went here because i have to eat gluten-free and because that evening, i wanted something a little lighter and cheaper than all of the other gluten-free bookmarks i had. on these accounts, it succeeded. it wasn't bad, but my bowl of potatoes and sesame avocado and toasted chickpeas and sauce felt more like something i could make at home. but i'm glad this option exists for slightly cheaper, healthier gf food. take your meal to the nearby park and it feels less like a chipotle it's hard to get the timing of avocados right, but i could tell the employee was trying to find an avocado that wasn't already brown, couldn't find one, and just gave me the best of the three options. read more

This is old food. It's old dried out meat. Very old vegetables and sweet potatoes. The vegetable mac is also old mush. I ordered two servings cranberry harissa and they were completely missing. I ordered pickled onions and didn't get those. The vegetable Mac and cheese was old brown slop. The bowl didn't match the menu description, and the sides were not fresh. I had to throw the whole thing out. read more

I went around lunchtime on a Tuesday and there was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. I ordered the Paleo Bowl with a side of falafel, and it was delicious! The portions were just right and very filling. I'm already planning to go back and try some of the other bowls on the menu. read more

Pretty good, solid spot for a healthier lunch option in the city. We are lacking in these options, so Little Beet is automatically on my good list. I wouldn't say that there is anything special here or anything that makes it stand out but it is solid. read more

Enjoyed the paleo. Would add a bit more green veggies. But still good. Gracious staff. Spacious location, plenty of great seating and good music to vibe off of with friends or on a solo adventure. Would definitely come again. read more

Little Beet - Enjoyed the paleo. - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

Reliable, healthy, and delicious!! Everything is gluten free and almost everything is dairy free. I almost always do the build your own plate. You can skip a base and get an extra veggie which I love to do because their vegetables are so good. Almost every time I'm there I see them replenishing them with fresh trays from the oven. I especially love the sweet potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. I usually get the roasted chicken as my protein which is flavored simply but perfectly. And then don't skimp on the garnish!! The turmeric almonds, super seeds, and pickled ginger make the bowl (and are all free to add on). This place has nice seating, both booths and tables. Every time I've gone there have been tables available. It's very relaxed to sit alone or with people and stay as long as you want. Such a great place for healthy eating! read more

Two things: I'm a Celiac from CA. I almost cried at the 100% gf menu. Happy day! Thank you for the delicious, safe, and tasty food. We'll be back tomorrow. read more

The Little Beet is one of my go to spots to order from while at work. I usually place a DoorDash pick up order for a custom bowl. They've messed up my order a couple times, forgetting the salmon or the sauce, but are usually pretty reliable. The food is super yummy. I will continue to order from here! read more

There are a lot of places in this area where you can get make-your-own bowls, but Little Beet stands out for me because of the high quality of the choices, the changing seasonal menu, and the generous portions. Prices are on par with similar neighborhood options, but I think you get more food here than some of those. You can choose a pre-designed bowl or make your own, which is what I usually do. The base options are rice, quinoa, greens, or another vegetable side, which offers nice flexibility, and then you pick two vegetable sides, a protein, and whatever sauces and toppings you want. I often get the roasted chicken for the protein, and lately have been really liking the green beans and the seasonal vegetables, like the rainbow carrots and the roasted beets and lentils. For sauces, I highly recommend the avocado bean dip and chimichurri sauce. Their online nutrition and allergen information is extensive, and that transparency is a huge reason why I'll keep coming back here. Every single dish is listed with all the ingredients and more allergens than they're required to identify, which is so helpful and saves time on the line because I can look all of that up in advance rather than asking while ordering. Looking forward to seeing what seasonal items turn up next! read more

Pretty good deal for the quality of food you get! 16 dollars will get you rice and greens, two sides and a protein (adding on as many garnishes as you want for no extra charge) The pork and Brussels were really tasty and paired well together. Everything was nicely packaged. overall a really filling lunch with good quality and ingredients. read more

Whole restaurant is gluten free with vegan options. Standard - pick your base then your veg topics and ultimately your protein and dressings. The only thing that's a little confusing is your 2 veg toppings are split between cold & hot so don't just pick the cold. In terms of service the initial gent was very helpful to explain the gluten free and vegan options. The last person in the dressing wasn't so helpful. Oh well! The restaurant was clean. Plenty of seating. Not a drop left in the salad bowl! read more

I've been to New York several times but this is my first time trying Little Beet and I wasn't disappointed with my vegetarian based dish--I typically eat meat based foods when i go out. I had the chipotle and chimichurri sauce with my meal and they were both AMAZING. I was licking what remained in each tub after I had finished my food lol. I think the sauces played a major role in satisfying my taste buds. If you're conscious about the ingredients in your food you might want to consider this place. The ingredient profile of the menu impressed me since, in my view, it contains a low number of processed ingredients (synthetic not from a natural food source). I saw mentions of fodmap and keto which signaled to me that the menu creators are tuned into the dietary desires of people who are meticulous about what they eat. This suggests to me that this business genuinely cares about customer satisfaction which I think is wise because customer satisfaction typically leads to more business! There was a lot of seating inside and the vibe was a mix of coffee shop and restaurant so I think you could pop in to eat, study, or do work if you wished to. read more

Great healthy lunch option! Very tasty meal, left me full and not feeling guilty at all haha The store was clean, with plenty of seating, the service was what could reasonable be expected at a build-you-bowl spot read more

Pretty solid lunch option for anyone working/living in this neighborhood. My dish of three sides plus tofu was pretty hefty and filling, and seemed more reasonably priced than other places where you pay for the salad bar by the pound. It was also fresh and tasty and I liked that I could eat all of it and still concentrate during the afternoon (Sophie's cubano - I love it but I definitely need a nap after consuming the whole thing). As with any fast-casual place, they have a few pre-set options (the poke bowl looked pretty good) and a build-your-own-plate option, where you choose a base, some veggie sides, protein, and the toppings. I went with the brussel sprouts salad, the garlic green beans, tofu, pickled onions, and ginger. Really delicious, though I'll echo some of the other reviews that mention how salty some of the dishes are. Points for popping in and out within minutes, for those situations where you only have a few minutes to grab lunch. Clean and neat interior, with a well-stocked station for napkins and utensils. read more

I read the other reviews here and so I avoided the bowls and opted for a la cart. Got the Butternut Squash with Coconut milk soup and it was a tad salty but really flavorful overall. The other thing I got was a piece of seared Wild Alaskan Salmon. It wasn't salty at all. The combination of these two items was really satisfying. I only had a quarter of the soup so I'm taking the rest home and will have it with some grilled salmon in my fridge for lunch tomorrow to reminisce this evenings meal. Place is huge with super high ceilings and lots of chairs and tables. It's a cafeteria style joint. I see a lot of seamless/grubhub orders as the guy comes in and out to fill his red backpack. Smells nice here like you're at your mom's kitchen in the evening listening to some soft music in the background. A la carte prices are terrific! Soup 3.50 Seared salmon 5.50 Will be back. I feel the a la carte option is the clincher for me. I don't want to overeat and would like to eat just enough to satisfy the palette and my tummy. Yummy & healthy. read more

Staff is friendly and this is a great fast casual spot for some healthy food! Highly recommend and personally love the Brussel hustle

Food here is pretty good! I loved the sweet potatoes and chicken from here. The sauces are really good too my favorite is the turmeric tahini read more

Talk about the best staff ever. Steven prepared my meal perfectly and was such a great pleasure. Arlene couldn't be nicer. Always had a smile Madison always makes me laugh during the day. And Steven just rocks!! Go little beet! read more

I'm consistently impressed with the quality of the ingredients at Little Beet. Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful. I had a wonderful experience, and wanted to highlight the service. Mario was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped me navigate my dietary restrictions with ease. And Adonis, the way he presented the food, it was like a work of art. The way that Adonis presented the meal, was done with a level of care, that made the food feel special. It's rare to find a place where both the food and the service are this exceptional. Little Beet is a true gem, and I'll definitely be back. My girlfriend are I visit this location every-time we visit from Los Angeles!! read more

I love this little beet in the Flatiron district. The produce is always so fresh and while I always order the same order(The paleo bowl) its flavor is consistent and delicious. The staff is very lovely and warm. Sheenqua is a delight and always makes sure that my salads are amazing. This may be the best Little Beet out of all the franchises in NYC. read more

I ordered my Sweet chili chicken bowl lunch via mealpal The meal was ready when I arrived, so I don't have to wait. But I saw some people after me, they need to wait couple minutes.

Little Beet - Sweet chili chicken bowl via mealpal - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

I usually come here every time I'm in nyc. It's pretty healthy compared to all of the other options available while traveling. The food is usually pretty good but it can also be a hit or miss in the way they prepare a particular item and your tastebuds. Faves: mainly the sesame avocado is amazing and I love it and the way everything always goes together so well. Then there's things like the best falafel which surprisingly tastes very good and similar to a falafel. Not so faves: I ordered the jack bowl this time around and the jackfruit was drenched in bbq sauce and just not that great. I've also had the shaved brussel sprouts that taste more raw and is harder to chew than actual cooked brussel sprouts. read more

Little Beet - The Jack Bowl - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

This was my first time coming to this restaurant although I have heard about it and passed it quite a few times. The best way to describe it would be that it is pretty equivalent to a chipotle that caters to vegans if that makes sense lol. The staff here were really nice. I probably had a look on my face that said: "I am totally overwhelmed by this menu and I'm not sure what I want but I'm hungry!" LOL Thankfully, one of the workers took pity on me and said you can make your own bowl if you want by just pointing out the items...I could have hugged him!! So I got a bowl plate with half basmati rice and half field greens. I then added veggies for black beans and corn along with charred broccoli and roasted beets with lentils and sautéed greens. I skipped on the protein and for the sauce added the sweet chili garlic. I thought about adding chipotle aioli mayo but didn't want to over do it more than I already had for the first time. For a garnish I had a bit of pickled ginger was added as well. The portion size was great and I had plenty left over for another day. I loved the meal!! I definitely would return. Unfortunately of all times, I forgot to take a photo, but I will do so on my next visit because there will be another one! And kudos and thank you to the staff at this Little Beet because they were pleasant patient and helpful! They exude great customer service! read more

Friend and i popped in for dinner on a weeknight. Food was ok as was service. Nothing memorable to draw me back

Yenick was an awesome server for us, and made our lunch experience so fun! Food was incredible. Marion bean burger with sweet potatoes was so beautiful and Instagram worthy. We also got two bowls that were equally as good! We started with the fresh pita and hummus, which was the best I've ever had - highly recommended. Nice indoor atmosphere as well as outside seating read more

Super fresh, healthy and fast. This area is littered with fast casual bowl options, but The Little Beet stands out as one of my favorites. Choose a base, a protein, two veggies (hot and cold) and then top your bowl with some sauces, spreads and toppings. There are also always a few different preset options that they constantly switch up. My bowl had chicken, quinoa, Caesar Brussels sprouts, golden beet slaw, pickled onions and chimichuri sauce. The sauce was delicious, but everything was so flavorful that it wasn't even needed. The chicken was tender and flavorful. Normally bowl spots will skimp on the protein but that wasn't the case here. The Caesar Brussels was the highlight of the bowl - I loved the addition of fresh parmesan and cranberries. The golden beet slaw and onions added extra crunch, color and flavor. The veggies and chicken were so flavorful that I barely touched the quinoa and the portion was so large that I could not finish the bowl. I loved this bowl so much that it would be hard to avoid ordering the same combo during a return visit. read more

How have I worked around the block for so long and not tried The Little Beet? Flatiron is filled with a ton of fast casual lunch spots and I think I just found a new favorite. This is one of those "make your own" spots so you just walk down the line, pick your base (quinoa, rice or salad) your protein (chicken, salmon, beet falafel, tofu, etc) sides (all of your veggies) and sauces. Everything looks incredibly fresh and great quality. They also have a few predesigned bowls on the menu that you can choose if you aren't ready to create your own. I opted for the Yuzu Poké Bowl and loved it. Almost everything else on the menu was perfectly "Fall" and so tempting since I loveeee yams, brussel sprouts and roasted chicken but a fresh poké bowl was just too tempting. All of the bowls were a great portion and really filling and looked beyond delicious. It was nice to know that no matter what you got, you could trust that it was fresh and healthy. I also thought the seating set up was awesome. They have big farm tables so the group of six that I came with around 11:30 had no trouble finding a place for all of us to sit. I've been a huge fan of the fancier sister bar/restaurant Little Beet Table for a really long time and thought that this place was just another overpriced lunch spot out of many in the area. I'm so happy I finally tried them and plan to stop in more than my wallet would like me. Sorry, wallet. read more

NYC's fast-casual lunch options have become so overtly saturated with build-your-own bowls that it's extremely difficult, and becoming harder by the day, to set yourself apart from the crowd. In this, The Little Beet succeeds, but unfortunately the distinction is a negative one. The menu is...eclectic, to say the least. As is the norm, you have the option of picking a base (quinoa, rice, or greens), adding in a couple of warm or cold vegetables, selecting a protein, and finishing it off with a sauce and garnish. At a cursory glance, there are some refreshingly-different options. For example, among the standard proteins (chicken, pork, salmon) there's an intriguing beet falafel choice, and you can pick butternut squash soup as one of your "toppings" (served, as you can imagine, on the side). After a closer look, though, you begin to realize that while the choices are intriguing separately, they make for rather unappealing combinations. Worse yet, every single veggie I have tried has been grossly over-seasoned. The cauliflower, for instance, evokes a feeling that your chef is, in fact, a child who has just discovered turmeric for the first time. And certainly, with turmeric especially, less is often more. Just because you can completely coat squash with paprika doesn't mean you should. On top of it all, The Little Beet is about 30% pricier than the market standard for these sorts of bowls with about a 30% smaller portion size. Will definitely skip in the future and stick with Dig Inn, Cava, Fields Good Chicken, etc. read more

Major props to the gal and guy team who served us Saturday evening when we walked in starving and minutes before closing. The gal behind the counter was not only cheerful, she also got us fresh veggies from the back. The food is always delicious and filling, but great service is what makes each Little Beet experience 5 stars. I just hope out of control inflation doesn't cause them to raise prices again. read more

Good healthy food. Vegetarian friendly. Lots of options. Friendly people. Clean and spacious place.

The service here is amazing! The employees are all so nice and helpful. I wish we could leave tips for them! There's no tip jar at the register. The food is also delicious and fresh. read more

On my first few visits to Little Beet I did "Make Your Own" bowls, operating under the assumption that I probably know best what I like. I thought those bowls were OK, and at that point would have probably given this place a 3/5. However, on recent trips I have been in more of a hurry and gone with the "Chef-Crafted" bowls out of convenience. As it turns out, they are VERY nice. I guess I should have put my ego aside sooner and left the guesswork to the experts! Highly recommend these. In particular, I am a fan of the Brussel Hustle, with or without chicken. It's a great combination of textures and flavors and makes healthy greens surprisingly crave-able. The Beet Falafel is a close second. read more

Love it here! The food is always fresh and delicious. And the staff is always personable and courteous. Even during rush lunch hour!! I go every day and can make a different tasting bowl that's still healthy! read more

I've passed by this place so many times but never went in up until about a month ago. I didn't know what I was in the mood for and wanted to take a break from my usual lunch. I'm so glad I finally tried this place! I was looking for something quick to eat, so I ordered the butternut squash soup and a side of chicken. Omg. The butternut squash soup is SO SO good!! Perfect for the cold weather we've been having lately. The chicken was a little too salty for my liking but it was still okay. I found myself coming in here almost every day to get the soup. I switched my protein to salmon - YES! So good especially with the chipotle aioli on the side! The staff here is very friendly and even though the line can get very long, it goes pretty quickly. One thing I suggest is that they have the option to order the butternut squash soup on UberEats!! It's a must! read more

Really disappointing to place an order online and the website gives you a pick up time, then you arrive to pick up and they aren't even aware that you placed an order.

Always liked this place; food tasted good and fresh. Unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience at the park avenue location - there were hairs stuck to the food at the bottom of the container and who knows how many more that were consumed. (I have long blonde hair, these were short and black) Wrote them an email about this and they didn't even bother to acknowledge it - definitely not a sanitary location. read more
