Plant-Blossom — Restaurant in New York

A friend told me "Hey, there's a new vegan place opening in your neighborhood! It's right on 57th & 10th". That's one avenue from my apartment. I was certain he must be mistaken.

I was about to order from my usual. A trusty, affordable place nearby that has a few good vegan options and always hits the spot. But it's not something I would ever get excited about. There really isn't any place around me (with decent vegan options - obvi) that I'd ever be EXCITED about ordering from.

Well even though the store looks like it doesn't open for another week -- I looked them up online and sure enough, they were already on Door Dash.

You know how when you see a menu, and they offer a little of everything (asian, sandwiches, smoothies, italian...) it usually seems like "Ohh, they're not gonna be good at most of these."

I know a really posh vegan place that's mostly asian themed and when I get a vegan chicken parm there - I dunno - there's something about the sauce that's just off. Like it tells me "This is made by someone who doesn't usually eat a chicken parm sandwich."

Well.... I wanted to find out for myself. If this place wasn't good at something, I wanted to find out ASAP.

So I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap -- and then a meatball sandwich -- and banana pancakes (hold the pecans please)

I figured these things are all decently distinct enough that it would reveal which style Plant Blossom isn't great at, so I know what to get there, and what to avoid.

BY GEORGE! I THINK THEY'VE GOT IT!

Absolutely -- EVERYTHING -- was incredible! Like right-on-the-money! The meatball sandwich gave me everything I'd have wanted from a good meatball sub (more of a sandwich than sub). The buffalo chicken wrap was..... I can't even describe it.

And the pancakes I had a day or two later as reheated leftovers. Even re-heated 36 hours later -- they were PERFECT. AND they're available from 11am til 8pm all week, so no more "pancakes are for weekend mornings only!"

Textures, flavors, sauces... even presentation. Plant Blossom overlooks exactly ZERO details! They get it -- they know you want to have a great experience, and they deliver!

This place really is special. The fact that I now have this place an avenue away from my home... like... it changes everything for me!

PLANT BLOSSOM! Welcome to my...

It's really great to have a vegan/vegetarian option down the street on the days we don't have time to make lunch on the weekends, and to know that said food is fresh, flavorful and full of variety! This is not a dine-in, sometimes they might put a table or two our front during the summer, but plan on ordering ahead and picking up for take-out. Between my husband and me, we have tried a couple of the veggie burgers, the vegan philly cheesesteak, buffalo wild wings and the fries. Keep in mind, just because it's vegan, doesn't make it healthy! This food will definitely be indulgent and rich in its own way, but it's a nice treat once in a while. They do a really nice job with their sauces and offering a vast variety of mainstream foods made vegan. So if you're craving what would normally be a meat item, but are vegetarian, then this is your...

I might try it again, but for the price I probably won't unless I'm desperate. First off the wings honey bbq are spicy it and should also indicate how many wings you get in the order. Then I wanted to add fries like a combo it shows add fries on the menu, but that wasn't an option for wings so with a burger it's $3.50 she told me it's a little bit more because it's a separate bigger order... ok I get my order and it's maybe 20 fries in there, you can see the bottom of the container. I look at my receipt and it's $6! Way over priced. For that alone I would never again. Fix your menu to be specific because if the person doesn't understand what you are asking it's annoying. I was trying to order the Pad Thai, but I guess they don't have that during lunch? So the same 15 plus dollars I could've had an actual meal that I wanted in the...
