If you want to go all in Paleo , Hu kitchen is the place.
Loved it.
Eating paleo has quite a few contradictions and idiosyncrasies. To name a few; A) No one can be quite
sure exactly what ancient humans ate so to model
a diet and way of life on this is ludicrous. B) Paleo restrictions on dairy make little sense if the objective is to increase fat. Go ahead lactose tolerant paleos add some full fat cheeses and yogurt. Dare you!
There are however some great benefits in cutting down
on grain based foods and starchy and glutinous foods.
In a high tech cave man type cafeteria ,complete with faux caves of Lesceaux artwork ,Hu kitchen serves up
delectable foods and snacks.
The organic chicken is straight out of a full-fledged french rotisserie, was off the chain delicious. Accompanied by some very nicely seasoned roasted sweet potatoes and pineapple It was one of the better chicken dinners I've had in recent years. The portions are yuuge, as if the Paleos are coming in off the street in starvation mode. Purportedly a common thing in the ancient human world.
The Bonito, a snack/ desert of some sort of nuts
Kiwi fruits and cashew cream was all out yum,but if you are doing Paleo to loose weight stay,away from these type items as they ad too many highly concentrated calories.
If you can afford to you can eat Hu kitchen's Paleo style foods for all your meals and never feel wanting for anything "modern" hehe.
Hu kitchen is a breath of fresh air in the same old ,same old, caves of the Manhattan restaurant scene.
I was so excited to discover this spot! It was the sign that said "Paleo Pumpkin French Toast" that intrigued me. I used to be paleo and I think I would have screamed like an excited teenager at an N'Sync concert in the 90's if I discovered this place three years ago during those dark grain-free days…
I just wish I enjoyed my food here – I wish it was memorable and delicious, but it's really not. The food is pricey and the portions are awful. The service is meh and it just feels like a bummer.
I tried the paleo pumpkin french toast that day and honestly do not remember it at all. It was bland and mushy and I know I should have eaten some of the typical lunch fare instead. On a return visit (because I believe in second chances), I tried their breakfast burrito with pulled chicken and it was again bland, mushy, and I ended up giving some of it to my dog instead (he definitely enjoyed it way more than me).
It's a good concept and the premise is enticing for those on diets with special needs or just looking for some healthy unprocessed fare (I'm looking at you, yes you, with your kombucha ways)- but I'm just not sold by it. Maybe it's because I'm no longer a cavewoman but even their iced coffee was horrible, and I was annoyed I spent so much money for such small portions of food.
May be a it pricey, but healthier than your average place. The coffee is quite good – a double shot latte really hits the morning spot. Just add some coconut sugar and enjoy! I'd prefer to get my coffee en route to work rather than at Starbucks which always has a queue and lower quality. It's still not great, but it'll do the trick.
Came here for lunch today under the recommendation of a co-worker. Their menu is pretty extensive so be wise with what you choose!
I went for the entree with two sides – 1/4 organic rotisserie chicken, roasted cauliflower and caramelized pineapples. The chicken was OKAY – a bit too dry for me but the skin was delicious! The cauliflower was pretty tasty too. The pineapples were definitely my favorite – the cinnamon was such a good combo to the juiciness of the pineapple.
Overall, the food was good but not for the price. I paid a little over $15.00 for the above… but I would still definitely come back to try their other items!
One of my new go to spots for a healthy, fast meal. Now, if you think everything in here is low calorie, don't fool yourself. They use a lot of nuts (cashews) and butter to give their food flavor. They also have desserts that might be made with better ingredients than the typical junk food fare, but low calorie they are not.
As for the taste, I enjoyed my $12 meal of cauliflower mash and a medley of vegetables shaped in the form of a lasagna with a cashew type crust on top. The portion is very generous and left me full.
There is ample seating upstairs and downstairs, and free pitchers of water in both areas (nice touch). The service was quick – so don;t be intimidated by the long line you will probably be met with.
I pass this place while walking back and forth to school, and finally decided to give it a try. I picked up two dinner bowls for the price of $25. The food was good, so why only 3 stars?
For $12 a bowl, I would've expected the portion to be bigger than what you would expect a medium soup cup to come in. It was TINY! And it's not as if I'm getting pure meat… it was all vegetarian. Quinoa. Mashed up roots. A very small roll (smaller than a garlic knot).
It was good, but not $12 per small taste good. Wouldn't go back, as healthy as it makes itself out to be.
Giving this five stars because I think it's a unique concept. I'm just starting a whole 30 diet plan and this place fits right into it. It's a cool, fun to be in, nice people and great atmosphere. I thought the food was interesting and unique. I got the egg sandwich which was on a grain free roll and I thought it tasted very healthy and somewhat delicious. All the snacks and stuff are great as well. A must do if you want a healthy alternative in New York or on the Paleo diet
SO DELICIOUS! I had wanted to try this place for so long and I'm glad I finally did. I got the cauliflower mash bowl with the Moroccan spiced chicken, and it was fantastic. The house-made hot sauce made it even better. I had trouble believing the cauliflower mash wasn't secretly buttery mashed potatoes!
I also got the vanilla chia parfait and the almond crusted chicken tenders. Delicious as well, although the mash bowl was my favorite.
Super excited to come here more often!
