOOTHIE while listening to soulful songs at a slower bpm that compose the perfect peaceful and calm oasis that I needed in bustling NYC. Counter service lady is so caring and helpful.

    The B12 smoothie is very good. I highly recommend this smoothie. I will definitely try other ones. The prices are pretty fair. Good service. They have tables and seats , if you want to sit down before heading to work. The almond green smoothie is packed and filling. It tastes delicious. The person who makes it in the morning does a great job.

    Chaturanga without agave, added Spirulina
    Donna L.

    I love this spot. Quick, clean, vegan eats. I had been struggling to find a solid smoothie spot, and this is my go-to. They have SO many options. I've only tried the chaturanga thus far--I get it without agave and ask for added Spirulina ($1 extra.) They offer whey, pea, or hemp proteins for that so vegans can rejoice. The dumplings are so tasty. I have no idea what they put inside (think it might be some kind of tofu) but they satisfied my hunger and made me feel great afterwards. Plus I felt like I got my veggie fix with the salad!

    A GEM. I go well out of my way to come here. The food is delicious, healthy, homegrown, and affordable. And it's just, like, a calming place to be. There are fewer and fewer of these places in the city. Therefore: GEM.

    Their tasty hummus and avocado pita was just $5.
    Ashley S.

    A delicious local spot for a quick bite. Vegan pastries? Vegan smoothies? Vegan sandwiches? They have it all. If you're vegan, they have sooooo many options waitin' for ya. Their hummus and avocado pita ($5) was a perfect healthy meal for me when I was running around doing errands today. There's a small counter and plenty of seating for a quick snack. Definitely recommend if you need an affordable pick-me-up in Chelsea.

    Vegan matcha brownie. Don't expect a sugary brownie. Appreciate the whole ingredients

The dining room is spacious and with a nice ambience between the lighting and artwork of willow trees. For dinner - I had the whiskey BBQ brisket and fries.

This sandwich is usually not something that is available vegetarian so i was curious to see the flavors and textures. The steak is chewy and meaty so if you are not a fan of faux meat then i would proceed with caution. I enjoy the cheeses here as they are unique and different from each other. The sandwich overall was okay though not my favorite sandwich ever. - smoked Mac and cheese (7/10): macaroni with smoked goat cheese, cheddar, mozzarella baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with vegan pancetta and breadcrumbs. This was a cozy appetizer especially on a cold day. The flavors of the cheese are rich and smoky with a hint of saltiness from the pancetta and breadcrumbs. I would have liked it to be a larger portion and offered as an entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. I liked the ambiance and the option to try dishes that are usually meat heavy but the cuisine is not my personal favorite.

They take pride in their restaurant's offerings, as they should. My server was wonderful, offering suggestions to this first-timer. I started with a Volcano Roll - hearts of palm substituting for fish. Well balanced and delicious. Next was broccoli "beef" - fresh broccoli and shitake "steak" with mushrooms really balanced the dish. I ended with something so unnecessary and so wonderful, I'm glad I did it: The sticky toffee pudding. Just pure delight. It was relatively quiet when I was there. I could see how it could get a bit noisy if it were crowded. But even so, the people who visit are friendly and I ended up having a great conversation with the table next to me. I'll be back. I'm not exactly local, but it's definitely worth the trip! Planta is on my faves list now!

    I am not vegan. If it weren't for our friends who are, and having eaten already at the kopino fest,…read morewe probably would not have gone. Funny enough, we met our only other vegan friend there. So, from the vegan perspective, this is a popular and tasty place. We started with drinks, being lunchtime, we opted for non alcoholic drinks, the matcha colada and the salty maple macchiato. The matcha colada had a nice color but tasted mostly like coconut and pineapple which was still yummy. Friends ordered 3 different kinds of sushi and dan dan noodles with tofu. I was confused with the sushi as I thought vegans didn't eat fish...so yes I asked and was told that they probably made the "fish" with tapioca. I did try a bite of each roll (I was still full from the fest) and I was surprised that it tasted pretty good. They did a nice job with the roll and presentation. The matcha cheesecake was nice and creamy. I would not have known it was vegan. I don't normally like food that pretends to be something else because it usually doesn't live up to the real thing. The idea is that it is not pretending to be something but rather substituting with vegan options, I do think from a health perspective, I am more open to trying more vegan foods. Ambiance felt upscale and wait staff were helpful and congenial. I hear dinner time gets packed here. I may have to try again when I have not eaten already.

The space was super clean, calm, and had a vibe that felt authentic to the cuisine. The staff was also incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and fast, which made the whole experience even better. But the food is what really blew me away. I got the Korean Wild Green Tea First Picked, and it was unreal. Yes, it had that beautiful green tea character, but it was so much more layered than that--smooth, complex, almost naturally sweet, and honestly one of the most memorable teas I've had anywhere. I also ordered the iced matcha latte, and it was easily the best matcha latte I've ever had: no grittiness at all, just incredibly smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. We also had the baby dumplings in spicy sauce, popcorn shrimp, fried Manchurian cauliflower, spicy kimchi pancakes, Peking duck baos, and the duck rice bowl. Every single dish was excellent. I'm still baffled by how well they nailed the shrimp texture--seriously impressive. The flavors across the board were rich, creative, and satisfying without feeling heavy. If you're in Murray Hill and want a standout vegan lunch or dinner, or you're just looking for one of the best plant-based restaurants in Manhattan, Franchia is absolutely worth going out of your way for.
