Best Health Resturant In NYC

by magicloop2009 at Citysearch

I ate places that are better, but most resturaunts are worse..... There is a bar with brewed drinks. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Me and my friends eat here quite often. Veggie and soy burgers are delicious, with the tahini dressing and a side order of avacados. They serve you fast here. On weekends, especially sundays, there can be big lines and crowds with the kids from NYU. I like this place is near the entertaining Washington Square park where I ride my bike. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner specialties are awesome and scrumptious. It can be alittole expensive depending on what you order. The deserts are amazing. I'd take this place over McDonalds and Burger King anyday.

• Pros: Healthy Food
• Cons: Could be a line to get in

awesome orange salad dressing keeps me coming back

by lucypeanut at Citysearch

yes, all Japanese places have orange ginger/sesame/soy salad dressing, but NO place has one as good as Dojo's. I would eat there everyday if I was on campus that often. Nothing but love for them.

• Pros: everything, especially the dressing
• Cons: none

Fast and healthy lunch

by mattmm13 at Citysearch

THERE IS something for everyone at this Health Food/Japanese/American style diner in the middle of NYU. Whether you want to eat healthy or entertaining out-of-owners, the selection of sandwiches, burgers, entrees and breakfasts is quite large.

THE FOOD was served super fast which was perfect if you need to get back to the office or class. I had their version of the turkey club served on healthy grain roll that included cucumber and some type of sprouts. The miso soup is very good. All the vegetables are fresh and colorful. If you are not a vegetarian, as I am, you might need to season your food to your palate.

THE SPACE is divided into two sections. The bar has enough seating for about a dozen patrons. The dining room is walled on two sides of windows and has a low-key vibe. The staff was helpful and nice.

CASH ONLY!!

• Pros: Good value; great selection of food, all with a healthy twist
• Cons: CASH ONLY; Depending what you order, the food can be bland for non-vegetartians

One of my regular places

by sersim25 at Citysearch

I started going to the one on E. 8th st because it was so close to my apartment. When they shut it down for health code problems (which, though i miss the close proximity, I don't blame them if it really was that bad) I started going to the one on W. 4th. I've been going here for 3 years and I love it. I'm a vegetarian and the food is always great. I always started with the French onion soup and then the Vegetable Don. Both are great. My fiancee has gotten the Veggie Burger every time and says it's her favorite and the best she's ever had (and we've tried many places since). The service can be spotty but the place is so cheap and the food is so good that I will keep going back. I recommend this place to everyone who wants a healthy, cheap meal.

• Pros: Great food, great prices
• Cons: Service can be spotty

OMFG - they serve TAR TaeM! (read the headline right to left, just reversed the word spelling)

by ratlegsandribmeat at Citysearch

No kidding, try ordering the "wings" appetizer, it has hair. Me and my GF almost threw up. This was our third and last visit, the food was always subpar but never out and out disgusting and it was a cheap place to eat and have a beer. This time was different - I know tar meat when I see it, don't believe me? Go see for yourself, I am getting sick just thinking about it. BTW - they won't let me write "tar" the normal way so I have to reverse it.

• Pros: price
• Cons: disgusting

Love my Hometown!

by eastvillageboy at Citysearch

After a HORRIBLE dinning experience in the 'South' with my family. I was just glad to get back home. My comfort zone here. They LIE like bandits down there. Horrible Food!!! But I can always find what I want here. Total comfort.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Service, sorry

Two words: TAHINI DRESSING

by jessilovesbacon at Citysearch

I don't know what exactly is in the tahini dressing.. but it's freaking awesome. This place is great for a quick bite without hurting your wallet -- just don't forget cash. The food has always been tasty, but service is sometimes less than perfect. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely worth a try.

• Pros: quick food, cheap & delicious
• Cons: cash only :(

DISGUSTING!

by eugen22 at Citysearch

This place has terrible food and I have been vegetarian for nearly 16 years. I believe it has also been closed down many times for health violations (?) - the salad I ordered had dirt on it. I have never eaten at a place that felt so dirty in my life (and I have also travelled to many third world countries). I would not return unless this was the last place to eat on earth!

• Pros: cheap, good location?
• Cons: disgusting food, dirty

Good veg food and prices, great drinks & cheesecake-- avoid the chicken

by bronxladette999 at Citysearch

I've been going to Dojo for a couple years now and I've always been happy with the veggie and soy burgers, and the girly drinks like cosmos and razberitinis. The veggie burger dish is by far my fave though and it's always delicious, they serve it in a pita instead of a bun and it comes with the tahini dressing which is really delicious. The only time I was ever dissatisfied with an order was when I got chicken once and it was pretty dry and didn't taste too good-- and I definitely felt sick later, though I'm not quite sure if it was from the chicken or just because I was really drunk that night. But either way I'm not much of a chicken person, the thing I'm really the authority on is veggie burgers and cheesecake-- both of which were great! :) Cheesecake is perfect, not too light and not too heavy. The only thing you take a gamble on is the waitsaff, sometimes you can get a good server or a decent server (I tipped very well the last time I went there with my friends because I was impressed at how cosmos the waitress was able to carry back to my table without spilling a single drop), but there's points when I had very disappointing service. Still, the good food, good prices, and fun atmosphere keep me coming back. Also, they don't take credit cards, it's cash only. That's a slight drawback since I prefer to charge most things I use/go to and prefer not to carry cash.

• Pros: Delicious cheap food & drinks, vegi burgers, tahini dressing, cheesecake, great location
• Cons: Waitstaff is a gamble, and cash-only
