Really big menu and options. The cauliflower buffalo wings were really lightly fried and flavorful. The black bean burger was flavorful but I did need to eat with a fork. My friend reserved about the soy chicken Sandwich. The dessert walnut cheesecake was awesome. Everything was fresh, service was friendly

Solid vegan food with an extensive menu and a really lovely lunch special. For $13.95, the lunch portions were filling, and as a sweet bonus, they come with a free lemonade or green tea. I highly recommend the soy chicken katsu lunch special. Server gave excellent suggestions to help us decide what to order! Fish options available too for those who are not vegan. Not sure the exact name of the dessert but the first  dessert listed was a notable, moist carrot walnut cake. I would definitely order again and I look forward to trying other dishes.

Highly recommend!! Everything was so good we forgot to take photos until dessert. The top star has to go to the Oreo milkshake. Everyone including non vegans will love it. In terms of food, we tried the vegan honey garlic BBQ wings, sesame medallions, the vegan quinoa taco bowl, the carrot apple walnut cake. All were so good, filling, and flavorful! The atmosphere is intimate and the service was amazing and so friendly. What an amazing spot! Will be coming back again!

Quantum Leap: A Unique Dining Experience in NYC _quantumleap_

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Quantum Leap, and I can confidently say it’s one of the most memorable restaurant experiences I’ve had in New York City. Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, this restaurant offers a delightful fusion of flavors in a truly captivating atmosphere.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a cozy ambiance, complete with sleek decor and soft, ambient lighting. The owner was incredibly welcoming along with an  attentive staff making you feel right at home.

The menu is a standout feature, showcasing a creative take on seasonal ingredients with a focus on plant-based dishes. I started with the crispy oyster mushroom appetizer, which was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. For my main course, I chose a limited time special made impossible burger, as well as the Vegan Seitan Philly Cheese Steak,  both were nothing short of spectacular—rich, savory, and perfectly balanced.

I also love the freshly made drink selection. I had a Pineapple Coconut Smoothie that paired perfectly with my meal.

Overall, Quantum Leap is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy a unique and flavorful dining experience in NYC. Whether you’re a dedicated foodie or just looking for a great night out, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their incredible menu!
