Conveniently located near both tram and subway lines, Ginger Root is a must-visit for any vegan or anyone looking to explore plant-based cuisine.
A really nice vegan place with great food, healthy portions and fair prices. I stopped here on a trip to Manhattan, as it was close to my hotel. Everyone on staff was super friendly, I really liked the vibe. My favorites were the general tso’s chicken and bean curd skins. Soup came with the meal and I added on some steam buns that were delicious too. I felt like I got a lot of food for my money, especially considering this is NYC. I only have positive things to say about Ginger Root. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m on the East Side
Casual vegan spot owned by a mom and pop. With daily lunch specials and a full menu of food choices, every time I come, it's like I'm finding something new to try. Dim sum, dumplings and seitan skewers are highlights. My favorite dishes are the full entrees such as vegan duck, Vegan black sesame beef and any stir fry with baby bok choy. The flavors, cooking methods and sauces are familiar -- like a Cantonese restaurant. Must try the pumpkin soup!
Vegan asian food!!! ? My favorite kind of food. Its a small place with a nice menu and a lot of choices. I was very impressed by the vegan lobster, delicious! The attention is very nice and the prices are cheap. I will be back for that lobster ?
