My regular local deli, never fails to please and all employees go above and beyond, will always recommend!!! Shout out to macoumba for the great service as always. read more

It's just a regular bodega, nothing special, just a little more cleaned up compared to the average one in the area. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll just now as well as a couple of snacks and told the cashier that I didn't need the plastic bag she bagged everything in. She (stout Latina with blonde highlights) said 'You seen me put it in the bag, you shoulda told me." Won't be back. read more

It's a convenient and clean "health market". I like to call it a boogie bodega, lol. They serve smoothies and offer all it's fixin's ( whey protein, vegan, seamoss, spirulina, etc.), salads, and sandwiches. As well as having in stock all the classic bodega finds and some rare appearances of specialty brands. If I ever find myself in the neighborhood again I would definitely stop by. Price? More expensive than a neighborhood bodega, but hey. read more

I was studying with classmates, and we decided to order food. Using my UberEats app, I found this place had good options. I ordered a grilled chicken bowl, while one of my classmates ordered a chicken pita. There are a lot of places that cheat you out of a good meat portion, but this is not one of them. There were ample amounts of chicken in my order, sitting on a bed of veggies and rice. The chicken was cooked with a nice blend of spices, and the meal was overall satisfying. My classmate was satisfied with her order as well. And this meal helped fuel our long study day. Healthy Choice is most definitely a good option for food. Consistent with their name, their food is both healthy and delicious. read more

It's a fantastic local spot if you're looking for some clean eating. I think for the most part if this is your diet you try to make this on your own but when you're not in the mood this is definitely the place you go 22 make sure you don't jump off the rails. They have salads, smoothies, wraps, etc. I don't go often but you can definitely see the have a great report with their customers. Every time i've gone , they've been very welcoming with a warm embrace. read more

I do not recommend the Healthy Choice Balsamic Garlic Steak meal. The mashed potatoes thin and watered down. The powder mashed potatoes that I occasionally cook are MUCH better. The steak is hard to find amid the mediocre sauce. read more

Healthy Choice - Grilled Chicken Salad - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

IF YOU ENJOY BEING A BERATED CUSTOMER, COME HERE. Service used to be great, but in the last few orders the service has gone down tremendously. The men behind the hot food counter are extremely rude with terrible customer service. The gentleman who used to work behind the hot food counter was great. But in the last few visits, he has not been there and the service is terrible. I usually order seven items or more, when I go there, with no issue. But, as of recent they are missing items and are unsympathetic, unapologetic and callous when sauces and/or items are not in the store. Example: ordering a wrap, as advertised, and the appropriate sauces and condiments are missing. The man behind the counter proceeded to curse at me when I told him that I no longer wanted the wrap without the advertised dressing and sauce. The food quality has also changed in the last few orders. The food is also pricey, charging restaurant prices, with Taco Bell attitudes. Save your money and frustration and go somewhere else. read more

I walked by this place last week, and someone was outside energetically advertising the food, and new to the area, I was intrigued. I took the menu and perused it several times through the week. I finally went in for takeout falafel pita, with added hummus. The man behind the counter also offered lettuce, tomatoes, and white sauce. The woman cashier was not wearing a mask and rudely responded when I told her I didn't have $2 for her to give me change for a $20 on a $6.54 bill. As for the food, the man behind the counter forgot to add hummus although I paid extra for that. The falafel had a very nice taste, although the preparer was heavy handed with the white sauce. When I opted for a pita instead of a roll, I expected the falafel to be IN the pita, not that the pita was to act as a wrap. I will go back to try the smoothies that looked terrific and also the make your own salad, with a wide variety of fresh items available. I don't know about ordering the same pita as I fear the language barrier will get in the way of making clear the options I want. read more

For a new store that still has big gaps in their stock, the counter dude needs to work on his greeting, as in there wasn't one. Sorry to interrupt your whole lot of nothing going on, but speaking when spoken to is Step 1 in Customer Service. As I make my way to the back thru a maze of open boxes, I'm curious as to why they aren't more fully stocked. They've been open too long to have such gaps in the Snapple case. The deli portion seems rearing to go. If I wanted coffee, there's a nice station by the door with packaged baked goods. But all I got was the runner-up fruit punch Snapple. I'm in the area enough, so I will try again, but right now it's a shiny, marble-topped meh. read more

I ordered from their "ranch burger co" on GrubHub and got absolutely nothing like what I ordered. Impossible meat burger looked gross, and was real beef, not vegetarian. "tater tots" were 2 soggy hash browns. Regular burger my partner ordered looked like it came from a public school cafeteria. read more

Healthy Choice - "tater tots" & "impossible burger" - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Let me start my review by saying "This is The healthiest corner store in this neighborhood". As other Yelp'ers have mentioned; they have a wide variety of toppings for salads, they offer fresh pressed juices, smoothies and they also make regular corner store sandwiches. Oh, they also have a small appetizer menu where they offer hummus, falafel etc amongst other little items. Let me not forget to mention that this is one of the most expensive corner stores in the neighborhood! I guess that's because they offer a "healthier choice". So if you're looking to buy something simple such as a bottle water, a soda or just a regular sandwich. I suggest you go to one of the "regular" corner stores in the neighborhood and save yourself some change. Pros: It's a convenience store! Duhh They have a healthier choice! Duhh They stay open pretty late! (We all know how hard it is to get something healthy to eat after midnight... even if it's not organic) Cons: There's alway only 2 ppl in here, but they need 3 (behind the counter). A Cashier, a sandwich maker and a salad maker! that can also make the juices. * Stay clear during rush hour! Also the Cashier can be rude when under pressure. 3 Stars because of the Pros listed above, and also because the store is well kept. It's very CLEAN!!! Thanks for reading!! This is just my opinion. However, I prefer an organic salad with live raw juice. TRUST ME! You can taste the difference in quality. But I don't mind supporting this business when I have No Other Choice. read more

Healthy Choice - S1. Create Your Own Salad - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

I live extremely close to this place. It's one of the best deli options in the area (may take first place). Salad bar, fresh juice/smoothies, sandwiches, self serve coffee/tea options, lots of cold drinks and snacks in the back section. I've had their salads and was never disappointed (at least to date). I'm very specific with my sandwiches too and they always comply. Since I'm not that forgettable (because of my hair) some of the staff already know what type of breakfast sandwich I order (Bacon, egg, & cheese with Avacado) so when they see me they just reconfirm that I want it. The smoothies are delicious too. I usually get Green Mountain, Peanut Butter lover, Valentine Kiss, Bonanza, High Blood Pressure, and a few others. After blending and serving your cup, if there's a little left over, they give you a small sample cup with the remainder for you to drink. Or they offer it up as a taste sample for other clients. It's very rare when I'm disappointed with what I purchase. The only instance I remember was ordering chicken tenders and they were over fried and tasteless. Reason for 4 stars: Despite the fact that I have no complaints on the food side, I have to note that sometimes ordering here takes a bite out of your wallet. I remember I ordered a breakfast sandwich, a smoothie and decided to grab a bag of trail mix and with tax, it came to about $23 with some change. I assumed the trail mix was about $10-12. I was rushing to work so I didn't really stop to find out. Rush hour and lunch are also quite hectic. Sometimes it takes forever to place an order in so I decide not to go. That's not really their fault though. I also have to note the behavior of one of the guys that makes the food/drinks. I decided to talk to him in Spanish to place my order because I saw that he was also hispanic. For me, if I know you can speak Spanish, I'm going to speak to you in Spanish. He flat out refused to talk to me in Spanish and would respond to my requests in English despite "teniendo cara de nopal" (Mom's quote). It was obvious he could understand what I was saying and I thought it was ridiculous. I don't know if it was because he's ashamed of speaking Spanish when the clientele here is largely English speaking. Or maybe he isn't allowed to speak Spanish to clients (which would be even more ridiculous). After some time of noticing his employment here (to present day) I've seen him talk in Spanish to the other Spanish speaking staff and he's lighten up a bit and speaks Spanish to me now. Anyway, I was baffled by his refusal and can only assume it was a personal choice. Something else I was disappointed by was the discontinuation of their small buffet. This was short lived. They made different options for a heavy meal (meat, veggies, rice/pasta) but it was discontinued for whatever reason. I thought it was quite unique since no other deli or place in the area offers such an option. Fun fact - I actually remember when the owner used to run his other deli on a Park and 116. That place unfortunately closed down after the gas explosion back in 2014 (RIP). As you can tell, I've been a long time customer and I'll probably swing by soon for breakfast if I wake up early enough. read more

The food is delicious. They have some of the most filling and flavorful sandwiches, salads, smoothies etc... The service wasn't great though. I came by to pick up my order after placing it online. I've ordered pickup from here before and usually, I just tell the cashier my name and he hands it to me. However this time, the cashier asked me my name and then asked me to identify myself by telling him what I ordered, because he said my name wasn't enough, so I did. Then he said that wasn't enough and he asked for my I.D. and so I showed it to him and then he said that wasn't enough and so I began pulling up my order confirmation and while l'm trying to he accuses me of holding up the line and lets all the customers behind me go first before getting back to me. It didn't help that the customers glared and made dismissive comments at me, as if it was my fault that the line was held up. And then he lectured me about how he can't just hand the food to anyone, he has to make sure it's to the right person. I guess next time I'll bring my passport, my birth certificate and call ahead to let him know I'm coming so as to not hold up the line. The food is very delicious and the rest of the workers were very kind and friendly. Despite this one moment things have been great ordering here. And I would definitely come back. read more

Healthy Choice is situated in a barren wasteland for solid breakfast/lunch options in East Harlem. This place is truly a last resort. After feeling ill from their salads I decided to give them another shot with their fruit (mixed berry bowl). I am only noticing now the "sell by" 12/2 (today is 12/4). There was mold on the blueberries and strawberries (pictured). They have careless tendencies, one man smoked a juul pod behind the counter, and for some reason many of the plastic bottles in the refrigerator have a grimey stickiness mixed with dust on them. CLARIFICATION EDIT: The mixed berry bowl was bought this morning (12/4). I wrote this review moments after I consumed some of the bowls moldy contents. The owner questioned me if I bought it last week - I did not *and* I have the receipt to prove it. read more

A hole in the wall spot but the selection was amazing. Super healthy smoothies and juices along with some very innovative sandwiches.

Their chicken cutlet sandwich is the best sandwich especially done by the best, ask for Chucky ! Aide is also a great cashier, anytime she's there she greets me with a great service ! This place is amazing. Always satisfied with everyone in there ! Best place hands down. read more

Went here to grab a sandwich since I had a training in the area. I ended up going with the Illegal with extra turkey. The wrap came out in about 5 minutes and was only $6--which was a great price for the size and the fact that it had avocado on it also. This is definitely a hot spot in the neighborhood and worth checking out for lunch. read more

Went there to order a wrap. Had to repeat myself 3 times what I wanted in a simple wrap. Then, another Asian guy comes in after me and puts in an order. Then, a Hispanic lady, who started to speak Spanish to the sandwich guy, comes in and orders her food. Then I noticed that she gets her sandwich first, and after that, the guy pops his head up and asks for my order again. That was extremely unprofessional and I believe race played a part in it. I'm Korean...FYI Also, when I was paying, the wrap was $6.50, after taxes $6.92. So the change was $13.07. How do I know that? Bc it said it on the cash register. The guy hands me $13 and starts ringing up the next customer. The $0.08 won't break my pockets but that was also very unprofessional. And the buffalo chicken tasted like old chicken they dressed up. read more

Healthy choice is amazing. Great food, friendly staff and great service. Always clean.

These guys transition from the traditional Harlem Deli to a health + wellness stores. They stay open until 1Am , very chill about helping you customize a salad lol. The place is clean, not to many people standing around as traditional Harlem spot. Only thing missing is the typica Harlem deli grocery Bodega cat :(. ( not sure how the health department would have felt ) They really are a good vibe, fresh Fruits and vegetables. Dope experience!!!! read more

Healthy choice is a pleasant stop to make whenever you're in the mood for a little pick-me-up: from energizing burgers, relaxing smoothies, including options for vegans and vegetarians, and bacon that's always halal!

In addition to a wide variety of drinks to quench your thirst, you can also find salads, yogurt, and ice cream! read more

I'm so glad this place opened. It's the best place I've found for smoothies in East Harlem. You can get a small, which is a decent size, for $3.99 and they even give you the extra smoothie that doesn't fit in a plastic cup. I love that they cut up the fresh fruit right in front of you, with no added sugars, but it's still very sweet! My current favorite is the Maui Mango. I haven't had any of the food, but you can see them making the deli items and it's all very clean and sanitary. There's never too many people, so it's a quick pit stop and the guys working there are very nice. read more

Best salad I ever had and that's saying a lot because I hate salads but they make a killer chicken avocado salad

I grab lunch here several days a week and I've always found tasty and healthy options! So, I had them cater a picnic in the park with some colleagues and everything was delicious - fresh fruit cups, falafel, salads, sandwiches and chips! Everyone had plenty to eat and they made it so easy for us and delivered right to the park! Would recommend 100% for catering and lunch! Thanks Quasem for hooking us up! read more

The upside: They have very good avocado smoothies. The salads are good. They deliver fast. The downside: Today 5/18 I placed an order of a smoothie & chicken fingers. The chicken fingers were burnt inedible. I called the store and was told they had to be burnt to be fully cooked....huh??? Where??? I make beautifully golden brown FULLY COOKED CHICKEN FINGERS. That's utterly ridiculous read more

The food had a weird smell to it. The smoothie taste like expired fruits. The guy at the counter was very rude.

These guys are kind! They look out for you and do small little favors that make your day. They make amazing smoothies that I literally come here every day for. Salad bar that has endless combinations. They are a great if you are in the neighborhood give it a visit. It could possibly be your deli of choice! read more

Oh my goodness as soon as I walked through the door the chef was cooking some chicken that smelled out of this world. He even let me taste it. He made a fresh and healthy sandwich. Next up I purchased a very fresh green drink. I met the owners brother and he offered me some of his chips. The customer service shocked me out of this world. I tipped them for their great hospitality. This is a great investment in Harlem. read more

The food is ok, however it is pricey its 45$ for 2 smoothies and 2 wraps.... the smoothie i asked for was a mango smoothie and i received a banana smoothie and it tasted like warm green plantains.... my salad was thrown on a cold wrap and my tuna melt wrap came in a panini not a wrap. I think if they get more organized with the orders it would be ok especially since its so expensive service should match the price. read more
