NU Kitchen Somerville

"I went in there with a little hope but the food was very average as per the price. To start the edamame dumplings were bland. Although it said it has mushrooms- I couldn’t find any. They were even breaking from sides. Also, there’s no option of - steamed, fried or pan-fried. When it arrived on my table only then I knew it was like pan-fried. The vegan waffle wasn’t great either. The crust was too thick and had too much cinnamon. My husband tried the Short rib sandwich and it was okaish. Basically, higher price for basic food. We went on a Saturday brunch and wasn’t crowded."

"I have been to NU kitchen in Worcester- my all time go to for açaí bowls. Recently I ordered a takeout from NU kitchen Somerville and it was not the same experience. Very disappointed with the quality and presentation of the food. Açaí bowl seems not so fresh and poorly filled."

"Came in for breakfast as we had done before a couple years ago and liked it. Upon walking in we were not greeted, in fact all of the staff were on their phones and not friendly whatsoever. I asked for my coffee to be made in my personal cup and was forced to get a large simply bc my cup was 24oz (other places have no issues making a 16oz coffee in my 24oz cup). The food was pretty good! Love to have so many plant based options. I got the Florentine egg sandwich which could have had more flavor but overall was good. My sibling got the super fruit waffle which was amazing! They really put so much fruit on top and the flavor was delicious. Our coffees are good and the flavor options were decent. I can’t say I’ll be back just because I had such an unpleasant experience with the staff. I don’t mind paying higher prices for plant based food but because the staff and atmosphere were lacking it didn’t feel worth the price point. Disappointed to say the least."

"Give it a shot as this restaurant is among the fewest high review ones opening early in the morning, so I could get it as takeout for lunch on my noon flight trip. I got tofu harvest scramble and Cesar chicken wrap. Both are very fresh, well packed and delicious! My only comment for chicken Cesar is lack of option to be light or no of Parmesan cheese. Wish I could do less in Doordash. I will definitely come back for other dishes next time."

"The staff was super friendly and there's a lot of vegetarian and vegan options too so that's great! You can even veganize stuff that isn't which is also super cool. I took the vegan tacos and wasn't a fan unfortunately. The scrambled tofu tasted bland and since there was only avocado and some sauce beside the tofu I didn't really eat much. The smoothie was super good though!!"
