I am highly disappointed as I was anticipating trying this place. The actual restaurant is spacious with good ambiance. However, the lack luster attitude of their staff permeates the air. The young lady at the cash register was more interested in texting on her phone than actually taking my Order to the point where I had to remind her that I also Ordered the dragonfruit lemonade when she was handing me my order - she went "oh yea I forgot !" The gentleman preparing my food grabbed a piece of salmon from a metal tray that was on a shelf put it into a plastic container to warm it up. He also didn't seem to know what went in the bowl itself and kept glimpsing I suppose at an order sheet. The rice containers that house the rice for the bowls were not even closed properly with rice spilling out of the sides and into the covers - that should have been my warning. In retrospect I should have stayed so Atleast I could have possibly got my money back but I decided to head home a quick 45 min journey away to enjoy my food. The actual presentation is nice but the veggies are underdone and fibrous. The worst part is that the rice itself was spoilt - sour as we call it in the Caribbean and slimy which means it's been bad for quite some time. I was not able to eat any of it. Such a waste of money and time. I saw a previous review which stated that their kid had found a roach in their bowl and I couldn't believe it as the other reviews seemed so positive . After my experience it is definitely probable particularly with such a lack luster staff who clearly take no pride in the food they put out ( Serving spoilt rice to patrons ), lack of cleanliness and an absence of management at this business. I will not be back. read more

I got some money in UberEats so I ordered my boyfriend and I delivery from Fieldtrip Harlem. I came here a few years ago and thought it was a pretty solid spot-- an impression which still held up this time around! I ordered a salmon bowl as well as the roasted chicken bowl with the sauces on the side. The bowls were packed very well in a sturdy bag and the contents of each bowl were perfectly in place despite the delivery ordeal, which I found surprising. The food was a little cold but I'm attributing that 100% to the delivery time in the late Fall. The salmon bowl was delicious! I was surprised by how generous the portion of fish was despite the relatively low price. It came over a bed of pineapple black fried rice which was hearty, nutty, earthy, and just went amazingly with the tender meat of the salmon and mildly spicy piripiri sauce. The salmon was cooked so perfectly, I almost could not believe it. Even though I feel like this bowl was good, to me it lacked a little bit of balance in terms of flavor since the predominant tastes I got were sweetness and spiciness. I wish it had had some cooling, more savory, creamy element like a tzaitiki or labneh to balance things out. However I was happy since my bowl was overall tasty and was very filling. My boyfriend ate the chicken bowl and he said he loved the flavors but that his chicken was a little overcooked. His bowl smelled delicious! We both agreed the portions were very generous for the price and that the combination of flavors makes these bowls very unique and vibrant. Since I got delivery, I cannot comment on the service this time around but when I went back in 2021, the staff in the restaurant was incredibly nice, patient, and welcoming. Highly highly recommend this place! The food is very good and feels unique. It's also very filling and comes in generous portions for the price. I look forward to coming back in person so I can try these items in full freshness again! read more

Fieldtrip has the kindest staff you will ever meet. Everything tastes so fresh. I went here around 2:30 on a Friday and it was pretty crowded but the food came out quickly. They're happy to make any modifications that you want. I love rice so a place based on rice is exactly what I needed today. Definitely worth visiting. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it was asian soul food fusion, but it fell flat. I tried their new dish with jollof rice and chicken. The rice was hard, and the overall meal was lukewarm. The flavors were there but muted. Their dragonfruit lemonade was just the right balance of tart and sweet. The cashier was friendly and the staff seemed to get along well with one another. As for the ambiance, the place offered a lot of seating space with natural lighting. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to come here again but if I'm in the area maybe. Idk. As always thank you for the service and God bless! read more

Briancantstopeating suggested checking out this place. As a resident of the area myself, I have to say I was genuinely impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the delectable food. I've already visited three times. My personal favorite is the Crispy Fish Bowl and Crispy Chicken Bowl paired with the refreshing Thyme Tea. If you happen to be in Harlem, make sure to give it a shot! You won't regret it. read more

Fieldtrip Harlem - Crispy Fish Bowl - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Thanks to New Yorker mag for featuring Field Trip. When I read about all those rice varieties! Woo woo! I love rice, all kinds. In my cupboard now I have about six varieties, so I knew I had to love Field Trip. And I was right. I ordered online for pick-up. It was easy-peasy, ready in about a half hour. Not bad for a Friday night. It was pretty busy when I went in, and the ladies behind the counter had their hustle on but still with smiles on their faces and a welcome greeting for this eager new customer. I was so impressed that I was compelled to throw a couple bucks into the tip jar although I'd already tipped 25% online. They deserved it! For my first visit -- because yes, I'll be back -- I chose the BBQ Brisket Bowl, made with Texas brown rice, chipotle black beans, and hoisin sauce. I requested it without the BBQ sauce. Oh the complex textures, and the robust flavors and seasonings. Delish! I cleaned that bowl with a quickness, and was sad that it was all gone. I also got the fried yucca chips and the sweet plantains with hot honey. The chips were crispy and tasty and light, and the plantains just right. That hot honey makes them a stand-out. I'll be back! Next time I'm looking at that Fried Chicken Bowl made with Carolina Gold rice (never had this variety before). Hope you're here to stay, Field Trip! read more

While a bit more expensive than I would have expected for the portion size, I did enjoy my salmon curry bowl. It was an interesting mix of spices and flavors that I have yet to try, but I really did like it! While you can definitely get better bang for your buck elsewhere, this was a solid spot in Harlem just north of Central Park. Service was also very friendly and there was plenty of seating. read more

Fieldtrip Harlem - Salmon Bowl - New American Near Me - New York, New York

This opened up just around the time when I moved out of Harlem! So glad I decided to venture uptown to try this again. I ordered online and the food was ready upon my arrival. All the options looked great. It reminds me of a higher end Dig Inn. I opted for the braised beef which had a great mixture of rice, meats and vegetables. The price is also on point!! I would love to come back to try the other bowls, especially the salmon and the veggie ones. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to fieldtrip. I was right before closing on a rainy day so it was pretty empty. I looked over the menu and opted for the salmon bowl. It was a healthy looking combo, black rice (not djon djon) with a side of greens a 4-5oz piece of salmon and a really flavorful sauce (probably butternut squash or something). Took about 5 mins for them to prepare and everything was excellently prepared. The salmon was well cooked. It wasnt well seasoned but thats because the sauce is so flavorful. Great spot to grab a quick affordable and healthy bite to eat. read more

We visited on a Wednesday morning. Kira is the best. She was so accommodating with my dietary restrictions (no dairy). We ordered the veggie bowl and the crispy chicken (which was a fried chicken drenched in sauce). In fact, the vegetables were the star of the show, even in the bowls with meat. The butternut squash delicately balanced the vibrant green of the collard greens. I was blown away by how they prepare the collard greens. Fresh, still with a good al dente-ness- unlike the kind that's cooked to death that I used to have while growing up in Texas. The quinoa bao buns were great. If you can get a side of the carrot dip that usually goes with the nana bread, do it! Everything was good when paired with the carrot dip, which has a sweet heat to it. The nana bread is full of dairy so I didn't try it, but it looked like a scallion pancake without scallions. I did wish that the crispy chicken was actually crispy rather than saucy. I preferred the basmati rice over the Carolina gold. I'd definitely want to come back and try the sticky rice and green curry. I'm already a huge proponent of rice and I'm so happy that FIELDTRIP is experimenting with different presentations of it. I totally forgot to taste the rice hibiscus soft serve, but I will on my next trip! read more

Fieldtrip Harlem - Yum - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Really enjoyed my time at Fieldtrip in Harlem. The staff was kind and the chef behind the restaurant was there, overseeing it all. I like that there are a variety of veggie and meat options to choose from and the crab pockets are delicious! I had the veggie bowl which I thought was Delicious, filling and flavorful. When I go back I def want to try one Of the mean base dishes. I also love the variety this place adds to the Harlem Food scene. They offer drinks. But that's not their selling point and not necessarily something I would go here for. It can be a little on the expensive side, but I enjoyed my meal and will be back! read more

I was trying to work out in my mind how I was going to write this review and what I was going to talk about for later. But nahhh.... Im about to write about it right nowwwww -on the spot. First of all it was my first time. So the person serving me realized it, and also realized the other two people that were there were also there for the first time. So they just gave us a whole tour of the menu together. I love it here the patience. Nah but this mini crash course of the menu had all the details, i wish i didn't hear anything honestly cause i WANTED everything on the menu. SMH. Dangerous. I'm Coming back for that veggie bowl with that yogurt sauce. May add a lil protein for a lil razzle dazzle. I'm coming back here when it's not about to close thought for the full experience, cause if I had a good experience right before they closed ( which is when folks are normally fed up) imagine during the day time? I'm coming back that's it. ENERGY I ended up getting the crispy chicken food bowl ... no words. The rice flavors with the vegetables and the collard greens (in love) all tied in so well together. It was delicious and the vegetables tasted so fresh. Every bite was worth it. Lemme just say this food was for my brother and not me, that ain't stop me from eating it though I'm getting my own.

The food comes in an ample size and was prepared in a timely fashion. The problem? The BBQ brisket bowl too salty - I couldn't even finish it. The shrimp bowl didn't have a lot of flavor and the rice was gelatinous in its stickiness. The Cobb salad was refreshing although the burrata was not the appropriate compliment to the Bibb lettuce. The dressing was a take on a miso dressing - tasty but not memorable. I like the portion size for the price, but the over-salted beef ruined the meal. read more

On Juneteenth, we had initially come to Harlem to try a different restaurant but after not finding what we expected we decided left and decided to try Fieldtrip which was also on our "must try when in Harlem list." It was extremely hot out, but the block parties hadn't begun yet, so we were able to reach this restaurant without any distractions. Minimal patrons, ease of ordering with the menu on the wall. We were able to order and sit and wait for our food to be brought over to our table. Seeing the "bowls" i immediately thought damn, I'm still going to be hungry; where are we going to go next. I was pleasantly surprised that 3/4ths of the way through my bowl i was actually satisfied- so to say the least; it is portioned out well. We had the salad w salmon, falafel and the fried fish w rice. And i had a refreshing pineapple drink- I already made a few more choices on my way out that i will try on my return trip (a crab dish/app)- *Bonus - Chef JJ was sitting in the same space conducting business and i appreciate that he was there on a holiday- in the event i needed to praise or complain. LOL Stop by its worth it! read more

Must try: Braised Beef Rice Bowl, Crab Pockets, Yucca Puffs and a Dragonfruit Lemonade! Why: Everything was delicious! Braised Beef Bowl was filling and meat was tender. Crab Pockets are like crab wontons you can dip in sweet & sour sauce. Yucca Puffs are like the flat round shrimp chips in texture but taste like mildly sweet potato. The dragonfruit was refreshing. Notes: Great service. Workers were helpful and fun. They even say: "see you on your next field trip" when you leave! Clever marketing. They also serve alcohol so next time I may have some lucky dog sake with my meal! read more

Fieldtrip was a pleasant surprise for me and surely a great addition to the neighborhood! This place offers unique flavors of rice bowls that are hearty, comforting, and filled with fresh ingredients and even their side items are pretty special. I ordered the braised beef bowl which comes with texas brown rice, spicy black beans, tumeric yogurt and a variety of veggies including sauteed kale, brussel sprouts, and butternut squash and I would definitely recommend this rice bowl! The beef was so tender and the entire bowl was super hearty with the flavors mixing so well together. Don't let the photos fool you about the size of the bowl, it was extremely filling. We also ordered the crab pockets (crab, garlic herbed cream cheese) and the quinoa bao buns and damn both were really good! They don't skimp out on crab in those pockets and the filling is pretty hefty. I would highly recommend trying the quinoa bao buns - don't let the healthy name deter ya - it was just so unique and the green sauce they smother on top of the bun is oh so delicious. The yucca puff adds a great crunchy texture to the buns and everything just marinated so well together! This place was busy on a Tuesday night and the service and hospitality was still on point. I'd give this new place a try! read more

I have been here several times and the team is amazing. Truly becoming a staple in the community. I met two managers on different occasions, I think Patricia and Lisa and they are always friendly and knowledgeable. I Have not eaten everything on the menu and usually stick to my favorites (the beef and salmon bowls), but everything looks so good and judging from what I have had I will be exploring more items. I hope Fieldtrip makes it to BK !!. read more

When I discovered that FieldTrip was a restaurant dedicated to rice, I knew it would be right up my alley. The restaurant is known for its rice bowls, which are inspired by cuisines across the globe. I found myself drawn to the description of the Crispy Chicken Bowl with the Carolina Gold Fried Rice and Sticky BBQ Sauce ($10). I received my food promptly and was on my way. Due to the pandemic, I had to wait until I arrived back home for a taste. Boy was it worth the wait! My bowl was brimming to the top with food, and it was loaded with chicken. I always appreciate that, because some lunch spots tend to be stingy with the protein. There were mustard greens with what resembled a hoisin horseradish sauce. Crispy smoky chicken that tasted of cumin and smoked paprika. Texture from the Brussels sprouts, green onions, and crunchy carrots. A sweet surprise in the bits of sweet potato sprinkled throughout the bowl. Everything was so well seasoned. It gave me Panda Express chow mien and orange chicken vibes in the absolute best way possible. The Crispy Chicken Bowl was absolutely delicious. As soon as I finished it, I was craving another one. read more

Are you looking for vegan desserts? Got the strawberry cheesecake soft serve in a waffle cone. It was a mile high, and they filled up a cup, too. Very smooth, with excellent mouth feel and some sort of topping. They used a lot of strawberries to make it. IMHO, the best vegan soft serve I've had anywhere other than Europe. Staff is very friendly here. The venue is very clean with lots of seating. Sadly, I was so excited to dig in that I forgot to take photos. read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant after all the great reviews, but the dishes fell short for me. Fieldtrip is a fusion type restaurant with some Asian elements mixed into their dishes. I had the crispy chicken bowl, seafood gumbo, and a pink dragon fruit lemonade. The prices are relatively high for the portion. The chicken bowl was ok, healthy but nothing special. Tastes sort of like Chinese sesame chicken but with BBQ sauce. The rice and veggies could use a bit more flavor. The seafood gumbo was a huge disappointment. The only seafood I saw was dried shrimp. Don't get this unless you like the taste of dried shrimp. It was a little bit bitter. I could not finish it. The lemonade was good. If you are ordering out, ask for utensils. read more

Fieldtrip Harlem - Fried Chicken Sweet Plantains - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I've been wanting to try this place for a while after seeing a few food reviews - we got takeout recently and everything was ready on time and packaged nicely. We originally wanted their crab rangoons (which my friend were good) but they were sold out so we got the quinoa buns instead, which were yummy (surprisingly to me haha). I got the crispy chicken bowl and my husband got the shrimp bowl. I liked both. The crispy chicken bowl was packed full of chicken with some collards and brussel sprouts. The rice was great and I liked the sauce (my husband thought it was a bit saucy but I liked it just fine). The coconut shrimp bowl had large shrimp with sticky rice and a green curry sauce. I liked the sticky rice a lot! Sharing between two bowls was a great variety in flavor and textures. We would be sure to come again! read more

***Pre-Covid Review*** Overall (3.5/5): Food (3.5/5): Pretty good options, including drinks and different rice bowls. I think there are other restaurants in the area that serve better. I do love the intentionally sourced ingredients though! Atmosphere (5/5): Really cool, open space. Uniqueness (4/5): Lots of points here for ingredients. Also seems like their flavors are very fusion inspired. Value (4/5): Good prices. read more

A modern take on the rice bowl! This restaurant is great because they take one important part of our diets that is synonymous to pretty much all cultures around the world- RICE! Each bowls plays off a different kind of rice wether it be black, red, golden fried, sticky or regular brown- they've got you covered! Each bowl comes with the wok veggies, select toppings and a protein like salmon, brisket or shrimp. They also have a veggie bowl option that includes jollof basmati rice and roasted broccoli. It's topped off with a vegan cucumber yogurt sauce. The second part of the menu has smaller sides & extras like crab pockets and quinoa bao buns. The menu has something for everyone to say the least! The food was fresh, salmon cooked perfectly- not dry at all and the piri piri sauce was sweetened a bit by the pineapple. This place is affordable, has plenty of seating & is black owned! Will definitely be back to try out more bowls! Also don't be afraid to ask for a rundown on the menu Kira knows whats up. read more

Fieldtrip is a fast-casual restaurant that to tells a story that rice is universal regardless of the community you come from. Located a short distance from the 2 and 3 train stop of 116th, lies Fieldtrip, and above the threshold of the door is Chef JJ's mantra, which is "Rice is Culture." After entering Fieldtrip, you are greeted by a pleasant and helpful staff member while the soundtrack of Harlem plays in the background. When I think of the soundtrack of Harlem, I think of what would be playing on the boombox of a street corner on Lenox. Just image some smooth R&B to classic hip-hop legends playing while ordering from their menu. The Salmon Rice Bowl is one of their most popular bowls and sells out fast, so I recommend dropping in often. The Crispy Chicken Bowl is perfect for a BBQ lover, and the Braised Beef Bowl came highly recommended by the staff for the colder months. Fieldtrip does offer plenty of vegetarian and Gluten-Free options, and they are regularly adding new items to the menu. The newcomers to the list include Seafood Gumbo, Plantain with hot honey, BBQ Brisket Bowl, and my personal favorite is the Fried Fish Bowl. I always pair my rice bowl with their signature Dragonfruit Lemonade - get a large, and thank me later. At Fieldtrip the team is committed to providing Harlem with healthier and affordable options and no bowl is over $12. read more

Decent fast service from friendly staff in a pleasant enough atmosphere- food is brought to your table in disposable packaging and plastic wrapped cutlery. Not too bad at all. I asked for "hot sauce" and the cashier said she didn't have any condiments but the chef overheard and gave me a little container of fresh cut Fresno peppers which was just great - made all the difference I had the southern Gumbo and Bao buns which were pretty tasty. Plantain is tasty and the Yucca chips are excellent as sides - Other notes: the restaurant is quite clean, recently built and the restroom is clean and decent. Music is offensively loud but then perhaps I'm a little opinionated on these matters. read more

Delicious Rice Bowls, Delightful Staff, and Sensational Service. My visit to FIELDTRIP exceeded our expectations. After seeing Chef JJ Johnson featured on WABC Channel 7 (Neighborhood Eats Segment) this weekend and the piece spotlighting his service to the community during this difficult time I knew I had to visit. That visit was worth my fieldtrip to the city. Served by the Chef himself, our rice bowls were so so good. Made with love and perfectly presented. Thank you Chef JJ and your amazing staff for being in Harlem, for caring for the community, and for taking us on a journey around the world today with your rice bowls and the yuca chips. We loved them!!! Can't wait to visit again. read more

I didn't expect something so good in Harlem!! If you look around standing in front of Fieldtrip, many of the restaurants on the same street are fast food, so this got me really excited to try out Fieldtrip! As an Asian, rice is always a staple in our meals, and for a restaurant that basically developed their menu around different kinds of rice, that pretty much means that they really care about what they serve, and they also know a good deal about it. To be honest, everything I tried surprised me!! The crispy chicken bowl was good, and there's also a good amount of veggies in it!! The crab pockets were so crispy and generously filled with crab mixture, and most importantly it wasn't greasy at all!! I didn't expect to be so full after eating my meal - it's a really good portion!! The drinks are also good. The dragonfruit lemonade was really special, and it's not too sweet! I decided that I also want to try the vegan ice cream although I was so full, and it was interesting!! It tasted very refreshing and you don't feel guilty at all!! If I'm in the area next time, I would definitely come back to try out other bowls!! read more

Fieldtrip definitely deserves all of the hype it's been receiving (see New York Times review). JJ Johnson created this fast-casual restaurant in the hopes that it'll be a community spot for to get nutritious food, and it's been executed perfectly. Fieldtrip specializes in rice bowl dishes. All of his rice is non-enriched, non-bleached, and directly sourced from farmers. However, this isn't a build-your-own bowl type of restaurant. JJ crafted each bowl with unique flavors, and you can't go wrong with any order. I came in on a Sunday afternoon, and they unfortunately already ran out of the braised beef and salmon. I opted for the shrimp bowl, which consisted of sticky rice, toasted coconut, and green curry sauce. It was absolutely delicious, with very unique flavor arrangements. The quinoa bao buns are also a must-try! I'm not used to any bao buns without any meat, but these buns were pretty extraordinary. They came with mushroom, corn, avocado, cilantro, mozzarella, and yucca chips. The crunchiness of the yucca chips perfectly complemented the soft bun and quinoa patty. The dragonfruit lemonade was not only pretty to look at but also balanced between sweet and tart. Everything is relatively affordable, and the service here was very hospitable. I'd definitely be willing to make the trek uptown to try the braised beef or crispy chicken rice bowls! read more

I love how this place is so appropriately named Fieldtrip because yes, it is a fieldtrip to Harlem for most of us to visit this place. However, it's also worth the fieldtrip for sure! (and literally right in front of the subway stop) The flavors are vibrant and the dishes are colorful. I really liked both the bowls we got (beef and shrimp), and they were quite different from each other. I really loved the complex flavor of the shrimp better if there were just 1 or 2 more shrimp... but I guess we always want more of a good thing. The dragonfruit lemonade was very interesting as well, and the people working here are very friendly. Hard to imagine us trekking to Harlem often, but for fieldtrip, we'll be back. read more
