    I don't understand why Superiority Burger doesn't have a higher rating. I went there on a sweltering Monday and ordered the tofu-fried tofu sandwich and a beet salad. The salad was the perfect antidote to the slumpy weather with its crisp, sweet-and-sour beets, fresh dill, piquant dressing, and, best of all, little fried pretzel pieces that took that salad and elevated it to the level of a treat. So many flavors and textures, from salty to sweet to sour to crisp to creamy to firm and crunchy, with the jewel tones of the beets complemented by the green, feathery dill, white dressing, and earthy pretzel nuggets. So far so good! Then, the tofu sandwich. If you're a vegetarian like me, you've tried your share of bean curd and you know that a slab of tofu as the centerpiece of a dish carries a red light warning of potential sogginess and blandness. This tofu had a smoked flavor and texture that struck the right balance between watery and meaty, with a perfectly crisp breading. Toothsome indeed, but enhanced by slaw, dressing, and what must have been a homemade sesame-studded focaccia. So far, lunch was outstanding. Dessert was the only less-than-perfect dish; I ordered a vegan tutti-frutti cake made of polenta and coconut with a colorful fruit topping. It was too sweet, with a strange, candy-like flavor. Eh, it was still dessert, and who can blame the kitchen for experimenting? The server was kind to me in my disheveled, sweat-logged state and poured me many cups of water as I raved about the food. As a postscript, I've been hankering to try this place ever since it opened, and have been thwarted various times. As I live in the DC area, I don't get to New York often, so I was so happy that I made the schlep down to Avenue A and, at long last, had the Superiority Burger experience of my dreams. Long may it thrive!

    I came here in a group of 4 without a reservation at approximately 9 PM on a Thursday night and waited ~5 min for a table. Food / Drink: They have COFFEE thank goodness. It definitely fits the atmosphere they have (looks like a diner). We had some spectacular food including a few yuba dishes and some spicy greens. A big plus is that all food options are VEGETARIAN and a majority are vegan (or at least vegan accommodating). I had perhaps the best dessert I have ever had in my entire life (pearl pie) that was the ideal mix of a muted sweet custard with a wonderful crust. Consistent with prior recommendations, we passed on the burger itself. Atmosphere: Diner vibes and also open late night apparently. We enjoyed our time so much that we went back again the next TWO nights in order to try their "late-night" menu (including the much-hyped tofu fried chicken sandwich) but for an unknown reason, they were not open!? Nothing on social media or online - so this was unfortunately quite disappointing. Service: Unfortunately quite average to even a bit below average if I'm being honest. It feels a bit like they know how good their food is...? I wish I could rave and "strongly recommend" this place and my rating feels high? I would prefer to give a 3.5 due to the lack of reliable hours (without any posts online!) Thankfully, I was quite nearby and it wasn't a big deal, but I would have been so disappointed if I traveled across the city late at night for this...

    I've been wanting to try this spot for forever so I'm glad my friend and I were able to casually get a table at around 9:00PM on a Thursday. We both ordered the soda special (guava orange mango) and it was very refreshing. My friend is a vegetarian so he really appreciated that this place is all vegetarian/vegan. We both tried the superiority burger and enjoyed it. However it is a MESS. The patty doesn't hold up very well so everything falls apart. I don't like tomatoes or pickles and they were happy to substitute them for the fried onions in mine- great addition. The highlight of the meal was the pea shoots with spicy mushrooms. Amazing flavors (not too spicy, not too saucy-oily) and great texture of the pea shoots. I was really looking forward to the gelato bc so many people rave about it. It was really great but I'm slightly annoyed that they force you into getting 2 scoops. Both flavors (peach and I believe butterscotch pecan?) I got ended up being so good I didn't mind in the end but I think it's a strange rule. Overall, I wasn't totally blown away but I would come back to get the pea shoots and I'd be interested in trying their other veggie sides/collard greens sandwich.
