Diner Reviews
  • "Great menu of healthy fresh alive food and good service. But we didn't like the facilities that much, it needs new lighting, butter temp control (it was freezing) and a bit nicer softer warmer setting"

  • "Was back for a visit and made sure I headed to Gobo. The food and the service was as good as always. It made catching up with an old friend even better."

  • "Had a pretty good vegan meal here. We were one of two tables in the whole restaurant, and there was such a loud broken fan noise that we had to raise our voices to hear each other. Spinach cheese wontons were really weird, everything else was tasty."

  • "This was my second visit to Gobo. Couldn't wait to return after the first visit, which excelled in every way. This time visit didn't disappoint either! The food and service were excellent. We were served by a different waiter this time, but the waiter from last time remembered me - which was very nice. I can't rate Gobo enough. I have been to many vegetarian restaurants and Gobo beats them all, in every aspect. Looking forward to making my third visit :)"

  • "So many things to choose from on this menu you almost feel like you´re in Chinatown except the ingredients are all so healthy and there are some really creative dishes. Our waiter was happier than the cast of Book of Mormon and made the experience even better."

  • "Great food. Really enjoyed with different dishes we got. The scallion pancakes are a must!"
    Dined on 6/9/2014
  • "Since this was listed as one of the best vegetarian restaurants in NYC, my expectations were high. This is more like a high quality Chinese restaurant than a creative vegetarian one. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was VERY loud and the bathrooms were clean. Food was wholesome but lacked pizzazz. The dinner menu was not so clear, didn't list all the ingredients in the dishes. Since we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and his goal is to eat at all the best vegetarian restaurants, this failed to impress our party of three."

  • "Liked it so much went back again today! I am not a vegetarian but food like this could convert me. Every dish so far was amazing"
    Dined on 6/5/2014
  • "I really enjoyed the Moo Shu Cabbage and Carrots, and the Pine Nut Lettuce Wraps were really delicious! Even though I am a meat eater, I would definitely come back here."

  • "I eat a lot of vegetarian food, however. But I don't care for fake meat, which is mostly what's available here. My malaysian curry tasted good, (coconut rice very good) but wasn't anything special. Service was perfunctory, and not that fast, considering the place was half-empty."
    Dined on 5/27/2014
  • "We loved the yam fries to share and the pomegranate ginger ale. All our choices were tasty. Next time we would order small plates so that could we could share different things. Large plates are filling! Very helpful and friendly service."
    Dined on 5/26/2014
  • "We went with a group of six and were not disappointed. Small plates, salad and large plate were excellent. Plenty on this menu to keep coming back. We were there when the restaurant was a bit empty so not sure how it would be when full. "

  • "I am not a vegan--not even a vegetarian--yet Gobo is a favorite place, for its ambience and satisfying, novel food. When I have a veg client or friend to take out, it always seals the deal. I love seeing their eyes light up when they realize they can order anything on the extensive menu, and it is all tasty and lovely."

  • "and the grumpy White guy who waited on me could use some brushing up on his social skills. Really thought the food was so/so"
    Dined on 5/4/2014
  • "The menu was extensive in offering with a selection of options that made it feel worldly. The portion sizes did not disappoint and we left feeling very satisfied with our meal and our experience."

  • "When I first came here last year, I wasn't crazy about my meal. I had come back since then because my friends really enjoy it. I ended up going back twice last week, specifically, our waiters gave some incredible recommendations. Plus, I finally got to try the dessert, which was fantastic! Thanks, guys!"
    Dined on 4/19/2014
  • "Vegan? Gluten free? No problem! Took a vegan and a celiac to this vegetarian spot and everyone was happy. Good was delicious, price was reasonable. I would eat here anytime! The only downside was that the expediter kept bringing things to the wrong tables and we had to advise him that no, that's not for us, we are waiting on such-and-such. Very minor and he's probably still training. Despite the expediter service was very quick. Very pleased with this restaurant!"

  • "I was looking for a place to bring my wife for our date night. When we arrived at the restaurant there wasn't many people dining. Slowly people came in as it got later. The service was great, waiters would circulate each table about every 5-10 mins to fill our waters. My wife is a vegetarian and this place was one of the highest rated restaurant on open table. I prefer a restaurant that severs meat but their alternatives were amazing. I enjoyed the every dish that we ordered. The dishes were all very well flavored and were fairly large porting sized."

  • "Gobo serves up absolutely delish vegan and vegetarian dishes -- fresh, inventive, healthy feasting. I'll be back, again and again."

  • "Being a vegetarian for 36 years, I am always on the look out for a good vegetarian restaurant. Gobo didn't disappoint me! My first impression was how nice and cozy it was. Our waiter was excellent - gave us first class service and didn't rush us on anything, even long after the check was paid. The food was delicious and of course, so nice to have so much to choose from! I definitely recommend Gobo and will certainly be returning there."

  • "The food and service were both excellent. We had tofu rolls, risotto, chopped salad, a tofu stir fry, and key lime for dessert (probably the best part). The portions were surprisingly bigger than what I was anticipating. I've been here several times, and plan on visiting more."
    Dined on 3/22/2014
  • "Love each of our menu choices... Vietnamese noodles Moosu noodles Sizzling cutlets were amazing"
    Dined on 3/15/2014
  • "Pleasant atmosphere but food was good quality but mostly unexciting. Vegan doesn't have to mean boring. Drinks were excellent as was the service and the atmosphere."
    Dined on 3/8/2014
  • "I found out this place through blog and my colleague who lives around that neighborhood. My friend and I ordered two appetizers (cheese wonton and mango marinated tofu), one small dish (eggplants and green beans) and green noodle with bolognese sauce as main dish. All foods are so good! I was not happy about sake-jito. As dessert, we ordered creme brulee and vegan chocolate cake along with moroccan mint tea. They are excellent. I would love to go back again, but I think I am going to stick with wine instead of cocktail."
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "Food For vegan/vegetarians/vegetable loving carnivores - great food! Soy/Curd textures are right and sauces are delish! Service Mediocre would be an understatement for the poor service we received. We sat in the middle of a large picnic-like table and I was promptly served water while my friend's glass was overlooked for 20 minutes. This trend continued when the waiter forgot an entire entree and was so scarce that we could barely flag him down to inquire about the dish. Finally, he shows up and apologized by citing the fact that he was confused once he took our order. It didn't occur to him to come back and clarify? Left this meal so hungry solely because the service was below terrible. My solution/suggestion: Order food to go!"

  • "My girlfriend and I have visited Gobo twice. We've consistently loved their entrees, which offer a variety of approaches to Asian-style vegetarian cooking. Anything with mushrooms or soy nuts, in particular, will be spectacular. Skip the spring rolls (flavorless) and the juices (too sweet) in favor of more aggressively savory options."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "After a long absence, it was nice to return to this vegetarian adventure. The food is tasty and so well presented with lots of variety."
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "I'm not one for vegetarian restaurants, but this place was a real gem! The interior decorator did an excellent job creating a welcoming space with original lighting and a nice flow. The center of the restaurant was filled with several individual tables lined up in a row, which gave the illusion of one communal table. We sat towards the end, right in front of the kitchen, and the smells alone were divine. I would have been happy sitting there for hours just observing and inhaling all the dinner options, which, even though I barely knew what I was eating, were beautiful, delicious, and substantial. If every vegetarian meal were like this, I would give up meat!"

  • "Yummy! Love this restaurant, and am never disappointed."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The problem with the menu is that all the sauces taste the same. We had 3 different items and couldn't distinguish one from the other. I ate here a couple of years ago and it was delicious so maybe the kitchen was having a bad day..."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Overall experience was fantastic. Food was great. Wine was great. Service was fantastic. However, it was cold. It was the coldest day outside and inside of the restaurant, it was still cold. I saw people eating with their jackets on..."

  • "Great food, great service. BUT you URGENTLY need to fix tor change he heating system! We were freezing. Literally!"
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "I love Gobo. It's great to have vegan cuisine that is thoughtfully created and delicious. My carnivore friends, always skeptical at first, love the food here as much as I do and always agree to come back. The service is first-rate--prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn't ask for more. The food is so good and the portions so generous that we can't even think about dessert. Lots of reasons to want to live in the W. Village; Gobo is one more. Love it."
    Dined on 1/27/2014
  • "Gobo had one of the best vegetarian cuisines I ever tasted. I brought a friend who is skeptical of the taste of veggie cusines as a meat eater. She absolutely loved it. The way the menu and food is prepared, it can appeal to everyone. I would recommend making reservations for this place. It will take a while if you come in without reservations."

  • "Great server. Don't remember his name, but all of his recommendations were spot on. Excellent food. Beijing style seitan with Chinese broccoli was wonderful. Yam fries were thick cut and slightly battered. Delicious. The grilled oyster mushrooms with asparagus were fantastically flavorful. The green tea noodles with vegan bolognese was "meaty". Will definitely return. Only downside was the lingering smell of the food on my clothes. Better ventilation system is needed, perhaps."
