If you’re vegan this place is to die for. I wanted to try so many dishes and it was so hard to pick! The food was incredible, we got spicy dumplings, crunchy spicy tofu and ofc I had to get drinks and an ube crème brûlée! The purple drink is an ube latte. I am definitely going back to try as many things as possible!!!

This was the best vegan food I’ve ever had! The vegan shrimp was unbelievably good—it really felt like I was eating real shrimp. The buffalo wings were absolutely out of this world and tasted just like chicken. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, and the ambience was amazing. The only small downside was that the chopsticks were made of steel, which made them a bit slippery and harder to use. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back!

wow what a heavenly, amazing place!! my wife and i came here for our honeymoon and were absolutely blown away. it's amazing to find a place that is all vegan, especially with such a varied and extensive menu. it's a very cute spot, close to grand central station. for entrees, my wife got the pork fried rice and i got the crispy eggplant. both were very yummy. but the SUSHI is what amazed us; we shared the tempura roll and the chicken teriyaki roll. oh my god, the tempura roll is the single best tasting piece of food i put in my mouth on my honeymoon. and we ate A LOT. i also have to say that as a vegetarian, i was so excited about the many fake meat options here; the vegan shrimp was to die for. i will say it is a bit pricey, but no more expensive than other comparable places in the city. it's worth the splurge for sure, more than many other places. we loved this place so much, we came here for our final sendoff meal before heading back home. it's 10000% on the list of places to eat next time we're back in the city.

It's long overdue that I leave a review for Franchia. I've been there many times over the years and personally I feel like it is the best vegan restaurant in NYC and it's easily my personal favorite! The people that work there are so friendly, and at this point they remember my face and my go to order. :) If you're looking dish recommendations, #1 is the Crispy Korean Chili Tofu entree (great if you like spicy foods). Other recommendations: Appetizers I'd Recommend: - Crispy Scallion Pancake (my favorite!) - Baby dumplings - Japchae dumplings - Spring Rolls - Peking Duck Baos - Fried Manchurian Cauliflower Entrees I'd Recommend: - Crispy Korean Chili tofu (A must for spicy food lovers) - Crispy Eggplant (Really good and savory!) - Spicy Franchia Noodles - Katsu Curry Udon Drinks I'd Recommend: - Thai Iced Tea (it's so good!) - Korean Plum Sparkling Soda - Omija (Schisandra) Tea (Hot) - Lychee Wine Soups I'd Recommend: - Creamy Cauliflower (definitely get it when they have it) Dessert I'd Recommend: - Chocolate Fudge Cake

We went to Franchia Vegan Cafe at 12 Park Ave and it was absolutely top notch. The restaurant is in Murray Hill, and it feels like such a great find if you’re looking for a really special vegan Korean / Asian-inspired restaurant in Manhattan. The space was super clean, calm, and had a vibe that felt authentic to the cuisine. The staff was also incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and fast, which made the whole experience even better. But the food is what really blew me away. I got the Korean Wild Green Tea First Picked, and it was unreal. Yes, it had that beautiful green tea character, but it was so much more layered than that—smooth, complex, almost naturally sweet, and honestly one of the most memorable teas I’ve had anywhere. I also ordered the iced matcha latte, and it was easily the best matcha latte I’ve ever had: no grittiness at all, just incredibly smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. We also had the baby dumplings in spicy sauce, popcorn shrimp, fried Manchurian cauliflower, spicy kimchi pancakes, Peking duck baos, and the duck rice bowl. Every single dish was excellent. I’m still baffled by how well they nailed the shrimp texture—seriously impressive. The flavors
