I lost a total of $1.70 million to a romance and employment scam and was left overwhelmed with debt. A colleague suggested I look into a company called Mighty Hacker Recovery. After doing my own research, I decided to work with them. The recovery process was thorough and took patience, but I appreciated their communication and professionalism throughout. They also helped document information that could assist with identifying those responsible.

Absolute heaven!

I lived in Korea for 8 years pre-vegan and when I come here I can eat and drink some of my favorite Korean foods and drinks while having everything made both vegan and perfectly! They have a range of Asian food, but my favorites are always the Korean dishes❤️

Can’t wait to try more

We were feeling like a light dinner after the huge lunch we had so we didn’t try as many dishes here as we would have liked. We got the spicy kimchi bibimbap (with brown rice) and vegetarian curry hotpot. Both were amazingly good! Loved the vegan chicken in the curry! Next time I’d like to try their kimchi dumplings or pancakes.

Pros: Huge menu, All vegan, Delicious

Might be the best meal I’ve ever had

My palette had things it didn’t recognize or only vaguely recognized in the most exciting way with the yakitori, and the stone bowl duck dish was sizzlin’ and superb. The Reincarnation cocktail was refreshing, and I’m excited to try the black sesame pie (which i brought back to the hotel for desert). Separate GF menu with knowledgeable staff.

Pros: All vegan, Large GF menu

My favorite restaurant on the planet.

I’ve been here four times, each time it’s absolutely blown my mind.

The sushi rolls are creative and delicious, all of the entrees are vibrant and fun. Great cozy atmosphere.

It’s quite expensive (or maybe I just over order each time) but worth it for a top tier vegan experience.

Pros: Food is unbelievable , Creative and delicious options , Incredibly cozy

Cons: Expensive , Can never order everything I want

Freaking amazing

Sooooooo delicious! The mock meats in the penang noodles were varied and each were scrumptious. Fried dumplings were amazing. Can’t wait to come back, they have so many different options. Vanilla ice cream was quality as well.

Delicious rice bowls and ramen!

Stopped here for lunch after our first choice had too long of a wait, and wow I’m so glad we ended up here! We got the spicy kimchi stone bowl and and zen ramen lunch special with dumplings and it was all so good. The dumplings were some of the best I’ve had, the ramen was light but still had a lot of flavor, and the rice bowl was sizzling and spicy and so so good! I highly recommend coming here!

Korean fusion at its finest

There aren't enough words to express how much I love Franchia.

Judging by the name, you'd have no idea it's a Korean fusion restaurant. My boyfriend was pleasantly surprised when he saw the menu, worried that it would just be tea sandwiches and salads.

There are so many different options, and (mostly) everything I've ever tried is great. Especially love their spicy chicken roll.

I've found that I'm not a fan of vegan seafood (like the Zeastar salmon) which is what they used in their chirashi bowl. Just a textural thing, but my boyfriend enjoyed it.

Lovely interior and service is quick.

Pros: Vegan Korean, Tons of options

Tasty vegan options

We got two entrees: the spicy chicken and meatballs and the sashimi with crab. The chicken was fantastic, the meatballs were good but a bit mushy, the sashimi had a perfect texture and wasn't too fishy, and the crab was better than most fish-based crab I've had.

Pros: Great vegan imitation meats, Vegan sashimi is unique , Setting and service

Cons: Expensive

Ambiance, Service, Delicious Food

Dish after dish of complex tasting, gorgeous food. We had soup of the day (cauliflower), chicken satay, pho, combo pancakes and mocha cake. All were amazing! The service is helpful and attentive and the ambiance is beautiful yet casual. A must-visit!

Truly excellent

Everything we ate was perfectly prepared, from the perfectly-spiced broth of the Penang noodle soup down to the slight crunch of the broccoli in the stone bowl (highly recommended for the delicious crunchy rice that sticks to the bottom!). The Korean wines are really delicious too. We took two non-vegans with us and they loved it and couldn't believe how realistic the chikin dish was! Definitely one of our favorite places we've tried in New York so far.

Beautiful Korean and Pan-Asian food and tea

Far and away one of the top 5 vegan restaurants in NYC. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Try the Avocado Bibimbap or Stone Bowl Rice. The Mixed Greens with Avocado salad and Pumpkin Porridge (soup), and sorbet are all great. They also have vegan sushi. There is a whole separate gluten-free menu section. And a MASSIVE list of unique flavors of hot tea.

The decor is stunning - real wood, painted tiles, and don't forget to look up and see the ceiling. It's a beautiful place for a birthday, anniversary, company dinner, or other special event. It's a little bit expensive but totally worth it.

Pros: Beautiful decor, Gluten-free menu, Vegan version of classic Korean dishes

Just delicious

Wow, Korean food that is vegan! Everything was so tasty and authentic. The dragon roll was delicious and then surpassed by the amazing soy duck wrap. The hot stone bowel kaboucha squash, & veggie bibimbap was excellent and the krispy eggplant in spicy sauce was wonderful. Even my mom vegan companion loved it. . Also the herb and regular teas were perfectly brewed in individual porcelain cup brewers. Can't wait to come back.

Franchia Vegan Cafe

I can’t believe I had not written a review for this restaurant sooner. I have been eating here for years and I am super addicted! Their Penang spicy noodle soup is to die for! So much so, I ate it multiple times during my recent trip to New York. They have other delicious things on the menu, but this soup is on another level, I highly recommend it!
