First of all, this is a restaurant, not a cafe. I liked everything i had there and all staffs are very nice. I drank Saratoga still water, Chungha, and sparkling water with lemon slices for drinks and had Jeon combo, vegan gluten free chicken curry with rice in a stone bowl, fried cauliflower, fried string beans, fried carrots, fried mushrooms, penang noodles, and vegan dubai chocolate ice cream. It’s a good place for non vegan as well. I was impressed by their Korean authentic and nice tea menu, also. I strongly recommend you to visit Franchia.

Franchia Vegan Café has earned a reputation for its generous portions and welcoming atmosphere. Reviewers consistently praise the Jeon combo, a dish featuring vegan gluten-free chicken curry with rice in a stone bowl, accompanied by a variety of fried vegetables. The Penang noodle is also a standout, although specific details about this dish are scarce.

This review is a long time coming. I'm born and raised in NYC and have been vegan for 16 years. I've tried vegan restaurants all throughout the city, probably all the major ones. Franchia Vegan Café is definitely in my top 2 for my favorite vegan restaurant of all. The portions are fantastic—during a time where most high end restaurants are serving tiny dishes and charging an arm and a leg—but most importantly, the flavors are amazing every single time! I brought my mom here recently for her birthday, she's Hispanic and had never tried this kind of food before, and she was obsessed! I do need to try more of the menu, but my all time favorite entree is the Penang Noodles. It is literally the best vegan noodle soup bowl in this entire city! Love the creamy curry and spicy flavors as well as the toppings with tofu skin, tofu chunks, eggplant and vegan chicken. Also obsessed with the volcano roll, dragon roll, and tofu skin rolls. Their rolls in general are fantastic and in my opinion, better than a certain vegan sushi restaurant that will not be named. The baby dumplings are another great item, the scallion pancakes, the braised tofu with kabocha pumpkin, the hot stone chicken teriyaki plate, and more! They have an incredibly extensive menu so you're sure to find something you love! And lastly, the atmosphere is so calming with its low lighting and calm zen like music. They truly offer a nice respite from the chaos of the city.
