So much flavour! - Edit
Incredible menu with a lot of choice. Excellently flavourful vegan meat substitutes and perfectly fried veggies! All the food we got felt very light and filled us up without that heavy, too-full feeling. I would recommend getting the drunken basil noodles and the combo dumplings.

Delicious - especially the appetizers - Edit
Had a delicious dinner here. My partner and I opted for 1 main dish and 4 appetizers between the two of us, because most of the really exciting options are appetizers (sushi, peking buns, dumplings, etc…). You really can’t go wrong with any of the choices, they were all delicious!
Read moreI also very much appreciate the wide variety of meat-substitutes used. This gives each dish a unique quality and stops the dishes from being too similar.
Highly recommended!

Nice Food - Edit
I wish I'd been hungrier when I visited so I could have ordered more dishes! We tried the Singapore curry angel hair, the spicy Korean hot pot, and the duck stone bowl, and we were all very happy. The duck had a really nice texture, and it was fun to have all the crunchy rice around the side of the bowl. Service was fast and friendly, and it's a really nice place.

Absolute heaven! - Edit
I lived in Korea for 8 years pre-vegan and when I come here I can eat and drink some of my favorite Korean foods and drinks while having everything made both vegan and perfectly! They have a range of Asian food, but my favorites are always the Korean dishes❤️

Can’t wait to try more - Edit
We were feeling like a light dinner after the huge lunch we had so we didn’t try as many dishes here as we would have liked. We got the spicy kimchi bibimbap (with brown rice) and vegetarian curry hotpot. Both were amazingly good! Loved the vegan chicken in the curry! Next time I’d like to try their kimchi dumplings or pancakes.

Might be the best meal I’ve ever had - Edit
My palette had things it didn’t recognize or only vaguely recognized in the most exciting way with the yakitori, and the stone bowl duck dish was sizzlin’ and superb. The Reincarnation cocktail was refreshing, and I’m excited to try the black sesame pie (which i brought back to the hotel for desert). Separate GF menu with knowledgeable staff.

My favorite restaurant on the planet. - Edit
I’ve been here four times, each time it’s absolutely blown my mind.
Read moreThe sushi rolls are creative and delicious, all of the entrees are vibrant and fun. Great cozy atmosphere.
It’s quite expensive (or maybe I just over order each time) but worth it for a top tier vegan experience.
Pros: Food is unbelievable , Creative and delicious options , Incredibly cozy
Cons: Expensive , Can never order everything I want

Sooooooo delicious! The mock meats in the penang noodles were varied and each were scrumptious. Fried dumplings were amazing. Can’t wait to come back, they have so many different options. Vanilla ice cream was quality as well.

Delicious rice bowls and ramen! - Edit
Stopped here for lunch after our first choice had too long of a wait, and wow I’m so glad we ended up here! We got the spicy kimchi stone bowl and and zen ramen lunch special with dumplings and it was all so good. The dumplings were some of the best I’ve had, the ramen was light but still had a lot of flavor, and the rice bowl was sizzling and spicy and so so good! I highly recommend coming here!

Korean fusion at its finest - Edit
There aren't enough words to express how much I love Franchia.
Read moreJudging by the name, you'd have no idea it's a Korean fusion restaurant. My boyfriend was pleasantly surprised when he saw the menu, worried that it would just be tea sandwiches and salads.
There are so many different options, and (mostly) everything I've ever tried is great. Especially love their spicy chicken roll.
I've found that I'm not a fan of vegan seafood (like the Zeastar salmon) which is what they used in their chirashi bowl. Just a textural thing, but my boyfriend enjoyed it.
Lovely interior and service is quick.
Pros: Vegan Korean, Tons of options

Tasty vegan options - Edit
We got two entrees: the spicy chicken and meatballs and the sashimi with crab. The chicken was fantastic, the meatballs were good but a bit mushy, the sashimi had a perfect texture and wasn't too fishy, and the crab was better than most fish-based crab I've had.
Read morePros: Great vegan imitation meats, Vegan sashimi is unique , Setting and service
Cons: Expensive

Ambiance, Service, Delicious Food - Edit
Dish after dish of complex tasting, gorgeous food. We had soup of the day (cauliflower), chicken satay, pho, combo pancakes and mocha cake. All were amazing! The service is helpful and attentive and the ambiance is beautiful yet casual. A must-visit!

Truly excellent - Edit
Everything we ate was perfectly prepared, from the perfectly-spiced broth of the Penang noodle soup down to the slight crunch of the broccoli in the stone bowl (highly recommended for the delicious crunchy rice that sticks to the bottom!). The Korean wines are really delicious too. We took two non-vegans with us and they loved it and couldn't believe how realistic the chikin dish was! Definitely one of our favorite places we've tried in New York so far.
