SERVICE - located in midtown near corporate offices which makes it busy during lunch rush - seats available inside in tables of 2-4 or counter - bowls made fresh to order based on what you customize - restroom available for customers - service is friendly - good for a casual take out lunch/dinner MENU - build your own salad bowl with hot and cold components - vegan/vegetarian options available - average price ($16 per bowl) FOOD - tofu bowl with three sides (8/10): i got the roasted beets with lentils, the sautéed greens, and roasted sweet potatoes as the three sides. For dressings, I got turmeric tahini, avocado bean dip, and the beet hummus. The reason I enjoyed this salad was because some of the components were cooked which added both flavor and texture. There was a good balance of sweetness and creaminess along with the crunch of the nutty toppings. The tofu was okay but nothing spectacular. My favorites were the greens and the beets. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! Great quick lunch option with a lot of customization available read more

I usually go to the Little Beet in NoMad, but was in this area with a birthday reward to use (their $15 reward is still one of the best that exists), so I decided to check out this location off Park. I went after the lunch rush, so there was no line, service was quick, and there were plenty of available tables. I got the harvest turkey bowl, which came with rice, sweet potatoes, green beans, super seeds, chimichurri, and cranberry harissa. Flavors were great, but the portion size felt smaller than in the past. Hopefully it was just this time and not a company-wide change. Also, if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, one of my favorite things about Little Beet is that they provide extensive ingredient information online, including for seasonal options, which is so helpful. read more

*DON'T ORDER AHEAD OF TIME* I placed an online order at 12:30PM for 1:30PM pickup. Not only was my order not ready by 1:30PM, it wasn't ready by 1:50PM even after asking them to prioritize my order. A bunch of other people had issues with their online orders not being ready. By the time they got to my order, they told me they ran out of turkey as a part of their new Harvest Turkey Bowl. They also ran out of rice for someone else. They gave me a cookie for the inconvenience but there goes my entire lunch break. The food is good but don't order ahead of time. read more

Came into Little Beet during the weekday lunch rush. The staff were still being trained on new menu items and needed the menu cards to keep the ingredients straight, but it didn't slow down service too much. I got a build your own and thought the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Didn't sit down in the restaurant, but it generally seemed clean and well-maintained and the AC felt great after walking outside. Would grab and go from here again! read more

I used to be a huge fan but the portions have gotten way too stingy to justify the price. Take your lunch money elsewhere!

My coworkers encouraged me to go here because it is close to my job. Like any place nearby I budget $20 for this excursion. To my surprise, it ran me below my expectations (~$14). But, depending on what you add, you can definitely get there. I ordered personalized bowl but there were some highlights. Beet Falafel: It has a denser texture to most traditional falafel. It's almost "meaty" but, relatively bland. It is a nice source of plant protein meatball. Spicy noodle salad: To be honest, I really liked this for all the wrong reasons. It was more acidic than spicy and I am sucker for vinegar. The noodles were nice and not overly soft. All in all, for the price, I would go again. It's nice place to get food. My only concern is that there is alot of salt so, be careful with the different sauces P.S: Just make sure to come before the lunch rush or order online. read more

Little Beet - A mixed bowl of stuff - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

I LOVE THE LITTLE BEET. I've tried the location at the Westchester in White Plains and it's so amazing. A lot more calm that's for sure. Once I was in the city and in desperate need of something quick and fresh I knew I had to try one of these locations. It's just like walking into a chipotle except you first pay and pre order your food and toppings. They take care of adding everything and you just pick it up once it's ready. Just make sure to hear your name get called. You may order ahead of time via the little beet app and just pick it up. Of course, this location is swamped during lunch time so I'd definitely suggest to order ahead if you're in a rush. Ingredients are so fresh and delicious. Big portions that will have you filled up but with plenty of nutrients. In season produce available as well. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, quick and ready to go. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. All sides are gluten free. What is there not to love about this place? read more

Walked a ways to get here and I was pleased! The food in the assembly line looks fresh and well prepared. For some reason the staff didn't realize they were out of salmon when I asked and had to cook it right then which an inconvenience but I had time so it was fine. My order: Field Greens, charred zucchini, seared salmon (cooked perfectly), chickpea Greek salad & super seeds. Oh and I highly recommend trying the chimichurri sauce if you're ok with a strong garlic flavor !! It was also very nice to be able to sit and eat inside however I didn't see sanitation between visits and there was no access to hand sanitizer. Nevertheless I want to go back!! read more

I ordered lunch via the Little Beet app last week, but when I arrived 20 minutes later my food wasn't ready. After waiting a bit someone started making my order (salmon with green beans and zucchini). Unfortunately they were out of green beans, and had just one small piece (tiny piece) of salmon left. Rather strange for 1:30pm on a weekday but the chef said he wasn't making any more of anything so that was that. So I requested a refund....which I had to wait forever for. The cashier handed me a receipt that read "void" on it. But as I suspected, my card was charged. Ultimately I disputed the charge with Amex so it wasn't a bit deal but seriously, this location is terrible. I had such a good experience with the Little Beet on the UES so I guess I'll just return to that location next time around. read more

Great place for a takeout lunch. Healthy crush options and the roast pork is one of the best in the neighborhood.

Great place, incredible food and great service! TJ just made me an incredibly delicious Pork Bowl. Place is super healthy too! Come here now! read more

I have been able to try new restaurants all because new mealpal On this day, I decided to pick up the meal here after I saw the meal was jack fruit platter. I had only tried the bbq jack fruit which had a meat consistency once before and it was delicious. The place used local, seasonal and natural ingredients basically farm to table meals. It was located on W. 51 St by Park Ave (even though address is Park Ave). It has a door cover to prevent the whole restaurant from being cold. Came in and was looking for the QR cold. I noticed it was on the wall next to the meal. All the meals were made and stacked against the wall on the right hand side. You scanned and pick up the meal. The whole process was on the honor system. The dine-in seats are in the middle of the restaurant. This meal consists of organic quinoa, bbq jackfruit, charred onions, black beans, chipotle slaw, golden beets, sesame seeds, avocado, pickled onions, chipotle aioli (gf & vegan). This was delicious, filling and I couldn't believe it is vegetarian. Can't wait to try this again and other dishes. read more

Ok so everyone that reads my reviews know that I am usually a carnivore so when I do venture into a salad or vegetarian friendly place, it's gotta live up to the hype. This place is fairly new to the hood and is already a very well run machine. Tried and true formula, you get on an assembly line ordering system - choose your salad base, the main ingredients and select toppings. I had the "healthy salad" on this visit and all the ingredients were very fresh. The citrus yuzu dressing gave it a nice sour and tart finish. I totally recommend. The ingredients are from locally sourced farmers and their motto is "what grows together goes together"...catchy. Everything did look fresh (even if my photos didn't show it) but I was rushing so couldn't do that and order at the same time. LOL Tips to share: the ingredients could be seasonal so don't expect it to always look the same. So on that note, if you have a favorite, check your local store location online first to see if it's available. And the menu is Gluten-Free. read more

The Quick: So many delicious healthy options! Lines shorter than most salad spots. Vegan options that are not just lettuce. The Details: Most healthy foods can be boring, but this spot is excellent with tons of lunch options. The line is never as crazy as some of its competitors in the area, and it's just more interesting. Sustainable ingredients you feel good about eating!! The Damage: Most lunches I get are around $9 read more

Pro tip, must order online if you're going during lunch rush. It's so quick to pick up your order if you order online instead of waiting on the super long line. I come here often for lunch and it's one of my favorite fast-casual places. The broccoli rabe and white beans is my jam. So is the bbq jackfruit (SO GOOD!), the sweet potatoes, beet hummus, charred broccoli, the list goes on. Need a bit of crunch in your life? Add the superseeds (or the superseed avocado if you're feeling fancy) and everything tastes that much better. Always looking forward to getting lunch from little beet! read more

If you're looking for food that super healthy but tastes more flavorful than something that looks super healthy, The Little Beet is your place! The lunch crowd packs this place in but if you get here right at 12 or after 1, you're sure to move quickly through the line. I went with two coworkers/friends that had been before and was excited to try the Brussel Hustle. This salad is out of this world! Shaved brussel sprouts, over a bed of lettuce, seeds, avocado, pecorino cheese, pickled onions, chicken, the works! It was so good and so filling that I left half of it and totally forgot to take it home for later....Whomp whomp. They have one other salad that I believe is heavier on the avocado (I'm not the biggest avocado fan **I know what KIND of Millennial am I?!**) so I probably won't be trying that one. They also have a choose your own system where you pick and choose from proteins and sides and ultimately create a plate to your liking. The sweet potato mac & cheese and even the bbq tofu looked delicious. They also offer FREE water (unheard of in Manhattan) if you want to stay in but not buy one of the fancy overpriced drinks in the fridge. There's a few tables if you decide to stick around and eat but move quick once you finish since there's always a wait. I knocked off a star because of the prices. Look, I get it, it's the city. Yes, typically lunch is expensive 'round these parts. But $12 for a salad (which yes is filling and yes is quite delicious) is way too expensive. Will I come here in the future? Absolutely. Will it become a weekly lunch spot? Never. I'm grateful they offer the free water if you dine-in and the line does move quick and the employees are always in a good mood BUT the prices are ridiculous. I do love The Little Beet, though. Healthy food that's actually delicious? Sign me up. read more

Delicious and nutritious food. Love how they focus on a paleo style for most menu items. Everything tasted amazing and wholesome. I loved their turmeric sauce. The spiced tofu was pretty good too. The turmeric almonds and super seeds at the end are a must to add- they pack in a nutritious and delicious crunch. I highly recommend this place and hope I can visit again! read more

I had never heard about Little Beet until a friend mentioned it for lunch one afternoon. In NYC they have all sorts of places like this. Each have a theme and pride themselves on being healthy options. This falls into that category. It is a quick service operation and sort of like a spinoff of dig inn. Since it is called little beet I had to try the beet falafel. It was one of the more interesting things I have had but I can't say it was bad. I ordered a bunch of veggies on it that all tasted like they were cooked fresh. It is kind of expensive honestly but it is NYC and they have rent to pay. I will say the store was very clean. They are busy during the lunch hour so there may be a small wait. Overall, I was pretty happy with it. Looks like they have multiple locations so glad to see people like it. If you like dig inn you will like this place. read more

I work in midtown and The Little Beet is one of the many 'lunch bowl' type spots in the area. I've been here several times now and it's definitely one of the better options!! The food tastes fresh, yummy and healthy and the food options are unique (unlike your typical Mexican/Mediterranean options). It's a great place for vegetarians/vegans and meat eaters both! They also have interesting protein options like beet falafel and bbq jackfruit...yum! The build your own bowls run about $10-15 which is pretty standard as far as these lunch bowl places go. I recommend getting the level up app and you will get $5 off your first order read more

Extremely poor marks for food safety. Love(d) their Yuzu Poke Bowl until my last visit when I witnessed the lady who had been rinsing a rag in cleaning solution and wiping down the service counter proceed to use her hand, not a serving utensil, to scoop out salmon poke to refill the serving container. The image of her slapping and pressing the salmon poke while wearing the same hand-glove covered with cleaning solution and germs from the rag is completely unappetizing, not to mention unsafe. Really unfortunate because Little Beet was my 'go-to' lunch destination. read more

This was an outstanding find in New York City during a recent trip. The Little Beet's entire menu is gluten-free, which was an immediate win. It is a typical pick-your-own ingredients for a bowl place. I opted to go with the Jack Bowl, which had jack fruit, organic quinoa, onions, black beans, chipotle slaw, avocado, pickled onions and chipotle aioli. It was amazing and a perfect portion for lunchtime. Even though the line was long when I entered, it moved quickly and I received my food in a reasonable amount of time. read more

The food was delicious and very fresh! I tried Little Beet at a conference but the bowls were pre-made so I wanted to try it fresh. I decided to go with the salmon over brown rice with the shredded brussel sprouts and roasted kale as my two veggie options. I played around with sauces and tried both the sweet chili and chipotle aioli. I was super pleased with my meal and thought the flavors blended well. The restaurant was a bit crowded which made ordering sort of hectic but the team handled it relatively well. read more

I've ordered online here from their app several times over the past few months. The past 5 times we've gotten the wrong orders -- missing proteins, missing sides, missing sauces, wrong base, etc. I've sent numerous emails and complaints with pictures/proof to let them know so it doesn't happen to other customers. I've gotten zero responses from the company nor any attempt to try and remedy. Terrible customer service time and time again. read more

I didn't take a picture but the food was amazing. I had the basmati rice w sweet potatoes, string beans, salmon and pork. The food was good and fresh. Every worker at this location has great customer service. I told my server I've never eaten there and she gave me a recommendation. My coworker went there after me and said the same thing. Bravo guys! read more

Food was tasty, healthy and good portions size. The line moved quickly which is always a plus for a mid week lunch. It was a little bit expensive but I think I added too many toppings, back to my earlier comment - lol. read more

As so many others have so clearly expressed, this is a "poor man's Dig Inn". For days when you don't have enough time to walk over to the actual Dig Inn and have to make do with the one nearby. I had the salmon poke bowl, which is ok. Comes with marinated salmon, brown rice, watermelon radish, guac (the highlight), sushi ginger, scallions, and their signature slaw. The slaw tasted off but I can't quite figure out why. Everything else is ok just marginally not as good as Dig Inn. Also there were two random dry pistachios somewhere in my bowl (not sure if part of slaw) that almost broke my teeth. That and a drink (small kombucha) set me back for about $20, quite pricey for what it is. TBH idk why there's still a premium to NYC style "poke" when any deli can throw a bunch of things together and label as such... Overall, expensive for what it is. The food can be improved. read more

Trendy lunch spots are all the rage. And while I'm normally not one to spend $12+ on lunch, LB surpassed my expectations. While solid ingredients are their mainstay, my usual lunch must fall under the category of "what can fill me the most before heading into this 2-hour meeting" In terms of picking, their beet falafel wasn't too shabby. Get all the sweet potatoes to your heart's content. read more

I don't usually work around midtown east and most places in the area are sit-down restaurants, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to try this fast casual joint! The place was very clean and the line moved relatively fast/efficiently. My choice of the day was the Jack Bowl which has BBQ jackfruit, sesame avocado, some greens, black beans, quinoa, and some kind of spicy sauce that almost tasted like sriracha. Disclaimer: I am not vegan, but wow the BBQ jackfruit actually tasted like pulled pork; I would have been tricked if they didn't tell me! The ingredients were fresh, clean tasting, and satisfying to the palate. After finishing the meal I wasn't too full, but not left starving. Initially, I didn't expect much from this place but I'd definitely come back to try their other options or make my own bowl. read more

We found this place by accident. We were supposed to try Just Salad but we were having a hard time locating it and when we did we noticed The Little Beet right next door. We went in just to see what was on the menu and boy were we glad to find this gem. I had the Yuzu Poké bowl it had cooked salmon, brown rice, ginger, avocado and red cabbage. The combination was absolutely delicious. My coworker ordered the falafel squash bowl and she was very satisfied with her meal as well. Over all, this place by far is one of the most amazing lunches I ever had in the city. read more

this location has gone down hill, but i'm hopeful they will turn it around because there are a few locations with incredible customer service. little beet is a 100% gluten-free eatery. basic staff training should include awareness of food allergies. i came here 3x in one week, and emani refused to serve me within +/- 30 min of closing. i told her my husband can't eat anything else at this hour, and she LAUGHED. so, an employee wanting to go home early(er) could mean the difference between someone being able to eat at night, or not. davis saved our dinner on the 3rd night and even offered to make more food in the back. read more
