    Peacefood Vegan Restaurant - UWS at 82nd Street
    Ingrid P.

    It's so refreshing to find an authentic vegetarian restaurant, where the taste does not have you second guessing. The Peacefood restaurant on the UWS does put you at ease with their deliciously flavorful dishes, excellent service with a very comforting atmosphere. UWSiders have a vast array of restaurants that offer delicious food and dishes that can satisfy everyone palates. After finally getting a colonoscopy for the first time, with great results (came back negative), I've been more conscious about what to eat. Luckily, Yelp App & Elite Quad reviews have been priceless and a huge help. Peacefood Restaurant is a fantastic place to visit (aka Awesome-Sauce).

    PFC Tenders, soup of the day (cup size)
    Celena C.

    Slow service dinner. Not too attentive. Food isn't bad, but service is rather slow. Servers aren't too attentive. It took a while to get a table (no one greeted us for the longest time), order food, and get the check. It was also hard to get the servers' attentions because they didn't make eye contact. The food came out not slowly though. We ordered the PFC Tenders and Teriyaki Chicken. The chicken is a mix of soy and gluten. Both were good. The tenders were battered well. The chipotle sauce it came in wasn't too heavy. The tenders were seasoned well that I felt like they didn't really need the sauce! The added sauce and lemon slices were a nice touch. I remember ordering the Chickpea Fries before and not liking the seasoning, but the PFC tenders were good. Would recommend over the Chickpea Fries, even though the menu marks the Chickpea Fries as highly recommended. The Teriyaki chicken patty was on the salty side. It was overall a comforting dish though. Simple, but flavors were good. Pumpkin and broccoli were roasted well. I would come back for the food and cozy atmosphere. The servers are nice, but I do think the service could be much quicker and more attentive.

    Overall, had a good meal here. Food came out quick and theres good amount of options across entree, pastries, and beverage. Service was not that smooth in the beginning where we had to ask for water, menu came soaking wet, and asked for service throughout though improve towards the end.

    Pumpkin Quiche & Southern Style Biscuits & Gravy
    Maansi S.

    I love the concept of being able to try food items that you wouldn't typically be able to try as a vegetarian. The quiche was pretty good, until it wasn't. The beginning part of the quiche (the thinner part of it) was perfectly moist and delicious. As I ate through it, it got really dry and it took away from the taste of the quiche. The biscuits and gravy didn't have enough gravy for the second biscuit so it made it hard to eat the entire meal. The gravy was too salty for me as well. I would like to come back and try other items on the menu but I think I'll have to order something more safe next time.

    The place has always been one of my faves. I haven't been back in a couple of years and decided to stop by after a comedy show. I ordered tea (forgot which one), Spicy Szechuan Wontons and the Sautéed Beech Mushroom Bowl, everything was delicious. The service was great as usual.

    Food was fresh and healthy. The hangover helper juice was super yummy and fresh. The veggie soup was good as well. The veggie bowl with bokchoy, kabocha and Brussel sprouts was healthy and good and was a huge portion. Would definitely recommend.

    Peace food was very new to me because I didn't know what to expect with a vegan restaurant. My coworkers and myself order the burger and fries, a delicious fresh quinoa salad and a drink. . We order off ubereats. The service was excellent. Everything we order we received with our untensile

    Walked in on a relatively busy Sunday and was seated immediately. This was my first time and I am not vegan. The wait staff came to the table immodestly and took our order. The table ordered wonton and tenders. Main course was burger and fries. The food was flavorful and filling. Large portions. I wasn't feeling the drink selection but my party stated that their drink was delicious. I loved that I tried it and the food was delicious.

    I would never thought vegan restaurants have so much delicious food. It's so nice to see some much vegan places remixing their food to make vegan friendly people maintain their balance when outside. The food here was delicious and flavorful. I had the quinoa salad and a delicious drink forgot the name of the drink I order. Service was excellent food was fresh.

    Fast and clean, felt so fulfilling to have the bowl of veggies with brown rice. The Mac n cheese was not too heavy too. Highly recommend for a quick lunch. The desserts looked really good too, like cashew cheese cake and chocolate mousse cake. It's a very homey vibe inside and service was friendly too.

    Really good food and really generous portions! My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach because I didn't anticipate that the starters themselves would be so filling. The spicy schezuan wontons (one of the specials) was the standout for me. I came around 1:45 and was seated right away. The food came out pretty fast too.

    Peace food has gone down the drain since the head baker resigned. Everything tastes horrible and dry.

    Peace food is such a classic vegan spot with an old school feel. They have a lot of gluten free options including delicious cheesecake!

It just has that something-special quality- there's a good premise (veg/vegan mexican food makes so much sense), nice ambience, extremely yummy drinks, and a solid vibe. The first time I got a reservation with a friend; the second time I walked in and sat solo at the bar. Both times I had very friendly, helpful service. I've tried tacos (with vegan chorizo, don't see it on the menu at the moment), a quesadilla, and if I remember right, the fried mushrooms. They were all great - the tacos were amazing. And both times I/we got the churros, which are FIRE - I'm not even a dessert person but I highly highly recommend getting them if you like churros / cinnamon / chocolate at all. This is a lovely spot for a date, friends' hangout, parents in town, but maybe a little small to expect a big group to fit nicely. It was loud but not too loud. Expensive for sure but it feels really nice, not just a regular overpiced spot. And I'm not a vegetarian (neither is my friend), so take that into account.

This sandwich is usually not something that is available vegetarian so i was curious to see the flavors and textures. The steak is chewy and meaty so if you are not a fan of faux meat then i would proceed with caution. I enjoy the cheeses here as they are unique and different from each other. The sandwich overall was okay though not my favorite sandwich ever. - smoked Mac and cheese (7/10): macaroni with smoked goat cheese, cheddar, mozzarella baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with vegan pancetta and breadcrumbs. This was a cozy appetizer especially on a cold day. The flavors of the cheese are rich and smoky with a hint of saltiness from the pancetta and breadcrumbs. I would have liked it to be a larger portion and offered as an entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. I liked the ambiance and the option to try dishes that are usually meat heavy but the cuisine is not my personal favorite.
