Tons and tons of vegan options, healthy smoothies, sandwiches and a small grocery store. Also have a buffet for something super fast! Everything is order at the counter. read more

I enjoy this place a little too much. I was exposed to Green Symphony while on the hunt for some natural, wholesome fare in Midtown, a land that is largely health-averse. This place is a culinary treasure for those who want a delicious, feel-good lunch with hearty greens and well-prepared protein dishes. The grilled teriyaki chicken thighs are delicious (if you can grab them in time!). The samosas are always piping hot, the vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes all well-prepared, running the gamut from chicken salad with apple and raisins to their tasty kale salad. On every visit I'd largely ordered from their hot bar, and depending on the temperature outside, may go for one of their smoothies. The gingersnap smoothie was cool and refreshing, with a nice undercurrent of ginger, without being overpowering. You may find chunks of ice and bits of pear still left whole in the drink, but I let that slide considering the crazy line for their smoothies. Lunch is not cheap per usual, and by 2pm you're scraping for leftovers in trays that don't look like they'll be replenished. The space is also very compact, with me usually waiting around awkwardly for my smoothie, while making sure I don't knock over the odd table for straws and napkins. But every time I'd left feeling immensely proud and excited to delve into the deliciousness that awaited me, and that's a good sign of a great find. read more

See all

I got delivery and it estimated 60-90 minutes but I ended up just getting absolutely nothing after two hours so I guess we'll never know LOL

My first time here and I'll definitely be coming back! I got an assortment of foods from the buffet and I couldn't be happier. Everything tastes so delicious and fresh. Paid about $6 for my plate of food which is awesome for the city. Great little lunch spot. They have a large selection of smoothies and juices which I'll have to try next time I'm here! Only bad thing is there is a $15 credit minimum so bring cash! read more

Green Symphony - Collection of foods from the buffet! - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

I hate to give such a vegan-friendly local shop a low rating, but after giving Green Symphony multiple chances my opinion just hasn't budged. ***LOCATION & INTERIOR** Green Symphony is located in the Theater District on a relatively deserted street that always smells like pee, but that's just the nature of the area I guess. Anyway, Green Symphony is pretty small, with some rickety tables and seats in a corner, and the rest of the space taken up by some shelves of food (including some ready-made grab-and-go food), the front counter that holds baked goods, and a hot bar in the back. They carry a selection of healthy, vegan, gluten-free, etc. snacks, from chips to cookies to bars--basically all the popular brands. Prices are reasonable. The whole shop is very dingy and old though. It's in dire need of some renovations: the tables are always sticky and dirty, it smells musty inside, and everything is cluttered and sort of disorganized. ***FOOD*** When I saw the display case full of fresh baked goods (they cook them in house!) at the front counter, I was so excited. About half of the options were vegan! And all of them use healthy, natural ingredients, minimal processed sugar, etc. As a lover of desserts, I thought I had hit gold with all of these seemingly guilt-free sweets. Unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be the case. I've tried a lot of their vegan bars and other baked goods, and not a single one was good. The acai blueberry bar was as hearty as others have said--it was legitimately heavy and so dense--but barely had any taste. Just a dry mess of muted blueberry flavor, and absolutely no acai flavor. The almond bar I got another time was just as heavy and dense, and also just as dry and flavorless. I understand they're trying to limit added sugar, but they could've added SOME sweetness with natural sweeteners, like maple syrup or agave. And besides, the bars weren't guilt-free at all. They were so huge and hearty that they must've been at least 500-600 calories each, and way too heavy on the carbs with the tightly packed grain bases. Their hot bar food is average as well, although it could be good if you work in the area and want some healthy, diverse food. Just make sure to give your plate a spin in the microwave before eating because, like most hot bars, the food gets cold and starts sticking together. ***NOTES/RECOMMENDATION*** I don't know...the concept is good and you won't find a mom and pop vegetarian/vegan shop like this anywhere nearby, but the actual food is disappointing. They really need to give the shop a facelift, and rethink some of their recipes. read more

Nearby to all of the touristy places, Green Symphony is a hidden gem. The buffet is delicious and has a variety of healthy options if you want to stay away from the main stream food around Times Square. It had everything I needed and the price is reasonable! read more

I visited during lunch. I loved the huge selection of healthy smoothies. The price is reasonable, considering the kind of food and location. There is a salad bar you could use or select a meal from menu. read more

Love this place !!! Best reason to go to Times Square. Delicious and nutritious. Love the kale with hummus on top of it. And the chickpea salad also delicious. Chicken curry. Fish. All is good. read more

Heaven. This place is a total gem in an area that's loaded with McDonald's and tourist traps. I enjoy a smoothie in the morning that has any kind of greens, healthy fat, fiber and protein - Green Symphony has all that and more! All the baked goods look tasty and I can't wait to come back in the morning. If you're traveling for work this is a great way to stay healthy if you must stay near Times Square. read more

Went to Green Symphony today for the first time. The Yelp reviews are spot on. Green Symphony is the ideal stop for very healthy and very tasty food/drink. Prices are right too. I'll surely frequent Green Symphony on a regular basis. read more

Visit Jay and enjoy amazing healthy foods and remarkably awesome vegan desserts! It can be hard to find MOIST vegan desserts. You will be amazed by Jay's pear ginger bar and the acai blueberry bar. They are both sweet enough and very flavorful and very moist!!! read more

I miss this place. Green Symphony was around the corner from where I used to work and I used to get my healthy satisfying lunchtime fix here on a near daily basis. This hidden gem offers a great selection of healthy and very satisfying foods. Wish I could've taken this one with me. read more

If you're into healthy & organic foods, and need to pick up quick office snacks, a delicious smoothie or desk lunch, there's no place better in Midtown West (I'm also fond of Westerly Market but this spot has more fresh food options). There are tables that you can eat at (maybe seats 12-15 max?), but in my mind this is more of a takeout joint. The owners here believe in the importance of healthy eating, so I trust the quality of their cold/hot bar foods. Will visit over and over again. Bibimbap here is made with brown rice, just a heads up--they don't even keep white rice in the store read more

This is my new go to spot in the neighborhood. The family that runs this place is so friendly and kind. They have a great selection of healthy drinks, snacks and even hot options. I love that they have açaí bowls too. Definitely stop by. read more

Love all of their healthy baked goods up front. Smoothies and hot bar delicious too.

Good healthy food that doesn't cost you an arm and leg is hard to find. This place did not disappoint! I got the New York Bowl, which comes with chicken, brown rice, mixed veggies and dumplings. It was absolutely delicious and you get a lot for your money. They also have vegan options! read more

Best healthy lunch option in the area! The hot and cold buffet has so many great vegan and vegetarian options, plus chicken and fish. Half the price of Whole Foods and other buffets. They also have great baked goods, smoothies, and custom salad options. I'll walk through Times Square on a daily bases to get here (for someone who thinks they are a New Yorker, this is a big deal)! read more

Family run and small but location is perfect for sightseeing around times sq. Had a very good selection of reasonably priced health food. Surprised to find they had a HUGE selection of healthy food - vegan sweets, drinks, hearty bowl, salad, buffet. Tried Dalai lama bowl and small portion of buffet. Both of them were very good and satisfying! read more

The food is good, BUT it's the same exact stuff they might change 1 dish & to top it off I was charged over NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS!! I called my bank & the rep said that charge was made 20 minutes after my 1st one & I took my food & left so I wasn't in there when that happened, clearly NOT a mistake. Went to speak to the manager & all he had to say was "sorry" to have over $900 taken out of my BANK ACCOUNT not credit card is beyond stressful especially on the 1st of the month. I don't have $$$ to eat lunch this week & I explained this to the manager, repeatedly said "how am I going to eat?" Didn't even offer me a lunch or anything. read more

It's hard to find healthy lunch break food that won't break the bank around here. I ordered the Dalai Lama bowl. Good portions. The sesame ginger sauce was really good. There was barely any kimchi though which was a bummer. Overall not bad and good service. I'd definitely go back to try some more things. read more

Green Symphony - Dalai Lama Bowl with Sesame Ginger Sauce - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

My dad works in Manhattan and recommended this place to me. I go into NYC frequently and hate spending $$$$ on food. I'm not vegan or gluten-free but this place is really cool. Hot bar, get the chicken enchiladas or turkey meatballs. Green oatmeal looks weird but is really delicious. Smoothies/juices are also awesome. Staff is chill. Only thing is that it's better to get on the go and eat somewhere else because it's a hole in the wall and there's few seats. In the middle of overpriced tourist traps, this is a bright spot. And to those complaining about the bathroom, seriously? Just go into Port Authority the next block over...there's tons of bathrooms in there. read more

One of my go-to lunch spots in the Midtown food wasteland. Green, organic, vegetarian, health-conscious... all surround you once you step in. It can be a little overwhelming with all of their product offerings--fresh food, prepared food, packaged food, salads, drinks, smoothies, soups, vitamin supplements, baked goods, etc... but smack dab in Times Square, it's also kinda refreshing because it's not a generic/boring chain... and because they're focused on healthier options. Everything in the hot food bar looks delicious, vegan baked goods at the counter are super tempting, however, I come here for the rice bowls and mandoo bowls. They're not listed anywhere in sight, only on the printed menu at the counter. The Tofu Mania and Veggie Fuel rice bowls aren't like your typical Korean bibimbap--but more with a healthier twist. Rice, mushrooms, kimchi, veggies, tofu or boca-burger-like soy patties, are topped with healthy greens with spicy sauce on the side. Filling, healthy, and flavorful. The mandoo bowls are Korean veggie dumplings over brown rice, steamed veggies with a tasty ginger sesame sauce. The Seoul Bowl is just that, and the Temple Bowl adds tofu and pumpkin seeds to the mix. These both fill my dumpling fix. The folks behind the counter are super-nice and ALWAYS have smiles on their faces. Prices aren't crazy expensive--$6.50-7.50 for the bowls, and obviously more if you buy food by weight. $10 minimum on credit cards. It's kinda nice to have a spot where you can get Korean dumplings, wheat grass shots and homemade granola bars in one stop. Especially in Times Square. read more

Times Square has real health food that's done the way it's supposed to be. As far as healthy fast food on the go (or seated at one of their wooden tables), I cannot see how it can get any better than this. This bodega/deli has been completely RE-PURPOSED into a top of the line gluten-free, grass-fed, free range, vegetarian, vegan emporium with a tasty Korean twist. There's a salad bar, a hot food buffet, a made-to-order salad station, an extensive juice/smoothie menu (see my tip photo), a grocery store and seating for at least 15 people harmoniously packed into a comfortably small space. The staff is friendly, efficient and ready to answer any questions you have. And the food... I think I inhaled my "A.k.a Bibimbop. A Korean Style" Veggie Fuel bowl in one or two breaths.

Green Symphony is an oasis in the nutritional desert that is Times Square. If you want some healthy food (yes they have chicken and fish not just veggie choices) definitely a place to check out for lunch. Delicious salads (the cold curry chicken salad is one of my favorites), hot food, cold food, wheat grass, fresh juices. I feel healthier just standing in there. My lunch is usually around 11 or 12 bucks with a beverage. Not really cheap, but definitely worth the price to eat delicious food that is not processed and packed full of high fructose corn syrup. You pay by the pound, so if you are less of a carnivore and more of a grazer than I, your lunch might weigh/cost less. Oh yeah, if you go around noon, it's rarely busy. read more

I like Green Symphony. It's good to have a somewhat close vegetarian/vegan option for lunch nearby work. Carnivores and Omnivores can also find solace in the offerings. They cater to primarily Vegetarians/Vegans, but definitely have several meat options as well. On a recent trip, I had the Avocado Delight sandwich and a large Escarole and White Bean soup. Both cost just about $10 total. The sandwich while good, looked a little flat and the avocado was a little brown. It was pre-made and I'm not sure what it's born on date actually was. The soup was very good. I added in some crackers and hot sauce for a little extra something. That put it over the top. If I end up in the can, based on the upsetting outcome of this lunch, I'll update the review accordingly. read more

A paradise for vegetarians! (Options abound for meat-eaters too.) This place completely disproves the theory of the paradox of choice - I just sampled a little bit of everything from the vegetable curry to quinoa salad to the oh-so-freakin delicious roasted mushrooms and then some! Green Symphony has such a great variety I went for lunch and dinner during my brief stay in NYC in Times Square. Each meal was accompanied by a Flu Buster shake. I wasn't feeling anything coming on - just liked the combo offered. A lot of customers came in solely for the shakes so I suspect other combos are equally delish. read more

This is my absolute mid-town go-to. I am in love with this place, and I go in whenever I'm around 43rd and 8th. I'm a sucker for all of the cold bar options. My staple favorites are the amazing chicken curry salad, the turkey salad with cranberries and pecans, the kale salad, the black bean mix, and the lentils. I find it to be very well-priced, and you can get a full meal for $5 even because everything is so filling and wholesome. Another favorite is the delectable "toatsome" cookie, I believe they're called. All of the dessert options look amazing, but these huge dome-shaped cookies are usually pretty irresistible as you approach the check-out line. On top of all of that, they have an AMAZING juice bar too! Fresh and wonderful concoctions for whatever mood you're in. The owner is a super nice guy too. I would definitely urge all to stop in and try this place! read more

This place is like an organic, gourmet bodega. There is a salad bar, as well as another hot and cold food buffet with lots of healthy options. I liked everything I got, except for the brown rice. I also got one of their homemade bar/breads. The banana blueberry bread made with oatmeal flour was so good, and I can't wait to try some of the other bars. There was an autographed photo of Daniel Craig in this store - kind of exciting that James Bond also likes this place! read more

I ordered for lunch from here (through Seamless) and had a terrible experience. I got the confirmation email that said it will take 45-60 min (that I was already disappointed about). I was on calls so couldn't really follow up.. but after reaching a starvation point I called them 80 min later. Based on the response I don't think they ever placed my order. But there was no apology extended. My order arrived 20-25 min after my call (1 hour 40 min from when I placed the order) So top it.. it was not even good. I ordered a Santa fe bowl. It had no taste, no salt. So overall a terrible experience. read more

MY FAV healthy vegetarian grab & go spot! AND AFFORDABLE!!! Amazing fresh juices! soups! Baked goods! Organic amazingness! Kombucha! The salad bar is brilliant. If you care for your body. You will be right at home at Green Symphony! read more

I'm convinced that the best places to eat in Times Square are not the ones with the giant signs or fancy TVs on them, but rather the ones that are the exact opposite... little shops that blend in with the surroundings. Green Symphony is a little shop nestled between 7th and 8th Avenues (closer to 8th) and is a gem. They have a fairly large menu, consisting of sandwiches, smoothies, wraps and more, and a hot buffet which looked pretty good also. They also have a "fridge" where you can grab beverages or pre-made wraps if you're on the go. I opted for the spicy koba wrap, which has kimchi, chicken, and some other ingredients. I was surprised at how large it was for the price ($7.99), and it was pretty good. A tad bit dry for my personal tastes, but otherwise really good and made to order. I also grabbed two of the vegan samosas from the hot buffet, which were tasty as well, but could've used a side of some sauce. It also has tables for eating in, if that's your thing. Unfortunately the whole place is kinda cramped (I can only imagine the rent so it makes sense). I'll be back again to try more of the menu. read more

This is the only lunch place I'll go to in the area. Healthy, quick lunch with lots of vegetarian items for a good price. The buffet-style line always has a lot of choices-- and speaking as someone with allergies, the fact that they list all of the ingredients of all of the various dishes is a huge plus. I usually end up spending around 5 or 6 dollars for a self-serve container of mixed salads/entrees. Stocked with organic and healthy odds and ends, I always end up getting a delicious and satisfying lunch that still hits the comfort-food spot. I'm addicted to the cold soba salad! So good. read more

Tried my first kale drink here. Asked the man at the register for his recommendation and was given the green almond drink which was composed of kale, spinach, almond milk, banana, flax seed and almond butter. It was delicious! Just the right amount of vegetable taste to the sweet banana and almonds that was both refreshing and energizing. I also went with the chicken curry salad for a takeout dinner. The serving of chicken was generous and it was served on a bed of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzled ontop was a sesame ginger dressing which complimented the chicken nicely. read more

I changed my mind. Both the highly publicized Ginger Snapp Smoothie and the avocado wrap with tofu, mesclun greens, pumpkin seeds, raisins, and carrot-ginger tahini sauce are worth the wait and the disorganization on line. They're even worth venturing out of your office into the crime and fire-ridden streets that apparently make up New York now-a-days.* Definitely pay this place a visit if you're in the area and seeking out delicious health food. It will blow your mind....err, too soon? -------------------------------------------------------------- * Please see the Onion Article entitled "Nation Celebrates Full Week Without Deadly Mass Shooting" http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-celebrates-full-week-without-deadly-mass-sh,29293/ read more

I stumbled upon this place because I needed a healthy fix rather than my normal cafeteria food and found it on yelp. So happy it's right in the 'hood! The items I chose were amazing and so flavorful - beets, kale salad, tofu, mushrooms, sauteed veg (in oil, basil & oregano) and soba noodles. I'm not a vegetarian but sure love me some tasty veggies. Also got the ginger snap smoothie and it's deeeelicious! Green Symphony definitely hit the spot for a nice healthy (and yummy) lunch. Thanks fellow yelpers, I will be back! read more

This was pretty much amazing. I love this place and the owners and the people that frequent this place. Its such a vibe.

My fav healthy food joint with a Korean twist in Times Square area. owner Jay is korean and believes in promoting healthy eating. Their table surface is made of grains. [Discover] I came across Green Symphony on Seamless & ever since I had my first Nude Noodle Mandoo bowl with Green Monster pressed juice, I fell in love with this gem in the bustling midtown. Why I absolutely LOVE this place - so will most health-counscious eaters: [The Food] Uber healthy & wild selection with organic ingredients & a Korean twist. Besides made to order, they also have a buffet bar. - Mandoo bowls - I love their mandoo bowls; New Yorker Bowl comes with organic chicken & steamed veggies - The Health Salad (notice the red onion they use is quite strong; I request to not have the onions) [The Snacks] Vegan desserts in midtown? Yes! But more than that, you can scoop up some rare breed. I go nuts for sesame seeds, I always get the $2 sesame mania bar. -Kale chips & greenola are abundant. - Extra perk for chocolate fans - Fearless chocolate from Oakland got super fruit flavors & green tea matcha flavors (one of my fav chocolates) [The Drink] - Many cold-pressed juice & smoothie choices - or any healthy drinks - Fearless Coconut water, BlueprintJuice, Aloe water etc Be aware - their organic apples can be pricy. read more

The staff here are not very friendly or welcoming, and I got the feeling they aren't willing to do any more than the bare minimum that they have to. (I had to specifically ask for a fork and a napkin.) The seating area is cramped and small. I didn't see a price-per-pound posted for the buffet, but it's not too cheap, because it came out to rather more than I was expecting to be charged. However, I'm still giving them 3 stars because the food was significantly better than that at any other by-the-pound buffet in the area. Everything I selected was delicious. It's got a focus on healthy and organic ingredients. While there are many vegetarian options, there're also dishes with free-range chicken, etc. Good food, I just wish my lunch visit had been a bit of a more relaxing and pleasant experience. read more

Working in the theater district is a lunchtime nightmare. Half the places are too expensive, many are fast food and a majority of them are not very good. ENTER: Green Symphony. I will never go hungry again. Healthy sandwiches, DELICIOUS soups at a steal, snacks that you might find at whole foods for 2-3x the price. I haven't tried their juices yet but I will get there eventually. Salad bar is a great deal for a huuuge salad. Baked goods are really good too! I've ordered in person and through Seamless, and all of my experiences with the staff have been fantastic. They are really nice and fast. Bottom line- if you haven't been to Green Symphony yet and you need quality food in the Theater District are - GO. read more

Thanks again to Yelpers for writing this place up. We stayed on 45th street near 7th, so naturally I looked up "organic restaurants" as I always do when traveling. What a find!! I had to LOL when some other reviewer called this place "expensive". Do not believe this person! As organic consuming vegetarians, we were in heaven here. Large organic coffee $1.75, large avocado pita sandwich with red and green leaf salad $4.95 (ate 3 of them during our trip to NYC) They have them pre-made so you can grab it and go. In fact, the last time we were there the avocado was changing color, so they gladly, and quickly, made another one fresh for us. The quesadilla was AMAZINGLY delicious. Only $5.50 for 4 egg whites, black beans, salsa, avocado other stuff...and HUGE! I took a photo, but only after I wolfed down the first of three pieces. I bought that twice but would have bought it more often had I discovered it a day or two earlier. Their baked goods are phenomenal. Very healthy, very yummy, and not gag-me sweet. I recommend the "anytime bar" in their case by the register, and a HUGE cookie located on top and to the right of the order window for $2.95. I bought that cookie at least 3 times. They have a myriad of healthy drinks to choose from by organic vendors located in their cold cases, but also make a myriad of fresh smoothies. When I first walked in, I saw them filling up the buffets, and I saw a list of smoothies, but I didn't see a menu for their sandwiches. They pointed me to a piece of paper on a cold case. The selection is vast! The 2nd day we were in there I was in line and was talking to the customer next to me about how wonderful this place was. He told me that he had worked in a health food store in Atlanta, and the first time he walked in Green Symphony it smelled just like his health food store back home...he knew he was in the right place. The buffet is amazing. Plenty of things for meat eaters, and plenty of stuff for vegetarians. To offer a comparison, we went to an organic restaurant near the High Line. At that other restaurant, their kale salad was $16 and tasted just OK. HERE, their kale salad is so popular that they filled up two containers in the buffet...and it tasted BETTER than that $16 kale salad! Both of us had mass quantities of food piled high on the plate from their scrumptious buffet which cost us only $20 for BOTH of us!! LOVED the mushrooms and a dish which had avocado, tomatoes and onions. They had so many things to choose from! Their buffet is wonderful!! The owners are doing a service to the people of midtown by offering delicious, nutritious, large selection of organic foods at an affordable price. So, so glad this place was located close to our hotel. We'd wake up in the morning and would make a bee line to this place to eat here and grab stuff to go so we could munch on their food later on in the day. What a find for the health conscious consumer. P.S. Don't get mad at the owner for imposing a $15 minimum for credit cards. Anyone in retail knows that Visa and M/C charge the owner a fee for the privilege of using their card. Pay cash so they can keep their costs low. Live it up, keep a $20 bill in your wallet for occasions such as a visit to Green Symphony. read more
