Best Burger - Edit
We ate the eponymous superiority burger - one as vegetarian (the standard) and one as vegan. They were delicious! The burger patty appeared to be house-made and was thinner and had an amazing vegan cheese. The sauce and pickles finished it out perfectly.

Good comfort food, very expensive - Edit
I liked, didn't love, this place. I got the veganized Superiority Burger, which was tasty but extremely mushy and basically fell apart after a few bites. It also must have been cooked next to my friend's vegetarian burger because cheese transferred onto part of my patty. So that was disappointing for a place that is vegetarian and welcomes vegans. I'd expect a goof like this in an omnivore restaurant, but not at a vegetarian haven. The old-diner atmosphere is lively and fun. But yeah, this place is very expensive for comfort food. I'm a New Yorker and used to sticker shock, but $25 for a burger and fries is bananas.

Delicious comfort food - Edit
Kinda loud, busy, party-like atmosphere, with upbeat music and subdued lighting. Definitely a popular place when I went for dinner on a weekend night. It was easy to order a vegan burger and fries, which came pretty quickly, and was really good. The staff was way busy and way friendly.

Worth It - Edit
The creative, unique daily specials are the highlight but nothing is less than great at Superiority Burger.

Tasty but overpriced - Edit
I’ve been here a decade ago when they first opened and loved it. Went back now and still loved the superiority burger and fries. The beans were delicious too. I found the burnt broccoli kinda bland and uninteresting. Everything is also way way too expensive for what it is and the place is way too loud

Came as a group of 3 and we had the superiority burger and collard greens sandwich. Food was fine. The servers were attentive and food was fast.

Great - Edit
It was really delicious! The fries, burgers, and desserts were very good! I enjoyed the pearl pie and oro-lychee ice cream. One suggestion, make some more kid-friendly options, but it was cool there were crayons.

Greens and beans, ingenious desserts - Edit
This quickly became one of my favorite newish places in NYC. It’s a mostly vegan menu that changes occasionally with daily specials that are always worth checking out. The yuba and broccoli rabe sandwich is my current favorite. I highly recommend the bean dish with greens and focaccia, especially good for sharing. Their desserts are super unique and mind blowing, definitely worth a try. Glad this place exists.

Awful service - Edit
Staff were incredibly rude for the moment we arrived. The staff member who greeted us was dismissive, unhelpful, passive aggressive and rude, even though we were perfectly polite and not inconveniencing them in any way. The service was slow. I didn’t feel that anyone cared we were there which is rich considering a burger is $20. The food was excellent when it finally arrived, it’s just such a shame that the servers everything down to that level. They seem completely uninterested in us, and the poor service meant it took 40 minutes to get the check and pay. Appalling, wouldn’t go back because of the awful staff.

That’s never been my experience. The workers there are always cool. Seems like your expectations need a reset.

Mediocre food, rude service - Edit
The older location had better food. I appreciate that the menu is original and pretty good, if overpriced. The service is terrible- rude staff who are forgetful and seem more interested in being cool than taking care of customers.
Read morePros: Different food from the usual vegan stuff
Cons: Lousy service, High prices

Just meh. - Edit
Hubby and I are visiting NYC for the holidays and stopped here for lunch on a Friday afternoon, right as they opened. We were seated promptly, the waitress explained the specials and fetched our drinks. The menu is quite small. We ordered the vegan version of the Superiority burger and the vegan chili cheese dog that was on special. The burger came with nice thick fries and the chili cheese dog came with chips and a small side of macaroni salad.
Read moreOverall the food was mediocre. The burger and the hot dog were both very mushy and the dog did not taste at all like a hot dog. It filled the void but that was it.
The service was attentive and friendly.
It was also not inexpensive at $80 for a burger, hotdog, one beer and one glass of wine, including tax and service. However this is NYC.
Pros: Great service., good fries
Cons: mushy veggie burger

Original tastes, local ingredients, but $$$ - Edit
The mochi cake was quite nice, as were the pickled sweet potatoes, but I just have a hard time justifying the portion sizes with the cost. Especially for the signature namesake dish. Fine dining in a diner style establishment.

Nice dinner - Edit
The burger was really good; softer than other vegan burgers and very nice. I was disappointed by the yuba but I liked the bread. Pricey, but a great vibe and setting there!

Pricey - Edit
Why is this food so expensive? I feel like I can make something at home that is cheaper and tastes better. Which is what I will do next time.

It was good, not great - Edit
I came here on a recommendation from a bike tour guide. It was just okay. The sloppy Dave (tofu sloppy Joe) was very salty. I also had the burned broccoli salad, it was good but had a taste I didn’t care for. I don’t think I’d go back. It was too pricey for the meh tasting food. The broccoli and sloppy Dave were almost $30. Glad it was busy but it’s not the quality I’m used to for a vegetarian/vegan spot.
Read morePros: All vegetarian, can be made vegan.
Cons: Far too salty, Expensive

Amazing - Edit
This place is just so good, and the vibe is so fun. There were dishes that I would happily eat every day. The cornbread that comes with the spicy lentils was mind-blowing - the first made me sad to think that it was going to be gone soon. The Sloppy Dave was great, and the peanut butter pie felt like eating a cloud. I didn’t love the burnt broccoli salad, if I’m honest, but the candied cashews that came with it were delish, so it wasn’t all bad.

so so good but pricey - Edit
The new Superiority Burger space is fun and the expanded menu is as tasty as ever. Especially don't sleep on the yuba sandwich! Cocktails and a full bar are now available too if that's your thing.
Read moreReally the only downside is to make a meal of it you kind of need to order a sandwich and a side and it's hard to do that for less than $40, which really kind of pushes it out of the elevated fast food price bracket they pretend to be playing in.

Good! - Edit
Just visited them in their new location. The new location used to be a popular Ukrainian/Polish restaurant so it was fun to be back in the space… quite the same as when it was Odessa. I applaud anyone who opens a restaurant, especially a vegetarian restaurant… BUT… i just think of you are going to be a “burger joint” then the burgers should “kill” and not murmur…

Great veggie burgers that aren’t just impossible/beyond meat. I love this place. The burgers are on the smaller side FYI so you might want to get more than 1 or get a side too.

Very Good - Edit
Very tasty food and not overly expensive. I love the fact that everything is super fresh as well and rotates with seasonal veg. Would love to see a menu online as well as an option to order ahead too because the line *can* get very long.
