Both pitas were good, filling, and as others have mentioned, I also forgot to ask for sauces they offer only if asked, which might have taken the pita from a 4 to a 5 (unlikely). Solid spot for lunch and it gets busy, so get there a bit early to avoid the line and the rush when assembling your order.

Upon entering, the space seems limited, seating for a total of 6-8 people max. We went simple this time for a falafel pita. Ordering was cafeteria style with two people manning the station. The wait after ordering was around 5-10mins and it didn't come with sauces either. Only later found out you can ask for them thanks to another customer letting us know. The pita Falafel was average, a little dry for me, maybe if I had the sauces, then it would have changed the flavor/texture?, only suggestion would be to offer add-ons/sauces if that's a option.

Five flavor plate - a nice amuse-bouche that went through a series of flavors: Hawthorne jelly for sour, yams for sweet - butter melon jelly for bitter, mushroom.and black pepper for spicy, and radish cracker for salty. The bitter melon was my favorite and definitely wasn't that better - it had pleasant spices almost like a chutney. Next was mushrooms in a light cucumber sauce, followed by a savory and thick 18 vegetable soup. This was a nice back to back contrast of light and simple with rich and hearty. The next three courses were aiming to imitate meat a little more. The first was a grilled mushroom over fragrant green millet. Then, sweet and sour tofu skin, and another grilled mushroom covered in a curry sauce. Of these, the tofu skin was my favorite as the bright course in between the savory ones. Next was rice in a savory broth with peach jelly, and then a nutty noodle dish with a smooth and creamy sauce with a nice blend of spices. These helped round out the meal, and the noodles were especially tasty. To end was a dessert made from berries and sweet potato, almost with the texture of ice cream. Reservation is required and the meal is prepaid except for tip. The whole thing came to about $130 each after tax and tip. I found the meal to be less heavy than most other tasting menus and very creative.

Served as a progressive prix fixe menu, dishes arrive one after the other. We started with a delightful five-flavor plate--each bite focusing on a different taste profile--plus cucumber-sauced mushrooms and a grounding Bodhi Buddha soup. Rich matsutake mushrooms and sweet-and-sour riblets followed, paired with bowl-steamed rice and noodles, before finishing with a refreshing sweet potato dessert. Service is smooth. Our server, Hannah, paced the courses briskly and professionally, perfect since we had a show afterward. Still, block out at least an hour and a half to truly enjoy the thoughtfully curated meal. The space is fully wheelchair friendly with wide pathways. Because it is strictly reservation-only, plan ahead. It works beautifully for celebrations or a romantic evening.

I was excited about the turkey meatball bowl, but it was cold and btwn the pomegranate seeds and stale pistachios just presented too many hard bits. The lentils and rice were also a bit dried out as well. I also tried the kale salad and subbed for salmon amounting to $30. This salad is unfortunately nowhere near justifying that price. Not to mention the kale was not 'marinated' or even massaged for that matter (see pics) Given the minimal ingredient inclusions and tough nature of the roughage, it definitely needs some work. I love beets and were excited for them but they weren't remotely sweet, which was a bummer. The turkey sandwich included was not as the menu described and contained avocado, which was for the one guest who does not like avocado.

The service was pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful from the minute we walked in without a reservation. The ambiance and decor was gorgeous and took me out of NYC for a moment. The phenomenal taste of the first sip of the Thai Iced Tea that paired so well with the rest of my meal is the reason behind the first picture I took. For the apps we ordered my favorite- Chicken Curry Puffs and Chicken Satay. The Chicken Curry Puffs were soft and perfectly mashy on the inside and had a perfect crisp to the layered outside. The Chicken Satay was so different here and yet so savory served with this soft garlic bread. The sauces were so fresh, vibrant and distinct and added to both the appetizers. The peanut sauce had crushed peanuts and was such an accompaniment to texture. For the mains, we had the Chicken Pad Thai and the Braised Beef Short Rib in Penang Curry. The Pad Thai was a great standard and tasty with the crisp sprouts and zesty lime. This Braised Beef Short Rib is where it is at! One of their house specialties- the decadent flavors and textures of this dish is something that will be memorable and just the right touch of spice. Lovely bright orange sweet potatoes and beautiful green beans went so well together with the beef and curry. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and not defaulting to my usual. Warmed up Chicken Pad Thai on the pan over the stove today in a little bit of butter, this was as delicious as it was going to get today. I missed one of the most exquisite Thai Iced Teas I've had in a while, it truly set the tone of how great this late lunch was.

The seitan skewers were fun and you don't miss the meat. It was quite hearty. I personally love and recommend the pumpkin soup! Most dinner entrees come with soup so do ask for the pumpkin if it's available. The spinach dumplings were tasty but a tad over steamed. The dough fell apart when we tried to pick it up. That shouldn't be. My friend recommended the cold green noodles with peanut sauce. For the peanut fan, you'll enjoy it a lot. As for entrees, I thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian duck and the vegan black pepper beef with mushrooms. Both come with green veggies and the underlying sauce is oyster sauce when they stir fry it. Great texture and flavors, you don't miss the meat! That's what makes this menu great. Don't forget the vegan desserts! You won't believe it is...my go to favorites -- coconut cake, the brownies and the peanut butter whoopie pies.

When I was in the UES this past Sunday, and it was FREEZING outside (probably because of my vicinity to the water). Lucky for me, Quantum Leap was not too far from where I was! The inside was small and cozy, and there was a lady who immediately greeted me and got me a menu. The menu was packed with all sorts of mouth-watering options, so it took me a while to finally "settle" for the "buffalo chicken bomber" - the vegan take on the spicy chicken classic. I also got some hot tea for some hydration that was temperature-appropriate. My sandwich was the perfect size---not to big, but packed with flavor. There was plenty of spicy sauce to go around. The "chicken" was perfectly battered and there was also a strip or two of "bacon". If I lived in the UES, I would definitely be stopping in here more often! I appreciated the comfy space and hospitality of the staff as much as I did the food!
