    I already knew Williamsburg has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to dining choices, but it was the first time Jamie W. and I walked on Bedford Avenue. We were tempted by several choices after crossing the Williamsburg Bridge and traipsing through Domino Park. This pan-Asian vegan restaurant is actually on North 10th Street a half-block away from Bedford. A local vlogger in Brooklyn recommended it, and well, we wanted to have a healthy lunch since we had been gluttons on our vacation. Overall our choices were OK but definitely not outstanding. We shared an order of the $8.50 Seitan Skewers with Satay Sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/LzNm8onMVD). Shaped into spheres like meatballs, the consistency was "meaty" and the sauce helped heighten the flavor. Neither of us cared much for the $7.50 BBQ Vegan Ribs which were slices of soy protein covered in a too-sweet citrus sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/K5ZEpY0Hhr). The $10.50 Avocado Salad was pretty decent with vegan cheese, cucumber, and a carrot ginger dressing (photo: https://yelp.to/dHuxlnduVc). The $3.50 Miso Mushroom Soup was satisfying (photo: https://yelp.to/ohErzvD2dH), though we just found our overall meal less than memorable. FOOD - 3 stars...rather unmemorable vegan fare though not for lack of trying AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious enough SERVICE - 3.5 stars...on the quiet side TOTAL - 3 stars...need to be choosier about which vloggers I can trust RELATED - Exploring Brooklyn? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2V51pX7

    Soy nuggets
    Denise S.

    Honestly, I'm very mad at the reviews on this place. I was confident when I looked at peoples pictures and I read reviews and it seemed like everyone was very satisfied with this place. Me and my husband decided to give this place a try and it was horrible. I ordered the soy nuggets and a mixed green salad. Those were the worst nuggets I have ever experienced. They were soggy and weird and too soft in the middle, then they had big pieces of edamame in it. The sauce that came with the nuggets were also just yucky. I was not that mad at that, I was like OK just not for me so let me just get a big green salad. He said they had a very good mango dressing to go with it. When he brought that salad out it looked beautiful with the variety of all types of greens but that sauce tasted horrible! It was like they just took mango juice and just poured it all over the salad. My husband ordered the basil soy and a spring roll with a ginger tea. He can eat anything but he couldn't finish this. The spring rolls was just full of cold thick cut vegetables. He also offered basil soy ,the vegetables was not fresh. It looked like it was some leftover vegetables they threw together. I would never go back here again and I suggest no one else does because I don't know what happened that day, but it was horrible.

    Crispy M23. Crispy Soy Protein
    Sandra L.

    I really enjoyed the food here. The mushroom dish was really cool and unlike anything I've had before. The soy protein dish was good but I personally found the sauce to be overwhelming but the texture of the soy was great. Not pictured was the miso soup and brown rice it came with, both of which were great. I would come back here. 2 entrees was about $41

    A9. Vegetable Dumplings and S1. Miso Mushroom Soup
    Elijah B.

    This is an all vegan restaurant with tons of options on its expansive menu. The orange seitan is an absolutely delicious option that tastes just like its chicken-based counterpart. The sauce is sweet and spicy, comes with rice and soup. The inside is standard, it's seems like a lot of locals in Williamsburg order takeaway from here.

    M7. Basil Soy Protein
    Irene S.

    Finding good vegan food that has both clean ingredients and amazing taste is difficult in my opinion so when I saw the reviews on wild ginger I had to experience it for myself. For starters we had tom yum soup, crispy soy protein nuggets and the bbq vegan ribs. For our main dish we ordered Thai basil fried rice along with Malaysian Curry Stew and basil soy protein. Then ended with the pumpkin cheesecake and peanut butter bomb. My favorites were the crispy so protein nuggets cause it literally almost tasted just like a chicken nugget and the sauce that came with it was delicious. Basil soy protein which has so much flavor and just the right amount of veggies to so protein and the peanut butter bomb. I am big into dessert and the peanut butter bomb was just the perfect touch to satisfy my sweet tooth. Now the rest of the food was just as equally amazing and to top it off the service was impeccable. We were greeted with a friendly smile and the waiter was very helpful in helping us decide what was the best dishes in the menu. The food portion was plenty and the price affordable. The food came out in a timely fashion and the atmosphere was calming and inviting. Overall we had an amazing time and will definitely be back again.

    Wonton Soup
    Jessie H.

    Just visited again on Saturday for the first time in such a long time. Everything was fresh and delicious. I love that everything is 100% Vegan. I really hope they evolve, and add more items to their menu. The Vegan scene is constantly changing, it would be wonderful to see new items on the menu, new desserts on the menu also. We got the Red curry Seitan, It was delicious , but it was missing the vegetables eggplant, cauliflower , just FYI. General Tso's Soy Protein , amazing! and crispy soy protein nuggets w/ plum sauce, also a Wonton soup. everything was fresh, and tasty. We will be back again soon!!!!! Ps. everything is served in plastic containers, due to Covid19, the staff, cleans and sanitizes after each customer. Thank you

    We finally made it to Modern Love. It's been on my list for years now because Isa Chandra is like…read morethe OG vegan chef. We happened to get there during brunch for our first visit, which was great because it was a mix of both lunch and breakfast options. We split one main dish from each part of the menu. The Tofu Benedict was the best Benedict I've ever eaten IN MY LIFE, and also top three best breakfasts I've ever had. The smoked tomato is what makes that dish extra special. The rosemary home fries on the side were also incredible and I'm really picky when it comes to potatoes. We also split the Chickpea Parm sandwich but I was so full that I ended up taking a majority of my half sandwich home. Which was perfect because it was even better cold! The Italian flavors mixed with the savory chickpea patty and the bitter greens was just perfect. The only thing that wasn't great (not docking any stars for this) was dessert. We ordered the Strawberry "Tiramisu." I'm putting Tiramisu in quotes because I detected no espresso and no cinnamon. It was super bland. I let my husband eat most of it. Would not order that again. I am looking forward to returning! The wait staff were really friendly, the ambiance was super pretty, and food came out super fast and hot. Perfection.

Warm atmosphere, a strong selection of vegan food and drinks, and the kind of place that made the evening feel special without trying too hard. It's since closed, and from what I understand it wasn't about the food or the love from regulars, it was the brutal economics of running a sit-down restaurant in a delivery-and-takeout world. Nine years of serving genuinely great vegan comfort food in Williamsburg, done in by margins rather than quality. That's a rough way for a good restaurant to go. If you ever got to eat here, you know what was lost. If you didn't, I'm sorry you missed it.

    HAAM continues to be one of my favorite vegan restaurants in the city. They recently revamped their…read moremenu, keeping some of the original favorites while adding several new dishes. I was a little disappointed to see the skirt steak from my first visit was no longer available, but that quickly disappeared once I tried the mofongo. The mofongo had bits of tempeh bacon mixed throughout and was topped with oyster mushrooms. The plantain was sweeter than the traditional green plantain mash I'm used to, but I actually loved that twist. The oyster mushrooms were seasoned so well they reminded me of chicharrón, while the tempeh bacon added the smoky, savory element that mofongo traditionally gets from pork cracklings. What really tied the dish together was the creamy coconut curry, which gave it a delicious Caribbean-inspired twist. The entire dish was creative, comforting, and incredibly flavorful. I'll definitely be back again soon.

I did wait about five minutes before someone greeted me. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it looked like the servers were also handling hosting duties. One was bringing food to a table while the other was closing out a check. Once someone was available, I was seated by a very friendly hostess. I ordered the chimichurri steak, and it was excellent. It was easily my favorite part of the meal, and I'd definitely order it again. The person I was with ordered the curry goat and substituted the roti for beans and rice. They really enjoyed it, but we both felt the portion was too small for the price. The quality was there, but I do think the serving could be a bit more generous. We also ordered an appetizer that disappeared almost as soon as it hit the table because it was so good. I also had the Island Onigiri, which I really enjoyed, along with a passion fruit drink that paired well with the meal. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The only small thing I noticed was that the restaurant was a bit chilly, and I felt like my food cooled down pretty quickly because of it.  The music was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and overall I had a really good experience. There are still quite a few things on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back and will update this review after another visit.
