Nice place to stop by for lunch.
I had the Buddha Bowl. It was delicious! The server was very patient and accommodating since I had never been there before. Vegetarian options: Fairly large vegetarian options. The food is on the healthy side.
I’ve been coming here for years as it is one of the few healthy places you can get on-the-go. That being said, I’ve always felt the staff is extremely hostile. I typically don’t pay much attention to customer service but the blatant, callous attitude by workers is palpable at the 82nd st location! All the time, for years! I’ve never seen anyone smile at me or act as if they have any interest in being there or doing their job. It’s also hard to justify paying $15-16 a bowl when employees are responsible for your portions and lately have been adding little ingredients to each.
Refused to honor coupon given to me at time of purchasing gift cards. Manager said it was good until end of January 2024 at time of purchasing gift cards but employee at checkout refused to accept it. Don’t honor their word. Offered me these coupons as inventive to buy the gift card, essentially getting 20% off and then refused to honor them. Well, you lost two customers today over $5 coupon.
First time, ladies behind the counter were awesome. Went with Sweet Potato Bowl (made vegan) with Thai Cashew Dressing. So good! I'm so glad I stopped.
First time eating here. The food was really good and fresh. Didn't feel bogged down from eating the typical faster food.
