    I already knew Williamsburg has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to dining choices, but it was the first time Jamie W. and I walked on Bedford Avenue. We were tempted by several choices after crossing the Williamsburg Bridge and traipsing through Domino Park. This pan-Asian vegan restaurant is actually on North 10th Street a half-block away from Bedford. A local vlogger in Brooklyn recommended it, and well, we wanted to have a healthy lunch since we had been gluttons on our vacation. Overall our choices were OK but definitely not outstanding. We shared an order of the $8.50 Seitan Skewers with Satay Sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/LzNm8onMVD). Shaped into spheres like meatballs, the consistency was "meaty" and the sauce helped heighten the flavor. Neither of us cared much for the $7.50 BBQ Vegan Ribs which were slices of soy protein covered in a too-sweet citrus sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/K5ZEpY0Hhr). The $10.50 Avocado Salad was pretty decent with vegan cheese, cucumber, and a carrot ginger dressing (photo: https://yelp.to/dHuxlnduVc). The $3.50 Miso Mushroom Soup was satisfying (photo: https://yelp.to/ohErzvD2dH), though we just found our overall meal less than memorable. FOOD - 3 stars...rather unmemorable vegan fare though not for lack of trying AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious enough SERVICE - 3.5 stars...on the quiet side TOTAL - 3 stars...need to be choosier about which vloggers I can trust RELATED - Exploring Brooklyn? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2V51pX7

    Soy nuggets
    Denise S.

    Honestly, I'm very mad at the reviews on this place. I was confident when I looked at peoples pictures and I read reviews and it seemed like everyone was very satisfied with this place. Me and my husband decided to give this place a try and it was horrible. I ordered the soy nuggets and a mixed green salad. Those were the worst nuggets I have ever experienced. They were soggy and weird and too soft in the middle, then they had big pieces of edamame in it. The sauce that came with the nuggets were also just yucky. I was not that mad at that, I was like OK just not for me so let me just get a big green salad. He said they had a very good mango dressing to go with it. When he brought that salad out it looked beautiful with the variety of all types of greens but that sauce tasted horrible! It was like they just took mango juice and just poured it all over the salad. My husband ordered the basil soy and a spring roll with a ginger tea. He can eat anything but he couldn't finish this. The spring rolls was just full of cold thick cut vegetables. He also offered basil soy ,the vegetables was not fresh. It looked like it was some leftover vegetables they threw together. I would never go back here again and I suggest no one else does because I don't know what happened that day, but it was horrible.

    Sandra L.

    I really enjoyed the food here. The mushroom dish was really cool and unlike anything I've had before. The soy protein dish was good but I personally found the sauce to be overwhelming but the texture of the soy was great. Not pictured was the miso soup and brown rice it came with, both of which were great. I would come back here. 2 entrees was about $41

    A9. Vegetable Dumplings and S1. Miso Mushroom Soup
    Elijah B.

    This is an all vegan restaurant with tons of options on its expansive menu. The orange seitan is an absolutely delicious option that tastes just like its chicken-based counterpart. The sauce is sweet and spicy, comes with rice and soup. The inside is standard, it's seems like a lot of locals in Williamsburg order takeaway from here.

    M7. Basil Soy Protein
    Irene S.

    Finding good vegan food that has both clean ingredients and amazing taste is difficult in my opinion so when I saw the reviews on wild ginger I had to experience it for myself. For starters we had tom yum soup, crispy soy protein nuggets and the bbq vegan ribs. For our main dish we ordered Thai basil fried rice along with Malaysian Curry Stew and basil soy protein. Then ended with the pumpkin cheesecake and peanut butter bomb. My favorites were the crispy so protein nuggets cause it literally almost tasted just like a chicken nugget and the sauce that came with it was delicious. Basil soy protein which has so much flavor and just the right amount of veggies to so protein and the peanut butter bomb. I am big into dessert and the peanut butter bomb was just the perfect touch to satisfy my sweet tooth. Now the rest of the food was just as equally amazing and to top it off the service was impeccable. We were greeted with a friendly smile and the waiter was very helpful in helping us decide what was the best dishes in the menu. The food portion was plenty and the price affordable. The food came out in a timely fashion and the atmosphere was calming and inviting. Overall we had an amazing time and will definitely be back again.

    Wonton Soup
    Jessie H.

    Just visited again on Saturday for the first time in such a long time. Everything was fresh and delicious. I love that everything is 100% Vegan. I really hope they evolve, and add more items to their menu. The Vegan scene is constantly changing, it would be wonderful to see new items on the menu, new desserts on the menu also. We got the Red curry Seitan, It was delicious , but it was missing the vegetables eggplant, cauliflower , just FYI. General Tso's Soy Protein , amazing! and crispy soy protein nuggets w/ plum sauce, also a Wonton soup. everything was fresh, and tasty. We will be back again soon!!!!! Ps. everything is served in plastic containers, due to Covid19, the staff, cleans and sanitizes after each customer. Thank you

We happened to get there during brunch for our first visit, which was great because it was a mix of both lunch and breakfast options. We split one main dish from each part of the menu. The Tofu Benedict was the best Benedict I've ever eaten IN MY LIFE, and also top three best breakfasts I've ever had. The smoked tomato is what makes that dish extra special. The rosemary home fries on the side were also incredible and I'm really picky when it comes to potatoes. We also split the Chickpea Parm sandwich but I was so full that I ended up taking a majority of my half sandwich home. Which was perfect because it was even better cold! The Italian flavors mixed with the savory chickpea patty and the bitter greens was just perfect. The only thing that wasn't great (not docking any stars for this) was dessert. We ordered the Strawberry "Tiramisu." I'm putting Tiramisu in quotes because I detected no espresso and no cinnamon. It was super bland. I let my husband eat most of it. Would not order that again. I am looking forward to returning! The wait staff were really friendly, the ambiance was super pretty, and food came out super fast and hot. Perfection.

Warm atmosphere, a strong selection of vegan food and drinks, and the kind of place that made the evening feel special without trying too hard. It's since closed, and from what I understand it wasn't about the food or the love from regulars, it was the brutal economics of running a sit-down restaurant in a delivery-and-takeout world. Nine years of serving genuinely great vegan comfort food in Williamsburg, done in by margins rather than quality. That's a rough way for a good restaurant to go. If you ever got to eat here, you know what was lost. If you didn't, I'm sorry you missed it.

HAAM had been on my must-visit list for over two years, so I was excited to finally check it out. The real highlight of my visit was Ajaya. She was both my hostess and server, and her hospitality was outstanding from start to finish. She recommended the empanada appetizer, which was absolutely delicious, and a refreshing drink made with sorrel, tamarind, and lime juice that was easily one of the best things I had all day. If management sees this, please recognize Ajaya. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the experience enjoyable. For my entrée, I ordered the steak and rice. The vegan steak itself was impressive--the chuck-style texture was spot on and really satisfying. Unfortunately, the rest of the plate didn't quite match it. The steak was only warm, the rice and beans were barely warm, and the chimichurri lacked the bright, flavorful punch I was expecting. On the bright side, the sweet plantains arrived piping hot, perfectly caramelized, and were easily the standout on the plate. After waiting more than two years to visit, the food didn't quite live up to the anticipation. That said, Ajaya's service absolutely did. She was the star of the show, and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

The fries were good and so was the banana pudding, which was relatively small. I would say I had a decent first experience here but I'd probably order and stand outside next time around.
